Exhibit 1.01
Peraso Inc.
Conflict Minerals Report
For the year ended December 31, 2023
This Conflict Minerals Report of Peraso Inc. (“Peraso” or the “Company”) for the reporting period January 1, 2023 to December 31, 2023 is provided in accordance with Rule 13p-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Rule 13p-1”). Rule 13p-1 was adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission to implement reporting and disclosure requirements related to Conflict Minerals, as directed by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010. Conflict Minerals are defined as columbite-tantalite (coltan), cassiterite, gold and wolframite, including their derivatives, which are limited to tantalum, tin and tungsten (collectively, “3TG”), that originate in the Democratic Republic of the Congo or an adjoining country (collectively, the “Covered Countries”).
The Company is a fabless semiconductor company specializing in the development of millimeter wave, which is generally described as the frequency band from 24 Gigahertz (“GHz”) to 300GHz, wireless technology. The Company also manufactures and sells high-performance memory semiconductor devices for a wide range of markets and receives royalties from licensees of its memory technology. The Company derives revenue from selling its semiconductor devices and antenna modules, performance of non-recurring engineering services and licensing of its technologies. As a fabless semiconductor company, Peraso does not purchase directly from smelters or refineries and must rely upon its manufacturing subcontractors to: (i) identify whether 3TG minerals are used in the manufacture of Peraso’s products, (ii) identify the sources of 3TG used in the manufacture of Peraso products, and (iii) declare whether any of the 3TG minerals used is a Conflict Mineral. Peraso has determined that at least one or more of the 3TG is necessary to produce one or more Peraso integrated circuit products. In particular, the Company believes some material used by its foundry to produce the silicon wafers for one or more of the Company’s products contains at least one of the 3TG.
The Company has conducted a good faith reasonable country of origin inquiry regarding the 3TG contained in its products, which inquiry was designed to determine (a) whether any of the 3TG contained in its products originated in the Covered Countries and (b) whether any of the 3TG are from recycled or scrap sources. The Company also exercised due diligence on the chain of custody and source of the 3TG.
Peraso’s due diligence measures were based on the Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition and Global e-Sustainability (“EICC/GeSI”) initiative with the smelters and refiners of Conflict Minerals that provide 3TG to the Company’s suppliers. Peraso’s due diligence measures were comprised of:
● | conducting a supply-chain survey with direct suppliers of materials containing 3TG using the standard Conflict Minerals Reporting Template designed by the Responsible Minerals Initiative (“RMI”), which is an initiative of the EICC/GeSi, to identify the smelters and refiners; |
● | comparing the smelters and refiners identified in the supply-chain survey against the list of smelter facilities which have been identified as “conflict-free” by programs such as the EICC/GeSI Conflict Free Smelter (“CFS”) program for 3TG; and |
● | reviewing direct suppliers’ conflict minerals policies to ensure that they are encouraging their suppliers to not source from refiners, smelters and other suppliers that may use 3TG originating from the Covered Countries. |
Because some of the information provided by Peraso suppliers is incomplete and not all smelters have been identified under the CFS program as conflict-free, Peraso is unable to determine if its products are entirely conflict-free; however, the Company does not have any information indicating that any of the 3TG used by Peraso’s manufacturing subcontractors originate from the Covered Countries.
Based on the information provided by the Company’s suppliers and obtained through the due diligence process, set forth below is a list of CFS program-certified conflict-free facilities identified by the Company’s supply chain:
