☒ Rule 13p-1 under the Securities Exchange Act (17 CFR 240.13p-1) for the reporting period from January 1, 2022 to December 31, 2022

Section 1 - Conflict Minerals Disclosure

This Form SD of Sarcos Technology and Robotics Corporation (“we” and “us”) is filed pursuant to Rule 13p-1 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Rule”), and in accordance with the Instructions to Form SD except, however, that we are relying on the Updated Statement on the Effect of the Court of Appeals Decision on the Conflict Minerals Rule issued by the Division of Corporation Finance of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on April 7, 2017 (the “April 2017 Guidance”). As permitted under the April 2017 Guidance, this Form SD does not address Item 1.01(c) of Form SD.

The Rule was adopted by the SEC under Section 1502 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act to implement reporting and disclosure requirements related to “conflict minerals” (defined by the SEC as tantalum, tin, tungsten and gold) (collectively, “3TG Minerals”). Pursuant to the Rule, publicly traded companies must submit a report to the SEC after examining whether 3TG Minerals originating in the Democratic Republic of Congo or adjoining countries (Angola, Burundi, The Central African Republic, The Republic of the Congo, Rwanda, South Sudan, Tanzania, Uganda and Zambia) (together, the “Covered Countries”) are present in the products the company manufactures or contracts to manufacture and if any of such 3TG Minerals are necessary to the functionality or production of such products.

Item 1.01 Conflict Minerals Disclosure and Report

Company and Product Overview

We are a technology leader in the design, development and manufacture of advanced robotic systems and solutions that redefine human possibilities. We design and produce highly-dexterous mobile robotic systems and solutions for use in dynamic and unstructured environments. Our mission is to increase worker productivity and longevity and prevent injuries through robotics. Our robotic systems are designed to augment and increase human productivity by combining human intelligence, instinct and judgment with the strength, endurance and precision of machines.

Covered Products

We both manufacture and engage partners to manufacture most of our products. We conducted an analysis of the products that we manufacture or contract to be manufactured, and found that 3TG Minerals are in certain of our products described in the Company and Product Overview (and generally are required for their functionality or production as specified under the Rule). These products are collectively referred to in this Report as the “Covered Products.”

We and our manufacturing partners rely on third-party suppliers for the provision and development of many of the key components and materials used in the Covered Products, and are several steps removed from the mining and processing of the 3TG Minerals used in the Covered Products. As a result, we rely on our suppliers and manufacturing partners to assist us with our reasonable country of origin inquiry regarding the materials in the components supplied by them and used in the manufacturing of the Covered Products.

Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry (RCOI)

In accordance with the Rule, we conducted in good faith a RCOI for the reporting period from January 1, 2022 to December 31, 2022 to determine whether the 3TG Minerals necessary to the functionality or production of our products was sourced from Covered Countries or are from recycled or scrap sources. We requested from each supplier on our identified suppliers list a completed Conflict Minerals Reporting Template from the Responsible Minerals Initiative (“CMRT”) which asks for the disclosure of specified information regarding the inclusion of 3TG Minerals in the products supplied to us and the country of origin thereof. The CMRT is a standardized reporting template designed to facilitate the transfer of information through the supply chain regarding mineral country of origin and the smelters and refiners being utilized.

Determination

Based on responses received, we determined that 3TG Minerals present in certain of our products may have originated in the Covered Countries and may not be from scrap or recycled sources. We have elected not to file disclosure under Item 1.01(c) of Form SD in accordance with the April 2017 Guidance.

Pursuant to the April 2017 Guidance, we have provided only the disclosure required under the provisions of paragraphs (a) and (b) of Item 1.01 of Form SD.
