Conflict Minerals Report of PMC-Sierra, Inc.
For the Year Ended December 31, 2014
We have made statements in this conflict minerals report that may constitute forward-looking statements about our plans to take additional actions or to implement additional policies or procedures with respect to our due diligence efforts to determine the origin of certain minerals contained in our products. We undertake no obligation to publically update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Our reporting obligations under the conflict minerals rules may change in the future and our ability to implement certain processes or obtain information from our suppliers may differ materially from those anticipated or implied in this report.
Introduction
This is the Conflict Minerals Report of PMC-Sierra, Inc. (the “Company,” “PMC,” “we” and “our”) for calendar year 2014 in accordance with Rule 13p-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. A copy of this Conflict Minerals Report is publicly available on our website at www.pmcs.com.
PMC is a semiconductor and software solution innovator transforming networks that connect, move, and store Big Data. PMC designs, develops, markets and supports semiconductor, embedded software, and board level solutions by integrating its mixed-signal, software and systems expertise through a network of offices in North America, Europe and Asia. As a fabless company, PMC does not manufacture its products. Instead, PMC contracts with independent merchant foundries for the production of the silicon wafers and with separate, independent assemblers for the package and assembly of our products.
PMC is committed to human rights around the world. Our suppliers must not use forced labor, whether indentured, bonded, prison or obtained through slavery and human trafficking (including forced child labor). PMC monitors its supply chain for the use of so-called "conflict minerals," including tin, tungsten, tantalum, and gold, sourced from the Democratic Republic of the Congo and adjoining countries that finance or benefit armed groups and has been working diligently with its suppliers to identify conflict-free sources for those minerals.
Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry
PMC has identified tin, tungsten, tantalum and gold (“Conflict Minerals”) as necessary to the functionality or production of our Adaptec by PMC board products (“Adaptec”) and integrated circuit (“IC”) products.
The Conflict Mineral supply chain is divided into upstream (from the mine to the smelter or refiner) and downstream (from smelters or refiners to retailers) companies. Upstream companies include miners, local traders, exporters from the country of mineral origin, international concentrate traders, mineral re-processors and smelters or refiners. Downstream companies include metal traders and exchanges, component manufacturers, product manufacturers, original equipment manufacturers, and retailers.
As a fabless company, PMC is a downstream company and our position in the supply chain is several steps removed from the mining of Conflict Minerals. We do not purchase or source the raw materials used in our products and do not have direct visibility into or control over the original sources of the Conflict Minerals contained in our products.
Our reasonable country of origin inquiry (“RCOI”) required us to survey all of our suppliers and original manufacturers of parts and materials that contain conflict minerals (collectively, “Suppliers”) to determine whether the Conflict Minerals contained in our products are sourced from the Democratic Republic of the Congo and adjoining countries (“Covered Countries”). Such survey was based on the conflict minerals reporting template developed by the Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition and Global e-Sustainability Initiative (“EICC/GeSI”).
In response to our 2014 reporting period RCOI, our Suppliers indicated that they source Conflict Minerals from 246 smelters and refiners (collectively, “Smelters”) and that some of those Smelters are located in the Covered Countries. We therefore exercised due diligence to determine the source and chain of custody of such Conflict Minerals.
Due Diligence
As a downstream purchaser of products that contain Conflict Minerals, our due diligence measures can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance regarding the source and chain of custody of the necessary Conflict Minerals. Our due diligence measures have been designed to conform, in all material respects, with the framework in the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas.
Our due diligence measures included the following:
· | We maintained a conflict minerals compliance team with representatives from the operations, finance and legal departments to lead and oversee PMC’s Conflict Minerals compliance plan. |
· | We developed a disclosure cooperation and compliance clause to include in our commercial contracts and written agreements that requires our Suppliers to make available to PMC full material declarations that identify the sources and amount of all Conflict Minerals contained in the materials or products provided by those Suppliers. |
· | Assent Compliance Inc. (“Assent”), a third party consultant, continued to assist PMC in implementing our conflict minerals compliance plan by providing access to a library of publications, training materials, reporting software and master compliance database which includes a report of publicly available corporate EICC/GeSI forms and PMC’s RCOI survey completion status. |
· | We used Assent’s services to issue the EICC/GeSI Conflict Minerals Reporting survey template to all of our Suppliers, to record and store all responses, and to assist in any necessary follow-up. |
· | We reviewed all survey responses and we directly, or indirectly through the use of Assent’s services, conducted follow-up inquiries for responses that were vague, incomplete or otherwise unreliable. |
· | We joined the Conflict-Free Sourcing Initiative (“CFSI”) through which we gained access to non-public RCOI information associated with Smelter facilities and a list of Smelters that have been identified as “conflict free” by the EICC/GeSI Conflict Free Smelter (CFS) Program. We used CFSI’s conflict free Smelters list to help us to confirm or identify the status of all the Smelters used by our Suppliers during the reporting period. |

Results of Due Diligence
We determined that of the 246 Smelters of Conflict Minerals identified in our RCOI survey listed in Appendix I below, 165 Smelters have been certified as conflict free by the CFS Program. The remaining 81 Smelters are not certified conflict free. The following table contains the CFSI certified conflict free Smelters by minerals type:
|
|
|
Smelters and refiners verified as conflict free* | ||
Gold | 61 of 103 | 59% |
Tantalum | 39 of 39 | 100% |
Tin | 34 of 72 | 47% |
Tungsten | 31 of 32 | 97% |
Total | 165 of 246 | 67% |
*Note that the data above was obtained from the non-public (member only access) CFSI Data Exchange Forum as of April 30, 2015.
With respect to the 81 Smelters that are not certified conflict free at this time by the CFS Program, we conducted Internet research and have been unable to determine the mine or location of origin of the Conflict Minerals processed by those Smelters or whether such Conflict Minerals directly or indirectly financed or benefited armed groups in the Covered Countries. However, based on the information provided by our Suppliers, as well as from the CFSI RCOI data, we believe that the countries of origin of the Conflict Minerals contained in our products include the countries listed in Appendix II below, as well as recycled and scrap sources.
Determination
On the basis of the due diligences measures described above, we do not have sufficient information to conclusively determine the countries of origin of all of the Conflict Minerals or whether the Conflict Minerals contained in our products directly or indirectly finance or benefit armed groups in the Covered Countries or are from recycled or scrap sources.

Future Due Diligence Measures
We intend to take the following steps to further mitigate any risk that the necessary Conflict Minerals in our products could directly or indirectly finance or benefit armed groups in the Covered Countries:
· | Continue including a Conflict Minerals disclosure cooperation and compliance clause in new and renewed commercial contracts and written agreements with Suppliers. |
· | Continue engaging with our Suppliers to obtain current, accurate and complete information in their RCOI survey responses. |
· | Continue to review and evaluate the origin of Conflict Minerals used in our products. Our Supplier audit review checklist includes a section to check our Suppliers’ documented conflict free sourcing policy and to check if the Supplier source from Smelters that have been identified as “conflict free” by the CFS Program. |
· | Continue monitoring Suppliers with Smelter facilities that are not participating in the EICC/GeSI CFS Program and provide those Suppliers with supply chain sources that are conflict free certified Smelters as determined by the EICC/GeSI CFS Program. |
· | Continue supporting industry efforts to exert pressure on our Suppliers to influence Smelters to participate in the EICC/GeSI CFS Program. |
· | Continue monitoring our supply chain activities, keeping current with changes or updates in Conflict Minerals laws, rules and regulations, and updating our related policies and procedures as appropriate. 3 |
