SELECT COMFORT CORPORATION
CONFLICT MINERALS REPORT
FOR THE REPORTING PERIOD
ENDING DECEMBER 31, 2016

This is the Conflict Minerals Report (“Report”) for Select Comfort Corporation (“Select Comfort,” also referred to as the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) for the reporting period from January 1 through December 31, 2016, and is presented in accordance with Rule 13p-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“the Rule”).

The Democratic Republic of the Congo (“DRC”) and adjacent countries have reserves of the minerals tin, tantalum, tungsten, and gold (collectively known as “3TG”). 3TG minerals are commonly used in manufacturing many consumer products. 3TG minerals are occasionally sourced and traded illegally in the eastern DRC and surrounding areas (collectively, “Covered Countries”) by armed groups also responsible for committing human rights violations. 3TG minerals so sourced and traded are known as “conflict minerals.”

The Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) adopted the Rule to implement conflict minerals reporting and disclosure requirements set forth in Section 1502 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (“Dodd-Frank”). Section 1502 requires SEC registrants to disclose whether their manufactured products contain conflict minerals that are necessary to the functionality or production of their products. The minerals subject to the SEC’s disclosure requirements are cassiterite (tin), columbite-tantalite (tantalum), gold, wolframite (tungsten), and their derivatives, which, in the case of cassiterite, columbite-tantalite, gold, and wolframite, are limited to 3TG. Select Comfort files this Conflict Minerals Report pursuant to the Rule and Section 1502 of Dodd-Frank.

1. Company Overview

Select Comfort Corporation, based in Minneapolis, Minnesota, was founded in 1987. We offer consumers high-quality, individualized sleep solutions and services, which include a complete line of Sleep Number® beds, bases, and bedding accessories. We have a vertically-integrated business model and are the exclusive designer, manufacturer, marketer, retailer, and servicer of a complete line of Sleep Number beds. We are the pioneer in biometric sleep tracking and adjustability. Only the Sleep Number bed offers SleepIQ™ technology - proprietary sensor technology that works directly with the bed’s DualAir™ system to track each individual’s sleep. Select Comfort also offers FlexFit™ adjustable bases and Sleep Number pillows, sheets, and other bedding products. As a specialty mattress retailer with stores across the nation, we offer consumers a unique, value-added retail experience at one of the more than 540 Sleep Number stores across the country.

In January 2013, Select Comfort acquired the assets of ComfortAire Corporation, whose products are included in this Report. On September 14, 2015, Select Comfort acquired BAM Labs, Inc. through a subsidiary merger. The business of BAM Labs, Inc. is now conducted by a wholly-owned subsidiary of Select Comfort known as SleepIQ LABS Inc. The products of SleepIQ LABS Inc. are not included in this Report and are not required to be included in this Report.

2. Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry (RCOI)

In accordance with the requirements of the Rule, we performed a Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry (“RCOI”) designed to determine if any 3TG necessary to the functionality and production of our products may have originated





1






in the Covered Countries. We surveyed all active suppliers and asked those who indicated the presence of 3TG in their products to complete the Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (“CMRT”) created by the Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition - Global e-Sustainability Initiative (“EICC-GESI”). We reviewed supplier CMRT responses for accuracy and completeness and contacted suppliers if we needed additional information or clarification about their respective responses. Thirteen direct suppliers indicated the presence of 3TG in products supplied to Select Comfort. Three of the thirteen suppliers reported that the 3TG in the supplied products may have originated in Covered Countries, seven reported that the 3TG in the supplied products did not originate in the Covered Countries, and three suppliers reported that the origin, mines, or facilities used to produce the supplied 3TG are unknown.

3. Diligence

3.1 Design of Due Diligence

As a result of our RCOI, we determined that the 3TG contained in some of our products may have originated in one or more Covered Countries. We therefore engaged in due diligence regarding the sources and chain of custody of this 3TG in accordance with Rule 13p-1 of the Securities Exchange Act. We performed supply chain due diligence on the source and chain of custody of the conflict minerals in a manner consistent with the OECD’s framework and its Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas (“OECD Guidance”). This due diligence process includes implementing the OECD’s five-step framework for risk-based due diligence in the mineral supply chain. Our implementation of this due diligence process is ongoing.

Step 1 - Company Management Systems

Conflict Minerals Policy
Select Comfort has adopted a Conflict Minerals Policy that has been made available to its suppliers and the public at www.sleepnumber.com.

Internal Management Structure
Select Comfort has established an internal management process to support its supply chain due diligence efforts. We established a cross-functional Conflict Minerals Task Force (“Task Force”) of subject matter experts from relevant functional areas of the company including sourcing, legal, and product compliance and quality to implement our conflict minerals due diligence and compliance strategy. Task Force members brief management in their respective functions on the due diligence efforts.

Supply Chain Controls and Transparency
Select Comfort expects its suppliers to source 3TG from ethical sub-tier suppliers and to adopt the EICC-GeSI’s Conflict-Free Sourcing Initiative’s (“CFSI”) Conflict Free Smelter Program (“CFSP”) as a compliance standard. We require suppliers to annually certify whether the products they supply to Select Comfort in that calendar year contain 3TG and, if so, to provide written evidence documenting their due diligence efforts and source determinations. We centrally maintain all relevant documentation in an electronic format.

Supplier Engagement
Select Comfort is committed to ensuring conflict-free sourcing of metals through collaboration with suppliers by incorporating compliance expectations in new commercial contracts and written agreements. Suppliers are referred to Select Comfort’s Conflict Minerals Policy and are educated on an as-needed, ongoing basis about the requirements, methods, and importance of 3TG supply chain due diligence and disclosure.






2





Company Grievance Mechanism
Select Comfort has a company-level grievance mechanism in place that may be used for reporting issues regarding Conflict Minerals sourcing.

Step 2 - Identify and Assess Risk in the Supply Chain

Select Comfort does not directly source 3TG from mines, smelters, or refiners, and is in most cases several production levels removed from them. We therefore rely on our direct suppliers to collect data about the presence and country of origin of any 3TG necessary to the functionality of any products supplied to us. We surveyed direct suppliers and evaluated their respective responses to determine the sufficiency, accuracy, and completeness of the information provided. We contacted suppliers with insufficient, potentially inaccurate, or incomplete responses for additional information.

Step 3 - Design and Implement a Strategy to Respond to Identified Risks

Select Comfort’s internal management structure provides regular reporting to management regarding conflict minerals due diligence and compliance strategy updates. The Task Force provides the necessary information for management to determine on a case-by-case basis whether Select Comfort continues to trade with suppliers during mitigation of identified risks in its supply chain.

Step 4 - Carry Out an Independent Third Party Audit of Refiner’s Due Diligence Practices

Select Comfort does not have direct relationships with 3TG smelters and refiners and we do not perform direct audits of the entities that provide our supply chain with 3TG. We, however, support and rely on industry efforts to influence smelters and refiners to get audited and certified through the CFSP.

Step 5 - Report on Supply Chain Due Diligence

In accordance with the OECD Guidance and the Rule, this report is available on our website at www.sleepnumber.com.

3.2 Due Diligence Results

All of our active, direct suppliers were asked to indicate the presence of 3TG in materials manufactured for Select Comfort in 2016. Suppliers indicating 3TG products were asked to complete the CMRT and identify smelter names and the source country of the 3TG.

Thirteen direct suppliers indicated the presence of 3TG in products supplied to Select Comfort. Three of the thirteen suppliers reported that the 3TG in the supplied products may have originated in Covered Countries, seven reported that the 3TG in the supplied products did not originate in the Covered Countries, and three suppliers reported that the origin, mines, or facilities used to produce the supplied 3TG are unknown.

Despite our ongoing good faith due diligence, the complexity and fluidity of our supply chain, the submission of some initially incomplete survey responses by some direct suppliers, and the lack of information regarding certain sub-tier suppliers, it is possible that the 3TG contained in some of our products may have originated in one or more Covered Country. We are continuing our due diligence process to determine, at a smelter level, if the sources of any 3TG in products supplied to Select Comfort that may originate in a Covered Country are certified as conflict-free. We intend to further develop transparency into our supply chain by using our due diligence processes, driving accountability within the supply chain by implementing the industry standard CFSP, and continuing our supplier outreach efforts.

4. Product Descriptions

Select Comfort manufactures and contracts to manufacture various beds, adjustable bed bases, bedding, and sleep-related accessory products. Each product is made up of numerous components sourced from many suppliers. Some components may contain 3TG. Specifically, 3TG is present in the following products and/or components: upholstered bedding collection products, adjustable bases, air control systems, under-bed lighting systems, remote controlled power/lighting systems, heating and cooling engines, and some products containing foam/fiber, zippers, printed circuit boards, power cords, or solenoids. As a result of the due diligence procedures described above, including the required RCOI, we cannot exclude the possibility that some of the 3TGs contained in two specific components that may have originated in a Covered Country. Specifically, the printed circuit boards in the adjustable bases’ control boxes and the under-bed lighting system in one of our beds may have originated in a Covered Country. As always, our due diligence is ongoing.

5. List of Smelters/Refiners

Select Comfort has made a reasonable good faith effort to collect and evaluate information concerning 3TG smelters and refiners based on data provided by our suppliers. Please refer to Appendix A for a list of smelters or refiners reported by our suppliers that may supply 3TG utilized in our manufactured products.

6. Future Enhancement Measures

Select Comfort is committed to conducting business activities to the highest standards of ethics and social responsibility and providing our customers with ethically sourced products. We support the goal of ending violence, human rights violations, and environmental devastation in the DRC and adjoining countries. As a result of our findings for this reporting year, we will continue to enhance our process, including our ability to identify, assess, and quickly mitigate any risk of the presence of 3TG sourced from Covered Countries in our products. We will also continue to require our suppliers to ethically source all materials used in our products. We intend to take the following actions to further refine and improve our 3TG due diligence efforts:

Ongoing Efforts:

Continue to refine and improve our internal processes and procedures so that we continue to obtain complete responses from our surveyed suppliers.
Working with our suppliers to ensure accurate, thorough, and timely responses in connection with our due diligence efforts.

New Enhancement Measures:

Investigate additional resources and potential tools to help the Task Force improve tracking, evaluating, and storing of supplier 3TG due diligence data.
Identify further external opportunities to enhance our due diligence processes including working with trade associations and other third parties to define and improve best practices.
For those suppliers who provided information indicating that their products may contain 3TG sources from a Covered Country, we intend to continue our due diligence efforts to either confirm that the 3TG that is sourced from a Covered Country originates with a certified conflict-free smelter or refiner, or require the supplier to find an alternative source of 3TG that does not originate in a Covered Country or that originates with a conflict-free smelter or refiner.
