Section 1 — Conflict Minerals Disclosure

Item 1.01 Conflict Minerals Disclosure and Report.

For the year ended December 31, 2020, based upon the results of its due diligence, FreightCar America, Inc. (“FreightCar”) determined that conflict minerals (as defined in Section 1502 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (the “Dodd-Frank Act”)) are necessary to the functionality or production of certain of the products that it manufactures or contracts to be manufactured and FreightCar is unable to determine the country of origin of conflict minerals in such products. Accordingly, FreightCar cannot exclude the possibility that some of its products may contain conflict minerals that may have originated in the Democratic Republic of the Congo or an adjoining country (as defined in Section 1502 of the Dodd-Frank Act). As a result, FreightCar is filing a Conflict Minerals Report for the year ended December 31, 2020 as Exhibit 1.01 to this Form SD.
