Spartan Motors, Inc.

Conflict Minerals Report

For the Year Ended December 31, 2014

 

This report for the calendar year ended December 31, 2014, is presented to pursuant to Rule 13p-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Rule"). The Rule was adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") to implement reporting and disclosure requirements related to conflict minerals as directed by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 ("Dodd-Frank Act"). The Rule imposes certain reporting obligations on SEC registrants whose manufactured products contain tantalum, tin, tungsten or gold, which are necessary to the functionality or production of their products. The term "Conflict Minerals" is defined as columbite-tantalite (coltan), cassiterite, gold, wolframite, tantalum, tin, tungsten, and 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 (DRC) or an adjoining country. The term "3TG" is defined as tantalum, tin, tungsten and gold and their compounds.

 

If a registrant can establish that the 3TG in their supply chain originated from sources other than the Democratic Republic of the Congo or an adjoining country, as defined by the SEC (the "Covered Countries"), or from recycled and scrap sources, they must submit a Form SD which describes the Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry ("RCOI") that the registrant completed.

 

If a registrant has reason to believe that any of the 3TG in their supply chain may have originated in the Covered Countries, or if they are unable to determine the country of origin of those conflict minerals, then the issuer must exercise due diligence on the conflict minerals' source and chain of custody. The registrant must annually submit a Conflict Minerals Report ("CMR") to the SEC that includes a description of those due diligence measures.

 

We are filing this CMR because, after completing a RCOI and due diligence, the Company is unable to conclude whether any of the conflict minerals contained in Company products originated in the Covered Countries.

 

Company Overview

Spartan Motors, Inc. was organized as a Michigan corporation on September 18, 1975, and is headquartered in Charlotte, Michigan. We began development of our first product that same year and shipped our first fire truck chassis in October 1975.

 

We are known as a leading, niche market engineer and manufacturer in the heavy-duty, custom vehicles marketplace. We have four wholly owned operating subsidiaries: Spartan Motors Chassis, Inc., located at the corporate headquarters in Charlotte, Michigan (“Spartan Chassis”); Spartan Motors USA, Inc., located in Brandon, South Dakota (“Spartan USA”, formerly known as Crimson Fire, Inc.); Crimson Fire Aerials, Inc., located in Ephrata, Pennsylvania (“Crimson Aerials”); and Utilimaster Corporation, located in Wakarusa and Bristol, Indiana (“Utilimaster”). Effective December 31, 2014, we dissolved our Classic Fire, LLC (“Classic Fire”) subsidiary and are in the process of relocating its operations to our manufacturing facilities in Charlotte, Michigan and Brandon, South Dakota. At December 31, 2014, we were also a participant in a joint venture, Spartan-Gimaex Innovations, LLC (“Spartan-Gimaex”), with Gimaex Holding, Inc.

 

Spartan Chassis is a leading designer, engineer and manufacturer of custom heavy-duty chassis. The chassis consist of a frame assembly, engine, transmission, electrical system, running gear (wheels, tires, axles, suspension and brakes) and, for fire trucks and some specialty chassis applications, a cab. Spartan Chassis customers are original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”) who complete their heavy-duty vehicle product by mounting the body or apparatus on our chassis. Spartan USA engineers and manufactures fire trucks built on chassis platforms purchased from either Spartan Chassis or outside sources. Crimson Aerials engineers and manufactures aerial ladder components for fire trucks. Utilimaster is a leading manufacturer of specialty vehicles made to customer specifications in the delivery and service market, including walk-in vans and hi-cube vans, as well as truck bodies. Spartan-Gimaex is a 50/50 joint venture that was formed to provide emergency response vehicles for the domestic and international markets. In February, 2015 Spartan USA and Gimaex Holding, Inc. mutually agreed to begin discussions regarding the dissolution of the joint venture. The dissolution is expected to become effective in the second quarter of 2015.

 

Conflict Minerals Policy

Spartan Motors and its subsidiaries endeavor to maintain the highest standards of ethical conduct and integrity in all areas of their business activities.

 

On August 22, 2012, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission adopted final rules to implement reporting and disclosure requirements related to "conflict minerals," as directed by the Dodd-Frank .

 

 
 

 

 

We are committed to working closely with our supply chain to ensure we fully comply with the requirements set forth in Section 1502 of the Dodd-Frank Act. We have implemented the OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas, and are utilizing the conflict minerals reporting template (CMRT) owned by the Conflict Free Sourcing Initiative (CFSI), for exercising due diligence within our supply chain.

 

We do not knowingly source any product containing Conflict Minerals and we continue work on our due diligence process in order to verify that the components we source do not contain Conflict Minerals. We have requested that our suppliers commit to responsible sourcing of 3TG used in the production of components supplied to us. We expect our suppliers to have in place policies and due diligence measures that will enable us to reasonably assure that products and components supplied to us containing 3TG are DRC conflict free. Our suppliers will be requested to perform due diligence to determine the source of any 3TG that are contained in the components that they supply to us. Our suppliers due diligence must include, where applicable, completion of the EICC/GeSI Conflict Minerals reporting CMRT.

 

Our conflict minerals policy is posted on our website at www.spartanmotors.com

 

RCOI & Due Diligence

Our due diligence measures have been designed to conform with the framework in The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development ("OECD") Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas and the related Supplements for Gold and for Tin, Tantalum and Tungsten ("OECD Guidance").

 

Supply Chain

We rely on our direct suppliers to provide information on the origin of the 3TG contained in components and materials supplied to us, including sources of 3TG that are supplied to them from lower tier suppliers. We have requested that our suppliers commit to responsible sourcing of conflict minerals used in the production of components supplied to us. Our suppliers have been requested to perform due diligence to determine the source of any conflict minerals that are contained in the components that they supply to us. Our suppliers' due diligence must include, where applicable, completion of the Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (CMRT). The CMRT was developed to facilitate disclosure and communication of information regarding smelters that provide material to a company's supply chain. It includes questions regarding a company's conflict-free policy, engagement with its direct suppliers, and a listing of the smelters the company and its suppliers use. In addition, the CMRT contains questions about the origin of conflict minerals included in their products, as well as supplier due diligence. Written instructions and recorded training illustrating the use of the tool is available on CFSI's website.

 

For the 2014 reporting year, all of our relevant suppliers were asked to complete the CMRT. This is a requirement set forth in all of our supplier contract agreements. Going forward, we currently expect we will only disseminate the CMRT to those suppliers who supply components likely to contain 3TG. We believe this approach is reasonable in light of the nature and number of our suppliers, as well as industry standards and practices of peer companies.

 

Due Diligence Process

We reviewed the components that are included in the specialty vehicles and chassis that we manufacture that could contain 3TG that is necessary to the functionality or production of our products.

 

Our due diligence measures have been designed to conform with the framework in The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development ("OECD") Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas ("OECD Guidance") and the related Supplements for Gold and for Tin, Tantalum and Tungsten.

 

 

Step One: Establish Strong Company Management Systems

 

Internal Team

At our corporate level, we have a cross functional team and a third-party consulting subject matter expert working collaboratively to develop our program. This team is responsible for the corporate conflict minerals policy and providing support and instructions on the due diligence measures required to be implemented for each of our divisions.

 

 
 

 

 

Supplier Engagement

With respect to the OECD requirement to strengthen engagement with suppliers, we have continued with our training program for our suppliers for the 2014 reporting year. It was found that many suppliers in 2013 were not aware of or did not understand the Dodd-Frank 1502 requirements. As a result of this finding, we developed an instructional document that was provided to all of our suppliers by the second quarter of 2014. We will encourage our suppliers to share this information throughout the whole supply chain, all the way to the smelter level. Suppliers will continue to receive education and support from our business unit champions during the RCOI process on an annual basis.

 

Additionally Spartan Motors has developed a robust supplier management plan for Conflict Minerals. Spartan Motors has developed systems for new suppliers as well as existing suppliers. For existing suppliers the quality manual was updated to include the requirements that suppliers must comply with conflict minerals reporting. Internal supplier management processes were also updated to ensure supplier conformance and communication for conflict Minerals. As part of the supplier approval process, new suppliers must first provide a completed CMRT prior to being approved as a Spartan Motors supplier. Suppliers are also evaluated monthly for conformance to the conflict minerals requirements.

 

Spartan Motors also provides explicit instructions as well as education materials for suppliers on an annual basis to assist them with their conflict minerals reporting compliance. Compliance with all the criteria is dictated in the contracts for all Spartan Motors suppliers.

 

Grievance Mechanism

Our website (www.Spartanmotors.com) contains a prominent link to our conflict minerals policy page. Included with our conflict minerals policy on our website is a link that can be utilized to contact our Compliance Officer with concerns regarding our conflict minerals policy or our use of conflict minerals. It is the policy of Spartan Motors that any communications regarding our Code of Business Conduct and Compliance or Conflict Minerals received by our Chief Compliance Officer is submitted for review to our Board of Directors.

 

Step Two: Identify and Assess Risk in the Supply Chain

 

All of our relevant suppliers were identified for inclusion in our 2014 RCOI. We rely on these suppliers, whose components we believe may contain 3TG, to provide us with information about the source of Conflict Minerals, if any, contained in the components supplied to us. Our direct suppliers are similarly reliant upon information provided by their suppliers.

 

We will assess risk by reviewing the suppliers' answers provided in the CMRT for risk indicators. These risk indicators are based on common industry practices. When risk indicators are found, corrective action measures will be required of the supplier(s).

 

Step Three: Design and Implement a Strategy to Respond to Risks

 

To ensure consistency and data integrity, suppliers were mandated to provide a CMRT for this reporting year. In the previous year multiple formats were accepted.

 

Supplier CMRTs are evaluated against a set list of data quality standards. Any discrepancies identified are logged in an online tool and sent back to the supplier for further investigation and corrective action.

 

Step Four: Carry Out Independent Third Party Audit of Supply Chain Due Diligence at Identified Points in the Supply Chain

 

We do not typically have a direct relationship with 3TG smelters and refiners and do not perform or direct audits of these entities within our supply chain. We do track all smelters that have been audited via the Conflict Free Sourcing Initiative ("CFSI").

 

Step Five: Report on Supply Chain Due Diligence

 

We conducted a survey of those suppliers described above using the CMRT. The CMRT was developed to facilitate disclosure and communication of information regarding smelters that provide material to a company's supply chain. It includes questions regarding a company's conflict-free policy, engagement with its direct suppliers, and a listing of the smelters the company and its suppliers use. In addition, the CMRT contains questions about the origin of 3TG included in their products, as well as supplier due diligence. Written instructions and recorded training illustrating the use of the tool is available on CFSI's website. The CMRT is being used by many companies in their due diligence processes related to conflict minerals.

 

 
 

 

 

The number of supplier responses has decreased from the last reporting year due to the data quality standards Spartan Motors implemented which eliminated all other reporting formats other than the CMRT and held suppliers to a much higher standard for data quality. It is Spartan Motors goal to continue to work with the suppliers to educate them on all the requirements so that Spartan Motors can have a 100% response rate. For this reporting year Spartan received responses from 18 percent of all the suppliers surveyed. The data collected included the names of 501 entities listed by our suppliers as smelters or refiners. 95 of these entities were identified as certified Conflict-Free using the CFSI Reporting CMRT. We compared these facilities to the CFSI list of smelters and where a supplier indicated that the facility was certified as Conflict-Free, we ensured that the name was listed by CFSI. The large majority of the responses received provided data at a company or divisional level or, as described above, were unable to specify the smelters or refiners used. With the exception of the supplier(s) described above, we are unable to determine whether any of the 3TG reported by the suppliers were contained in components or parts supplied to us or to validate that any of these smelters or refiners are actually in our supply chain. Requesting that our suppliers complete the CMRT regarding information about 3TG smelters and refiners in our supply chain represents the most reasonable effort we can make to determine the mines or locations of origin of the 3TG in our supply chain.

 

As a result of our due diligence efforts, we have concluded in good faith that we do not have sufficient data to determine where the 3TG in our products originate. We are committed to this process and will continue to implement and improve our conflict minerals due diligence program.

 

Based on the information obtained pursuant to our RCOI and the due diligence process, we do not have sufficient information to determine the country of origin of all of the 3TG used in our products; however, based on the information that was provided by the responding suppliers and otherwise obtained through our due diligence process, we believe that, to the extent reasonably determinable, the facilities that were used to process the 3TG contained in our products included the smelters and refiners listed below:

Our efforts to determine the mine or location of origin of the 3TG used in our products consisted of the due diligence measures described in this report. In particular, because independent third party audit programs validate whether sufficient evidence exists regarding country, mine and/or location of origin of the 3TG that the audited smelter or refiner facilities have processed, we relied on the information made available by such programs for the smelters and refiners in our supply chain. We were unable to ascertain the country of origin and/or chain of custody of all necessary 3TG processed by these facilities because, for this reporting period, certain smelter and refiner facilities (1) had not yet received a "conflict free" designation from an independent third party audit program and (2) did not respond to our requests for country of origin or chain of custody information.

 

Planned Steps to Improve Due Diligence

 

We intend to take the following steps to improve our due diligence program:

 

1.

Continue to work with suppliers to collect a complete list of smelters within Spartan Motor’s supply chain

 

2.

Provide education to suppliers annually

 

3.

Continue to implement and improve our supplier engagement program
