BIOLASE, Inc

Conflict Minerals Report

For the year ended December 31, 2018

Introduction

This Conflict Minerals Report (“CMR”) for Biolase, Inc. (the “Company”, “we”, or “our”) for the calendar year ended December 31, 2018 was prepared in accordance with Rule 13p-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Rule 13p-1”). Terms used and not defined in this report have the meanings ascribed in Form SD as adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) pursuant to the Rule.

Rule 13p-1 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”). Rule 13p-1 imposes certain reporting obligations on SEC registrants whose manufactured products contain conflict minerals that are necessary to the functionality or production of their products. For the purposes of this assessment, conflict minerals are defined as Tantalum, Tin, Tungsten, and Gold (“3TG”). These requirements apply to registrants, regardless of the geographic origin of the conflict minerals and whether or not they fund armed conflict.

The Company’s CMR for the calendar year ended December 31, 2018 was not subject to an independent private sector audit.

Design and Execution of Due Diligence

As part of the RCOI described in Form SD, the Company performed a supplier survey using the Conflict Free Sourcing Initiative (“CFSI”) Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (the “CFSI Template”) for the year ending December 31, 2018. All suppliers providing components used in our products were included in the survey utilized for both RCOI and Due Diligence. The information obtained in the survey indicated that there was reason to believe that a portion of the 3TG used in our products may have originated in the Covered Countries and were not exclusively from scrap or recycled sources, triggering the due diligence steps described in the following sections.

The Company designed and implemented the majority of our due diligence measures prior to the current reporting year 2018. These measures were continued during 2018 and are described herein. They are designed to conform, in all material respects, to the framework in The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (“OECD”) Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas including the Supplement on Tin, Tantalum and Tungsten, as well as those portions of the OECD Supplement on Gold applicable to downstream companies (collectively the “OECD Guidance”). In accordance with the five step OECD Guidance, our measures are designed to determine, to the best of our ability, the source and chain of custody of the 3TG materials necessary for the functionality and/or production of our products, to ascertain if the materials originated in one of the Covered Countries, and if so, whether armed groups directly or indirectly benefited as a result.

1: Establish company management systems

The Company undertook the following measures to establish management systems to address compliance with Rule 13p-1:

 

The Company has established a Conflict Minerals Policy (“CMP”) that has been posted on its website at: www.biolase.com under “Investor Relations” in “Corporate Governance” in “Conduct.” The Company also has a Supplier Survey/Certification Form and a Supplier Code of Conduct. The Supplier Code of Conduct includes a mechanism for escalating any issues and concerns.

 

The Company has established a management system for complying with the applicable rules. The management system includes the development of a Conflict Minerals Task Force led by our Chief Financial Officer and a team of subject matter experts from relevant functions including, purchasing, quality assurance, manufacturing, and finance.

 

The Company has inserted a clause on conflict minerals in all new supplier certification forms, as well as revising existing supplier certification forms for in-scope suppliers to include the clause. The clause requires each supplier to use its best endeavors to determine the origin of conflict minerals through the use of OECD guidance.

 

The Company has established its due diligence compliance process and set forth documentation and record maintenance mechanism to ensure the retaining of relevant documentation in a structured electronic database.


 

The Company has also created internal follow-up processes (including e-mail communication and direct contact by telephone) to identify and escalate any identified issues associated with non-responsive or problematic responses to its RCOI.

 

The Company establishes and maintains long term relationships with the majority of its suppliers to improve due diligence performance.

2: Identify and assess risks in the supply chain

The Company took the following measures to identify risks in our supply chain:

 

Conducted a supplier survey of all suppliers providing products or components within scope of Rule 13p-1, necessary for the functionality of the Company’s products and likely to contain 3TG. The survey was based on the Electronics Industry Citizenship Coalition (“EICC”) and the Global eSustainability Initiative (“GeSI”) Conflict Minerals Reporting Template created by the Electronics Industry Citizenship Coalition (“EICC”) and the GeSI as a common means for the collection of sourcing information related to necessary conflict minerals in our products. The survey also included information to inform the suppliers of the Company’s Conflict Minerals Rule reporting obligations as well as the assistance required from our supply chain, and the resulting expectations for the sourcing of conflict minerals.

 

Suppliers of in-scope products are required to complete the CFSI Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (the “CFSI Template”) on an annual basis. The CFSI Template was developed to facilitate disclosure and communication of information regarding Smelters or Refiners (“SORs”) that provide material to a company’s supply chain. It includes questions regarding a company’s conflict-free policy, engagement with its direct suppliers, and a listing of the SORs the Company and its suppliers use. In addition, the CFSI Template contains questions about the origin of conflict minerals included in suppliers’ products, as well as supplier due diligence.

 

Reviewed and assessed survey responses. Followed up with suppliers whose responses were incomplete or appeared to report inconsistent information.

 

When a supplier response stated that conflict minerals were sourced from the Covered Countries and identified the SORs involved, the Company compared the identified SORs to the CFSI’s Conflict Free Smelter Program list to identify those validated by an independent third-party audit under the Conflict Free Smelter Program and those not validated.  

3: Design and implement a strategy to respond to identified risks

The Company designed and implemented strategies to respond to identified risks, including the following:

 

Developed a Risk Management Plan, which includes a training program to ensure suppliers understand the Company’s expectations as it relates to 3TG.

 

When applicable, the Company will work with suppliers who are sourcing from non-Conflict Free SORs to facilitate a transition to using Conflict Free SORs within a reasonable time frame. The time frame will be dependent on the criticality of the specific part and the availability of alternative suppliers.

 

Sent follow-up communications to suppliers that provided incomplete or inconsistent survey responses. Requested suppliers submitting letters of conflict “status” to complete our survey to collect additional relevant information.

 

Suppliers who received one of these follow-up communications were directed to our Policy Statement, as well as conflict minerals training and education materials. Suppliers were asked to review the materials and provide updated information in a timely manner.

 

Suppliers who did not respond to our initial survey were sent escalation communications requesting that they respond to the survey and provide the requested information. Several unresponsive suppliers were engaged directly by our sourcing personnel to advise them to complete our requested survey to the best of their ability.

4: Carry out independent third-party audit of Smelter or Refiner due diligence practices

The Company is a downstream consumer of the necessary conflict minerals in our products and are many steps removed from SORs who provide minerals and ores. Our due diligence efforts rely on cross-industry initiatives to implement validation of Covered Countries conflict free SORs as outlined in OECD Guidance for downstream companies. As such, the Company does not perform or direct audits of SORs within the supply chain, rather it relied on the results of audits conducted by Conflict-Free Smelter Program to determine SORs due diligence practices.


5: Report annually on supply chain due diligence

In accordance with the Rule 13p-1, our Form SD, along with a copy of this CMR constitute the Company’s annual report on our Conflict Minerals Due Diligence. These have been filed with the SEC and are available on our website at ww.biolase.com under “Investor Relations” in “SEC Filings.”

Due Diligence Results

For the calendar year ended December 31, 2018, the Company surveyed its entire known component and outsourced manufacturing supply chain, which consisted of 204 suppliers, with a 98% response rate. Of those suppliers, 177 reported that conflict minerals are not intentionally added to their products, are not necessary to the production of their products or are not contained in the finished products that they manufacture or contract to manufacture. With respect to the remaining 25 suppliers within the scope of the RCOI, the large majority provided data at a company, division or product category level, including 15 suppliers that identified as conflict free using the CFSI Template, 7 suppliers that were uncertain as to the country of origin of conflict minerals in their supply chain and/or were unable to specify the SORs that processed conflict minerals in materials or components supplied to us, and 3 suppliers that stated they sourced 3TG from the Covered Countries, from other than scrap or recycled sources, and named SORs who have not yet completed a Conflict Free Smelter Program or cross recognized audit validating a conflict free process. Two suppliers within the scope of the RCOI did not respond.

With respect to the 7 suppliers who were uncertain of the country of origin or the 3 suppliers who sourced conflict minerals from the Covered Countries, from other than scrap or recycled sources, and identified the SORs involved, all such responses provided data at a company level. As a result, we were not able to determine whether the specific conflict minerals from such suppliers that were sourced from the Covered Countries were included in components or materials we obtained from the suppliers and used in our products.

During due diligence, the Company noted 431 companies identified by CFSI as known SORs, which are potentially included in our supply chain. Of the identified SORs, 364 are compliant or active with CFSI’s Conflict Free Smelter Program list and considered to be conflict free or are participating in one of the cross-recognized certifications programs. With respect to the other 67, CFSI has not provided an opinion as whether or not the minerals procured from these SORs originate from the Covered Countries. Refer to Table I for a listing of all identified SORs potentially in our supply chain, along with facility locations, and the conflict free status.

Based on the results of the due diligence measures described above, the Company has been unable to determine with 100% certainty the country of origin of the necessary conflict minerals, the mine or location of origin of the necessary conflict minerals in our products, or the facilities used to process the necessary conflict minerals in our products.  Due to this the Company has not been found to be ‘DRC conflict free’.

Continuous Improvement Efforts to Mitigate Risk

The Company expects to take the following steps, among others, to improve our due diligence measures and to further mitigate the risk that necessary conflict minerals contained in our products may finance or benefit armed groups in the Covered Countries:

 

Continue to educate our direct suppliers about our reporting obligations related to conflict minerals, and continue to provide our direct suppliers with educational materials and website links that they may provide to their own suppliers.

 

Encourage our direct suppliers to implement responsible sourcing and ask them to encourage SORs to become certified as conflict-free.

 

When the complexity of our data collection process requires it, evaluate new systems for the collection and management of conflict minerals reporting data.


Table I. Smelters or Refiners List

List and status of SORs are as of May 31, 2019 and status data is from CFSI. The list includes 431 recognized SORs that are either known to obtain at least some minerals from the Covered Countries or are SORs where the source of the minerals was not disclosed and could not be determined. It does not include those SORs that source only from outside the Covered Countries as determined through RCOI, or process only recycled or scrap materials. “Country” refers to the location of the facility, not the source of minerals.  The smelter location was not used for RCOI, since it does not necessarily determine the source of the ore, although location near abundant mineral resources can be an indicator of mineral sourcing.
