Section 1
Conflict Minerals Disclosure

Item 1.01
Conflict Minerals Disclosure.

B/E Aerospace, Inc. (the “Company”) has determined that certain “conflict minerals,” as defined in paragraph (d)(3) of Item 1.01 of Form SD, are necessary to the functionality or production of certain products manufactured by the Company or contracted by the Company to be manufactured.  As such, the Company conducted a reasonable country of origin inquiry in good faith that was reasonably designed to determine whether any of the conflict minerals originated in the Democratic Republic of the Congo or an adjoining country that shares an internationally recognized border with the Democratic Republic of the Congo (an “adjoining country”, and together with the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the “Covered Countries”).

Based on its reasonable country of origin inquiry, the Company has determined that it has no reason to believe that its necessary conflict minerals may have originated in the Covered Countries.

The Company’s reasonable country of origin inquiry consisted of developing a survey for its suppliers based on the standardised EICC-GeSI conflict minerals reporting template designed to determine: (1) whether conflict minerals are used in a supplier’s goods and the identification of such goods; (2) whether conflict minerals are necessary to the functionality or production of such goods; (3) whether such conflict minerals come from recyclers or scrap suppliers; (4) the country of origin of such conflict minerals; and (5) a general understanding of the policies, procedures and other measures that a supplier has in place to verify whether or not its goods are “DRC conflict” free or “DRC conflict undeterminable,” as those terms are defined in paragraphs (d)(4) and (5) of Item 1.01 of Form SD.  The Company distributed this survey to its applicable suppliers, and none of the surveyed suppliers indicated that they source any conflict minerals from the Covered Countries.  The determination and information described herein is available on the Company’s website at http://www.beaerospace.com/ under “Investor Relations – Reports & SEC Filings.”
