the reporting period, the only conflict mineral necessary to the functionality or production of products that it manufactures or contracts
to be manufactured was tin. In the processing of solar modules, Canadian Solar uses copper strip which is coated with tin. In addition,
solder used in junction boxes and for other purposes contains tin. Canadian Solar has made inquiries with all its suppliers of tin-containing
products about the source of the tin used in their products and further requested that these suppliers provide a confirmation statement
on the origin of the tin contained in their products to determine whether further procedures and inquiries were necessary. Canadian Solar
does not make purchases of raw ore or unrefined conflict minerals and makes no purchases in the Democratic Republic of the Congo or adjoining
countries.</P>
