TAT Technologies Ltd. Conflict Minerals Report For The Year Ended December 31, 2016

This report for the year ended December 31, 2016 is presented to comply with Rule 13p-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Rule). For the purpose of the required Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry (RCOI), TAT Technologies Ltd. continued to receive supply chain responses through May 25, 2017. 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 Conflict Minerals which are necessary to the functionality or production of their products. Conflict Minerals are defined as tin, tantalum, tungsten, and gold (3TG) for the purposes of this assessment. These requirements apply to registrants whatever the geographic origin of the Conflict Minerals and whether or not they fund armed conflict.

If a registrant can establish that the Conflict Minerals originated from sources other than the Democratic Republic of the Congo or an adjoining country (the Covered Countries), or from recycled and scrap sources, they must submit a Form SD which describes the Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry completed.

If a registrant has reason to believe that any of the Conflict Minerals 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 report, Conflict Minerals Report (CMR), to the SEC that includes a description of those due diligence measures.

1. Company Overview

This report has been prepared by the management of TAT Technologies Ltd. (herein referred to as "TAT" the "Company," "we," "us," or "our"). The information includes the activities of all relevant subsidiaries that are required to be consolidated.

TAT Technologies Ltd. is a leading provider of services and products to the commercial and military aerospace and ground defense industries. TAT operates under four segments: (i) Original Equipment Manufacturing or "OEM" of Heat Management Solutions (ii) Heat Transfer Services and Products (iii) Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul or "MRO" services of Aviation Components; and (iv) overhaul and coating of jet engine components.

TAT's activities in the area of OEM Heat Management Solutions are focused on the design, development, manufacture, and sale of the following: (i) a broad range of heat transfer components including heat exchangers, pre-coolers and oil/fuel hydraulic coolers used in mechanical and electronic systems on-board commercial, military and business aircraft; (ii) environmental control and cooling systems on board aircraft and for ground applications; and (iii) a variety of other electronic and mechanical aircraft accessories and systems such as pumps, valves, power systems and turbines.

TAT's activities in the area of Heat Transfer Services and Products include the maintenance, repair and overhaul of heat transfer equipment and to a lesser extent, the manufacture of certain heat transfer product parts. TAT's Limco subsidiary operates an FAA certified repair station, which provides heat transfer MRO services and products for airlines, air cargo carriers, maintenance service centers and the military.

TAT's activities in the area of MRO services for Aviation Components include the maintenance, repair and overhaul of APUs, Landing Gears and other aircraft components. TAT's Piedmont subsidiary operates an FAA certified repair station, which provides aircraft component MRO services for airlines, air cargo carriers, maintenance service centers and the military.

TAT's activities in the area of jet engine overhaul includes the overhaul and coating of jet engine components such as turbine vanes and blades, fan blades, variable inlet guide vanes, afterburner flaps and other components.

2. Products Overview

TAT is principally engaged in the following activities:

Design, development, manufacture and sale of a broad range of heat transfer equipment and solutions;

  • Remanufacture, overhaul and repair of heat transfer equipment;
  • Maintenance, repair and overhaul of auxiliary power units, landing gears and related components;

Design, development and manufacture of aviation and flow control accessories including fuel components, secondary power systems, and various instrumentation and electronic assemblies; and

  • Design, development and manufacture of environmental control and cooling systems.
  • Overhaul and coating of jet engine components

The products developed, repaired, and maintained by TAT are primarily used for airborne systems on commercial and military aircrafts as well as for defense ground systems. The principal markets of TAT are in Israel, Europe and the United States.

Based upon TAT's internal assessment that included review of all company products in order to identify the products that may include the relevant minerals, the Company uses all 3TG through its OEM manufacturing processes and as such may be included in Heat Exchangers Cores, Air Conditioners manufactured by us and Overhaul and coating of jet engine components. Other TAT's activities have been excluded from the process since these activities involve repair and maintenance services, which are excluded from the rule requirements.

3. Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry (RCOI)

Based on our products analysis, TAT has concluded in good faith that during the calendar year 2016, out of the above SEC defined "Conflict Minerals", Gold, Tantalum, Tungsten and tin can be found in our products. Therefore, the products that we manufacture are subject to the reporting obligations of Rule 13p-1. A suppliers list, which TAT Technologies purchased from during calendar year 2016, was issued using TAT's IT systems by the purchasing department manager. The total number of the suppliers in the list was approximately 700 suppliers. The list was segmented according to the type of material or component the supplier provides such as: papers, rubber, plastic, metal, electronics, etc. All of the suppliers' categories were excluded (a total of 688 suppliers) except for the electronics category, since these suppliers provided other components than "Electronics", which did not contain Conflict Minerals or that the suppliers provide components which are not necessary to the functionality or production of the products. TAT's finalized level 1 suppliers list includes 14 suppliers (2 of our identified suppliers sent 2 questionnaires) one of the suppliers did not send any questionnaire. The cumulative number of questionnaires received was 13. The methods we used in order to determine the origin of Conflict Minerals in our products included:

  • Sending letters to our direct suppliers, explaining the rule and referring the suppliers to online training materials and instructions;
  • Soliciting survey responses from relevant suppliers of components of our products, using the most updated version of the standard Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (CMRT) designed by the CFSI;
  • Reviewing responses that we received from our suppliers and following up on inconsistent, incomplete, and inaccurate responses; and
  • Sending reminders to suppliers who did not respond to our requests for information.

Our supply chain is complex. There are multiple tiers between our company and the relevant smelters and refineries. Accordingly, we rely on our direct suppliers to provide information on the origin of the Conflict Minerals contained in components which are included in our products. Using our supply chain due diligence processes, driving accountability within the supply chain by leveraging the industry standard CFSI/CFS program, and continuing our outreach efforts we hope to further develop transparency into our supply chain.

Despite having conducted a good faith reasonable country of origin inquiry, we have been unable to determine the origin of all of the 3TG used in our products. Therefore we have performed the due diligence activities and detailed these efforts in this Conflict Minerals Report.

4. Design of Due Diligence

Our due diligence processes and efforts have been developed and adjusted in conjunction with the OECD (2016) Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas: Third Edition, OECD Publishing and the related supplements for gold, tin, tantalum and tungsten.

5. Due Diligence Performed

The due diligence measures we performed are presented below according to the five-step framework established by the OECD:

Step 1. Establish Strong Company Management Systems

Conflict Minerals Policy

Our policy is published on our company's website. As mentioned in our policy, TAT strives to only use 3TG minerals from smelters that have been audited and verified as conflict free by the Conflict Free Smelter Program ("CFSP") or equivalent programs as they become available. Our policy with respect to the sourcing of Conflict Minerals can be found at http://www.tattechnologies.com/Corporate-Governance-Documents.html .

Internal Team

The Company established a management system for complying with the applicable rules. Our management system includes the development of a Conflict Minerals Task Force led by our Chief Financial Officer and a team of subject matter personnel from relevant functions in the Company such as, purchasing, quality assurance, engineering and manufacturing.

Supplier Engagement

As part of our efforts to strengthen engagement with suppliers, we direct and provide our suppliers with training and electronic instruction related to Conflict Minerals, including the CMRT, our Conflict Minerals policy, and FAQs from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. In addition, suppliers that handle 3TG are expected to have their own programs for implementing their own policies.

Procurement processes

TAT is maintaining its standard Terms and Conditions with suitable Conflict Minerals contractual language which requires our suppliers to comply with the rule's reporting requirements.

Maintain records

TAT is maintaining a due diligence compliance process and set forth documentation and record maintenance mechanism to ensure the retaining of relevant documentation in a structured electronic database.

Grievance Mechanism

TAT is maintaining a grievance mechanism which is published on our policy. Whereby concerns and violations of the Conflict Minerals Policy can be reported to its non-executive members or its subcommittees through our official grievance channels (at: [email protected]).

Step 2. Identify and Assess Risks in the Supply Chain

In order to identify risks in our supply chain we assessed two primary risks:

    1. The risk of not receiving on time and accurate information from the supplier; and
    1. The risk of not being able to replace a supplier while trying to move towards the goal of being a conflict free company.

We have segmented our suppliers into three risk levels (high, medium and low) by referring to Conflict Minerals-related risks based on suppliers characteristics, such as: the geographical location of the supplier or manufacturer, whether or not the supplier is a SEC registrant, volume of spending during 2016 and the extent to which the company is dependent upon any particular supplier or, conversely, the availability of alternative suppliers. This segmentation allowed us to invest our risk mitigation efforts according to the supplier level of risk.

As part of the risk assessment phase, we have identified that out of the responses received, 92.3% of TAT's in scope suppliers and manufacturers list have policy in place, which addresses the Conflict Minerals sourcing in the products provided to TAT.

We relied on these supplier's responses to provide us with information about the source of Conflict Minerals contained in the components supplied to us. Our direct suppliers are similarly reliant upon information provided by their suppliers.

We have identified, to the best of our efforts, the smelters/refiners in the supply chain by conducting a supply chain survey using the CMRT in order to facilitate disclosure and communication of information regarding smelters that provide materials to our supply chain. In addition, TAT compared smelters and refiners identified by the supply chain survey against the list of facilities that have received a "Conflict Free" designation from the CFSP.

Step 3. Design and Implement a Strategy to Respond to Identified Risks

TAT continues to work with suppliers who are sourcing from non-conflict free smelters to move towards using Conflict Free smelters within a reasonable time frame. Our management strategy includes: Follow-up processes (including e-mail communication and manual outreach) to escalate any identified issues associated with non-responsive or problematic responses and reviewed in scope suppliers' responses to track smelters and refiners in our supply chain that supply us with Conflict Minerals and have not received a conflict-free designation based on the CFSP or other independent third party validation program..

The supply chain Due Diligence is a dynamic process which requires on-going risk monitoring. In order to ensure effective management of risks, we review the risk identification process occasionally and update the risk mitigation strategy accordingly. Senior management is briefed about the results of our due diligence efforts on a regular basis. We are periodically reporting to the Audit Committee with respect to our due diligence process and compliance obligations.

Step 4. Carry Out Independent Third-Party Audit of Smelter/Refiner's Due Diligence Practices

The Company does not have a direct relationship with 3TG smelters and refiners, nor do we perform direct audits of these entities that provide our supply chain the 3TG. However, we do rely upon the industry (for example, CFSI) efforts to influence smelters and refineries to get audited and certified through CFSI's CFS program.

Step 5. Report Annually on Supply Chain Due Diligence

In addition to this report, for further information about our supply chain Conflict Minerals policy, including our approach for supply chain due diligence and supplier expectation, please see it at: http://www.tat-technologies.com/Press-Releases.html.

6. Results of Assessment

We conducted a supply-chain survey of the 14 suppliers we identified as potential providers of necessary Conflict Minerals to our products.

The overall response rate to this survey was approximately 92.8% containing the presumed names and locations of smelters and refiners (see Annex 1) and country of origin see (Annex 2) which process Conflict Minerals. We received 13 questionnaires Of this response rate, 2 suppliers reported that their products do not contain Conflict Minerals and 8 suppliers reported that they are conflict free (both from DRC and not from DRC).

By adopting a methodology based on the OECD guidelines and the CFSI template, TAT concludes that the information gathered from the smelters and refiners in its supply chain represents the most reasonable known mine of origin information available as the OECD Due Diligence Guidance is currently the best known efforts to obtain mine and country of origin information.

TAT has encountered difficulty in identifying entities downstream from TAT's products. Therefore, TAT relies on its direct suppliers to provide information about the source of Conflict Minerals contained in the components supplied to TAT.

In addition, information gathered from TAT's suppliers is not on a continuous, real-time basis. Therefore, TAT can only provide reasonable, not absolute, assurance regarding the source and chain of custody of the necessary Conflict Minerals, since the information comes from direct and secondary suppliers and independent third party audit programs

Smelters and refiners verified as conflict free or in the audit process:

Tin 70 of 97 (72%)
Tantalum 43 of 54 (80%)
Tungsten 38 of 51 (74.5%)
Gold 96 of 130 (74%)
Total 247 of 332 (74.5%)

Status of identified smelters and refiners:

2016
Verified Conflict Free 236
Participating in an audit process 11
Total 247

7. Continuous improvement efforts to mitigate risk

As we move towards developing our due diligence program, we intend to take the following steps to continue to mitigate any possible risk that the necessary Conflict Minerals in our products could benefit armed groups in the DRC or adjoining countries:

TAT will continue working with its global supply chain to ensure responsible sourcing and assure compliance with international regulations
