Item 1.01
Conflict Minerals Disclosure
In accordance with Rule 13p-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, adopted pursuant to Section 1502 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (“Dodd-Frank Act”), Associated Materials, LLC (the “Company”) has determined that certain products it manufactures or contracts to manufacture contain conflict minerals, specifically tin, which is necessary to the functionality or production of its products. However, after conducting a reasonable country of origin inquiry, the Company determined that it has no reason to believe that its conflict minerals originated in the Democratic Republic of Congo (“DRC”) or an adjoining country.

In order to make this determination, the Company sent inquiries to all raw material suppliers requesting that they provide formal representation regarding the origin of conflict minerals they have supplied to the Company for the period January 1, 2013 through December 31, 2013. Acknowledgments were obtained from substantially all of the Company’s raw material suppliers to confirm that its raw materials do not contain any conflict minerals sourced from mines in the DRC or adjoining countries. Based on its reasonable country of origin inquiry, the Company has no reason to believe that its conflict minerals may have originated in the DRC or an adjoining country. As a result of the process described above, the Company is not required to file a Conflict Minerals Report.

A copy of the Company’s Conflict Minerals Disclosure is publicly available at: www.associatedmaterials.com. Information contained in or accessible through the Company’s website is not a part of this report.
