CONFLICT MINERALS REPORT OF
NEURONETICS, INC.
FOR THE REPORTING PERIOD FROM
JANUARY 1 TO DECEMBER 31, 2023
I. | Introduction |
This is the Conflict Minerals1 Report of Neuronetics, Inc. (we, our, Neuronetics, or the Company) prepared for calendar year 2023 in accordance with Rule 13p-1 (Rule 13p- 1) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Act). Numerous terms in this Report are defined in Rule 13p-1 of the Act and SEC Release No. 34-67716 (August 22, 2012) under the Act (the Adopting Release). The reader is referred to these sources for the definitions of defined terms contained herein.
In accordance with Rule 13p-1, we undertook efforts to determine the presence and source of the conflict minerals within our products. The Company designed its efforts in conformity with the internationally recognized due diligence framework set forth in the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (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 activities performed to date in good faith by the Company and are based on the infrastructure and information available at the time of this filing. Factors that could affect the accuracy of these statements include, but are not limited to, incomplete supplier data or available smelter data, errors or omissions by suppliers or smelters, evolving identification 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
We are a commercial-stage medical device company that designs, manufactures and sells an FDA-cleared, non-drug, non-invasive treatment for people with psychiatric disorders that have shown resistance or lack of improvement using traditional medicine. The treatments are based upon neuromodulation technology. Neuronetics NeuroStar® Advanced Therapy system is the leading TMS (transcranial magnetic stimulation) treatment for major depressive disorder. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has cleared NeuroStar® Advanced Therapy for Mental Health for the treatment of anxiety symptoms in adults with major depressive disorder (MDD), also known as anxious depression. The NeuroStar Advanced Therapy System is intended to be used as an adjunct for the treatment of adult patients suffering from Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). NeuroStar Advanced Therapy is indicated as an adjunct for the treatment of Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) in adolescent patients (15-21).

1
We are subject to this rule as we have determined that, during 2023, 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 DRC or adjoining countries.
Conflict Minerals Policy
The Company developed a policy statement to support the goals expressed by Congress in enacting Section 1502 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. The policy highlights the Companys commitment to complying with the reporting and due diligence obligations required by the SEC rule and the Companys expectations from its suppliers. In addition, the policy includes language encouraging suppliers to source responsibly. The policy resides on our corporate website at http://ir.neuronetics.com/corporate-governance/highlights.
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.
The Companys RCOI process included reviewing the products manufactured or contracted to be manufactured during the Reporting Period to identify products that should be deemed in-scope as described by the Adopting Release and conducting an inquiry of our direct suppliers of the in-scope products using the Responsible Minerals Initiatives (RMI) Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (CMRT). Based on the results of our RCOI which indicated sourcing from the DRC or an adjoining country, we exercised due diligence on the source and chain of custody of the conflict minerals in accordance with the OECD Due Diligence Guidance. Our due diligence efforts are discussed further in this Conflict Minerals Report.
2
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/refiners due diligence practices
Step 5: Report annually on supply chain due diligence
III. | Due Diligence Measures Performed by The Company |
The following describes the measures taken or being 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 team The Company is establishing a conflict minerals team that includes individuals from the relevant business units and departments. The team will be structured to include the involvement from those in upper management roles, to ensure that critical information, including the Companys conflict minerals policy, reach relevant employees and suppliers. |
b. | Conflict minerals policy The Company adopted and published a policy establishing expectations for our suppliers. |
c. | Supplier engagement The Company communicated its conflict minerals policy and provided educational materials to our in-scope suppliers. Suppliers were informed when the request for information was initiated on the conflict minerals disclosure requirements as well as recommendations for developing, implementing, and documenting a conflict minerals compliance program. |
d. | Records management The Company will maintain records relating to our conflict minerals program in accordance with the recommended record retention guidelines of five years. |
3
Step 2: Identify and assess risks in the supply chain
We performed the following steps as part of our risk assessment process:
a. | Identified products in scope We conducted a detailed review of the products contracted to be manufactured during the Reporting Period to identify products that should be deemed in-scope as described by the Adopting Release. |
b. | Conducted RCOI The Company utilized the industry-developed CMRT to query our suppliers for conflict minerals information. We requested this information from the Tier 1 suppliers who provide materials and components for the products deemed in-scope by our conflict minerals team. We evaluated the responses from the templates submitted by our suppliers to determine our reporting obligation based on this RCOI. |
c. | Completed additional follow-up The Company contacted our contract manufacturers, which contacted their direct suppliers and followed up with due diligence. Our contract manufacturers continue to clarify and validate the accuracy of information provided by their suppliers. |
d. | Identified smelters or refiners (SORs) The Company compiled a list of SORs in our supply chain using our suppliers responses in their company CMRT. The Company reconciled this list to the list of smelter facilities designated by the RMIs Responsible Minerals Assurance Process (RMAP). The RMAP completes independent, third-party audits of smelters and refiners to determine which can be validated as having systems in place that ensure the minerals are responsible sourced according to the OECD Due Diligence Guidance. The Company works with a third-party expert in the area of Conflict Minerals to reconcile suppliers smelters lists to the list of RMI SORs. We have provided the list of SORs in our supply chain in this report within section IV Product Description; Processing Facilities. We also have provided the country-of-origin details for the smelters in use by our suppliers in Appendix 1. |
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. | Reporting results to senior management The Conflict Minerals team reports to the results of our RCOI to upper management which included the teams plan to respond to risks identified in the due diligence processes. |
b. | Identified SORs As part of the risk mitigation process, the Company reconciled the list of SORs collected from suppliers to the list of smelter facilities validated by the RMI. |
Step 4: Carry out independent third-party audit of smelter/refiners due diligence practices
The Company is using information provided by independent third-party audit programs, including the RMI, London Bullion Market Association (LBMA), and Responsible Jewelry Council (RJC), to confirm the existence and verify the OECD-conformance status of SORs identified during our due diligence.
Step 5: Report annually on supply chain due diligence
Accordingly, this Conflict Minerals Report has been filed with the SEC and is available on our website at http://ir.neuronetics.com/corporate-governance/highlights.

IV. | Product Description; Processing Facilities |
Product Description Our business is managed and reported on a product basis as follows:
Our current products include our NeuroStar Advanced Therapy System used to treat psychiatric disorders. All of our revenues are currently derived from sales of our NeuroStar Advanced Therapy System, accessories, components and related services in the United States and select international markets. Each of our current products is, and our future products will be, designed to address significant unmet clinical needs in the treatment of mental health.
Processing Facilities Based on our due diligence process and the information received from our suppliers, the following facilities were identified by the Companys suppliers as the smelters and refiners of the tin, tantalum, tungsten and/or gold present in and necessary to the functionality of products manufactured by the Company in the calendar year ended December 31, 2023. The information from our suppliers is still evolving and may contain company-level declarations. As such, this smelter list is presented in good faith as the best information we have to date. This list may contain smelters that are not in our supply chain and/or there may be other smelters not yet identified in our due diligence process. We will continue to update the list as our information and the relevant third-party data from RMI, LBMA, and RJC improves.

V. | Future Due Diligence |
We will continue to communicate our expectations and information requirements to our direct suppliers. Over time, we anticipate that the amount of information available 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. If we become aware of a supplier whose due diligence needs improvement, we may 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:
| Review the conflict minerals policy statement and update if necessary. |
| Continue to collect responses from suppliers using the most recent revision of the CMRT. |
| Engage with suppliers that did not provide a response in 2023 or provided incomplete responses to enhance our data collection for 2024. |
| Monitor and track performance of risk mitigation efforts. |
| Compare and validate RCOI results to information collected via independent third-party audit programs, such as the RMI, and through our Companys own coordinated outreach to smelters. |
| Encourage responsible sourcing from the DRC and adjoining countries. |
