Item 1.01. Conflict Minerals Disclosure and Report
Company Overview
ClearOne, Inc. (ClearOne) is a global company that designs, develops and sells conferencing, collaboration, streaming and digital signage products for voice and visual communications.
Conflict Minerals Disclosure

As a result of such conclusion, ClearOne conducted a reasonable country of origin inquiry designed to determine if the conflict minerals in its products originated in the Democratic Republic of Congo or an Adjoining Country or are from recycled or scrap resources.
