CONFLICT MINERALS DISCLOSURE AND REPORT
|
Lindsay Corporation (the “Company”), after exercising reasonable
due diligence as required by Rule 13p-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended, was unable to determine whether the tin,
tantalum, tungsten and/or gold (“3TG”) used in one or more of its
products, where 3TG are necessary to the functionality or
production of such product(s), originated from the Democratic
Republic of the Congo (the “DRC”) or an adjoining country that
shares an internationally recognized border with the DRC.
Accordingly, the Company declares itself to be “DRC conflict
undeterminable” as defined by paragraph (d)(5) of the instructions
to Item 1.01 of Form SD for all products manufactured and/or
contracted to be manufactured for the Company.
