VEECO INSTRUMENTS INC.
CONFLICT MINERALS REPORT
FOR YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2023

This Conflict Minerals Report (this “Report”) of Veeco Instruments Inc., including its subsidiaries (collectively, “Veeco” or “we” or “our”) has been prepared pursuant to Rule 13p-1 and Form SD promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 for the reporting period January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2023 (the “Reporting Period”).

Rule 13p-1, through Form SD, requires the disclosure of certain information if a company manufactures or contracts to manufacture products for which certain “Conflict Minerals” (as defined below) are necessary to the functionality or production of such products. Form SD defines “Conflict Minerals” as: (i) columbite-tantalite (or coltan), cassiterite, gold and wolframite, or their derivatives, which are currently limited to metallic forms of tantalum, tin and tungsten; or (ii) any other mineral or its derivatives determined by the U.S. Secretary of State to be financing conflict in the Democratic Republic of the Congo or an adjoining country (collectively, the “Covered Countries”). Veeco’s operations, including the operations of its consolidated subsidiaries, may at times manufacture, or contract to manufacture, products for which Conflict Minerals are necessary to the functionality or production of those products (collectively, its “products” and, individually, a “product”). As required by Form SD, Veeco has conducted a good faith reasonable country of origin inquiry regarding the Conflict Minerals included in its products during the Reporting Period, which are referred to in this Report as the “Covered Minerals,” to determine whether any of such Covered Minerals originated in the Covered Countries and/or whether any of such Covered Minerals may be from recycled or scrap sources. Where applicable, Veeco has conducted additional due diligence regarding the sources of the Covered Minerals. The results of Veeco’s reasonable country of origin inquiry regarding the Covered Minerals, as well as its additional due diligence regarding the sources of the Covered Minerals, are contained in this Report.

I. Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry (“RCOI”)

Prior to initiating our RCOI, we retained a regulatory compliance information management company to assist in structuring the process and administering data collection.  Our inquiry began with a review of all of our suppliers.  We focused our RCOI on the relevant suppliers that, due to the nature of their business, utilize Covered Minerals.  We provided these suppliers with a questionnaire based on the Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition-Global e-Sustainability Initiative Conflict Minerals Common Reporting Template (the “EICC-GeSI Template”). The EICC-GeSI Template is regarded as the most commonly accepted reporting tool for conflict minerals content and sourcing information worldwide and was developed by several of the world’s leading consumer electronics companies.  The questionnaire asked the suppliers, among other things, to disclose the origin of any Covered Minerals used in their manufacturing processes and to identify the Covered Minerals processing facilities within their supply chain.  We also asked them, if accurate, to represent that their Covered Minerals did not originate from a Covered Country.  We reviewed questionnaires received for completeness and consistency of answers.  Many of our suppliers’ responses were company level declarations and therefore it is possible that the information they provided includes smelters/refiners whose Covered Minerals are not utilized in our products.  Certain surveyed suppliers reported that the Covered Minerals identified in their supply chain originated from recycled or scrap sources and thus did not require further due diligence.

Our RCOI process was reasonably designed and performed in good faith, but there are inherent limitations in the information provided to us by third parties, including the possibility of information being inaccurate, incomplete or falsified despite our efforts to validate and confirm the information.

II. Design of Due Diligence Framework

Our due diligence approach was designed to generally align with the OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas: Third Edition (“OECD Guidance”).  The OECD Guidance is an internationally-recognized due diligence framework consisting of a multi-step, risk-based process, certain aspects of which differ depending in part on the position of a company in the supply chain. Veeco is a “downstream” company, which refers to supply chain participants from the smelter to the retailer, in contrast to those “upstream,” that is, from the mine to the smelter. Key elements of Veeco’s due diligence approach are described below.

III. Due Diligence Measures Undertaken

Veeco’s due diligence measures performed include, but are not limited to, the following:

· Reporting to senior management on suppliers’ responses to our conflict minerals information requests, including updates on monitoring and tracking corrective action and risk mitigation efforts (where applicable);

· Communicating our policy on Conflict Minerals to suppliers and our commitments and requirements expected of our suppliers, supported by email and phone dialogues. A copy of our policy is publicly available at https://www.veeco.com/resources/veeco-conflict-minerals-policy;

· Using a third party service, comparing smelters and refiners identified by suppliers to (i) the Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (the “Template”) developed by the Responsible Minerals Initiative (formerly the Conflict-Free Sourcing Initiative, or “CFSI”) which lists validated conflict free and verified facilities and (ii) the US Department of Commerce list of all known conflict mineral processing facilities worldwide;

· Conducting our own supplemental research on smelters and refiners identified by our suppliers; and

· Developing a risk mitigation plan that allows for continued trade with a supplier during the supplier’s risk mitigation efforts.

IV. Product Description

The products subject to this Report are Veeco process equipment and services (including spare parts) primarily sold to make electronic devices including semiconductors, power electronics, wireless devices, hard disk drives and light emitting diodes, and include Laser Annealing Systems, Lithography Systems, Ion Beam Systems, Metal Organic Chemical Vapor Deposition Systems, Wet Processing Systems, Molecular Beam Epitaxy Systems, Atomic Layer Deposition Systems, Physical Vapor Deposition Systems, Dicing and Lapping Systems, and Gas and Vapor Delivery Systems.

V. Product Determination

Based on the information obtained pursuant to the due diligence process (as described above), Veeco does not have sufficient information at this time to determine whether all of our products are conflict free.  However, the suppliers who responded to our questionnaire gave no indication that the Covered Minerals they source directly or indirectly financed or benefitted armed groups in the Covered Countries.  Due to the manner in which our suppliers disclosed country of origin information, we do not believe that all of the countries of origin named by our suppliers are actually in our supply chain.

VI. Smelter / Refiner and Country of Origin

Based solely on information that was provided by our suppliers (as described above), some of which was on an entity level basis without specification as to the specific Covered Minerals Veeco purchased, and without independent verification, Veeco identified the following smelters/refiners used by Veeco suppliers that have (i) achieved Conflict Free designation by the CFSI (the “Conflict Free Designated Smelters and Refiners”) or (ii) an audit program recognized by CFSI or are actively in the process of obtaining the Conflict Free designation, or for which we independently obtained country of origin information (the “In Process Smelters and Refiners”):

Certain smelters were identified as high risk due to potential sourcing from the Covered Countries. However, because many of our suppliers provided company-level responses to Veeco’s conflict minerals information requests, it is uncertain as to whether these facilities are in our supply chain. We are continuing to work with our suppliers to determine the status of the facilities relative to Veeco products. Should these smelters be present in our supply chain, Veeco will reemphasize our conflict minerals policy to the relevant suppliers and encourage them to either find alternate sources or request that the smelters be audited.
