Section 1 - Conflict Minerals Disclosure
Item 1.01 Conflict Minerals Disclosure and Report
Rocket Lab Corporation (including its consolidated subsidiaries, the “Company”) is filing this Form SD pursuant to Rule 13p-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 for the reporting period from January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2025 (the “Reporting Period”).
For the Reporting Period, the Company conducted, in good faith, a reasonable country of origin inquiry (“RCOI”) regarding the conflict minerals (as defined in Item 1.01(d)(3) of Form SD), that are necessary to the functionality or production of products that the Company manufactures or contracts to manufacture (the “Minerals”). The inquiry was reasonably designed to determine if the Minerals originated in the Democratic Republic of the Congo or an adjoining country (the “Covered Countries”) or are from recycled or scrap sources.
Conflict Minerals Disclosure
Based on the results of our RCOI, the Company has reason to believe that certain Minerals contained in its products for the Reporting Period may have originated in the Covered Countries and may not have been from recycled or scrap sources. The Company therefore conducted due diligence on the source and chain of custody of these Minerals and prepared a Conflict Minerals Report. A copy of the Company’s Conflict Minerals Report for the Reporting Period is publicly available at https://investors.rocketlabcorp.com.
Item 1.02 Exhibit
The Company’s Conflict Minerals Report for the Reporting Period is filed as Exhibit 1.01 hereto.
