Section 1                      Conflict Minerals Disclosures

Item 1.01                      Conflict Minerals Disclosure and Report

This Specialized Disclosure Report on Form SD (the “Report”) is intended to satisfy the filing obligations of Twin Disc, Incorporated (the “Company”) pursuant to Rule 13p-1 (the “Rule”) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 for the full calendar year of 2014.  Terms not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in Form SD and the Conflict Minerals Final Rule (SEC Release No. 34-67716, August 22, 2012).

The Company first determined that Conflict Minerals are necessary to the functionality or production of a product manufactured by the Company or contracted to be manufactured by the Company. Although the Company does not itself intentionally add Conflict Minerals to the products that it manufactures, it concluded that certain components of products it receives from suppliers that are incorporated into products it manufactures likely contain Conflict Minerals that are necessary to functionality or production of the Company’s products.

 

Accordingly, the Company performed a good faith reasonable country of origin inquiry (“RCOI”) to determine whether the necessary Conflict Minerals originated in the Democratic Republic of the Congo or an adjoining country (the “Conflict Region”) or were from recycled or scrap sources.  In reviewing the results from its RCOI, the Company has reason to believe that certain of its necessary Conflict Minerals originated, or may have originated, in the Conflict Region and are not from recycled or scrap sources. These Conflict Minerals were subject to the exercise of due diligence by the Company as described in the Conflict Minerals Report attached as an exhibit hereto.

Item 1.02                      Exhibit

The Company has filed, as an exhibit to this Form SD, the Conflict Minerals Report for the year ended December 31, 2014 as required by Item 1.01 and 1.02 of this Form.
