which certain &#147;conflict minerals&#148; (as defined below) are necessary to the functionality or production of such products. Form SD defines &#147;<B><I>conflict minerals</I></B>&#148; as: (i)(a) columbite-tantalite (or coltan, the metal ore
from which tantalum is extracted), (b)&nbsp;cassiterite (the metal ore from which tin is extracted), (c)&nbsp;gold and (d)&nbsp;wolframite (the metal ore from which tungsten is extracted), or their derivatives, which are currently limited to
tantalum, tin and tungsten; or (ii)&nbsp;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 or an &#147;adjoining country,&#148; as such term is defined in

and development (&#147;<B><I>R&amp;D</I></B>&#148;) departments from each of the Company&#146;s reporting segments, as well as attorneys from the Company&#146;s law department, engaged in communications to determine whether the disclosure
requirements of Rule 13p-1 would continue to apply to the Company. As part of that process, attorneys from our law department reviewed with other members of management the SEC&#146;s final rules implementing the conflict minerals disclosure required
by Rule 13p-1 and Form SD. The procurement and R&amp;D managers for each of the Company&#146;s reporting segments conducted a comprehensive review of the compositions and formulations for all of the products manufactured by their particular segment,
under the guidance of attorneys from the Company&#146;s law department, to determine whether any conflict minerals are necessary to the functionality or production of a product that segment manufactured or contracted to manufacture during the
Reporting Period. The Company has concluded that our operations manufacture, or contract to manufacture, certain products (e.g., certain polyvinyl chloride-based compound products and building products) for which tin, a conflict mineral, may be
necessary to the functionality or production of those products (collectively, our &#147;<B><I>Products</I></B>&#148;), and as such, the Company should conduct a reasonable country of origin inquiry (&#147;<B><I>RCOI</I></B>&#148;) with respect to

included in our Products during the Reporting Period, which we refer to as the &#147;<B><I>Subject Mineral</I></B><I>,</I>&#148; to determine whether the Subject Mineral originated in the Covered Countries. The results of our RCOI regarding the
Subject Mineral are publicly available on our web site at www.axiall.com. The content on any web site referred to in this Form SD is not incorporated by reference into this Form SD unless expressly noted. </P>

intermediates from those same third-party suppliers, which were formerly used by one of the Company&#146;s divisions to internally produce certain tin stabilizers. Because the Company does not purchase the Subject Mineral directly from mines,
smelters or refiners, there are several third parties in the supply chain between the Company and the original sources of the Subject Mineral. As a result, the Company has relied on its direct suppliers to provide information regarding the origin of
the Subject Mineral included in its Products. In accordance with certain portions of the framework in the <I>Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chain of Minerals from
Conflict-Affected and High Risk Areas: Second Edition</I>, including the related supplement on tin, and related guidance provided by the SEC, the Company works with its direct suppliers to identify, where possible, which of those smelters and

Company&#146;s Covered Suppliers have identified all of the global smelters from whom the Covered Suppliers source the Subject Mineral, and many of those smelters have completed audits related to the EICC-GeSI Conflict Free Smelter Initiative, the
Covered Suppliers were unable to accurately report the identities of the smelters that were part of the supply chain for the Subject Mineral. Specifically, the Covered Suppliers reported their sourcing results on a company-wide basis, rather than on
a product-specific basis. A Covered Supplier&#146;s failure to identify a specific facility/smelter and/or country of origin for conflict minerals supplied to the Company will drive an equivalent response for the Company and, therefore, the Company
is unable to report any known facilities/smelters and/or countries of origin for the Subject Mineral at this time. The Company expects to continue to implement and refine its conflict minerals program to improve its supply chain transparency by
