Section 1 - Conflict Minerals Disclosure

 

Item 1.01 - Conflict Minerals Disclosure and Report

 

Conflict Minerals Disclosure

 

This Form SD of Christopher & Banks Corporation (the “Company”) is filed pursuant to Rule 13p-1 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (the “Rule”) for the reporting period of January 1, 2014 to December 31, 2014.

 

A copy of the Company’s Conflict Minerals Report is provided as Exhibit 1.01 to this Form SD, and is publicly available at www.christopherandbanks.com (click on For Investors and then Conflict Minerals Report).

 

Rule 13p-1 requires disclosure of certain information when a company manufactures or contracts to manufacture products for which the minerals specified in the Rule are necessary to the functionality or production of some or all of those products. The specified minerals are gold, columbite-tantalite (coltan), cassiterite and wolframite, including their derivatives, which are limited to tantalum, tin and tungsten (the “Conflict Minerals”). The “Covered Countries” for the purposes of Rule 13p-1 are the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the Republic of the Congo, the Central African Republic, South Sudan, Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, Tanzania, Zambia and Angola. The Company contracts to manufacture certain products that contain Conflict Minerals necessary to their functionality. The Company has conducted a reasonable country of origin inquiry regarding the Conflict Minerals used in the products it contracts to manufacture. This inquiry was reasonably designed to determine whether any of the Conflict Minerals originated in the Covered Countries and whether any of the Conflict Minerals may be from recycled or scrap sources. Based on the results obtained, the Company concluded (i) that it is unable to determine whether the Conflict Minerals may have originated in the Covered Countries and (ii) that certain of the Conflict Minerals came from recycled or scrap sources. More information is available at www.christopherandbanks.com as described above.

 

Item 1.02 - Exhibit

 

As specified in Section 2, Item 2.01 of this Form SD, the Company is hereby filing its Conflict Minerals Report as Exhibit 1.01 to this report.
