Section 1 Conflict Minerals Disclosure
Item 1.01 Conflict Minerals Disclosure
(a) Quanex Building Products Corporation (Quanex or the Company) has manufactured or contracted to manufacture certain
products for which conflict minerals (as defined in Section 1502(e)(4) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act) are necessary to the functionality or production. Consequently, Quanex conducted, in good
faith, a reasonable country of origin inquiry that was reasonably designed to determine whether any of those conflict minerals originated in the Democratic Republic of the Congo or an adjoining country (collectively, the Covered
Countries), or whether any of those conflict minerals came from a scrap or recycled source.
(b) Quanex conducted a multi-step
reasonable country of origin inquiry. First, the Company required each of its suppliers to complete and sign a certification identifying whether the products, materials, or components the supplier sells or supplies to Quanex contain conflict
minerals. For those suppliers that indicated that their products, materials, or components contain Conflict Minerals, the Company then required them to complete a supply chain questionnaire using the Conflict Minerals Reporting Template
promulgated by the Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition and Global e-Sustainability initiative. In that questionnaire, suppliers were prompted to disclose information such as the name of the smelter used to process their conflict
minerals. The Company then thoroughly reviewed the questionnaire responses provided by suppliers to determine whether any conflict minerals may have originated in a Covered Country. The Company found that none of the suppliers
responses indicated that the conflict minerals originated in a Covered Country. Additionally, none of the suppliers responses indicated that the conflict minerals were processed by a smelter in a Covered Country. Finally, none of the
suppliers provided information indicating that the conflict minerals may have originated in a Covered Country. Based on this information, the Company has determined that it does not have reason to believe that any of its necessary conflict minerals
may have originated in a Covered Country.
The information disclosed in this Form SD may also be found on the Companys website at
www.quanex.com/conflictminerals.
