Section 1 – Conflict Minerals Disclosure

Items 1.01 and 1.02 Conflict Minerals Disclosure and Report

EnSync, Inc. (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, “EnSync” or the “Company”) evaluated its current product lines and determined that certain products the Company contracts to manufacture contained tin, tungsten, tantalum and/or gold (the “Conflict Minerals”) and that these Conflict Minerals were necessary to the functionality or production of those products. As a result, EnSync conducted a reasonable country of origin inquiry reasonably designed to determine whether any of the Conflict Minerals contained in EnSync’s products originated in the Democratic Republic of the Congo or any adjoining country (the “Covered Countries”) or were from recycled or scrap sources. Based on this reasonable country of origin inquiry, the Company was unable to determine that none of the Conflict Minerals originated in the Covered Countries or did come from recycled or scrap sources. For this reason, EnSync has filed a Conflict Minerals Report as Exhibit 1.01 to this Form SD. A copy of the Conflict Minerals Report is publicly available at www.ensync.com.

Section 2 – Exhibits

Exhibit 1.01 – Conflict Minerals Report as required by Items 1.01 and 1.02 of this Form.
