Conflict Minerals Report
For the Year Ended December 31, 2021
This report for the calendar year ended December 31, 2021, is presented pursuant to Rule 13p-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Rule"). The Rule was adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") to implement reporting and disclosure requirements related to conflict minerals as directed by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 ("Dodd-Frank Act"). The Rule imposes certain reporting obligations on SEC registrants whose manufactured products contain tantalum, tin, tungsten or gold, which are necessary to the functionality or production of their products. The term "Conflict Minerals" is defined as columbite-tantalite (coltan), cassiterite, gold, wolframite, tantalum, tin, tungsten, and any other mineral or its derivatives determined by the U.S. Secretary of State to be financing conflict in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) or an adjoining country. The term "3TG" is defined as tantalum, tin, tungsten and gold and their compounds.
If a registrant can establish that the 3TG in their supply chain originated from sources other than the Democratic Republic of the Congo or an adjoining country, as defined by the SEC (the "Covered Countries"), or from recycled and scrap sources, they must submit a Form SD which describes the Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry ("RCOI") that the registrant completed.
If a registrant has reason to believe that any of the 3TG in their supply chain may have originated in the Covered Countries, or if they are unable to determine the country of origin of those conflict minerals, then the issuer must exercise due diligence on the conflict minerals' source and chain of custody. The registrant must annually submit a Conflict Minerals Report ("CMR") to the SEC that includes a description of those due diligence measures.
Company Overview
We are a niche market leader in specialty vehicle manufacturing and assembly for the commercial vehicle (including last-mile delivery, specialty service and vocation-specific upfit segments) and recreational vehicle industries. Our products include walk-in vans and truck bodies used in e-commerce/parcel delivery, upfit equipment used in the mobile retail and utility trades, luxury Class A diesel motor home chassis and contract manufacturing and assembly services. We also supply replacement parts and offer repair, maintenance, field service and refurbishment services for the vehicles that we manufacture as well as truck accessories. Our operating activities are conducted through our wholly-owned operating subsidiaries, including The Shyft Group USA, Inc., with locations in Michigan, Indiana, Maine, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Florida, Missouri, California, Arizona, Texas, and Mexico.
Conflict Minerals Policy
The Shyft Group and its subsidiaries endeavor to maintain the highest standards of ethical conduct and integrity in all areas of their business activities.
On August 22, 2012, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission adopted final rules to implement reporting and disclosure requirements related to "conflict minerals," as directed by the Dodd-Frank Act.
We are committed to working closely with our supply chain to ensure we fully comply with the requirements set forth in Section 1502 of the Dodd-Frank Act. We have implemented the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas and are utilizing the conflict minerals reporting template (CMRT) owned by the Responsible Minerals Initiative (RMI), for exercising due diligence within our supply chain.
We do not knowingly source any product containing Conflict Minerals and we continue to work on our due diligence process to verify that the components we source do not contain Conflict Minerals. We have requested that our suppliers commit to responsible sourcing of 3TG used in the production of components supplied to us. We expect our suppliers to have in place policies and due diligence measures that will enable us to reasonably assure that products and components supplied to us containing 3TG are DRC conflict free. Our suppliers are requested to perform due diligence to determine the source of any 3TG that are contained in the components that they supply to us. Our suppliers’ due diligence must include, where applicable, completion of the RMI Conflict Minerals reporting CMRT.
Our Conflict Minerals policy is posted on our website at http://www.theshyftgroup.com/about-us/supplier-info/.
RCOI & Due Diligence
Our due diligence measures have been designed to conform with the OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas and the related Supplements for Gold and for Tin, Tantalum and Tungsten ("OECD Guidance").
Supply Chain
We rely on our direct suppliers to provide information on the origin of 3TG contained in components and materials supplied to us, including sources of 3TG that are supplied to them from lower tier suppliers. We have requested that our suppliers commit to the responsible sourcing of Conflict Minerals used in the production of components supplied to us. Our suppliers have been requested to perform due diligence to determine the source of any Conflict Minerals that are contained in the components that they supply to us. Our suppliers' due diligence must include, where applicable, completion of the CMRT. The CMRT was developed to facilitate disclosure and communication of information regarding smelters that provide material to a company's supply chain. It includes questions regarding a company's conflict-free policy, engagement with its direct suppliers, and a listing of the smelters the company and its suppliers use. In addition, the CMRT contains questions about the origin of Conflict Minerals included in their products, as well as supplier due diligence. Written instructions and recorded training illustrating the use of the tool are available on RMI's website.
For the 2021 reporting year, all of our relevant suppliers were asked to complete the CMRT. This is a requirement set forth in all of our supplier contract agreements.
Due Diligence Process
We reviewed the components that are included in the products that we manufacture and supply that could contain 3TG that is necessary to the functionality or production of our products. Our due diligence measures have been designed to conform with the framework in the OECD Guidance.
Step One: Establish Strong Company Management Systems
Internal Team
At our corporate level, we have a cross functional team and a third-party consulting subject matter expert working collaboratively to administer our program. This team is responsible for the corporate Conflict Minerals policy and providing support and instructions on the due diligence measures required to be followed for each of our divisions.
Supplier Engagement
We have a robust supplier management plan for new and existing suppliers for Conflict Minerals. Existing suppliers must comply with the Shyft Group’s quality manual and Shyft Group Terms and Conditions which includes Conflict Minerals reporting requirements. Internal supplier management processes also ensure supplier conformance with Conflict Minerals reporting requirements with key suppliers who are party to long term agreements.
Grievance Mechanism
We maintain an ethics hotline accessible at www.theshyftgroup.com through which a party, including Shyft employees and suppliers, may submit reports or concerns regarding compliance, including with respect to Conflict Minerals.
Step Two: Identify and Assess Risk in the Supply Chain
All of our relevant suppliers were identified for inclusion in our 2021 RCOI. We rely on these suppliers, whose components we believe may contain 3TG, to provide us with information about the source of Conflict Minerals, if any, contained in the components supplied to us. Our direct suppliers are similarly reliant upon information provided by their suppliers.
We assess risk by reviewing the suppliers' answers provided in the CMRTs submitted for risk indicators. Risk indicators identified from the CMRT reports are then communicated back to our suppliers for awareness and continuous improvement for future Conflict Minerals reporting requirements.
Step Three: Design and Implement a Strategy to Respond to Risks
Relevant suppliers are mandated to provide a CMRT for each reporting year. Supplier CMRTs are evaluated against a set list of data quality standards. Any discrepancies identified are sent back to the supplier for further investigation and corrective action.
Step Four: Carry Out Independent Third-Party Audit of Supply Chain Due Diligence at Identified Points in the Supply Chain
We do not typically have a direct relationship with 3TG smelters and refiners and do not perform or direct audits of these entities within our supply chain. We do track all smelters that have been audited via the RMI.
Step Five: Report on Supply Chain Due Diligence
We conducted a survey of those suppliers described above using the CMRT. The CMRT was developed to facilitate disclosure and communication of information regarding smelters that provide material to a company's supply chain. It includes questions regarding a company's conflict-free policy, engagement with its direct suppliers, and a listing of the smelters the company and its suppliers use. In addition, the CMRT contains questions about the origin of 3TG included in their products, as well as supplier due diligence. Written instructions and recorded training illustrating the use of the tool is available on RMI's website. The CMRT is being used by many companies in their due diligence processes related to Conflict Minerals.
It is our goal to continue to work with our suppliers to educate them on Conflict Minerals requirements so that we can have a marked improvement in response rate. For the 2021 reporting year, we received responses from suppliers representing 60% of our material spend. The 2021 data collected included the names of 302 entities listed by our suppliers as smelters or refiners. 206 of these entities were identified as validated to be Conflict-Free by the RMI. We compared these facilities to the RMI list of smelters and where a supplier indicated that the facility was certified as Conflict-Free we ensured that the name was listed by RMI.
The large majority of the responses received provided data at a company or divisional level or were unable to specify the smelters or refiners used. We are unable to determine whether any of the 3TG reported by our suppliers was contained in components or parts supplied to us or to validate that any of these smelters or refiners are actually in our supply chain. Requesting that our suppliers complete the CMRT regarding information about 3TG smelters and refiners in our supply chain represents the most reasonable effort we can make to determine the mines or locations of origin of the 3TG in our supply chain.
We are committed to this process and will continue to implement and improve our Conflict Minerals due diligence program. Based on the information obtained pursuant to our RCOI and the due diligence process, we do not have sufficient information to determine the country of origin of the 3TG used in our products.
Based on the information that was provided by the responding suppliers and otherwise obtained through our due diligence process, below is the list of smelters and refiners that were provided by our supply chain. Since reporting was completed at a company level, we are not able to determine with certainty that these are used in our supply chain.

Our efforts to determine the mine or location of origin of the 3TG used in our products consisted of the due diligence measures described in this report. In particular, because independent third-party audit programs validate whether sufficient evidence exists regarding country, mine and/or location of origin of the 3TG that the audited smelter or refiner facilities have processed, we relied on the information made available by such programs for the smelters and refiners in our supply chain. We were unable to ascertain the country of origin and/or chain of custody of all necessary 3TG processed by these facilities for this reporting period.
