Exhibit 1.01

Conflict Minerals Report of
Gilat Satellite Networks Ltd.
 
                                           For the Year Ended December 31, 2019

Introduction
 
We are filing this report for the year ended December 31, 2019 pursuant to Rule 13p-1 (the “Rule”) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Rule was adopted by the U.S. 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 (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”) for the purpose of this assessment.

If a registrant has reason to believe that any of the conflict minerals in its supply chain may have originated in the Democratic Republic of the Congo or an adjoining country (the “Covered Countries”), or if it is unable to determine the country of origin of those conflict minerals, then the registrant must exercise due diligence on the conflict minerals’ source and chain of custody. The registrant must annually submit the SEC a Conflict Minerals Report that includes a description of those due diligence measures.

As permitted by the Rule and the SEC, this report has not been subject to an independent private sector audit.

1.
Company Overview
 
We are a leading global provider of broadband satellite communication and networking products and services.

The information includes the activities of all majority-owned subsidiaries and variable interest entities that are required to be consolidated. It does not include the activities of variable interest entities that are not required to be consolidated.



3.
Supply Chain Overview

Our supply chain is complex. There are multiple tiers between our company and the sources of the 3TG minerals.  Accordingly, we rely on our direct suppliers to provide information on the origin of the 3TG minerals contained in components which are included in our products.

4.
Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry (RCOI)
 
We have conducted a Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry (“RCOI”) to determine whether any of the necessary 3TG minerals originated in Covered Countries and found that the 3TG minerals can be found in our products and are necessary to the functionality or production of those products. Therefore, we are subject to the reporting obligations of the Rule.

Due to the breadth and complexity of our products and supply chain, it will take time for many of our suppliers to verify the origin of all of the conflict minerals used in our products. Using our supply chain due diligence processes, we are working to develop transparency into our supply chain and drive accountability within the supply chain by employing the EICC/GeSI Responsible Minerals Initiative (formerly the Conflict Free Sourcing Initiative) (the “RMI”) and by continuing our outreach efforts.

The methods we used to try to determine the origin of 3TG minerals in our products included:


sending letters to our direct suppliers, explaining the rule and referring the suppliers to online training materials and instructions;

soliciting survey responses from relevant suppliers of components of our products, using the standard Conflict Minerals Reporting Template designed by the RMI; and

reviewing responses that we received from our suppliers and following up on inconsistent, incomplete and evident inaccurate responses.
 
5.
Design of Our Due Diligence
 
Based on the findings of our RCOI, we designed our due-diligence process based on the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development’s (“OECD”) publication “OECD (2016), OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas: Third Edition, OECD Publishing, Paris. http://dx.doi.org/10.1787/9789264252479-en (the “OECD Guidance”) and the related supplements for 3TG minerals.

6.
Due Diligence
 
The design of the due diligences processes conforms substantially to the OECD Guidance as it relates to “downstream” purchasers of products and components. The due diligence processes have been described below under sub-headings corresponding to the five-step framework of the OECD Guidance. Our due diligence was conducted during the year ended December 31, 2019 and through April 2020.

6.1
Establish Strong Company Management Systems


reviewing the Company’s Conflict Minerals Policy first adopted during 2014, which is posted on our website at  https://www.gilat.com/about-gilat/corporate-responsibility/;

establishing a team with cross functional members and senior executives;

communicating expectations to our direct suppliers concerning performance, transparency and sourcing of materials and components containing 3TG minerals;

providing our direct suppliers with educational materials about our reporting obligations imposed by Form SD and the SEC regarding 3TG minerals; and

retaining relevant documentation in an electronic database for at least five years.

2


6.2
Identify and assess risks in the supply chain
 
Because of our size, the breadth and complexity of our products and the constant evolution of our supply chain, it is difficult to identify actors downstream from our direct suppliers. Such difficulty affects our ability to complete an accurate database.
We conducted a supply-chain survey with direct suppliers of materials containing Conflict Minerals using the Conflict Minerals Reporting Template to identify the smelters or refiners (“SORs”).

As part of our risk based approach, we chose to focus our efforts on first priority suppliers that were selected based on our purchasing spend. The first priority suppliers cover 90% of our suppliers’ spend.

6.3
Design and Implement a Strategy to Respond to Identified Risks
 
We report the findings of the supply chain risk assessment to our senior management.

We internally report certain suppliers identified as high risk to relevant personnel for follow up actions, such as, contacting such suppliers whose responses were identified as incomplete, inconsistent or inaccurate.

We compare SORs identified by the supply chain survey against the list of facilities issued by the RMI that have received a “conflict free” validation.

6.4
Carry out independent third-party audit of SORs’ due diligence practices
 
We do not have a direct relationship with 3TG SORs, nor do we perform direct audits of the other entities in our supply chain. Therefore, our direct and upstream suppliers are in a better position to identify SORs within the supply chain. As a result, our due diligence efforts rely on cross-industry initiatives such as those led by the RMI.

In our due diligence process, we utilize the Conflict Minerals Reporting Template designed by the RMI.

6.5  Report Annually on Supply Chain Due Diligence
 
In addition to our ongoing communications with our customers who are engaged in their own RCOI and due diligence processes, we currently, subject to SEC guidelines, report annually on our supply chain due diligence through Form SD. Our reports on Form SD are publicly available at http://www.gilat.com/

7.        Results of assessment

The following factors materially affect our results of assessment:

 
 
we are dependent on information received from our direct suppliers to conduct our good faith RCOI process;

 
 
 
we do not have a direct relationship with 3TG SORs, nor do we perform direct audits of the other entities in our supply chain;
 
we have a varied supplier base with differing levels of resources and sophistication, and many of our suppliers are not themselves subject to the Rule;
 
3


 
 
the information our suppliers provided was sometimes incomplete and required significant follow-up;
 
 
 
most of suppliers provided responses at a company or divisional level, and not at a product level specific to the materials and components we use in the subject products
 
 
 
certain suppliers were unable or unwilling to specify the SORs used for materials and components supplied to us;
 
 
 
 
our ability to influence cooperation from certain suppliers was limited when we were multiple tiers away from the SOR in the supply chain; and
 
the information gathered from our suppliers is not obtained on a continuous, real-time basis.

The suppliers we contacted were the direct suppliers for our products that are within the scope of the RCOI, which account for 90% of our spending on supplies. Despite our efforts to follow up with suppliers, we did not receive responses from all suppliers, and the suppliers who responded showed varying degrees of cooperation with our inquiries.  We received responses from 84% of such suppliers to date indicating that they either provided conflict free minerals or that they are unsure of the origin of the source of the 3TG minerals that they supplied to us.
 
Based on the information obtained pursuant to the good faith RCOI and due diligence processes described above, for the reporting period, we do not have sufficient information to determine the country of origin of all of the 3TG minerals we use to manufacture products and thus are unable to determine whether any of the 3TG minerals originated in the Covered Countries and, if so, whether the 3TG minerals were from recycled or scrap sources, financed conflict in the Covered Countries or did not finance conflict in the Covered Countries. Therefore, as explained, we have not been able to identify all of the SORs from which our suppliers sourced the 3TG minerals.
 
We identified through our good faith RCOI and related due diligence a total of 331 SORs, out of which  267 are either verified by RMI as conflict-free or are in the audit process.

SORs verified by RMI as conflict-free or in audit process:
