Rule 13p-1 under the Securities Exchange Act (17 CFR 240.13p-1) for the reporting period from January 1 to December 31, 2016.
Section 1 - Conflict Minerals Disclosure
Item 1.01 Conflict Minerals Disclosure and Report
Xplore Technologies Corp. (the “Company”) is engaged in the development, integration and marketing of rugged mobile personal computer systems. The Company uses contract manufacturers to manufacture its products and supporting components, and conflict minerals, as defined by paragraph (d)(3) of this item, are contained in the Company’s products, and are either necessary to its products functionality or necessary to its products’ production.
The Company has made an inquiry of each of its contract manufacturers to determine whether the necessary conflicts minerals contained in its products were “outside the supply chain” before December 31, 2016. The Company received assurances from its contract manufacturers, based upon available information sources from its raw material suppliers, that it does not intentionally or knowingly originate conflict minerals from the Democratic Republic of Congo or an adjoining country for the Company’s products produced by that contract manufacturer.
Although the Company has no reason to believe that the conflict minerals included in its products originated in the Democratic Republic of Congo or an adjoining country, at this time, the Company has designated its products as “DRC conflict undeterminable.” The Company will continue to work with its contract manufacturers to determine whether any of the conflict minerals included in its products originated in the Democratic Republic of Congo or an adjoining country, and to mitigate the risk that any such conflict materials originate in such countries or benefit armed groups.
