CONFLICT MINERALS REPORT
FOR THE REPORTING PERIOD FROM

ARRIS International, plc. - CONFLICT MINERALS REPORT 2015
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, 2015 to December 31, 2015.
On January 4, 2016, ARRIS Group, Inc. (“ARRIS Group”) completed its combination (the “Combination”) with Pace plc, a company incorporated in England and Wales (“Pace”). In connection with the Combination, (i) ARRIS International plc ( “ARRIS International” or “ARRIS”), a company incorporated in England and Wales, acquired all of the outstanding ordinary shares of Pace and (ii) a wholly-owned subsidiary of ARRIS International was merged with and into ARRIS Group (the “Merger”), with ARRIS Group surviving the Merger as an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of ARRIS International. This Conflict Minerals Report is being filed by ARRIS International on behalf of, and as successor, to ARRIS Group. The Registrant is deemed to be the successor to ARRIS Group pursuant to Rule 12g-3(a) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
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, 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, 2015 to December 31, 2015, 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, 2015, 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 CFSI 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, Second Edition (the “OECD Guidance”), as
2
ARRIS International, plc. - CONFLICT MINERALS REPORT 2015
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; |
| 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; |
| 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; |
| 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; |
| 5) | requested the specific processing facility names (smelters) from all suppliers indicating sources in the covered countries; and |
| 6) | compared the facilities identified by suppliers indicating sourcing from the covered countries against the list of facilities that have received a “conflict-free” designation for tantalum, tin, tungsten and gold published by the Conflict Free Sourcing Initiative (“CFSI”) - the Conflict-Free Smelter List (“CFS List”). |
DUE DILIGENCE RESULTS
We had a response rate of 99% to our supplier RCOI and due diligence performed for facilities (smelters) indicated by suppliers as having sources in the covered countries are as follows:
Based on the CFSI RCOI Data (dated 2-19-16) 38 smelters and refiners were identified as sourcing from the covered countries. All were listed on the CFSI Conflict Free Smelter list
3
ARRIS International, plc. - CONFLICT MINERALS REPORT 2015
Three suppliers indicated a tin smelter as sourcing from the covered countries. These suppliers had no direct evidence of covered country sources other than the location of the smelter in Rwanda. This smelter is currently listed by the CFSI as “Active CFSP.”
All remaining smelters identified by suppliers as sourcing from the covered countries were listed on the CFSI Conflict Free Smelter list.
Overall, of the 298 unique smelters identified by our suppliers and verified against CFSI known smelters and refiners, 212 are listed as “Compliant” by CFSI and 36 are “Active CFSP” (CSFI Database 4-15-16).
PRODUCT DESCRIPTIONS
ARRIS’ product portfolio primarily includes set-top boxes, end-to-end digital video and Internet Protocol Television (“IPTV”) distribution systems, broadband access infrastructure platforms, and associated data and voice CPE. Detailed descriptions and technical information can be found on our website (www.arris.com).

ARRIS International, plc. - CONFLICT MINERALS REPORT 2015
EFFORTS TO DETERMINE THE CONFLICT MINERALS’ MINE OR LOCATION OF ORIGIN
Through our participation in the CFSI 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 2015 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 CFSI standard smelter names or other known smelters/refiners and requesting that they work to resolve these unknown smelters for future submissions.
In 2016 we intend to take the following step 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 CFSI or other industry reference source. |
| • | Continue participation in CFSI (Member ID ARRS) to drive the improvement of industry tools, resources and traceability programs. |
