Section 1—Conflict Minerals Disclosure
Item 1.01 Conflict Minerals Disclosure and Report
This Form SD of Freescale Semiconductor, Ltd. (“Freescale”) is filed to comply with Rule 13p-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (the “Rule”) for the reporting period January 1, 2014 to December 31, 2014.
Freescale has determined that during 2014 it manufactured and contracted to manufacture products as to which conflict minerals, as defined under the Rule, are necessary to the functionality or production. Freescale has conducted a good faith reasonable country of origin inquiry (the “RCOI”) regarding those conflict minerals reasonably designed to determine whether any of the conflict minerals originated in the Democratic Republic of the Congo or an adjoining country (the “DRC Region”) or were from recycled or scrap sources. Based on the RCOI, Freescale has reason to believe that some portion of the conflict minerals necessary to the functionality or production of its products may have originated in the DRC Region and has reason to believe that some of this material was not derived from recycled or scrap sources.
