Section 1 – Conflict Minerals Disclosure
Item 1.01 - Conflict Minerals Disclosure and Report
This Form SD has been prepared by Deckers Outdoor Corporation (herein referred to as “Deckers,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) pursuant to Rule 13p-1 (the “Rule”) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Deckers is a global leader in designing, marketing and distributing innovative footwear, apparel and accessories. The Company’s portfolio of brands includes UGG®, Teva®, Sanuk®, TSUBO®, Ahnu®, MOZO® and HOKA ONE ONE®. We conducted a reasonable country of origin analysis of our products and found that columbite-tantalite (coltan), cassiterite, gold, wolframite, or their derivatives, which are limited to tin, tantalum, tungsten and gold (“3TG”) are found in very few of our product lines, supplied by just six suppliers. Our investigation confirmed that the minerals used by four of these six suppliers were sourced outside of the Democratic Republic of the Congo or an adjoining country (the “Covered Countries”). Despite Deckers’ due diligence efforts, confirmation of the source of all minerals supplied by two suppliers was not possible to verify. Thus, claims by these two suppliers that all 3TG used in their products were sourced outside of the Covered Countries were not able to be validated by Deckers. Consequently, Deckers has filed a Conflict Minerals Report, attached as Exhibit 1.01 hereto, as required by the Rule.
Item 1.02 - Exhibit
A copy of the Company’s Conflict Minerals Report is provided as Exhibit 1.01 hereto and is publicly available on our website at www.deckers.com (Investor Information - Corporate Governance).
