Section 1 – Conflict Minerals Disclosure

Item 1.01 Conflict Minerals Disclosure and Report

With respect to the reporting period from January 1, 2017 to December 31, 2017, Qualys, Inc. (“Qualys” or the “Company”) evaluated its current products and determined that certain products it manufactures, or causes to be manufactured, contain gold, columbite-tantalite (coltan), cassiterite and wolframite, including their derivatives (“Conflict Minerals”). Following this initial determination, the Company conducted a reasonable country of origin inquiry and additional due diligence designed to conform with the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas, including the related supplements on gold, tin, tantalum and tungsten (the “Framework”), in order to determine whether the Conflict Minerals contained in the Company’s products originated from the Democratic Republic of Congo, the Republic of Congo, the Central African Republic, South Sudan, Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, Tanzania, Zambia or Angola (collectively, the “Covered Countries”).

Based on these due diligence efforts, the Company has reason to believe that certain Conflict Minerals contained in its products may have originated in the Covered Countries and may not be Conflict Minerals from recycled or scrap sources. However, the Company does not have sufficient information to conclusively determine the countries of origin of the Conflict Minerals contained in its products or whether such Conflict Minerals are from recycled or scrap sources. The Company conducted due diligence on the source and chain of custody of these Conflict Minerals and prepared the Conflict Minerals Report attached hereto as Exhibit 1.01.
