Item 1.01 Conflict Minerals Disclosure and Report

In 2020, iRobot Corporation (the “Company” or “iRobot”) contracted to manufacture products in which “conflict minerals” (defined in Section 1502 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act) are necessary to the functionality and production of such products. In accordance with Section 1502, iRobot has performed a reasonable country of origin inquiry (“RCOI”) and undertaken due diligence efforts on minerals that were in iRobot’s supply chain for calendar year 2020 to determine if any of the Conflict Minerals were sourced from the Democratic Republic of Congo (the “DRC”) or adjoining countries (the “Covered Countries”) or were from recycled or scrap sources.

Conflict Minerals Disclosure

Based on inquiries to its contract manufacturers and the key suppliers to those manufacturers, the Company has determined that conflict minerals (as defined in Item 1.01(d)(3) of Form SD) were necessary to the functionality or production of certain robotic products (and accessories) that were contracted to be manufactured for the Company during the 2020 calendar year.

As of today, based on the Company’s RCOI and due diligence efforts, we do not yet know the source of all Tin, Tantalum, Tungsten and Gold (“3TGs”) in our products and therefore we do not have sufficient information to conclude that any of our products are “DRC Conflict Free.”

The Company engages in the production (through contract manufacturers) and sale of Consumer Robots, which include robotic vacuums and floor cleaners.

For our vacuum and floor cleaner Consumer Robots, we reached out to substantially all component and material suppliers in the supply chain to trace country of origin data. We partnered with a Third Party to collect information sought in the Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (“CMRT”) which was created by Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition (“EICC”), Global e-Sustainability Initiative (“GeSI”) and Responsible Minerals Initiative. The Third Party partner conducted a RCOI survey and distributed this throughout our identified supply base. Our Third Party partner provided training to suppliers who were unfamiliar with the template and analyzed each CMRT response for completeness, accuracy and applicability to the products we buy from the supplier. From this effort, we collected country of origin and smelter data at the component level.

Since the Company does not yet know the source of all the 3TGs in our products, it is filing the attached Conflict Minerals Report, which describes the Company’s RCOI and due diligence efforts that have been undertaken in connection with attempting to determine the source of the conflict minerals in its products.

The Company’s Conflict Minerals Report has been posted on the Company’s Internet website.

Item 1.02 Exhibit

A Conflict Minerals Report covering calendar year 2020 has been filed as Exhibit 1.01 to this Form SD.

Item 2.01 Exhibits
