Section 1 – Conflict Minerals Disclosure

 

Item 1.01 – Conflict Minerals Disclosure and Report

 

Talon International, Inc. (“Talon”) manufactures and distributes a full range of apparel accessories including zippers and trim items to manufacturers of fashion apparel, specialty retailers and mass merchandisers.

 

Talon has determined that “conflict minerals” are necessary to the functionality or production of its products. Conflict minerals are defined by the SEC as columbite-tantalite (coltan), cassiterite, gold, wolframite, or their derivatives, which are limited to tantalum, tin, and tungsten. During 2016, Talon contracted for the manufacture of products containing conflict minerals but did not directly manufacture products containing conflict minerals.

 

Talon conducted a “reasonable country of origin inquiry” regarding conflict minerals used in its products. That reasonable country of origin inquiry was designed to determine whether conflict minerals were present in Talon products originated in the Democratic Republic of the Congo or an adjoining country (collectively defined as the “Covered Countries”) or arose from recycled or scrap sources.

 

After exercising due diligence by applying guidance from the OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas (OECD 2011), an internationally recognized due diligence framework, Talon has concluded that it is unable to determine whether any conflict minerals in products it manufactured or had manufactured in its fiscal year ending December 31, 2016 financed or benefited armed groups in a Covered Country.
