CONFLICT MINERALS REPORT
FOR THE REPORTING PERIOD FROM
JANUARY 1, 2018 TO DECEMBER 31, 2018
ARRIS INTERNATIONAL PLC - CONFLICT MINERALS REPORT 2018
INTRODUCTION
This Conflict Minerals Report for ARRIS International plc including all of its subsidiaries (“ARRIS,” “we,” or “our”) is provided in accordance with Rule 13p-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Rule 13p-1”) for the reporting period from January 1, 2018 to December 31, 2018.
ARRIS is a provider of products and services to cable operators and wireline telecommunications (“telco”) service providers (collectively, “network operators”) that enable the delivery of video, voice and data services to consumers. The product portfolio primarily includes interactive settop boxes, Wi-Fi access points, network switches, end-to-end digital video and Internet Protocol Television (“IPTV”) distribution systems, broadband access infrastructure platforms, and associated data and voice CPE (consumer premises equipment).
For the reporting period from January 1, 2018 to December 31, 2018, ARRIS conducted a reasonable country of origin inquiry and due diligence on the source and chain of custody of the conflict minerals that are necessary to the functionality or production of the products (“necessary conflict minerals”) that we manufactured or contracted to manufacture, after January 1, 2018, for which the results of our reasonable country of origin inquiry and due diligence conducted on these conflict minerals are presented herein.
REASONABLE COUNTRY OF ORIGIN INQUIRY
We conducted a reasonable country of origin inquiry (RCOI) of relevant 3TG Direct Suppliers using the Responsible Minerals Initiative (RMI) Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (“CMRT”), which included questions about the location or mine of origin, and encouraged those suppliers to make similar efforts to survey their supply chain using the CMRT and report the facilities and location or mine of origin for necessary conflict minerals.
DUE DILIGENCE MEASURES
We conducted due diligence on the source and chain of custody of our conflict minerals to ascertain whether these conflict minerals originated in the Democratic Republic of the Congo or any of its adjoining countries and financed or benefited non-state armed groups in any of these countries.
Design of Our Due Diligence Measures
Our conflict minerals due diligence measures have been designed to conform with the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas, Third Edition (the “OECD Guidance”), as applicable for tin, tantalum, tungsten, gold and downstream companies (as the term is defined in the OECD Guidance), in all material respects. We designed our due diligence measures to:
| 1) | establish strong Company management systems for conflict minerals supply chain due diligence; |
| 2) | identify and assess conflict minerals risks in our supply chain; |
| 3) | design and implement strategies to respond to conflict minerals risks identified; |
ARRIS INTERNATIONAL PLC - CONFLICT MINERALS REPORT 2018
| 4) | contribute to independent third-party audits of the due diligence practices of conflict minerals smelters and refiners by participating in industry organizations; and |
| 5) | report on our conflict minerals supply chain due diligence activities. |
Due Diligence Measures Performed
Our due diligence measures included the following activities:
| 1) | Established an internal team to implement the ARRIS Conflict Minerals Program reporting directly to the VP of Compliance. The internal team has been reviewed and adjusted to ensure all relevant people and resources are engaged to support the highest level of excellence in the program; |
| 2) | established company policies and requirements and incorporated those requirements into supplier contracts to define ARRIS’s expectations of suppliers regarding sourcing of conflict minerals and reporting of information to ARRIS. Company policies and contractual requirements with our suppliers are periodically reviewed and adjusted to incorporate improvements to the program; |
| 3) | conducted a review to identify relevant direct suppliers of products containing necessary conflict minerals (in the form of gold and the derivatives tin, tantalum, and tungsten, or collectively, “3TG” and “3TG Direct Suppliers”); |
| 4) | reviewed all supplier responses against internally established criteria for completeness, consistency and risk; contacted suppliers that provided incomplete, inaccurate or untraceable information to correct and/or obtain additional information; and |
| 5) | vetted all facilities reported by suppliers against the RMI Smelter Database and the RMI RCOI Data to determine smelter validity and country of origin. |
Due Diligence Results
We had a response rate of 100% to our supplier RCOI and due diligence performed for facilities (smelters) indicated by suppliers as having sources in the covered countries is as follows:
Based on the RMI RCOI Data (dated 1-25-19) 39 smelters or refiners were identified as sourcing from the covered countries. All were listed on the RMI Conflict-Free Smelter list.
One supplier indicated a gold smelter located in Zambia. According to the RMI Smelter database, the smelter has thus far refused to participate in the RMI Responsible Minerals Assurance Process (RMAP). Detailed sourcing information is not available at this time. RMI continues to urge them to participate in the program.
Overall, of the 304 unique smelters identified by our suppliers and verified against RMI known smelters and refiners, 249 are listed as “Conformant” by RMI and 5 are “Active” (RMI Database 1-25-19).

Efforts to Determine the Conflict Minerals’ Mine or Location of Origin
Through our participation in the RMI and requiring our suppliers to complete the CMRT we have determined that seeking information about conflict mineral smelters and refiners in our supply chain represents the most reasonable effort we can make to determine the mines or locations of origin of the conflict minerals in our supply chain.
Steps to be taken to mitigate risk
In 2018 we continued a smelter identification and acceptance review applied during processing of supplier CMRTs. This allowed us to provide feedback to suppliers identifying smelter entries that could not be recognized when referenced to the RMI standard smelter names or other known smelters/refiners and requesting that they work to resolve these unknown smelters for future submissions.
In 2019 we intend to take the following steps to improve the due diligence conducted to further mitigate any risk that the necessary conflict minerals in our products could benefit armed groups in the DRC or adjoining countries:
| - | Continue to urge suppliers to provide smelters than can be recognized or traced to facilities known as actual smelter or refiners to the RMI or other industry reference source. |
| - | Continue participation in RMI (Member ID ARRS) to drive the improvement of industry tools, resources and traceability programs. |
| - | Continue to use Supply Chain scorecard to drive supplier improvements in conflict minerals program and sourcing selections |
