SECTION 1 – CONFLICT MINERALS DISCLOSURE

 

Item 1.01 Conflict Minerals Disclosure and Report

Cirrus Logic, Inc. (the “Company”) has evaluated its current product lines and determined that certain products that we manufactured, or contracted to manufacture, during calendar year 2016 use “conflict minerals” that are necessary to the functionality or production of those products. Conflict minerals are defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) as cassiterite, columbite-tantalite, gold, wolframite, or their derivatives, which are limited to tin, tantalum, tungsten, and gold (the “3TG” minerals). The Company conducted a good faith reasonable country of origin inquiry regarding those 3TG minerals to determine whether any of the 3TG minerals originated in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the Republic of the Congo, the Central African Republic, South Sudan, Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, Tanzania, Zambia, and Angola (the “Covered Countries”), and whether any of the 3TG minerals may be from recycled or scrap sources. Based on its inquiry, the Company undertook due diligence on the source or chain of custody of its 3TG minerals and filed a Conflict Minerals Report as Exhibit 1.01 to this Form SD. A copy of the Company’s Conflict Minerals Report, along with a copy of this Form SD, is publicly available online at www.cirrus.com/company/quality/corporate-compliance in the Corporate Compliance section of our website.

Conflict Minerals Report

For the Year Ended December 31, 2016

 

I. Introduction

This Conflict Minerals Report (the “Report”) has been prepared by Cirrus Logic, Inc. (the “Company”) pursuant to Rule 13p-1 and Form SD (the “Rule”), which were promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Report covers the reporting period January 1, 2016, to December 31, 2016. The Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) adopted the Rule in order to implement the reporting and disclosure requirements related to “conflict minerals” as directed by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010.

The Rule imposes certain reporting obligations on SEC registrants whose manufactured products contain certain specified materials that are necessary to the functionality or production of their products. The specified materials, which are collectively referred to as the “Conflict Minerals,” are defined by the SEC as cassiterite, columbite-tantalite, gold, wolframite, or their derivatives, which are limited to tin, tantalum, tungsten, and gold (the “3TG” minerals).

According to the Rule, if a registrant has reason to believe that any of the 3TG minerals in their supply chain may have originated in the Covered Countries, or if the registrant is unable to determine that the 3TG minerals either did not originate in the Covered Countries or were from recycled or scrap sources, then the issuer must exercise due diligence on the source and chain of custody of the 3TG minerals. The “Covered Countries” for the purposes of the Rule and this Report 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. The registrant must annually submit a report, a Conflict Minerals Report (the “CMR”), to the SEC that includes a description of those due diligence measures.

This Report has been prepared by management of the Company, and includes the activities of all majority-owned subsidiaries and entities that are required to be consolidated. The Company did not subject this Report to an independent private sector audit since we do not believe such an audit was required based on the guidance provided by the SEC.

Company Overview

The Company is a leader in high performance, low-power ICs for audio and voice signal processing applications. Our products span the entire audio signal chain, from capture to playback, providing innovative products for the world’s top smartphones, tablets, digital headsets, wearables and emerging smart home applications.


Description of the Company’s Products Covered by this Report

This Report relates to products: (i) for which 3TG minerals are necessary to the functionality or production of that product; (ii) that were manufactured, or contracted to be manufactured, by the Company; and (iii) for which the manufacture was completed during calendar year 2016. For purposes of this Report, we have determined the following products include 3TG minerals that are necessary to the functionality or production of their products: (1) integrated circuits and (2) development and evaluation boards (“Boards”) sold by the Company (collectively, the “Covered Products”).

 

II. Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry

The Company has conducted a good faith reasonable country of origin inquiry (“RCOI”) regarding the 3TG minerals. This RCOI was reasonably designed to determine whether any of the 3TG minerals originated in the Covered Countries and whether any of the 3TG minerals may be from recycled or scrap sources. To conduct the RCOI, we requested our suppliers to report the origin of the 3TG minerals used in the manufacture of our products. Specifically, suppliers were expected to utilize the Conflict Free Sourcing Initiative (CFSI) Conflict Minerals Reporting Template to report on the use of 3TG minerals used in the manufacture of our products.

Annex I includes a summary of the country of origin information collected as a result of our RCOI. The data on which we relied for certain statements in this report was obtained through our membership in the CFSI, using the Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry report for member “CRUS.”

 

III. Due Diligence Design and Performance

 

1. Due Diligence Design:

Our due diligence measures have been designed to conform with the framework provided by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (“OECD”) Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas (the “OECD Guidance”).

In conjunction with its due diligence process, the Company has adopted a policy relating to 3TG minerals (the “Company Policy”), incorporating the standards set forth in the OECD Guidance. The Company Policy states that we expect our suppliers to source materials from environmentally and socially responsible supply chains. In addition, the Company Policy states that our suppliers must report at least annually the origin of the 3TG minerals used in the manufacture of our products. As outlined in the OECD Guidance, we also participate in groups and forums focused on responsible sourcing of the 3TG minerals, including the Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition (EICC) and the Global e-Sustainability Initiative (GeSI) Conflict Free Smelter (CFS) program, which audits smelters’ and refiners’ due diligence activities.


Summarized below are the design components of our conflict minerals program as they relate to the five-step framework as provided by the OECD Guidance:

 

    Establishment of a strong company management system through:
    The adoption of a Conflict Minerals Policy;
    The establishment of an internal team of subject matter experts that includes members of our supply chain, purchasing, legal, and quality organizations, and is managed by our General Counsel;
    The institution of processes for new suppliers of our integrated circuits whereby conflict mineral conformance is discussed during initial business reviews;
    The inclusion of a flow-down clause in new or renewed supplier contracts relating to the sourcing of 3TG minerals;
    The requirement that our integrated circuit suppliers abide by the Cirrus Logic Supplier Code of Conduct, which is based on the EICC Code of Conduct;
    Participation in CFSI initiatives; and
    The provision of multiple communication channels to serve as grievance mechanisms for early warning risk awareness, including the availability of an anonymous reporting hotline available for reporting possible violations of the Company’s policies.

 

    Identification and assessment of risks in the supply chain by:
    Identifying first-tier suppliers to engage in our due diligence efforts;
    Conducting a survey of our direct supply chain using the template known as the CFSI Conflict Minerals Reporting template (CMRT);
    Reviewing and validating smelter information provided by suppliers and working with our supply chain to correct any inaccuracies in reporting;
    Comparing the smelters identified by our suppliers against lists of smelters certified as conflict free through the Conflict Free Smelter Program;
    Identifying smelter usage by greatest risk and prioritizing efforts, if any, associated with our due diligence with those smelters; and
    Participating in the CFSI as a member of the smelter engagement team, which assists in efforts to encourage smelter participation in CFSI’s Conflict-Free Smelter Program (“CFSP”).

 

    Design and implement a strategy to respond to identified risks by:
    Responding to risks identified in the supply chain by confirming that all smelters identified in survey responses from our suppliers have been verified by the CFSP;


    Asserting leverage on our upstream suppliers through contractual obligations and requirements to comply with our Supplier Code of Conduct, which is based on the EICC Code of Conduct and includes provisions requiring responsible sourcing of conflict minerals;
    Reporting on a quarterly basis to senior management, including the Company’s Vice President of Supply Chain, Vice President of Corporate Quality, and General Counsel, the status and findings derived from our due diligence efforts;
    Informing the Company’s Audit Committee yearly on our due diligence activities and Conflict Minerals Report;
    Designing and implementing training or recommendations for relevant first tier suppliers to improve their systems of transparency and control; and
    Communicating our Conflict Minerals Policy to suppliers.

 

    Auditing supply chain due diligence by:
    Requesting our suppliers to report to us using an industry-developed audit program through CFSI that is administered by independent third-party auditors;
    Assessing the conflict minerals processes, procurement, and documentation of our suppliers; and
    Supporting efforts to determine mine or location of origin of conflict minerals through CFSI as described on the CFSI website at http://www.conflictfreesourcing.org.

 

    Reporting on supply chain due diligence:
    Communicate our Conflict Minerals Policy on our website.
    Report annually our Specialized Disclosure Report on Form SD and Conflict Mineral Report filed with the SEC and publicly communicated on our website.

 

2. Due Diligence Measures Performed:

The Company exercised due diligence on the source and chain of custody of the 3TG minerals. Below is a description of the measures we performed for this reporting period to exercise due diligence on the source and chain of custody of the necessary conflict minerals contained in or product which we had reason to believe may have originated from the Covered Countries and may not have come from recycled or scrap sources:

 

    Communicated our Conflict Minerals Policy to our suppliers;
    Conducted a supply-chain survey of 13 direct suppliers of our integrated circuit products using the CFSI’s CMRT, requesting information regarding the necessary conflict minerals and identification of smelter and refiners that process such minerals;


    Conducted a supply-chain survey of 28 suppliers of our Boards using the CFSI’s CMRT, requesting the necessary conflict minerals and identification of smelter and refiners that process such minerals;
    Received responses to surveys from 100% of our suppliers with respect to our integrated circuits;
    Received responses to surveys from approximately 89% of our Board suppliers;
    Reviewed survey data for completeness, and contacted those suppliers that we identified as having contained incomplete or potentially inaccurate information to seek additional clarifying information;
    Compared smelters identified by our suppliers against lists of smelters certified as conflict free through the Conflict Free Smelter Program; and
    Conducted Conflict Minerals Program Assessments of 12 suppliers, focusing on the due diligence processes and policies of certain direct suppliers of our integrated circuit products.

 

IV. Results of Due Diligence Measures

Based on our due diligence efforts as it relates to our integrated circuits, we identified the facilities set forth in Annex II that could potentially have produced the necessary 3TG minerals in our products. Of the 181 smelters that we identified, 18 were believed to potentially be sourcing from the Covered Countries. However, none of the smelters identified in our supply chain are known to us as sourcing 3TG minerals that directly or indirectly finance or benefit armed groups in the DRC or adjoining countries. In Annex II, we have indicated the facilities identified in our supply chain as of May 12, 2017.

Based on our due diligence efforts as it relates to our Boards, we identified the facilities set forth in Annex III that could potentially have produced the necessary 3TG minerals in our products. Of the 243 identified smelters, 24 were believed to be sourcing from Covered Countries. Although none of the smelters identified in our supply chain are known to us as sourcing 3TG minerals that directly or indirectly finance or benefit armed groups in the DRC or adjoining countries, only 228 (or 94%) of the identified smelters successfully passed the CSFI audit. In Annex III, we have indicated the facilities identified in our supply chain for Boards as of May 12, 2017.

 

V. Inherent Limitations and Risks with our Due Diligence Measures

The vast majority of our products that we sell are integrated circuits. We employ a “fabless” model for the manufacture, assembly, and test of our integrated circuits. We do not own or operate our own foundries or manufacturing facilities, and therefore, outsource our integrated circuit manufacturing to third-party foundries, primarily in Asia. We also outsource all product assembly, packaging and testing of our products to several assembly and test subcontractors in Asia.


Because of our fabless manufacturing strategy and our process for acquiring components for our Boards, our due diligence efforts can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance regarding the source and chain of custody for the necessary conflict minerals in the products that we sell. Our supply chain is complex, and there are multiple tiers between our company and the mine that ultimately supplies 3TG materials. Given our place in the supply chain, we have no direct relationships with smelters and refiners, and therefore, possess no independent means of determining the source and origin of conflict mineral ores processed by smelters and refiners. Our due diligence processes are based on the necessity of seeking data from our suppliers and component manufacturers, who similarly rely on 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 may yield inaccurate or incomplete information and may be subject to fraud.

In addition, for Boards, which generates less than 1% of our revenue, we acquire components from various suppliers, upon whom we rely to perform their own due diligence with respect to the source of materials in those components. With respect to our due diligence efforts as it relates to Boards, many of the responses that we received were incomplete and/or failed to provide data at a product level. Therefore, the data and the results reported for Boards that we sell are incomplete.

 

VI. Future Steps to Mitigate Risks

Based on our efforts to collect data, we believe the main risks that we have identified are related to the lack of data and the quality of data, particularly with respect to our Boards. We intend to take the following steps to improve the due diligence conducted to further mitigate any risk that the necessary 3TG minerals in our products could benefit armed groups in the DRC or adjoining countries:

 

a. Continue to engage with suppliers and direct them to training resources to attempt to increase the response rate and improve the content of the supplier survey responses, particularly with the suppliers of components for our Boards;
b. Incorporate conflict minerals data review as part of our annual quality audits that we perform on 100% of our subcontractors associated with the manufacture of our integrated circuit products;
d. Continue participation with CFSI to expand the smelter and refiners participating in the Conflict Free Smelter Program; and
e. Continue to work with the OECD or relevant trade associations to define and improve best practices and encourage responsible sourcing of 3TG minerals in accordance with the OECD Guidance.
