SEC Conflict Minerals Report - Exhibit 1.01
Avid Technology, Inc. Conflict Minerals Report
For The Year Ended December 31, 2020

Introduction


Avid Technology, Inc., also referred to as “Avid”, “we”, “our”, and “us” is a leading provider of digital media content-creation products and solutions for audio, film, video, and broadcast professionals, as well as artists and creative enthusiasts. Some of the products that Avid manufactures include conflict minerals that are necessary to such products’ functionality, and Avid has thus reviewed information regarding the sourcing of such minerals.

This Conflict Minerals Report (“CMR”) for the year ended December 31, 2020 is presented to comply with Rule 13p-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Rule”). The Rule imposes certain reporting obligations on U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) issuers whose manufactured products contain certain minerals which are necessary to the functionality or production of their products. These minerals are cassiterite, columbite-tantalite (coltan), gold, wolframite, and their derivatives, which are limited to tin, tantalum and tungsten (“3TG” or “Conflict Minerals”). The Rule focuses on 3TG emanating from the Democratic Republic of the Congo (“DRC”) region and nine adjoining countries (together, the “Covered Countries”). If an issuer has reason to believe that any of the Conflict Minerals in their supply chain may have originated in the Covered Countries, or if they are unable to determine the country of origin of those Conflict Minerals, then the issuer must exercise due diligence on the Conflict Minerals’ source and chain of custody and submit a CMR to the SEC that includes a description of those due diligence measures.

This CMR relates to the process undertaken for Avid products that were manufactured, or contracted to be manufactured, during calendar year 2020 and that contain Conflict Minerals.

Executive Summary

Avid performed a Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry (RCOI) on suppliers believed to provide Avid with materials or components containing 3TGs necessary to the manufacturing of Avid’s products. Avid’s suppliers identified 317 valid smelters and refineries (“smelters”). Of these 317 smelters, Avid identified 40 as sourcing (or there was a reason to believe they may be sourcing) from the DRC or adjoining countries (collectively called the ‘Covered Countries’). Avid’s due diligence review indicated that 33 of these smelters have been audited and are conformant to the Responsible Minerals Assurance Process (“RMAP”). The remaining 7 smelters were subject to Avid’s risk mitigation process according to the OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chain of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas (OECD Due Diligence Guidance).

Company Management Systems

Avid established strong management systems according to Step 1 of the OECD Due Diligence Guidance. Avid’s systems included
Step 1A - Adopt, and clearly communicate to suppliers and the public, a company policy for the supply chain of minerals originating from conflict-affected and high-risk areas.
Implemented a conflict minerals policy
Policy made publicly available
http://ir.avid.com/static-files/4a404323-e15f-4f55-9b51-aa4a370634ec
Policy communicated directly to suppliers as part of RCOI process
Step 1B - Structure internal management to support supply chain due diligence
Maintained an internal cross functional team to support supply chain due diligence



Appointed a member of the senior staff with the necessary competence, knowledge, and experience to oversee supply chain due diligence
Applied the resources necessary to support the operation and monitoring of these processes including internal resources and external consulting support.
Step 1C - Establish a system of transparency, information collection and control over the supply chain
Implemented a process to collect required supplier and smelter RCOI and due diligence data. Full details on the supply chain data gathering are included in the RCOI and due diligence sections of this Report.
Step 1D - Strengthen company engagement with suppliers
Directly engaged suppliers during RCOI process.
Reviewed supplier responses as part of RCOI process.
Added conflict minerals compliance to new supplier contracts and Avid’s supplier code of conduct.
Implemented a plan to improve the quantity and quality of supplier and smelter responses year over year.
Step 1E - Establish a company and/or mine level grievance mechanism.
Recognized the RMAP’s three audit protocols for gold, tin/tantalum, and tungsten as valid sources of smelter or mine level grievances.
Avid’s ethics violations reporting system allows employees to voice confidentially without any fear of retribution, any concerns with the violations of the Avid’s conflict minerals policy

Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry (RCOI)

Avid designed its RCOI process in accordance with Step 2A and 2B of the OECD Due Diligence Guidance. Avid’s RCOI process involved two stages:

Stage 1 - Supplier RCOI (Step 2A of the OECD Due Diligence Guidance)
Stage 2 - Smelter RCOI (Step 2B of the OECD Due Diligence Guidance)

Supplier RCOI

Avid designed its supplier RCOI process to identify, to the best of Avid’s efforts, the smelters in Avid’s supply chain in accordance with Step 2A of the OECD Due Diligence Guidance. Avid’s supplier RCOI process for the 2020 reporting period included the following -

Developing a list of suppliers providing 3TG containing components to Avid.
Contacting each supplier and requesting the industry standard Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (“CMRT”) including smelter information.
Reviewing supplier responses for accuracy and completeness.
Amalgamating supplier provided smelters into a single unique list of smelters meeting the definition of a smelter under one of three industry recognized audit protocols.
Reviewing the final smelter list (and compared it to industry peers) to determine if Avid identified reasonably all of the smelters in their supply chain.

For the 2020 reporting period, Avid’s RCOI process was executed by Claigan Environmental Inc. (“Claigan”).

Avid’s suppliers identified 317 smelters in their supply chain. The specific list of smelters is included in the Smelter and Refineries section at the end of this report.

Smelter RCOI

Due to the overlap between supplier RCOI and smelter due diligence, the smelter RCOI process is summarized in the due diligence section of this report.




Due Diligence

Avid’s Due Diligence Process was designed in accordance with the applicable sections of Steps 2, 3, and 4 of the OECD Due Diligence Guidance.

Smelter RCOI and Due Diligence

Avid’s smelter RCOI and due diligence process were designed to

Identify the scope of the risk assessment of the mineral supply chain (OECD Step 2B).
Assess whether the smelters/refiners have carried out all elements of due diligence for responsible supply chains of minerals from conflict-affected and high-risk areas (OECD Step 2C).
Where necessary, carry out, including through participation in industry-driven programs, joint spot checks at the mineral smelter/refiner’s own facilities (OECD Step 2D).

Avid’s smelter RCOI and Due Diligence Process included the following -

For each smelter identified in Avid’s supply chain
Avid attempted direct engagement with the smelter to determine whether or not the smelter sources from the DRC or surrounding countries
For smelters that declared directly (e.g. email correspondence, publicly available conflict minerals policy, or information available on their website) or through their relevant industry association that they did not source from the DRC or surrounding countries, and were not conformant to the RMAP, Avid reviewed publicly available information to determine if there was any contrary evidence to the smelter’s declaration. The sources reviewed included
Public internet search (Google) of the facility in combination with each of the Covered Countries
Review of specific NGO publications. NGO publications reviewed included
Enough Project
Global Witness
Southern Africa Resource Watch
Radio Okapi
The most recent UN Group of Experts report on the DRC
For smelters that did not respond to direct engagement, Avid reviewed publicly available sources to determine if there was any reason to believe that the smelter may have sourced from the Covered Countries during the reporting period.
Avid reviewed the same sources as those used to compare against smelter sourcing declarations.
For high risk smelters (smelters that are sourcing from or there is reason to believe they may be sourcing from the Covered Countries and are not currently conformant to the RMAP), Avid communicates the risk to a designated member of senior management (OECD Step 3A) and conducts risk mitigation on the smelter according to OECD Step 3B.

For the 2020 reporting period, Avid’s smelter RCOI and Due Diligence process was executed by Claigan Environmental Inc. (Claigan).

Avid’s suppliers identified 317 smelters. Avid identified 40 smelters that source, or there is a reason to believe they may source, from the Covered Countries. Avid determined that 33 of these 40 smelters have been audited and conformant to the RMAP. Avid conducted risk mitigation on the remaining 7 smelters.

Risk Mitigation

Avid conducted risk mitigation on 7 smelters that were not recognized as conformant to the RMAP. Avid’s risk mitigation was designed in accordance with Step 3B of the OECD Due Diligence Guidance and was reported to the



VP Hardware Engineering, in accordance with Step 3A of the OECD Due Diligence Guidance. Avid’s risk mitigation process included the following -

Additional due diligence to determine if there was any reason to believe the smelter directly or indirectly finance or benefit armed groups in the DRC or adjoining countries.
Verifying with internal stakeholders and relevant suppliers whether 3TGs from the specific smelter were actually in Avid’s supply chain in the 2020 reporting period.
Direct engagement with the high-risk smelter to verify risk and to encourage the smelter to become conflict free.


Avid did not require the removal of the smelters subject to Avid’s risk mitigation process if there was no reason to believe they were directly or indirectly financing or benefitting armed groups in the DRC or adjoining countries.
These smelters are scheduled to be re-visited in the 2021 reporting period. This process is consistent with Step 3B of the OECD Due Diligence Guidance and helps prevent unnecessary boycotts of the DRC or adjoining countries.

Improvement Plan

Avid is taking and will continue to take the following steps to improve the due diligence conducted to further mitigate risk that the necessary conflict minerals in Avid’s products could directly or indirectly benefit or finance armed groups in the Covered Countries:

a.Including a conflict minerals clause in all new and renewing supplier contracts.
b.Continuing to drive our suppliers to obtain current, accurate, and complete information about the smelters in their supply chain.
c.Engaging smelters sourcing from the Covered Countries to be audited and conformant to a protocol recognized by the RMAP.
d.Follow up in 2021 on smelters requiring risk mitigation, but not removal from Avid’s supply chain.
