Conflict Minerals Statement

The Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) has adopted rules regarding disclosure and reporting requirements with respect to “conflict minerals” as required by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. The rules require public companies to disclose whether the products they manufacture or contract to manufacture contain conflict minerals (tin, tungsten, tantalum and gold) that are necessary to the functionality or production of those products.

Although Hansen Engineering is not a publicly traded company, we support the goal of the rules to end violence and human rights abuses in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and surrounding countries that may be financed by proceeds from trade in these minerals. We are committed to complying with all requirements applicable under these rules and will work with our customers cooperatively in connection with their conflict minerals programs.

Hansen Engineering collaborates with our customers to ensure compliance with their conflict minerals programs. We require our suppliers to support us in implementing the necessary conflict minerals compliance programs by providing us with conflict minerals declarations using the EICC/GeSI Conflict Minerals Reporting Template or other such documentation as we may require. Failure to comply with this policy or refusal to support our conflict minerals compliance program will likely result in the termination of our business relationship with the supplier.
