SECTION 1. CONFLICT MINERALS DISCLOSURE

 

Item 1.01. Conflict Minerals Disclosure and Report

 

Pursuant to Rule 13p-1 and Section 13(p) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which implements Section 1502 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Conflict Regulations”), Accelerate Diagnostics, Inc. (the “Company”) is required to make certain inquiries and perform certain due diligence with respect to any “conflict minerals” (as defined by paragraph (d)(3) of Item 1.01 of Form SD) that are necessary to the functionality or production of a product manufactured (or contracted to be manufactured) by the Company or any of its subsidiaries.

 

Conflict minerals are necessary to the functionality of certain of the Company’s products. As required in the Conflict Regulations, the Company has conducted a reasonable country of origin inquiry (“RCOI”) designed to determine whether any of the conflict minerals originated in the Democratic Republic of the Congo or an adjoining country or are from recycled or scrap sources. Based on its RCOI, the Company was unable to reasonably conclude that all of the conflict minerals contained in its products did not originate in the Democratic Republic of the Congo or an adjoining country or come from recycled or scrap sources. Therefore, the Company is required to exercise due diligence on the source and chain of custody of its conflict minerals in accordance with the Conflict Regulations and Form SD.
