Section 1 – Conflict Minerals Disclosure

Item 1.01 Conflict Minerals Disclosure and Report

In 2019, Arcos Dorados Holdings Inc. (the “Company”) contracted to manufacture products that contain certain “conflict minerals” (as defined in Section 1, Item 1.01(d)(3) of Form SD) that may be necessary to the functionality or production of such products. These products include certain toys that have components that contain tin, gold and tungsten.

Conflict Minerals Disclosure

The Company has conducted in good faith a reasonable country of origin inquiry regarding such conflict minerals. This reasonable country of origin inquiry was reasonably designed to determine whether any of the conflict minerals contained in its products originated in the Democratic Republic of the Congo or an adjoining country, or are from recycled or scrap sources.

As part of this inquiry, the Company identified all of its suppliers with which it contracted to manufacture products that could have contained conflict minerals in the year ended December 31, 2019. The Company sent conflict minerals questionnaires to, and received responses from, all of these suppliers. Two of these suppliers indicated that some of the products they manufacture for the Company contain certain conflict minerals. The Company subsequently sought additional information and clarifications from these suppliers for the purposes of its reasonable country of origin inquiry.

As a result of this reasonable country of origin inquiry, the Company has no reason to believe that any necessary “conflict minerals” contained in its products may have originated in the Democratic Republic of the Congo or an adjoining country.

This “Conflicts Minerals Disclosure” is also available on our website at www.arcosdorados.com/ir.html (Governance tab). The information contained on, or that can be accessed through, our website is not part of this Form SD and is not deemed incorporated by reference into this Form SD.
