Conflict Minerals Disclosure
Items 1.01 and 1.02 Conflict Minerals Disclosure and Report; Exhibit
Richardson Electronics, Ltd. ("we",
"us",
"the
Company"
and
"our") is a leading global provider of engineered solutions, power grid and microwave tubes and related consumables; power conversion and RF and microwave components; high value flat panel detector solutions, replacement parts, tubes and service training for diagnostic imaging equipment; and customized display solutions. We serve customers in the alternative energy, healthcare, aviation, broadcast, communications, industrial, marine, medical, military, scientific and semiconductor markets. The Company’s strategy is to provide specialized technical expertise and “engineered solutions” based on our core engineering and manufacturing capabilities. The Company provides solutions and adds value through design-in support, systems integration, prototype design and manufacturing, testing, logistics, and aftermarket technical service and repair through its global infrastructure.
We
are
committed
to
being
a
responsible
corporate
citizen
and
are
opposed
to
human
rights
abuses
such
as
those
occurring
in
the
Democratic
Republic
of
the Congo
(the
"DRC").
We
also
take
seriously
our
compliance
obligations
under
Rule
l3p-l
under
the
Securities
Exchange
Act
of
1934,
as
amended,
and
Form
SD (collectively,
the
"Conflict
Minerals
Rule").
To
these
ends,
we
have
adopted
and
communicated
to
our
suppliers
and
the
public
a
company policy
statement
(the
"Conflict Minerals
Policy")
for
the
supply
chain
of
conflict
minerals.
As
used
herein
and
in
the
Conflict
Minerals
Policy,
"conflict
minerals"
are
columbite-tantalite
(coltan), cassiterite,
gold,
wolframite
and
their
derivatives
tantalum,
tin
and
tungsten,
without
regard
to
the
location
of
origin
of
the
minerals
or
derivative
metals.
The
Conflict Minerals
Policy
includes,
but
is
not
limited
to,
our
expectations
that
our
suppliers
share
our
philosophy
and
our
buying
from
conflict-free
sources.
As
a
distributor
and
manufacturer
of
electronic
components,
Richardson
Electronics,
Ltd.
does
not
condone
the
use
of
any
conflict
minerals
in
the
products
we supply.
Currently
most
manufacturers
cannot
provide
detailed
information
as
to
the
ultimate
source
of
the
minerals
used
in
manufacturing
electronic
components
because of
the
complex
and
fragmented
supply
chains
involved.
Similarly,
companies
like
Richardson
Electronics,
which
resell
products
manufactured
by
other
companies,
have virtually
no
visibility
into
the
source
of
the
minerals
used
by
the
manufacturers.
In
cases
where
we
buy
gold,
tin,
tantalum
or
tungsten
to
use
in
our
own
manufacturing,
we
are
working
with
our
suppliers
to
ensure
they
share
our
philosophy and
are
buying
from
conflict-free
sources.
We
are
committed
to
taking
proactive
measures
to
ensure
that
products
and
raw
materials
we
receive
from
our
suppliers
are responsibly
sourced.
Conflict Minerals Disclosure
As
required
by
the
Conflict
Minerals
Rule,
a
Conflict
Minerals
Report
is
provided
as
an
Exhibit
to
this
Form
SD
and
is
available
at
the
following
Internet website:
http://www.rell.com.
The
information
contained
on
our
website
is
not
incorporated
by
reference
into
this
Form
SD
or
our
Conflict
Minerals
Report
and
should not
be
considered
part
of
this
report
or
the
Conflict
Minerals
Report.
To
comply
with
the
final
Conflict
Minerals
Rules,
we
conducted
due
diligence
on
the
source
and
chain
of
custody
of
the
conflict
minerals
that
were
necessary
to the
functionality
or
production
of
the
products
that
we
manufactured to
determine
whether
these
conflict
minerals
originated
in
the
Democratic
Republic
of
the
Congo
or an
adjoining
country
(collectively,
"Covered
Countries")
and
financed
or
benefited
armed
groups
in
any
of
these
countries.
Pursuant
to
SEC
guidance
issued
April
29,
2014,
and
the
SEC
order
issued
May
2,
2014,
the
Company
is
not
required
to
describe
any
of
its
products
as
"DRC conflict
free"
or
"DRC
conflict
undeterminable"
or
"having
not
been
found
to
be
DRC
conflict
free,"
and
therefore
makes
no
conclusion
in
this
regard
in
the
report presented
herein.
Furthermore,
given
that
the
Company
has
not
voluntarily
elected
to
describe
any
of
its
products
as
"DRC
conflict
free,"
an
independent
audit
of
the report
presented
has
not
been
conducted.
