Rule 13p-1 under the Securities Exchange Act (17 CFR 240.13p-1) for the reporting period from January 1, 2018 to December 31, 2018.

Introduction

Effective for the year ending December 31, 2018, Zebra Technologies Corporation (“Zebra”) must disclose whether any conflict minerals necessary to the functionality or production of a product manufactured by Zebra (or contracted by Zebra to be manufactured) originated in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (“DRC”) or a country adjoining the DRC [Angola, Burundi, Central African Republic, Republic of the Congo, Rwanda, South Sudan, Tanzania, Uganda, and Zambia, together the “Covered Countries”], or whether the conflict minerals are from recycled or scrap sources. The disclosure requirement arose from Congress’s determination that trade in conflict minerals in Covered Countries is financing conflict in those areas, contributing to a humanitarian crisis.

The term “conflict mineral” is defined in Section 1502(e)(4) of the Act as (A) columbite-tantalite, also known as coltan (the metal ore from which tantalum is extracted); cassiterite (the metal ore from which tin is extracted); gold; wolframite (the metal ore from which tungsten is extracted); or their derivatives; or (B) any other mineral or its derivatives determined by the Secretary of State to be financing conflict in the DRC or Covered Countries (“Conflict Minerals”).

In accordance with Rule 13p-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (‘Rule 13p-1”), Zebra Technologies Corporation (“Zebra”) has filed this Specialized Disclosure Form (“Form SD”) and the associated Exhibit 1.01 Conflict Minerals Report for the reporting period January 1, 2018 to December 31, 2018 and is publicly available on Zebra’s website under “About Zebra”/“Company Information”/“Compliance”/“Products and Materials Compliance” found on Zebra’s website at: https://www.zebra.com/us/en/about-zebra/company-information/compliance/products-and-materials-compliance.html.
