EXHIBIT 1.01
CONFLICT MINERALS REPORT OF
ROFIN-SINAR TECHNOLOGIES INC.
IN ACCORDANCE WITH RULE 13p-1
UNDER THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934
FOR THE REPORTING PERIOD FROM
JANUARY 1 TO DECEMBER 31, 2015

I.
Introduction

This is the Conflict Minerals1 Report of ROFIN-SINAR Technologies Inc. (“ROFIN”, the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) prepared for calendar year 2015 (except for conflict minerals that, prior to January 31, 2014, were located outside of the supply chain) in accordance with Rule 13p-1 (“Rule 13p-1” or the "Rule" ) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Act”). Numerous terms in this Report are defined in Rule 13p-1 of the Act and Form SD and the reader is referred to those sources, and also to Release No. 34-67716 (August 22, 2012) of the Act (the “Adopting Release”) for such definitions.

In accordance with Rule 13p-1, we undertook efforts to determine whether the necessary conflict minerals in our products were sourced from the DRC or a Covered Country. The Company’s efforts are aligned with the internationally recognized due diligence framework in the OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas2 (“OECD Due Diligence Guidance”) and related Supplements.

The statements below are based on the due diligence activities performed to date and in good faith by ROFIN and are based on the infrastructure and information available at the time of this filing.  There are factors that could affect the accuracy of these statements.  These factors include, but are not limited to, incomplete supplier data or available smelter data, errors or omissions by suppliers or smelters, evolving definition and confirmation of smelters, incomplete information from industry or other third-party sources, continuing guidance regarding the SEC final rules, and other issues.


II.
Overview

Company Profile

For 40 years, our focus has been to develop advanced production methods for a wide variety of industrial applications. Over this time, ROFIN has become one of the leading global players in the industrial laser materials processing sector and possesses one of the industry’s most comprehensive product, technology and process portfolios. Headquartered in Plymouth, MI, and Hamburg, Germany, the Company maintains more than 20 production facilities in the US, Europe and Asia as well as an extensive global sales and service network. Innovative laser technology from ROFIN is currently being used in many traditional and emerging industries worldwide.






                            
1 The term “conflict mineral” is defined in Section 1502(e)(4) of the Act as (A) columbite-tantalite, also known as coltan (the metal ore from which tantalum is extracted); cassiterite (the metal ore from which tin is extracted); gold; wolframite (the metal ore from which tungsten is extracted); or their derivatives; or (B) any other mineral or its derivatives determined by the Secretary of State to be financing conflict in the Democratic Republic of the Congo or an adjoining country.
2 OECD (2013), OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas: Second Edition, OECD Publishing. http://dx.doi.org/10.1787/9789264185050-en





We are subject to the Rule as we have determined that, during 2015, conflict minerals were likely necessary to the functionality or production of products we manufactured or contracted to manufacture. The Company, as a purchaser of component parts, is many steps removed from the mining of conflict minerals. We do not purchase raw ore or unrefined conflict minerals and we conduct no purchasing activities directly in the covered countries.


Conflict Mineral Policy

ROFIN-SINAR developed a policy statement to support the goals expressed by Congress in enacting Section 1502 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumers Protection Act. The policy highlights Rofin’s commitment to complying with the reporting and due diligence obligations required by the Rule and Rofin’s expectations from its suppliers. The policy resides on our corporate website (https://www.rofin.com/en/investor_relations/corporate_governance/corporate_responsibility/conflict_mineral_policy/)


Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry Information

We have conducted a good faith reasonable country of origin inquiry (“RCOI”) to determine whether the necessary conflict minerals originated in the DRC or an adjoining country or came from recycled or scrap sources.

Rofin’s RCOI process included conducting an inquiry or our direct suppliers using the Conflict-Free Sourcing Initiative’s (“CFSI”) Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (“CMRT”). Based on the results of our RCOI which indicated sourcing from the covered countries, we exercised due diligence on the source and chain of custody of the conflict minerals in accordance with the OECD framework. Our due diligence efforts are discussed further in the Conflict Minerals Report.


Due Diligence Program Design

The Company designed its conflict minerals program to conform, in all material respects, with the five-step framework of the OECD Due Diligence Guidance, the Supplement on Tin, Tantalum, and Tungsten, and the Supplement on Gold, specifically as they relate to our position in the minerals supply chain as a “downstream” company:

Step 1:     Establish strong company management systems
Step 2:     Identify and assess risks in the supply chain
Step 3:     Design and implement a strategy to respond to identified risks
Step 4:    Carry out independent third-party audit of smelter/refiner's due diligence practices
Step 5:     Report annually on supply chain due diligence.


III.
Due Diligence Measures Performed by Rofin

We relied upon multi-stakeholder initiatives that provide verification processes for conflict-free minerals from smelters or refiners who may provide those minerals to companies in our supply chain.

The following describes the measures taken to reasonably determine the country of origin and to exercise due diligence in the mineral supply chain in conformance with the OECD Due Diligence Guidance.

Step 1: Establish strong company management systems

a.
Conflict Minerals Policy - ROFIN adopted and published a policy establishing the expectations of our suppliers to responsibly source products on a conflict-free basis. The policy can be found at and will be periodically reviewed and updated, if necessary.




b.
Cross-Functional Team - We have assembled a core team of supply chain, logistics and product managers to serve as subject matter experts and assist in identifying potential supplier sources of conflict minerals.


Step 2: Identify and assess risks in the supply chain

We performed the following steps as part of our risk assessment process:
a.
Determine Scope of Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry (“RCOI”) - We identified direct suppliers to ROFIN’s manufacturing operations who provide materials and components for our products which might contain conflict minerals.
b.
Conduct RCOI - ROFIN utilized the industry-developed EICC-GeSI Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (“CMRT”) to query our suppliers. We requested this information from our Tier 1 suppliers who provide material and components that were within our scope. We evaluated the responses from the templates submitted by our suppliers to determine our reporting obligation based on this RCOI.
c.
Identify smelters/processors - ROFIN collected a list of smelters/processors that are in our supply chain by utilizing the CMRT and other industry recognized methods/systems that may evolve.


Step 3: Design and implement a strategy to respond to identified risks

We performed the following steps as part of our risk management plan:
a.
Validate Conflict-Free Smelters - As part of the risk mitigation process we compared the list of smelters/processors collected from suppliers and compared it to the conflict-free smelter lists published by the Conflict-Free Sourcing Initiative (“CFSI”).
b.
Confirm Other Active Smelters - A list of uncertified smelters was compiled by comparing the list collected from suppliers to the CFSI lists of active, but not yet certified as conflict-free smelters.


Step 4: Carry out independent third-party audit of smelter/refiner’s due diligence practices

ROFIN is relying on the CFSI’s published lists to verify the conflict-free status of smelters/processors that source from Covered Countries.

Step 5: Report annually on supply chain due diligence

The Company's Conflict Minerals Reports are filed with the SEC and available on our website at www.rofin.com/en/investor_relations/corporate_governance/corporate_responsibility/conflict_mineral_policy/.


IV.

V.Future Due Diligence

We will continue to communicate our expectations and information requirements to our direct suppliers. We will also continue to monitor changes in circumstances that may impact the facts or our determination. Over time, we anticipate that the amount of information globally on the traceability and sourcing of these ores will increase and improve our knowledge. We will continue to make inquiries to our direct suppliers and undertake additional risk assessments when potentially relevant changes in facts or circumstances are identified. New suppliers will be reviewed for conflict minerals conformance during initial business reviews. If we become aware of a supplier whose due diligence needs improvement, we intend to continue the trade relationship while that supplier improves its compliance program. We expect our suppliers to take similar measures with their suppliers to ensure alignment throughout the supply chain.

In addition to those above, the Company will undertake the following steps during the next compliance period to improve the due diligence conducted and to further mitigate the risk that the necessary conflict minerals do not benefit armed groups, including:
•
Continue to collect responses from suppliers using tools such as the CMRT.
•
Engage with suppliers that did not provide a response in 2015 or provided incomplete responses to help with our data collections for 2016.
•
Monitor and track performance of risk mitigation efforts.
•
Compare and validate RCOI results to information collected via independent conflict-free smelter validation programs such as the CFSI.
•
Continue to allow verified conflict-free material from the region to enter our supply chain.
