Item 1.01 Conflict Minerals Disclosure and Report

 

1.

Introduction

 

Oil States International, Inc. (the Company or Oil States), through its subsidiaries, manufactures and contracts to manufacture products that contain gold, tantalum, tin and tungsten (“3TG”). As these materials are necessary to Oil States’ products, the Company is dedicated to tracing the origin of these metals to ensure compliance with the requirements set forth in the final rule regarding use of conflict minerals.

 

2.

Conflict Minerals Disclosures

 

Oil States has concluded in good faith that during the reporting period for 2014:

 

 

a)

Oil States manufactured and contracted to manufacture products for which “conflict minerals” (as defined in Section 1502(e)(4) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act) are necessary to the functionality or production.

 

b)

As such, Oil States performed a good faith “reasonable country of origin inquiry” (RCOI) and subsequent due diligence in an effort to determine whether its sourcing practices directly or indirectly funded armed groups in the Covered Countries.

 

In accord with Rule 13p-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Rule 13p-1”), Oil States has filed this Specialized Disclosure Form (“Form SD”) and the associated Conflict Minerals Report which further details the results of our good faith RCOI, as well as our additional due diligence regarding the sources of potential conflict minerals in our supply chain. Both reports are posted to a publicly available Internet site at http://www.ir.oilstatesintl.com/sec.cfm.
