INFORMATION TO BE INCLUDED IN THE REPORT

Section 1—Conflict Minerals Disclosure

Item 1.01 Conflict Minerals Disclosure and Report

LivaNova PLC, a public limited company incorporated under the laws of England and Wales (“LivaNova”) was formed for the purpose of facilitating the business combination of Cyberonics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Cyberonics”), and Sorin S.p.A., a joint stock company organized under the laws of Italy (“Sorin”). Cyberonics was considered the accounting acquirer and LivaNova PLC (“LivaNova”, “registrant”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) became the successor organization to Cyberonics. Per the instructions to Item 1.01 of the SEC’s Form SD, a “registrant that acquires or otherwise obtains control over a company that manufactures or contracts to manufacture products with conflict minerals necessary to the functionality or production of those products that previously had not been obligated to provide a specialized disclosure report with respect to its conflict minerals will be permitted to delay reporting on the products manufactured by the acquired company until the end of the first reporting calendar year that begins no sooner than eight months after the effective date of the acquisition.” As a result, LivaNova is filing this Specialized Disclosure Report on Form SD (this “Form SD”) for legacy Cyberonics’ supply chain operations for the year ended December 31, 2016. This Form SD is presented in compliance with Rule 13p-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, for the reporting period from January 1, 2016 to December 31, 2016.
