Section 1 - Conflict Minerals Disclosure

Item 1.01 Conflict Minerals Disclosure and Report

Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry:

Brief description of inquiry:

To satisfy the reasonable country of origin inquiry ("RCOI") requirement of the Conflict Minerals Rule adopted by the SEC under Section 1502 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Act”), Super Micro Computer, Inc. ("Supermicro" or "we") has, in good faith, surveyed its suppliers using the Electronic Industry Citizen Coalition ("EICC") and the Global e-Sustainability Initiative ("GeSI") Conflict Minerals Reporting Template. The scope of the survey was to determine whether any of the conflict minerals (defined in Section 1502(e)(4) of the Act to include columbite-tantatlite, cassiterite, wolframite and gold) that are not from recycled or scrap sources originated in the Covered Countries, which include the Democratic Republic of the Congo (the “DRC”) or an adjoining country as defined in Section 1502(e)(1) of the Act. Such inquiry included an understanding of our products for which conflict minerals are necessary to the functionality or production of such products. As part of the RCOI process, we performed a scoping exercise to understand our supply chain including the relevant supplier and sub-supplier population and the products or components procured from such suppliers. We adopted a framework for evaluating responses from suppliers and identifying potential red flags in suppliers’ responses. We have also adopted a company level policy on conflict minerals which has been published on our website. An analysis of our products was performed on the basis of which we concluded that they each contain one or more of the conflict minerals, which are necessary to their functionality or production. Therefore, the products that we manufacture or contract to manufacture are subject to the reporting obligations of Rule 13p-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

Based on the approach described above, we believe that we have conducted a good faith reasonable country of origin inquiry for the calendar year ended December 31, 2014. We have documented the performance of the RCOI and our analysis of the supplier responses and the scoping of our products and suppliers for our internal record keeping purposes.

Results of inquiry:

As of the date of this filing, based on the RCOI responses and an analysis of such responses, as it applies to the calendar year ended December 31, 2014, we cannot ascertain the source mine and country of origin of all of the relevant conflict minerals which are necessary to the functionality or production of our products. Therefore, we proceeded with additional due diligence measures for the purpose of determining the source and chain of custody of such conflict minerals.

Exercise Due Diligence on the Source and Chain of Custody of Our Conflict Minerals:

We are required to exercise due diligence on the conflict minerals' source and chain of custody and to follow a nationally or internationally recognized due diligence framework. Our due diligence measures have been designed to conform, in all material respects, with the framework in the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict Affected and High Risk Areas (the "OECD Guidance"). We have adopted and communicated our conflict mineral policy to our suppliers and customers and implemented RCOI procedures to collect additional information from our new and existing suppliers. In addition, we have established programs to encourage our suppliers to source their conflict minerals from certified conflict-free smelters.

Conflict Minerals Report

For the Calendar Year Ended December 31, 2014

Introduction

This report for the year ended December 31, 2014 has been prepared pursuant to Rule 13p-1 and the Specialized Disclosure Report on Form SD ("Form SD") under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (collectively, the "Rule"). The Rule was adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") to implement reporting and disclosure requirements related to conflict minerals as directed by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (the "Dodd-Frank Act"). The Rule imposes certain reporting obligations on SEC registrants whose manufactured products contain conflict minerals which are necessary to the functionality or production of their products. Conflict minerals are defined as cassiterite, columbite-tantalite, gold, wolframite, and their derivatives, which are limited to tin, tantalum, tungsten, and gold ("3TG").

If a registrant determines that conflict minerals are necessary to the functionality or production of products manufactured or contracted by the registrant to be manufactured, the registrant must submit a Form SD which describes the reasonable country of origin inquiry (“RCOI”) that it undertook to determine whether such necessary conflict minerals originated from the Democratic Republic of the Congo (the “DRC”) or an adjoining country (collectively, the “Covered Countries”).

If, on the basis of its RCOI, a registrant knows or has reason to believe that any of the necessary conflict minerals in its supply chain may have originated in any of the Covered Countries, or if it is unable to determine the country of origin of those conflict minerals, the issuer must exercise due diligence on the conflict minerals’ source and chain of custody and submit a Conflict Minerals Report to the SEC that includes a description of those due diligence measures.

This report has been prepared by Super Micro Computer, Inc. (herein referred to as “Super Micro” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). The information contained in this report includes the activities of all of the Company's majority-owned subsidiaries and variable interest entities that are required to be consolidated.

Company Overview

We are a global leader in high-performance, high-efficiency server technology and innovation. We develop and provide end-to-end green computing solutions to the Data Center, Cloud Computing, Enterprise IT, Big Data, HPC and Embedded markets. Our solutions range from complete server, storage, blade and workstations to full racks, networking devices, server management software and technology support and services.

We conduct our operations principally from our headquarters in California and facilities of our subsidiaries in Taiwan, the Netherlands and China. We sell our server systems and subsystems and accessories primarily through distributors and OEMs, as well as through our direct sales force.

Conflict Minerals Policy

We are committed to complying with Section 1502 of the Dodd-Frank Act and achieving the goal of confirming that the materials used in our products are procured from conflict-free sources. We have considered the Rule’s requirements and related guidance from the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (the “OECD”), and we expect our suppliers to comply with the Code of Conduct of the Electronics Industry Citizenship Coalition (the “EICC”) and conduct their business in accordance with our supply chain responsibility expectations.

In support of this policy, we will:

• Exercise due diligence with suppliers of products containing or suspected to contain conflict minerals consistent with the OECD's Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas, 2nd Edition and the related supplements on gold, tin, tantalum and tungsten, (the “OECD Guidance”) and encourage our suppliers to do likewise with their suppliers;

• Provide, and expect our suppliers to cooperate in providing, due diligence information to confirm that the tantalum, tin, tungsten and gold in our supply chain are procured from conflict free sources; and

1

• Collaborate with our suppliers and others on industry-wide solutions to encourage the manufacture of products that are DRC conflict free.

The full text of our Conflict Minerals Policy is available at http://www.supermicro.com/about/policies/Supermicro_Conflict_Minerals_Statement.pdf.

Efforts to Determine the Mine or Location of Origin of the Conflict Minerals in Our Products

Tracing materials back to their mine and source country of origin is a complex endeavor, but an important aspect of responsible sourcing. To help establish our supply chain sourcing programs, we have followed currently established industry guidelines, such as those developed by the EICC and the Global e-Sustainability Initiative ("GeSI"), which are taking action to address responsible sourcing through the development of the Conflict-Free Smelter ("CFS") program that enables companies to source minerals from conflict-free sources. The data on which we relied to determine the country of origin of the minerals was obtained through our membership in the CFSI, using the Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry report for member SMCI.

Facilities Used to Process the Conflict Minerals in Our Products

We procure server components from the following four major types of suppliers:

• Manufacturers or direct suppliers;

• Contract manufacturers producing items to match specifications and standards set by us;

• Distributors or resellers of manufactured components for other manufacturers; and

• Customers providing us certain parts and materials to be used to fulfill their orders.

Based on representations from these suppliers, we have determined that they obtain conflict minerals used in our products from the following types of processing facilities:

• Tin, Tungsten, Tantalum - From smelters which procure the relevant ore and then pass it through smelting and/ or refining, as applicable.

• Gold - From smelters/ refiners which either obtain gold from the mines or through recycling.

Exercise Due Diligence on the Source and Chain of Custody of Our Conflict Minerals Following Recognized Framework:

Due Diligence Framework

We have exercised due diligence on the source and chain of custody of the necessary conflict minerals used in our products to identify minerals originating from the Covered Countries that are not from scrap or recycled sources. The due diligence processes and efforts have been developed based on the five-step framework proposed by the OECD Guidance and the related supplements for gold, tin, tantalum and tungsten.

Our conflict minerals due diligence process includes:

• Establishment of strong company management systems;

• Identify and assess risks in the supply chain;

• Design and implement a strategy to respond to identified risks;

• Carry out independent third-party audit of smelter/refiner’s due diligence practices; and

• Report annually on supply chain due diligence.

Inherent Limitations on Due Diligence Measures

As a downstream purchaser of conflict minerals, our due diligence measures can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance regarding the source and chain of custody of the necessary conflict minerals. Our due diligence processes are based on the necessity of seeking data from our direct suppliers and those suppliers seeking similar information within their supply chains to identify the original sources of the necessary conflict minerals. We also rely, to a large extent, on information collected and provided by independent third party audit programs. Such sources of information, as well as our smelters, may yield inaccurate or incomplete information and may be subject to fraud.

Brief Description of Due Diligence Measures Taken

1.0Establishment of Strong Company Management Systems:

We have established a management system for complying with applicable conflict minerals reporting and disclosure rules. Our management system includes the development of a Conflict Minerals Oversight Committee led by our Senior VP of Operations, Senior VP and Chief Financial Officer and General Counsel, and a team of subject matter experts from relevant functions such as purchasing, quality compliance, finance, and legal. The team of subject matter experts is responsible for

6

implementing our conflict mineral compliance policy and strategy. The Oversight Committee is briefed periodically about the results of our due diligence efforts and reports periodically to the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors. We have provided training to all compliance team members. We have also engaged with our suppliers to enable them to train their employees regarding conflict minerals compliance and reporting processes and our policies.

2.0Identification and Assessment of Risks in the Supply Chain:

We have made reasonable efforts to identify suppliers that supply products that may potentially contain conflict minerals by conducting a supply chain survey using the EICC and GeSI Conflict Minerals Reporting Template; requesting our direct suppliers to identify smelters and refiners and countries of origin of the conflict minerals in products they supply to us; following up with direct suppliers that do not respond to the Conflict Minerals Reporting Template by requesting their responses; comparing smelters and refiners identified by our supply chain survey against the list of facilities that have received a “conflict-free” designation from the CFS Program, which designations provide country of origin; and maintaining documentation of reasonable efforts we have made to identify and assess supply chain risks. We have also reviewed the responses to identify potential red flags for further follow-up.

3.0Strategic Response to Identified Risks:

We have implemented a risk mitigation response plan to monitor and track suppliers, smelters and refiners identified as not meeting the requirements set forth in our Conflict Minerals Sourcing Policy or contractual requirements to determine their progress in meeting those requirements. We will continuously make reasonable efforts to encourage suppliers who are sourcing from non-conflict-free smelters to move towards the use of conflict-free smelters. If a supplier fails to remedy the risks identified by our compliance risk assessment, we will escalate the matter to the Conflict Minerals Oversight Committee to determine whether to approve or reject the supplier based on the following factors: a cost and benefit analysis; evaluation of potential risk factors; any existing competitive bids; and whether the supplier is a single source supplier to the Company. If the Oversight Committee decides to continue a business relationship with a non-compliant supplier due to inherent limitations of our supply chain, we will use reasonable efforts to follow up with the supplier for its correction plan, and encourage the supplier to work with smelters that are certified through CFSI's CFS program. We also provide periodic compliance updates or reports to our Conflict Minerals Oversight Committee summarizing our risk mitigation efforts.

4.0Independent 3^rd Party Audit of Smelter/Refiner’s Due Diligence Practices:

We do not have a direct relationship with 3TG smelters and refiners, nor do we perform direct audits of these entities that provide our supply chain the 3TG. However, we do rely upon industry efforts, including EICC and CFSI, to influence smelters and refiners to get audited and certified through CFSI’s CFS program.

5.0Annual report on Supply Chain Due Diligence:

In addition to this report, for further information about our Conflict Minerals policy, please see it at http://www.supermicro.com/about/policies/Supermicro_Conflict_Minerals_Statement.pdf.

Results of Due Diligence Measures Taken

Due to the level of complexity of our products and the respective supply chain, it will take additional time and resources for a number of our suppliers to verify the source mines and country of origin of all of the minerals used by their smelters. We are committed to continuing the use of our supply chain due diligence processes, leveraging the industry standard CFS program, and the ongoing update of our supplier RCOI information as we continue to develop additional transparency into our supply chain. However, as of the date of this filing, based on the performance of our due diligence procedures described above for the calendar year ended December 31, 2014, we are not able to accurately trace and identify the source mine, country of origin and chain of custody of the 3TG metals, which are necessary to the functionality or production of our products, or determine whether such 3TG metals, are procured from conflict free sources.
