Section 1 – Conflict Minerals Disclosure

 

Precision Therapeutics Inc. (“Precision”, “we”, “our” or the “Company”) has evaluated its current product lines and determined that certain products we manufacture contain tin, tungsten, tantalum and/or gold (3TG), which are defined as “conflict minerals” by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission that are necessary to the functionality or production of our products. Accordingly, we are filing this disclosure along with a Conflict Minerals Report to disclose the measures we have taken to determine the origin of the conflict minerals used in our products.

 

Item 1.01 Conflict Minerals Disclosure

 

We undertook due diligence measures, including surveying our direct suppliers to try to determine the sources of these minerals, which we purchase through a complex supply chain.

 

We currently still have 30% of our suppliers who are not able to identify the mineral sources’ originating country. Therefore, we cannot exclude the possibility that some of these conflict minerals may have originated in the Democratic Republic of the Congo or an adjoining country and are not from recycled or scrap sources.
