INVESTOR RELATIONS

Avinger, Inc. is dedicated to conducting business honestly and ethically. As such, it is the policy of Avinger, Inc. to conduct business in compliance with laws that require publicly traded companies to disclose their use of “conflict minerals” originating from the Democratic Republic of the Congo (“DRC”) or an adjoining country. Conflict minerals include columbite-tantalite (coltan), cassiterite (tin), wolframite (tungsten), and gold, (collectively, “3T&G”) and any of their derivatives. Avinger, Inc. has established program framework that is in alignment with OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas.

We encourage our suppliers to adopt similar policies and management systems with respect to conflict minerals and to drive those efforts throughout their supply chain to ensure that the specified metals are being sourced only from (1) mines and smelters outside the DRC or an adjoining country; or (2) mines and smelters within the DRC or an adjoining country which have been certified by an independent third party as “conflict free.” In addition, we will continue our long-standing policy to establish and maintain relationships with suppliers that share our values regarding legal compliance, transparency, human rights, and ethics.
