Item 1.01                             Conflict Minerals Disclosure and Report

DragonWave Inc. (“DragonWave”, “we”, “our” and “us”) is committed to sourcing components and materials from companies that share our values regarding respect for human rights, integrity and environmental responsibility.  DragonWave has developed methods to track the origin of metals used in our products and we are using our reasonable best efforts to ensure that we do not directly or indirectly support violence and human rights abuses in the DRC region.  We do not source directly from smelters of mines, and as a result we are working closely with our own suppliers to understand the sources of the metals contained in their products to assure conflict free metals in our supply chain.

Section 1502 of the Dodd Frank Financial Reform Act and U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s Final Regulation to Implement Section 1502 of the Dodd-Frank Act both require reporting entities to exercise due diligence regarding the origin and chain of custody of the conflict minerals contained in their manufactured products. If the due diligence inquiry determines that the conflict minerals originated in the covered countries (Angola, Burundi, Central Africa Republic, Rwanda, South Sudan, Tanzania, Uganda, and Zambia), the company is then obligated to determine whether the minerals financed or benefitted armed groups in the covered countries.

The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by our Conflict Minerals Report, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 1.01 and is incorporated by reference.

Item 1.02                             Exhibit

DragonWave has filed a conflict Minerals Report, which is attached as Exhibit 1.01 hereto and is publicly available at www.dragonwaveinc.com/conflict-minerals-policy.
