Supply Policy



Dear Customer,

On August 22nd, 2012 the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) published regulations implementing the conflict minerals reporting obligations of Section 1502 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer protection Act of 2010.

The regulations apply to companies required to report to the SEC. Such companies are required to determine whether tin, tungsten, tantalum and gold (3T&G) are necessary to the production or functionality of their products, and if so, to report to the SEC whether the 3T&G in their products (i) originated from sources in the Democratic Republic of the Congo or adjoining countries and (ii) directly or indirectly financed or benefited armed groups in those countries.

We refer to these as conflict sources. Tin, Tungsten, Tantalum & Gold are necessary to the functionality of AvMap products. AvMap does not purchase Tin, Tungsten, Tantalum & Gold directly from smelters or refiners (SORs).

We are aware about the complexity of this matter due to the extremely diffused presence of Tin, Tungsten, Tantalum & Gold (in particular in Electronics) and wide potential mineral sources both as smelters and refiners.

We are doing everything we can according with our program to comply with Conflict Mineral related regulations, working to assess the status of our supply chain and, if identified, to avoid the use of supplier materials from conflict related sources.

Simone Lazzarini Director AvMap S.r.l.
