Section 1 Conflict Minerals Disclosure
Item 1.01 Conflict Minerals Disclosure and Report
This Form SD is being filed by CSR plc (“CSR”) pursuant to Rule 13p-1 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 for the reporting period January 1 to December 31, 2013 (the “Reporting Period”).
CSR is a “fabless” semiconductor company, meaning it designs and develops integrated circuits, together with associated hardware and software, and subcontracts to independent third parties the manufacture of the integrated circuits which it sells to its clients. CSR does not manufacture any products itself.
CSR’s Conflict Minerals Report being filed herewith relates to integrated circuits (the “Covered Products”) for which gold, tin, tantalum and tungsten are necessary to the functionality of the Covered Products, which were contracted by CSR to be manufactured on its behalf and for which the manufacture was completed during the Reporting Period.
After conducting the due diligence exercise described in CSR’s Conflict Minerals Report, CSR was unable to determine whether or not each of the Covered Products qualify as “DRC conflict free” as defined under Rule 13p-1 and this Item 1.01. Accordingly, CSR has reasonably determined that each of the Covered Products is “DRC conflict undeterminable” as defined under Rule 13p-1 and this Item 1.01.
A copy of CSR’s Conflict Minerals Report is provided as Exhibit 1.01 of this Form SD, and is publicly available at www.csr.com and the SEC’s EDGAR database at www.sec.gov.
Item 1.02 Exhibit
As specified in Section 2, Item 2.01 of this Form SD, CSR is hereby filing its Conflict Minerals Report as Exhibit 1.01.
Section 2 – Exhibits
Item 2.01 Exhibits
Exhibit 1.01 – Conflict Minerals Report as required by Items 1.01 and 1.02 of this Form.
