Section 1 — Conflict Minerals Disclosure

 

Item 1.01 Conflict Minerals Disclosure and Report

 

Conflict Minerals Disclosure

 

Joe’s Jeans Inc.’s and its wholly owned subsidiary, Hudson Clothing, LLC, (collectively, the “Company” and/or “Joe’s” or “Hudson,” respectively) principal business activity is the design, development and worldwide marketing of apparel products.  Joe’s product line includes denim jeans, pants, shorts, dresses, skirts, shirts, sweaters, jackets and other apparel products and accessories.  Hudson’s product line includes denim jeans, shorts, skirts, shirts and jackets.  Following a review of products, the Company identified that certain products that it contracted to be manufactured in calendar year 2014 may contain trace amounts of tin or gold used for ornamental or decorative purposes, but based on discussions with and representation made by the relevant suppliers, the Company reasonably determined that such products did not have any gold, tin, tantalum, or tungsten (“Conflict Minerals”) that were necessary to their functionality or production.

 

Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry

 

The Company has conducted and continues to conduct a good faith inquiry reasonably designed to determine whether any Conflict Minerals contained in the Company’s products originated in the Democratic Republic of Congo or an adjoining country (“Covered Countries”) or came from recycled or scrap sources.  This inquiry includes obtaining from the Company’s nominated suppliers of products that may contain Conflict Minerals, certifications that the supplier had no reason to believe that such Conflict Minerals came from the Covered Countries or did not come from recycled or scrap sources.

 

On the basis of this inquiry and the responses received from suppliers, the Company currently has no reason to believe that Conflict Minerals contained in these products originated in the Covered Countries or did not come from recycled or scrap sources.
