Section 1 - Conflict Minerals Disclosure

Item 1.01 - Conflict Minerals Disclosure and Report

Conflict Minerals Disclosure

This Form SD of Christopher & Banks Corporation (the "Company") is filed pursuant to Rule 13p-1 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, ("Rule 13p-1") for the reporting period of January 1, 2013 to December 31, 2013.

A copy of the Company's Conflict Minerals Report is provided as Exhibit 1.01 to this Form SD, and is publicly available at www.christopherandbanks.com (click on Investor Relations and then Conflict Minerals Report).

Rule 13p-1 requires disclosure of certain information when a company manufactures or contracts to manufacture products for which the minerals specified in the Rule are necessary to the functionality or production of some or all of those products. The specified minerals are gold, columbite-tantalite (coltan), cassiterite and wolframite, including their derivatives, which are limited to tantalum, tin and tungsten (the "Conflict Minerals"). The "Covered Countries" for the purposes of Rule 13p-1 are the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the Republic of the Congo, the Central African Republic, South Sudan, Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, Tanzania, Zambia and Angola. Certain of the Company's operations contract to manufacture products for which the Conflict Minerals are necessary to the functionality of those products. The Company has conducted a good faith reasonable country of origin inquiry regarding the Conflict Minerals used in the products it contracts to manufacture. This inquiry was reasonably designed to determine whether any of the Conflict Minerals originated in the Covered Countries and whether any of the Conflict Minerals may be from recycled or scrap sources. Based on the results obtained, the Company concluded (i) that it is unable to determine whether the Conflict Minerals may have originated in the Covered Countries and (ii) that certain of the Conflict Minerals came from recycled or scrap sources. More information is available at www.christopherandbanks.com.
