(&#8220;Orthofix&#8221; also referred to as &#8220;we,&#8221; &#8220;us,&#8221; or &#8220;our&#8221;) has been prepared for the reporting period from January&#160;1, 2017 to December&#160;31, 2017 (the &#8220;Reporting Period&#8221;), pursuant to Rule 13p-1 (the &#8220;Rule&#8221;) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended and is being filed on Form SD. The Rule was adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (&#8220;SEC&#8221;) to implement reporting and disclosure requirements applicable to companies that manufacture or contract to manufacture products containing certain conflict minerals as defined under the Rule.</p>
<p style="Background-color:#FFFFFF;margin-top:6pt;margin-bottom:0pt;text-indent:0%;color:#000000;font-family:Calibri;font-size:10pt;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;text-transform:none;font-variant: normal;">Conflict minerals under the Rule are defined as cassiterite, columbite-tantalite, wolframite and gold, including their derivatives, which are limited to tin, tantalum and tungsten (&#8220;Conflict Minerals&#8221; or &#8220;3TG&#8221;). The SEC reporting and disclosure requirements apply to all registrants regardless of geographic origin and whether or not they fund armed conflict. As described below, Orthofix manufactures, or contracts to manufacture, products for which 3TG are necessary to the functionality or production of those products.</p>

For the purposes of this report, covered countries, as defined in the Rule include the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the Republic of the Congo, the Central African Republic, South Sudan, Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, Tanzania, Zambia and Angola. </p>

As a company in the medical device industry we do not make purchases of raw ore or unrefined 3TG, nor do we make purchases directly from the covered countries. As such, our position in the supply chain is several steps downstream from mines and smelters. Therefore, we must rely on our direct suppliers to provide information on the origin of the 3TG contained in the components and parts supplied to us &#8211; including sources of 3TG that are supplied to them from their suppliers. Further, many of our suppliers are not SEC registrants and therefore are not subject to the reporting requirements of the Rule. The quality of response and response rate from our suppliers relating to origin of custody of the necessary conflict minerals in our products has improved during the Reporting Period. </font><font style="color:#000000;">We intend to continue our due diligence efforts regarding the source and custody of the necessary conflict minerals in our products. </font></p>

In determining which suppliers to survey to determine the source and chain of custody of 3TG in our products, our supply chain, engineering and operation personnel use product control data to identify parts, materials and components that we reasonably expect may contain 3TG minerals.&nbsp;&nbsp;We send a cover letter to suppliers identified as possibly providing materials containing 3TG that explains our obligations under the Rule and the Conflict-Free Sourcing Initiative&#8217;s (&#8220;CFSI&#8221;) Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (the &#8220;CMRT&#8221;), which asks them for certain information.&nbsp;&nbsp;We review and analyze the information received for completeness and consistency.&nbsp;&nbsp;Where appropriate, we ask suppliers for any clarification in determining the country of origin of 3TG being supplied</font><font style="Background-color:#FFFFFF;">. Further, we have historically eliminated certain suppliers from our approved vendor list for failure to show reasonable effort or improvement in their reporting data.</font></p>

As part of our due diligence procedures in 2017, our </font><font style="Background-color:#FFFFFF;color:#000000;">3TG Project Team further analyzed our approved vendor list with increased scrutiny and again requested completed CMRTs from these suppliers for the Reporting Period. </font><font style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:10pt;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;text-transform:none;font-variant: normal;">We must rely on responses from our identified suppliers to provide us with information about the source of 3TG contained in the components supplied to us. Our direct suppliers are similarly reliant upon information provided by their suppliers.</font></p>
<p style="margin-top:6pt;margin-bottom:0pt;text-indent:0%;font-family:Calibri;font-size:10pt;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;text-transform:none;font-variant: normal;">We received responses from the majority of our suppliers indicating they did not knowingly source 3TG from the covered countries. The remaining suppliers either were still in the process of performing due diligence of their own supply chains or did not respond to repeated requests for information on the source of 3TG in the materials provided to us.&nbsp;&nbsp;For suppliers still in the process of performing and implementing due diligence procedures for their own suppliers, they are expected to develop, implement and document plans to remedy any potential instances of non-compliance in a timely manner. If the non-compliance cannot be resolved, we will consider terminating our relationship with the supplier.</p>
<p style="margin-top:6pt;margin-bottom:0pt;text-indent:0%;font-family:Calibri;font-size:10pt;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;text-transform:none;font-variant: normal;">Some suppliers responded that they were currently unable to identify the smelters and refiners used to process 3TG or the country of origin of the 3TG in their supply chain.&nbsp;&nbsp;Other suppliers provided information on all of their smelters and refiners and country of origin of 3TG for all products they supply, which does not provide us with the necessary information to match the smelter or refiner or country of origin to the specific products supplied to Orthofix, despite repeated attempts to obtain such information.&nbsp;&nbsp;Accordingly, for this Reporting Period, we do not know all the facilities used to process 3TG or the country of origin of all the 3TG used to produce our manufactured products.</p>
