CONFLICT MINERALS REPORT OF CONTROL4 CORPORATION
FOR THE REPORTING PERIOD FROM JANUARY 1, 2017 TO DECEMBER 31, 2017
Background
This Conflict Minerals Report of Control4 Corporation (“Control4”) has been prepared pursuant to Rule 13p-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (17 CFR 240.13p-1) (the “Rule”) promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) to implement reporting and disclosure requirements related to how companies source certain minerals as directed by the Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (“Dodd-Frank Act”).
The Rule requires disclosure of certain information when a company manufactures or contracts to manufacture products and the minerals specified in the Rule are necessary to the functionality or production of those products. These specified minerals, which we collectively refer to in this Report as the “Conflict Minerals,” are gold, columbite-tantalite (coltan), cassiterite and wolframite, including their derivatives, namely tantalum, tin and tungsten. The “Covered Countries” for the purposes of the Rule and this Report are the Democratic Republic of the Congo and adjoining countries, namely the Republic of the Congo, the Central African Republic, South Sudan, Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, Tanzania, Zambia and Angola.
If Conflict Minerals are necessary to the functionality or production of products manufactured or contracted to be manufactured by a company, the company is required to conduct a good faith reasonable country of origin inquiry (“RCOI”) to determine whether any of the necessary Conflict Minerals in those products originated in the Covered Countries and whether any of the necessary Conflict Minerals may be from recycled or scrap sources. If, as a result of the RCOI, a company knows or has reason to believe that any of the necessary Conflict Minerals in its supply chain may have originated in the Covered Countries, and may not be from recycled or scrap sources, then the company must perform due diligence on the Conflict Minerals’ source and chain of custody.

Supply Chain Overview
Control4 does not directly manufacture any of its Covered Products, but instead relies on contract manufacturers to fabricate its products and their components. Thus, Control4 is completely removed from the sourcing and mining of Conflict Minerals. We do not purchase the Conflict Minerals directly from mines, smelters, or refiners. Control4’s supply chain with respect to the Covered Products is complex, and there are many third parties in the supply chain between the ultimate manufacture of the Covered Products and the original sources of the Conflict Minerals that are used to make the Covered Products’ component parts. Therefore, we must rely
on our contract manufacturers and suppliers to provide information regarding the origin of the Conflict Minerals in the Covered Products as explained in greater detail below.
Reasonable Country-of-Origin Inquiry and Due Diligence Performed
Control4 has conducted a good faith RCOI regarding the Conflict Minerals that was designed to determine whether any of the Conflict Minerals in the Covered Products originated in the Covered Countries and/or whether any of the Conflict Minerals may be from recycled or scrap sources. In order to conduct this RCOI, Control4 identified the suppliers providing products and components that may contain Conflict Minerals (the “Identified Suppliers”), and requested that each Identified Supplier complete and return the Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (“Template”) created by the Responsible Minerals Initiative (“RMI”), an initiative founded by the Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition and Global e-Sustainability Initiative, which provides a standardized method for companies to collect representations, statements and data from their suppliers related to the presence, use, source and chain of custody of the Conflict Minerals. As a result of the RCOI, Control4 has reason to believe that a portion of the Conflict Minerals in its Covered Products may have originated in the “Covered Countries” and that these necessary Conflict Minerals may not be from recycled or scrap sources, so Control4 also performed due diligence on the source and chain of custody of the necessary Conflict Minerals. Control4 designed its due diligence process based on the due diligence framework in 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: Third Edition, (the “OECD Framework”), taking into account Control4’s distance in the supply chain from the direct procurement of Conflict Minerals. We describe our due diligence process in greater detail below.
Description of Due Diligence Measures
Control4 integrated OECD’s Five-Step Framework into its due diligence measures as described below.
1. Establish Strong Company Management Systems
Control4 has a policy regarding Conflict Minerals that outlines its commitment to promote responsible sourcing practices and to promote the use of conflict-free minerals in our supply chain (the “Conflict Minerals Policy”). This policy is available on our website at http://www.control4.com/legal/conflict-minerals-policy. Control4 formed a cross-organizational committee (the “Committee”) to help us comply with our obligations under the Rule. The Committee includes representatives from our finance, legal, and supply chain teams. The Committee met periodically over the course of 2017 and the first part of 2018 to review Control4’s
supply chain with respect to our use of components containing Conflict Minerals in 2017. Members of Control4’s executive team have oversight authority for the work done by the Committee.
Committee members reviewed the Rule, the OECD Framework, and various other supplementary materials provided by third parties, including the Conflict-Free Smelter & Refiners information provided by RMI. The Committee was responsible for communicating with our suppliers in order to encourage reporting, including completing and returning the Template created by RMI. In addition, Control4 established an internal electronic database for maintenance of business records relating to Conflict Minerals due diligence, including supplier responses to our inquiries, as well as spreadsheets containing aggregate data and analysis.
If any investor has any concern about Control4’s Conflict Minerals Policy, they may contact Control4’s board of directors in the manner described at http://investor.control4.com/directors.cfm.
2. Identify and Assess Risk in the Supply Chain
As mentioned above, as the first step in the good faith RCOI and due diligence processes, Control4 identified the suppliers providing products and components that may contain Conflict Minerals (the “Identified Suppliers”), which excluded packaging suppliers and suppliers of other products which do not contain any components that could contain Conflict Minerals. We then sent a letter to each of our Identified Suppliers communicating Control4’s commitment to sourcing responsibly and outlining our expectation that they do the same.
Control4 requested that each Identified Supplier complete and return the Conflict Minerals Reporting Template, which provides a standardized method for companies to collect representations, statements and data from their suppliers related to the presence, use, source and chain of custody of the Conflict Mineral. We requested our Identified Suppliers to use the Template to identify the smelters and refiners in the supply chain, as well as the country and mine of origin, of the Conflict Minerals used in our Covered Products. To help suppliers understand Control4’s expectations, and to facilitate supplier responsiveness to Control4’s inquiry, Control4 provided detailed instructions on completing the Template with specific references to the information that we need to see in the Template.
A total of 111 out of 232 suppliers were classified as Identified Suppliers and were contacted as part of the due diligence process. Out of 111 Identified Suppliers, Control4 has received responses from 87 of the Identified Suppliers. In instances where an Identified Supplier failed to return a completed Template, committee members had follow-up discussions and/or sent
repeat requests to insist on completion of the Template. While we have seen some improvement in both the response rate and the quality of our Identified Suppliers’ responses over time, even after providing our suppliers with explanatory materials, instructions and/or follow-up, in a number of instances Control4 received incomplete information regarding the facilities utilized to process necessary Conflict Minerals in supplier parts, as well as insufficient information regarding the mines or sources of origin of those Conflict Minerals. Some Identified Suppliers continued to respond generally on a company-wide basis when a more tailored response would have been more appropriate.
Control4 has not conducted its own supply chain audits, but rather, has relied on the information provided by the Responsible Minerals Assurance Process (“RMAP”) developed by the RMI to help assess the due diligence conducted by the identified smelters and refiners and to assess or verify their conformant status. The RMAP identifies smelters and refiners that an independent third-party audit has confirmed comply with the RMAP’s assessment protocols to assure sourcing of only conflict-free minerals. In particular, we compared the smelters and refiners used by our Identified Suppliers against the list of smelter and refinery facilities that received a “conformant” designation through the RMAP.
3. Design and Implement a Strategy to Respond to Risk
Through its Conflict Minerals Policy, contractual provisions in our supplier agreements requiring that our suppliers comply with all applicable conflict mineral laws, and interaction with its Identified Suppliers, Control4 encourages its Identified Suppliers to promote responsible sourcing practices for any Conflict Minerals used in our Covered Products. Control4 determines on a case-by-case basis the appropriate risk mitigation strategy for any supply chain risks identified in the course of its due diligence efforts. Potential outcomes typically include continuing to work with the supplier while risks are addressed, but could also include looking for alternative sources and restricting or terminating our relationship with the supplier. As we assess these relationships, we also take additional factors into consideration including supplier size and capabilities, whether alternatives are reasonable and economically available, transition costs and Control4’s dependence on the Identified Supplier.
4. Independent Third-Party Audit of Smelter/Refiner’s Due Diligence Practices
Control4 does not have any direct relationships with any smelters or refiners in its supply chain, and it did not perform or direct audits of any entity within its supply chain. As an alternative, the Company has relied on publicly available information, including principally information provided by the RMAP, an independent third-party audit program.
5. Report on Supply Chain Due Diligence
As required under the Rule, Control4 has timely filed our Form SD with the SEC for the 2017 Reporting Period, which contains this Report as an exhibit, and we have posted this Report on our website, see a link to this document on our Conflict Minerals Policy page at https://www.control4.com/legal/conflict-minerals-policy.
Due Diligence Outcome
Based on the information gathered in connection with our due diligence efforts, given that not all smelters identified by our Identified Suppliers were certified as “conformant” by the RMAP and that a number of Identified Supplier responses regarding the sources of raw materials for the Covered Products were determined to be uncertain, or unknown, overbroad, incomplete, or potentially inclusive of Covered Countries, Control4 cannot conclude that Conflict Minerals in Covered Products did not finance or benefit, directly or indirectly, armed groups in the Covered Countries.
The statements above are based on the RCOI process and due diligence performed in good faith by Control4 as described above, but as noted, Control4 is a downstream entity, and does not purchase Conflict Minerals directly from mines, smelters or refiners. Tracing these minerals to their sources is a challenge that requires Control4 to rely on its Identified Suppliers in its efforts to achieve supply chain transparency. A number of factors could introduce errors or otherwise affect this Report. These factors include, but are not limited to, incomplete supplier, product or product content information, gaps in Identified Suppliers’ data, gaps in smelter data, errors or omissions by Identified Suppliers in their reporting, failure to accurately identify all Identified Suppliers and the appropriate persons to contact at each Identified Supplier, errors or omissions by smelters, gaps in supplier education and knowledge, lack of timeliness of data, public information not discovered during a reasonable search, errors in public data, language barriers and translation, supplier and smelter unfamiliarity with the protocol, oversights or errors in conflict-free smelter audits, Covered Countries sourced materials being declared secondary materials, and smuggling of the Conflict Minerals to countries beyond the Covered Countries.
Identified Smelters and Refiners
While some of Control4’s Identified Suppliers provided information for the particular products they supply to Control4, the majority provided this information on a company-wide basis. When the Identified Suppliers provided product-level information, Control4 has listed in Schedule 1 of this Report the smelters or refiners identified. However, with the exception of our largest supplier, Sanmina Corporation, which Control4 determined should also be included because of the
large number of products they supply to Control4, when the Identified Suppliers provided only company-level information, Control4 determined that it did not have sufficient information to reasonably identify the particular smelter or refiner that processed the Conflict Minerals contained in the particular type of component in the Covered Products, and thus did not include the smelters or refiners in Schedule 1. In addition, the smelters and refiners listed on Schedule 1 include only those reported entities that were listed on the RMI Standard Smelter List tab of the Template with a current smelter identification number, because those are the only reported entities that Control4 was able to determine were bona fide smelters or refiners. Based solely on information provided by our Identified Suppliers and the RMAP, of the 301 smelters and refiners identified on Schedule 1, 202 have been certified as “conformant” by the RMAP, and an additional 45 of the remaining smelters and refiners were previously certified as “conformant” but the certifications have subsequently expired, with 38 of these 45 that are currently actively involved in the re-audit process. Furthermore, 7 additional smelters and refiners are actively under-going audits in the process of becoming certified as “conformant” by the RMAP for the first time.
Identified Countries of Origin of Necessary Conflict Minerals
Where such information was provided, Control4 has listed in Schedule 2 of this Report the countries of origin of the Necessary Conflict Minerals provided to us in the Templates of Identified Suppliers which reported product-level information as well as Sanmina Corporation.
Future Due Diligence and Risk Mitigation
Control4 expects to take the following steps, among others, to continue to improve the due diligence conducted and to further mitigate the risk that the necessary Conflict Minerals in Control4’s products benefit armed groups in the Covered Countries, including:
1. Control4 intends to continue to work with Identified Suppliers that provided incomplete or insufficient information, or were unresponsive to the information request, in an effort to obtain complete and accurate information. In addition, Control4 will continue to encourage Identified Suppliers that identified any supply that potentially originated in the Covered Countries to work to ensure that all sources are certified as “conflict free.”
2. Control4 intends to reiterate its request that all Identified Suppliers complete the Template by providing product- or component-specific information and provide responses that identify materials down to the smelter and countries of origin of the Conflict Minerals.
3. Control4 intends to engage in continuing education to employees who are involved with material, component and supplier selection.
4. Control4 intends to consider and evaluate opportunities to join industry groups to better obtain and evaluate more complete information from our Identified Suppliers as is commercially reasonable for a company in our situation.

(1)The smelters and refiners sourcing Conflict Minerals originating from these Covered Countries have not been audited by the RMAP. However, all the smelters and refiners sourcing Conflict Minerals from the Covered Countries stem from one of Control4’s Identified Suppliers. In prior years, this Identified Supplier did not include any country of origin information in their Template. We note that this Identified Supplier is also subject to the Dodd Frank Act and has adopted its own Conflict Minerals Policy in which it commits to take the required steps over time to source from socially responsible suppliers when the choice of supplier is within its control. Control4 is encouraged by the increased level of detail and completeness in their current-year Template and believes this is
indicative of this Identified Supplier’s increased commitment to source responsibly and hopes that this represents a positive step in the process of identifying the country of origin of the Conflict Minerals. As Control4 does not have a direct relationship with these smelters or refiners, we will continue to encourage the Identified Supplier to further refine their due diligence and to responsibly source any Conflict Minerals used in Control4’s Covered Products.
