Section 1 - Conflict Minerals Disclosure

 

Item 1.01 Conflict Minerals Disclosure and Report

 

Superior Group of Companies, Inc. (the “Company”) has received responses from suppliers whose products sold to the Company might contain conflict minerals. The responding suppliers report that the conflict minerals, if any, contained in products sold to the Company have not originated in the Democratic Republic of the Congo or an adjoining country, and, generally, are not necessary to the functionality or production of the products or come from recycled or scrap sources. The Company also has been informed by its suppliers that for a significant portion of its products, there is no indication that the products intentionally include conflict minerals.

 

To make this determination, in accordance with Rule 13p-1 (“Rule 13p-1”) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “1934 Act”), the Company conducted a good faith reasonable country of origin inquiry (RCOI). The Company, in part, conducted a supply-chain survey of certain of its direct suppliers of materials that might contain conflict minerals using the Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition and Global e-Sustainability Initiative (EICC/GeSI) Conflict Minerals Reporting Template and related inquiries. Additionally, the Company, which is not the manufacturer of the relevant products, is several steps removed from the mining of conflict minerals. The Company does not make purchases of raw ore or unrefined conflict minerals and makes no purchases in the Covered Countries.

 

Please refer to Rule 13p-1, Form SD, and the 1934 Act Release No. 34-67716 for definitions of the terms used in this specialized disclosure report, unless otherwise defined herein.
