As a socially responsible global enterprise, DB HiTek strives to prohibit the use of so-called “conflict minerals” exported by the Democratic Republic of Congo and its neighboring countries. Such conflict minerals comprise tungsten, tantalum, tin, gold and cobalt, which directly or indirectly finance or benefit armed groups that violate the human rights of their citizens.

DB HiTek sets forth the following guidelines regarding conflict minerals:

• Suppliers must sign a Non-purchase Agreement that states they will not purchase any conflict minerals from designated
    countries violating human rights.
  
• Suppliers must reaffirm that their materials are not conflict minerals during the initial material certification procedure.
  
• DB HiTek will annually audit all of its suppliers to ensure that they have fully complied with the Non-purchase
    agreement relating to conflict minerals, and make these audits available to its customers.
  

DB HiTek will continue to proactively participate in global efforts to abandon use of conflict minerals to protect human rights in the Democratic Republic of Congo and neighboring countries.
