Conflict Minerals Report of Helen of Troy Limited

In accord with Rule 13p-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934

This is the Conflict Minerals Report of Helen of Troy Limited (“Helen of Troy”, the “Company”) for calendar year 2016 (excepting conflict minerals that, prior to January 31, 2013, were located outside of the supply chain) in accord with Rule 13p-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Rule 13p-1”).

1.Introduction

Helen of Troy is a leading global consumer products company offering creative solutions for our customers through a diversified portfolio of well-recognized and widely trusted brands. We have built leading market positions through new product innovation, product quality and competitive pricing. Helen of Troy was incorporated as Helen of Troy Corporation in Texas in 1968 and reorganized as Helen of Troy Limited in Bermuda in 1994.  Helen of Troy has four business segments: Housewares, Health & Home, Nutritional Supplements and Beauty.  The Housewares segment provides a broad range of products to help with food preparation, cooking, cleaning, organization, beverage service, and other tasks to ease everyday living for families. Sales for the segment are primarily to retailers, with some direct-to-consumer product distribution. The Health & Home segment provides healthcare and home comfort products. Sales for the segment are primarily to retailers, with some direct-to-consumer product distribution. The Nutritional Supplements segment provides premium branded doctor formulated nutritional supplements, skincare and pain relief products to help people lead healthier, happier lives. This segment sells primarily direct-to-consumer. The Beauty segment provides personal care, beauty care and wellness products including hair styling appliances; grooming tools; decorative haircare accessories; and liquid-, solid- and powder-based personal care products. This segment sells primarily to retailers and beauty supply wholesalers.  Helen of Troy purchases its products from unaffiliated manufacturers, most of which are located in China, Mexico and the United States.

Helen of Troy contracts to have products manufactured that may contain gold, tantalum, tin and tungsten (“3TG”).  As these materials may be necessary to Helen of Troy’s products, the Company has embarked on a process to trace the origin of these metals to determine whether its sourcing practices support conflict or human rights abuses in the Democratic Republic of Congo (“DRC”) and the surrounding area (the “Covered Countries”). The intent of this Conflict Minerals Report (“CMR”) is to describe this due diligence process.

2.Product Description

Helen of Troy contracts to have products manufactured that may contain 3TG, such as houseware, health & home, and beauty consumer products.  Helen of Troy purchases finished product and is therefore several tiers removed from the mining operations.  The Company does not purchase any materials directly from smelters or refiners so Helen of Troy must rely on its suppliers to provide reliable and accurate information about 3TG.

Helen of Troy’s suppliers were requested to use the Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (“CMRT”) to identify gold, tantalum, tin and tungsten smelters or refiners (“SORs”) and associated countries of origin.  Verified SORs were matched against available lists of processors that have been certified by internationally-recognized industry validation schemes, such as the Conflict-Free Sourcing Initiative’s (“CFSI”) Conflict-Free Smelter Program (“CFSP”), the London Bullion Market Association Good Delivery Program (“LBMA”), and the Responsible Jewelry Council Chain-of-Custody Certification (“RJC”).  Conflict free certification information is current as of April 21, 2017.

3.Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry Description

Helen of Troy obtained the aforementioned product information by implementing a Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry (“RCOI”).  Helen of Troy assembled an internal team comprised of representatives from Helen of Troy’s finance, legal and supply chain departments.  Helen of Troy engaged Source Intelligence (“SI”), a third party information management service provider, to gather information from suppliers and establish a system of controls and transparency over its supply chain. This is the fourth consecutive year the Company worked with SI. Helen of Troy’s Tier 1 suppliers were engaged by SI to collect information regarding the presence and sourcing of 3TG used in the products supplied to them.  Information was collected and stored using an online platform provided by SI.

Supplier Engagement

As in previous years, the RCOI began with an introduction email from Helen of Troy to suppliers describing its conflict minerals reporting requirements. Following that introduction email, a subsequent email was sent to suppliers containing a registration and survey request link to the online data collection platform.  In an effort to increase awareness of the Company’s conflict minerals reporting requirements, supporting regulation, and frequently asked questions (FAQs) concerning 3TG mineral tracing, Helen of Troy’s suppliers were given access to an online Supplier Resource Center.  The Supplier Resource Center provided educational information to facilitate a deeper understanding of conflict minerals and to inform suppliers as to why information was being requested.

Subsequent engagement followed these steps:

·Following the initial introductions to the program and information request, up to five reminder emails were sent to each non-responsive supplier requesting survey completion.

·Suppliers who remained non-responsive to these email reminders were contacted by telephone and offered assistance. This assistance included, but was not limited to, further information about the conflict minerals reporting requirements, an explanation of why the information was being collected, a review of how the information would be used, and clarification regarding how the information could be provided.

Information Requested

Suppliers were asked to provide information regarding the sourcing of their materials with the ultimate goal of identifying the 3TG SORs and associated mine countries of origin. Suppliers who had already performed a RCOI through the use of the CMRT were asked to upload this document into the online data collection platform or to provide this information in the online survey version. Suppliers were given nine language options to choose from when submitting the CMRT.

Suppliers had the ability to share information at a level with which they are most comfortable, i.e. company, product or user-defined, but the declaration scope had to be specified. Supplier responses were evaluated for plausibility, consistency, and gaps. Additional supplier contacts were conducted as needed.  At all times during the above steps, Helen of Troy’s internal team was able to monitor progress 24 hours per day, 7 days per week via access to the Helen of Troy online data collection platform provided by SI.

4.RCOI Results

Helen of Troy’s RCOI process revealed the following:

·A total of 161 Tier 1 suppliers were identified by Helen of Troy as potentially in-scope for conflict mineral reporting purposes and all were contacted as part of the RCOI process.  The survey response rate among these suppliers was 83% (134 responding suppliers).

·Of the 134 responding suppliers, 38% (51 suppliers) indicated conflict minerals were necessary to the functionality or production of the products they supply to Helen of Troy.

·The 51 suppliers using conflict minerals provided names of 303 verified SORs.

·Of the 303 verified SORs, 247 are currently certified, 9 are actively moving through the certification process, and 47 have unknown status.  237 of the 303 verified SORs are not known to source from the DRC/Covered Countries.

3

·Sixty-six of the 303 verified SORs indicated possible DRC/Covered Countries sourcing.  Sixty-five of those smelters are certified conflict free. The remaining one smelter has gone out of business.

The following table lists the verified SORs provided by Helen of Troy’s suppliers, along with the certification status of each SOR as of April 21, 2017.

5.Due Diligence Process

Helen of Troy’s due diligence process was designed to conform to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (“OECD”) Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas and accompanying Supplements(1). It is important to note that the OECD Guidance

(1) OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas, Supplement on Tin, Tantalum and Tungsten and Supplement on Gold, 2013; http://www.oecd.org/daf/inv/mne/GuidanceEdition2.pdf.

was written for both upstream(2) and downstream(3) companies in the supply chain. As Helen of Troy is a downstream company in the supply chain, due diligence practices were tailored accordingly.

·Step 1- Establish strong company management systems

Helen of Troy’s conflict minerals policy is publicly available at www.hotus.com. The Company utilizes an internal team comprised of representatives from the finance, legal and supply chain departments to communicate and manage compliance initiatives.  Team members work with the suppliers on a continual basis to maintain an open dialog and transparency in the procurement process. Findings are reported to senior management, as well as to the internal audit department.  The Company’s internal team efforts are supplemented with a third party service provider’s extensive knowledge and experience, as well as training seminars on conflict minerals.

·Step 2- Identify and assess risk in the supply chain

The Company continues to refine its list of product categories and suppliers that may fall within the scope of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act.  Expectations with regard to supplier performance, transparency and sourcing are clearly communicated through supplier training.  Quality assessments with suppliers are being expanded to encompass compliance initiatives.  Suppliers are being encouraged to implement conflict mineral policies with their vendors.

·Step 3- Design and implement a strategy to respond to identified risks

Helen of Troy continues to make improvements on risk management.  As RCOI are conducted and additional information becomes available regarding components and materials being used in the Company’s products, potential risks can be tracked and mitigated.  The online platform maintained by SI allows Helen of Troy to access and analyze supplier responses as well as SOR information.  Any suppliers found to be sourcing from SORs that support conflict in the DRC region will be required to explore alternative sources.

(2) Upstream companies refer to those between the mine and SORs. As such, the companies typically include miners, local traders, or exporters from the country of mineral origin, international concentrate traders and SORs.

(3) Downstream companies refer to those entities between the SORs and the retailer. As such, the companies typically include metal traders and exchanges, component manufacturers, product manufacturers, original equipment manufacturers and retailers.

·Step 4- Carry out independent third-party audit of supply chain due diligence at identified points in the supply chain

As part of Helen of Troy’s due diligence, and in conjunction with SI, the Company relies upon the following internationally accepted audit standards to determine which SORs are considered DRC Conflict Free:  CFSI, LBMA and RJC.  If the SOR is not certified by these internationally-recognized schemes, attempts are made to contact the SOR to gain more information about their sourcing practices, including countries of origin and transfer, and whether there are any internal due diligence procedures in place or other processes to track the chain-of-custody on the source of the SOR’s mineral ores.  Relevant information to review includes: whether the SOR has a documented, effective and communicated conflict free policy, an accounting system to support a mass balance of materials processed, and traceability documentation.  Internet research is also performed to determine whether there are any outside sources of information regarding the SOR’s sourcing practices.

·Step 5- Report on supply chain due diligence

Helen of Troy reports annually on supply chain due diligence through the Form SD and this CMR filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  The Form SD is publicly available at www.hotus.com.

6.Steps to Improve Due Diligence

Helen of Troy will endeavor to continuously improve upon its supply chain due diligence efforts via the following measures:

·Continue to assess the presence of 3TG in its supply chain

·Clearly communicate expectations with regard to supplier performance, transparency and sourcing

·Increase the response rate for the RCOI process

·Continue to compare RCOI results to information collected via independent conflict free smelter validation programs

7.Product Determination

Based on its RCOI process, Helen of Troy is unable to determine whether or not various components/materials, which contribute to products sold by its business segments, are DRC conflict free.

8.Independent Private Sector Audit

Based on Helen of Troy’s declaration, a private sector audit is not required.
