Wolverine&#8217;s licensees directly control the balance, and the products of Wolverine&#8217;s licensees are not in-scope for purposes of Wolverine&#8217;s compliance with the Conflict Minerals Rule. A substantial majority of the units sourced or manufactured by Wolverine are procured from third parties, who contract to manufacture these products for Wolverine. Wolverine sources a substantial majority of its footwear from numerous third-party manufacturers in Asia Pacific. A substantial majority of the products sold by Wolverine either do not contain 3TG or such 3TG are not necessary to the functionality or production of the products. Wolverine&#8217;s In-scope Products contain only necessary tin, which is present in certain alloys that are part of minor components of our footwear and apparel products. The In-scope Products do not contain necessary gold, tungsten or tantalum.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:11pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:11pt;">Wolverine and its third-party manufacturers purchase raw materials and component parts from a variety of sources.  Wolverine is several levels removed from the actual mining of any 3TG, and Wolverine does not make purchases of raw ore or 3TG directly from mines, smelters or refiners. However, through the efforts described in this Conflict Minerals Report, and as part of our reasonable country of origin inquiry and due diligence processes, Wolverine seeks to ensure that our suppliers source responsibly. Specifically, Wolverine endeavors in good faith to determine if any of the 3TG necessary to the functionality or production of the products that we contract to manufacture originated in the Democratic Republic of the Congo or an adjoining country (collectively, the &#8220;Covered Countries&#8221;), and, if so, whether they directly or indirectly financed or benefited an armed group. Wolverine does not seek to embargo the sourcing of 3TG from the Covered Countries.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:14px;padding-top:14px;text-align:justify;font-size:11pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:11pt;font-weight:bold;">Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry (RCOI) and RCOI Results </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:14px;text-align:justify;font-size:11pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:11pt;">Wolverine reviewed our products and components, and the role that suppliers play throughout the product development, commercialization and manufacturing processes. As required by the Conflict Minerals Rule, Wolverine then conducted a reasonable country of origin inquiry (&#8220;RCOI&#8221;) with respect to the necessary 3TG contained in our In-scope Products for 2018.  We contacted 244 Tier 1, Tier 2 and Tier 3 suppliers (including factories) that directly or indirectly provided finished products to Wolverine or components for finished products potentially containing 3TG in 2018. We utilized an internal online questionnaire based on the latest revision of the Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (&#8220;CMRT&#8221;), developed by the Conflict-Free Sourcing Initiative (&#8220;CFSI&#8221;), as the primary vehicle through which we conducted the RCOI with suppliers who provided components and products to Wolverine during 2018.   </font></div><div><br></div><div style="text-align:center;"><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">1</font></div></div><hr style="page-break-after:always"><div><br></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:14px;text-align:left;font-size:11pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:11pt;">For our RCOI, to the extent applicable, we utilized the same processes and procedures as for our due diligence, in particular the first two steps of the OECD Guidance (as defined below) design framework, which are described below in this Conflict Minerals Report.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:14px;text-align:justify;font-size:11pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:11pt;">Pursuant to the Conflict Minerals Rule, based on the results of Wolverine&#8217;s RCOI, we conducted due diligence for 2018.
