CONFLICT MINERALS REPORT

Introduction
This Report has been prepared pursuant to Rule 13p-1 (the "Rule") under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, for the reporting period from January 1 to December 31, 2018.
This Report relates to the process undertaken for Axon Enterprise, Inc.'s ("Axon" or "the Company" or "we" or "our") products that were manufactured, or contracted to be manufactured, during calendar year 2018 and that contain gold, columbite-tantalite (coltan), cassiterite, wolframite, tantalum, tin, or tungsten (collectively, the “conflict minerals”).
Tin, tungsten, tantalum and/or gold are necessary to the functionality of a variety of Axon's products, including, but not limited to TASER 7®, TASER X26P®, TASER X2®, TASER Pulse®, replacement cartridges, Axon Flex 2®, Axon Body 2®, Axon docking stations, Axon Signal® products, Axon Fleet®, TASER CAM®, and related accessories. Third-party products that the Company retails but that it does not manufacture or contract to manufacture are outside the scope of this report.
When this Report uses the term “conflict-free” to describe a smelter or refiner, it means that the applicable smelters and refiners have been verified as complying with the Conflict-Free Sourcing Initiative’s Conflict-Free Smelter Program (the “CFSP”) or an equivalent third-party audit program, some of which we describe below under the heading "Design of Due Diligence Framework - Step 2: Identify and Assess Risk in the Supply Chain."

Company Overview
Axon is a developer and manufacturer of advanced conducted electrical devices designed for use by law enforcement, military, corrections, private security personnel, and by private individuals for personal defense. In addition, the Company has developed full technology solutions for the capture, secure storage and management of video/audio evidence as well as other tactical capabilities for use in law enforcement.

Conflict Mineral Policy
Axon supports and respects the protection of internationally proclaimed human rights for all, including the basic human rights of our employees and workers within our supply chain. Axon is committed to respect human rights and fair labor practices.
Coinciding with this commitment, Axon is concerned about human rights violations and labor abuses, which we understand are occurring in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and adjoining countries (the “DRC region”) as a result of the civil discord there. We understand that the armed groups responsible for the conflict in the DRC region may be directly or indirectly financed by the mining and trade in certain conflict minerals.
As a result of the concern around human rights violations, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") adopted final rules to implement reporting and disclosure requirements related to conflict minerals, as directed by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010. The SEC rules require public companies to disclose whether the products they manufacture or contract to manufacture contain conflict minerals that are “necessary to the functionality or production” of those products, and to conduct certain diligence and make certain disclosures regarding such minerals. Tin, tungsten, tantalum and gold are necessary to the functionality of a variety of Axon's products.
Using a documented reasonable process, we work diligently with our direct suppliers to determine the presence and origin of conflict minerals in our supply chain. Recognizing the complexity of this issue, Axon appreciates the need for broad collaboration

Axon Enterprise, Inc. | 2018 Conflict Minerals Report | 1



with all of our suppliers in our supply chain throughout this process. In our commitment to conduct our business worldwide with respect for human rights, we:
Expect our direct suppliers to source materials from suppliers and smelters who also source responsibly, including, but not limited to, from legitimate, conflict-free mines in the DRC region;
Expect our direct suppliers to conduct the necessary due diligence and provide us with proper verification of the country of origin and source of the materials used in the products they supply to Axon; and
Reserve the right to verify information received from our suppliers.
Based on the information learned through our due diligence efforts, we continue to evaluate and make changes to supplier base and hope to make additional progress toward ensuring responsible mineral sourcing throughout our supply chain, and improved transparency for our investors and customers.
Axon's Conflict Mineral Program
The Company's continuous engagement and accountability is leading to better data that will allow management to make meaningful decisions with respect to the Company's supply chain. While the majority of conflict minerals contained in the materials supplied to the Company are sourced by our suppliers through smelters or refiners ("SORs") in countries that the Company has determined to be of lower risk of directly or indirectly financing or benefiting armed groups, the Company acknowledges that mineral supplies may still be sourced by our suppliers from SORs in Central Africa or who acquire product from sources in Central Africa or have other contacts in that region. The Company is determined to continue making efforts to understand whether the SORs its suppliers source from in Central Africa and elsewhere have been certified as conflict-free.
Axon hardware products contain one or more conflict minerals and are within the Rule’s scope. On the basis of our “reasonable country of origin inquiry” (“RCOI”) required by the Rule and described below, we cannot exclude the possibility that some of the conflict minerals contained in our hardware products may have originated in the DRC region. For that reason, we are submitting this Conflict Minerals Report (“CMR”), which describes the conflict minerals due diligence we have performed pursuant to the Rule.
This CMR, which includes sections titled Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry, Design of Due Diligence Framework, Description of Due Diligence Measures Performed, and Future Due Diligence Measures, is designed to meet the reporting requirements of the Rule. It is publicly available on our investor relations website at www.investor.axon.com.
Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry
The Company's RCOI corresponds to the first and second steps of the five-step OECD Guidance further described below, as that Guidance (including its Supplements) applies to each of the conflict minerals and to Axon as a “downstream company.” The OECD Guidance provides a framework for detailed due diligence to support responsible global supply chain management of minerals, including the conflict minerals.
As a direct manufacturer, the Company does not directly source conflict minerals. We source products and components from direct suppliers, which source materials from their subtier suppliers. Our supply chain is extensive and complex with many layers of suppliers positioned between ourselves and conflict mineral smelters, refiners, and mines. Due to our extended supply chain, we rely on our direct suppliers, including our component manufacturers, to provide us with information concerning the sources and chains of custody of conflict minerals necessary to the functionality or production of our hardware products. The Company does not have complete information about the conflict minerals in its entire supply chain. For 2018, many direct suppliers identified smelters or refiners in their supply chain on a company-wide basis, division or product-line basis, without specifying the smelters or refiners that were relevant to products they supplied to Axon. Accordingly, the Company refers in this Conflict Minerals Report to smelters or refiners being "potentially" in our supply chain and as conflict minerals "potentially" supplied to Axon.

The charts below highlight the Company's 2018 RCOI, including the number of identified direct suppliers that participated in the Company's conflict minerals campaigns versus those who did not, as well as the status of known suppliers that have been certified as conflict-free versus those that have not received such certification:
a2016ex101_chart-34890a02.jpga2016ex101_chart-36566a02.jpg

For the 2018 reporting period, the Company identified 164 direct suppliers, including our component manufacturers, determined to be in-scope for regulatory purposes based on the Company’s influence over the manufacturing process (i.e., meeting the manufacture or contract to manufacture criteria in Rule 13p-1) and the use of conflict minerals in materials supplied. Based on response rates received from direct suppliers, the Company identified 160 known suppliers of products containing conflict minerals, and of those, 77% were certified as being conflict-free. For the 2017 reporting period, the Company identified 162 direct suppliers, including our component manufacturers, determined to be in-scope for regulatory purposes based on the Company’s influence over the manufacturing process (i.e., meeting the manufacture or contract to manufacture criteria in Rule 13p-1) and the use of conflict minerals in materials supplied. Based on response rates received from direct suppliers, the Company identified 162 known suppliers of products containing conflict minerals, and of those, 63% were certified as being conflict-free. The Company remains focused on its due diligence efforts in 2018 to work with our direct suppliers to verify the remaining SORs supplying conflict minerals contained in our products, and if that cannot be done, considering whether to remove them from our supply chain.
The following table illustrates the status of known suppliers of conflict minerals potentially in the Company's supply chain:

Design of Due Diligence Framework

Inherent Limitations on Due Diligence Measures: As a downstream purchaser of products which contain conflict minerals, the Company's due diligence measures can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance regarding the source and chain of custody of the necessary conflict minerals. The Company's due diligence processes are based on the necessity of seeking data from our direct suppliers and those suppliers seeking similar information within their supply chains to identify the original sources of the necessary conflict minerals. The Company also relies, to a large extent, on information collected and provided by independent third party audit programs. Another complicating factor is the unavailability of country of origin and chain of custody information from our suppliers on a continuous, real-time basis. Under the Dodd-Frank Act and the Rule, a product is "DRC conflict-free" if it meets the required standard every day of the reporting year; conversely, a product would "not be found to be DRC conflict-free" if it does not meet the required standard even one day of the reporting year. The supply chain of commodities such as conflict minerals is a multi-step process operating more or less on a daily basis, with ore being delivered to SORs, with SORs smelting or refining ores into metal containing derivatives such as ingots, with the derivatives being shipped, sold and stored in numerous

Axon Enterprise, Inc. | 2018 Conflict Minerals Report | 3



market locations around the world and with distributors and purchasers holding varying amounts of the derivatives in inventory for use.  Since the Company does not have direct contractual relationships with SORs, it relies on our direct suppliers and the entire supply-chain to gather and provide specific information about the date when the ore is smelted into a derivative and later shipped, stored, sold and first entered the stream of commerce. the Company directly seeks sourcing data on a periodic basis from its direct suppliers as well as certain SORs. The Company asks that the data cover the entire reporting year.
The good faith due diligence process that Axon undertook was designed in accordance with the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (“OECD”) Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas (Second Edition, OECD 2013) and the related Supplements on tantalum, tin, tungsten and gold (collectively, the “OECD Guidance”). The OECD Guidance provides practical guidance to companies throughout the supply chain on a set of actions that can be taken to ensure responsible due diligence. Aligning with the OECD’s diligence framework, the steps that Axon implemented were as follows:
Step 1: Establish Strong Corporate Management Systems
Assign accountability for the compliance efforts to a cross-functional team of legal, supply chain, engineering and finance personnel, that meet periodically throughout the year to develop a strategy for the annual conflict minerals campaign.
Employ a supply chain system of controls and transparency through the use of due diligence tools created by the Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition ("EICC") and the Global e-Sustainability Initiative ("GeSI")'s Conflict-Free Sourcing Initiative ("CFSI"), which includes the Conflict Minerals Reporting Template ("CMRT"), a supply chain survey designed to identify the SORs that process the necessary conflict minerals contained in our products.
Feature requirements related to conflict minerals in our standard template for supplier contracts and specifications so that current and future suppliers are obligated to comply with our policies on conflict minerals, including participation in a supply chain survey and related due diligence activities.
Maintain records relating to our conflict minerals program in accordance with our record retention guidelines.
Step 2: Identify and Assess Risk in the Supply Chain
Identify direct suppliers that supply products that may contain conflict minerals.
Conduct a RCOI, requesting direct suppliers to identify SORs and country of origin of the conflict minerals in products they supply to Axon.
Evaluate supplier responses for plausibility, consistency and missing data. Conduct additional supplier contacts to resolve questions with respect to the initial findings to determine whether the responses were reasonable and reliable.
For those supply chains with SORs that are known or thought to be sourcing from the DRC region, additional investigation was conducted to determine the source and chain of custody of covered metals. The Company relies on the following internationally accepted audit standards to determine which SORs are considered conflict-free: the CFSP, the London Bullion Market Association Good Delivery Program and the Responsible Jewelry Council Chain-of-Custody Certification program.
If any SOR was not certified by these internationally-recognized methods, the Company attempted to contact the SOR to gain more information about its sourcing practices, including countries of origin and transfer, and whether there are any internal due diligence procedures in place or other processes that it takes to track the chain of custody on the source of its mineral ores. Relevant information to review includes: whether the SOR has a documented, effective and communicated conflict-free policy, an accounting system to support a mass balance of materials processed, and traceability documentation. The Company also performed Internet research to determine whether there are any outside sources of information regarding the SOR’s sourcing practices. As many as three contact attempts were made to direct suppliers to gather information on mine country of origin and sourcing practices.
Step 3: Design and Implement a Strategy to Respond to Identified Risks
Work with our direct suppliers to verify all SORs, and attempt to ensure that any SORs that were not already certified as conflict-free would enroll in a third-party audit process.
Identify and consider, to the extent feasible, alternative suppliers for materials where the supplier is uncooperative towards our goal of responsibly sourcing conflict minerals.

Axon Enterprise, Inc. | 2018 Conflict Minerals Report | 4



Provide progress reports to our President and other senior management summarizing our risk mitigation efforts.
Step 4: Third-party Audit of Smelter’s/Refiner’s Due Diligence Processes
Based on information received through the CFSP or equivalent independent third-party audit programs, as well as a third-party review of publicly available information about identified SORs, Axon has documented the country of origin information of particular known SORs. The CFSP collects evidence from SORs demonstrating that responsible sourcing procedures and systems have been implemented. The CFSP works with complementary programs in Central Africa to validate conflict-free mine sites and trade routes. Regional traceability and other third-party programs work with non-governmental organizations, government programs, and the CFSP to improve procedures and systems when incidents occur, and they communicate relevant information to program participants as it becomes available. The Company believes that independent third-party audit programs provide a reasonable basis for companies to conclude that SORs have procedures and systems for determining if the SORs process conflict minerals that directly or indirectly finance or benefit armed groups.
Step 5: Report on Supply Chain Due Diligence
Publicly communicate our Conflict Minerals Sourcing Policy on our company website: www.investor.axon.com.
Publicly communicate the results of our annual Conflict Minerals program on our company website: www.investor.axon.com.
Description of Due Diligence Measures Performed 
Below is a description of the measures the Company performed for the 2018 reporting period to exercise due diligence on the source and chain of custody of the necessary conflict minerals contained in our products that we had reason to believe may have originated from the DRC region and may not have come from recycled or scrap sources:
Conducted a supply-chain survey of suppliers that we identified as possibly supplying Axon with products that contain necessary conflict minerals using the CFSI's CMRT, requesting country of origin information regarding the necessary conflict minerals and identification of SORs that process such minerals.
Received and retained responses to the supply-chain survey within an online database.
Performed additional follow up supply chain inquiries for supplier non-responses.
Contacted surveyed suppliers on responses to supply chain surveys that we identified contained incomplete or potentially inaccurate information to seek additional clarifying information.
Compared SORs identified by the supply chain survey against the list of facilities that have received a "conflict-free" designation from the CFSP or other independent third-party audit program.
Provided progress reports to the President and other members of senior management to communicate the status and results of our conflict minerals program.
Future Due Diligence Measures 
During the reporting period for the calendar year ending December 31, 2018, we are continuing to engage in the activities described above in "Design of Due Diligence Framework" and "Description of Due Diligence Measures Performed." In our efforts to attain a conflict-free supply chain for our products, we intend to continue to contact SORs identified in our supply chain survey process that have not yet received a "conflict-free" designation and request their participation in the CFSP or other independent third party audit program in order for them to obtain such a "conflict-free" designation. Further the Company intends to advance its due diligence measures but also to mitigate and address certain risks by performing the following:
Redistribute copies of our conflict minerals policy to direct suppliers;
Emphasize to them our expectation that they respond fully and promptly to our information requests;
Instruct them to advise us if they determine that any person or entity in their supply chain is directly or indirectly financing or benefiting armed groups in the DRC region; and

Axon Enterprise, Inc. | 2018 Conflict Minerals Report | 5



Encourage them to direct all SORs in their supply chains to participate in the CFSP or a similar third-party audit program.
Determination
Based on the information provided by the Company’s direct suppliers, including its component manufacturers, and the Company's own due diligence efforts with known SORs through December 31, 2018, the Company believes that the SORs listed on Appendix A below may have been used to process the conflict minerals in Axon's products.
Based on these due diligence efforts, Axon does not have sufficient information to conclusively determine the countries of origin of the conflict minerals in its products or whether such conflict minerals in its products are from recycled or scrap sources.
Axon has provided information as of the date of this Report. Subsequent events, such as the inability or unwillingness of any suppliers or SORs to comply with the Company's conflict minerals standards, may affect the Company's future determinations under Rule 13p-1.
