Section 1 - Conflict Minerals Disclosure

Item 1.01 Conflict Minerals Disclosure and Report

Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry: GrafTech International Ltd. (“GTI” or the “Company”) determined that in 2013, one conflict mineral (tungsten) is contained in a subsidiary’s product and is necessary to the functionality or production of that product.  During the Company’s reasonable country of origin inquiry about the tungsten in that product, the Company contacted the supplier of the product to determine the country of origin of the tungsten.  As a result of its engagement and communications with its direct supplier (and communications with its indirect supplier), the Company determined that the source of the tungsten in that product was 100% from scrap sources.  Therefore, the Company was not required to conduct due diligence on that necessary conflict mineral. 

This information is also publicly available at the Company’s website at www.graftech.com. The content of any website referred to in this Form SD is included for general information only and is not incorporated by reference in this Form SD.
