Section 1Conflict Minerals Disclosures
Item 1.01 Conflict Minerals Disclosure and Report
American Eagle Outfitters, Inc. (the Company) has determined that it contracts to manufacture certain products for which gold, tantalum, tin and
tungsten (3TG minerals) are necessary to functionality or production. The Company has conducted a reasonable country of origin inquiry (RCOI) and subsequent due diligence as required by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street
Reform and Consumer Protection Act.
Conflict Minerals Disclosure
In accordance with Rule 13p-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Rule
13p-1,) the Company has filed this Specialized Disclosure Form (Form SD) and the associated Conflict Minerals Report, and both reports are posted to a publicly available Internet site at https://www.aeo-inc.com/responsible-sourcing.
The Company engaged Assent Compliance to assist it in conducting its
RCOI and to assist with its due diligence efforts. To implement the RCOI, the Companys suppliers were engaged to collect information regarding the presence and sourcing of 3TG minerals used in the products supplied to the Company. This program
utilized the Responsible Business Alliance (RBA) and Global e-Sustainability Initiative (GeSI) Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (CMRT) version 6.22 or higher for data
collection. Information was collected and stored using an online platform provided by Assent Compliance.
The Company undertook a due diligence process
based on the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Developments (OECD) Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas and accompanying Supplements to determine the
source and chain of custody of the 3TG minerals used in its products. A more detailed description of the due diligence measures the Company took is provided in the Conflict Minerals Report attached hereto as Exhibit 1.01.
Based upon its RCOI and due diligence efforts, the Company has determined that its products could contain 3TG minerals that may have originated in the covered
countries. Despite having conducted a good faith RCOI and due diligence efforts, the Company has been unable to determine the origin of all of the 3TG minerals used in its products.
Item 1.02 Exhibits
The Companys Conflict
Minerals Report is attached hereto as Exhibit 1.01.
