Conflict Minerals Report

For The Year Ended December 31, 2013

This Conflict Minerals Report (the “Report”) of Dolby Laboratories, Inc. (“Dolby” or the “Company”) has been prepared pursuant to Rule 13p-1 and Form SD (the “Rule”) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, for the reporting period January 1, 2013 to December 31, 2013. 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. The specified minerals referred to as “Conflict Minerals” are gold, columbite-tantalite (coltan), cassiterite and wolfamite, including their derivatives which include tantalum, tin and tungsten. The “Covered Countries” for purposes of the Rule and this Report are the Democratic Republic of Congo, the Republic of Congo, the Central African Republic, South Sudan, Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, Tanzania, Zambia and Angola.

As described in this Report, we have determined that certain Conflict Minerals are necessary to the functionality or production of products manufactured or contracted to be manufactured by us during calendar year 2013. These products are referred to in this Report as “Covered Products.” As a result, we have conducted a reasonable country of origin inquiry (“RCOI”) reasonably designed to determine if any of these Conflict Minerals originated in the Covered Countries. Our RCOI primarily consisted of submitting the Conflict Minerals reporting questionnaire prepared by the Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition and Global eSustainability Initiative (“EICC-GeSI”) to our contract manufacturers and suppliers of components received in 2013. Responses were reviewed for completeness and consistency, and we routinely followed up with our contract manufacturers and component suppliers for corrections and clarifications as needed. Based on our RCOI, we believe that certain of the Conflict Minerals used in our products may have originated in the Covered Countries. Based on this information, we performed additional due diligence on the source and chain of custody of these Conflict Minerals based on 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 (“Framework”) to determine if the Conflict Minerals that may have originated in the Covered Countries benefited armed groups. As such, we believe our process was reasonably designed and performed in good faith. After performing the RCOI and due diligence in conformity with the Framework, we were unable to comprehensively determine the origin of all Conflict Minerals used in our products, the facilities used to process them, their country of origin, and their mine or location of origin.

RCOI

Our RCOI primarily consisted of submitting the EICC-GeSI Conflict Minerals questionnaire to all of our contract manufacturers and suppliers of components purchased in 2013. We submitted this questionnaire to 47 contract manufacturers and component suppliers. We did not receive complete responses to the questionnaire from 9 of these contract manufacturers and suppliers (19%). Of the responses received, four suppliers indicated that they source Conflict Minerals from the Covered Countries. Based on these four responses, we believe that certain of the Conflict Minerals used in our products may have originated in the Covered Countries.

Due Diligence

Dolby assembled a Conflict Minerals project team with representatives from Engineering, Legal, and Procurement to develop and execute its Conflict Minerals program. Dolby adopted a Conflict Minerals Policy (available at http://www.dolby.com/us/en/about-us/who-we-are/conflict-minerals-policy.html) that provides our commitment to minimizing the use of Conflict Minerals that finance or benefit armed groups. We actively engage with our suppliers to promote responsible sourcing practices including promoting practices that avoid sources of Conflict Minerals that benefit armed groups. We encourage suppliers to seek conflict-free sources for Conflict Minerals used in our products that are certified as conflict-free by participating in a third party audit such as that provided by the Conflict-Free Smelter Program (“CFSP”). The project team communicated this policy with contract manufacturers and component suppliers. The project team reviewed the EICC-GeSI questionnaire responses supplied by the contract manufacturers and component suppliers with senior management. The table below describes the smelters and refiners reported by our contract manufacturers and component suppliers on the EICC-GeSI questionnaire, including the countries of origin of the Conflict Minerals provided.

For responses that indicated that Conflict Minerals were sourced from the Covered Countries, the project team determined whether the smelters or refiners that were identified as processing these minerals were validated as conflict-free as part of the CFSP. Of the suppliers that indicated they source Conflict Minerals that were processed in the Covered Countries, only one contract manufacturer could not verify that all the smelters or refiners they used have been validated as conflict-free as part of the CFSP. This contract manufacturer reported that they received “no reported evidence of ore coming from mines supporting conflict.” As a downstream company in the supply chain, we rely on our contract manufacturers and component suppliers to provide us with the information needed to determine the mine or location of origin of Conflict Minerals with the greatest possible specificity. We support the development and implementation of independent third party audits of smelters or refiners such as the CFSP by encouraging our contract manufacturers and component suppliers to purchase materials from audited, conflict-free smelters or refiners.

Since the end of 2013, we have asked each non-responsive component supplier to explain why they did not adequately respond to our request for information and complete the EICC-GeSI questionnaire. These explanations have been reviewed by our Director of Procurement who will determine if we will continue to purchase components from these non-responsive suppliers or if alternative suppliers can be identified and utilized in the future. If we become aware of a contract manufacturer or supplier who does not meet the expectations specified in our Conflict Minerals Policy, our Director of Procurement has the ability to seek alternative sources of supply for our products or components. We have also started the process of including provisions relating to gathering Conflict Minerals information in our supply contracts to encourage greater cooperation by the companies in our supply chain.

Findings and Conclusions

We did not receive responses from certain of our contract manufacturers and component suppliers and one contract manufacturer could not confirm that all of their sources in the Covered Countries are certified to be conflict free. We are not aware of any product or component that contains Conflict Minerals from the Covered Countries that benefited armed groups. The prior table lists the smelter or refiner names and country of origin information provided by our contract manufacturers and component suppliers. We believe that requesting our contract manufacturers and component suppliers to complete the EICC-GeSI Conflict Minerals questionnaire and encouraging these upstream suppliers to source materials from conflict-free sources such as those certified by the CFSP, and ensuring that our contract manufacturers and suppliers understand our Conflicts Minerals Policy, represents a reasonable effort to determine the mines or location of origin of the Conflict Minerals in our supply chain. The amount of information available globally on the traceability and sourcing of the original ores is limited at this time.

Steps to Improve Due Diligence

We have communicated our expectations, as reflected in our Conflict Minerals Policy, to our contract manufacturers and other suppliers. We will continue to encourage our contract manufacturers and suppliers to provide us with the information needed to determine all of the facilities used to process the Conflict Minerals used in our Covered Products, as well as the mine or location of origin of these Conflict Minerals. We believe that the quantity and quality of information related to sourcing and traceability of materials in the supply chain will continue to improve in the years to come, and we are taking the steps above to increase the response rate to the EICC-GeSI questionnaire in future years. We encourage our contract manufacturers and suppliers to seek Conflict Minerals from smelters or refiners that participate in CFSP and similar certification programs. We will continue to monitor our contract manufacturers and suppliers and perform risk assessments on our overall sourcing practices, including the procurement of Conflict Minerals. Dolby is actively engaged with Industry Organizations such as the IPC (www.ipc.org) to help develop and disseminate methods to improve compliance processes with respect to Conflict Minerals.
