Conflict Minerals Report
For The Year Ended December 31, 2014
This report for the year ended December 31, 2014 is presented to comply with Section 13(p) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 13p-1 (the Rule) and Form SD thereunder. The Rule was adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) 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 (Dodd-Frank Act). The Rule imposes certain reporting obligations on SEC registrants whose manufactured products contain conflict minerals which are necessary to the functionality or production of their products. Conflict minerals are defined as cassiterite, columbite-tantalite, gold, wolframite, and their derivatives, which are limited to tin, tantalum and tungsten for the purposes of this assessment. These requirements apply to registrants whatever the geographic origin of the conflict minerals and whether or not they fund armed conflict. In accordance with the instructions, and related guidance, to Form SD, this Conflict Minerals Report has not been audited by an independent private sector auditor.
If a registrant can establish that the conflict minerals originated from sources other than the Democratic Republic of the Congo or an adjoining country (the “Covered Countries”), or from recycled and scrap sources, they must submit a Form SD which describes the Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry completed. If a registrant has reason to believe that any of the conflict minerals in their supply chain may have originated in the Covered Countries, or if they are unable to determine the country of origin of those conflict minerals, then the issuer must exercise due diligence on the conflict minerals’ source and chain of custody and submit a Conflict Minerals Report to the SEC that includes a description of those due diligence measures.
Design and Description of Conflict Minerals Diligence Program
The design of our conflict minerals due diligence program is in conformity 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, and related Supplements on Tin, Tantalum and Tungsten and on Gold (collectively, “OECD Guidance”), specifically as it relates to our position in the minerals supply chain as a “downstream” purchaser. We designed our due diligence program, management and measures to conform in all material respects with the framework OECD Guidance.
| | (i) | Establishment of Strong Company Management Systems |
| | a. | Our management system includes the development of a Conflict Mineral Qualification Team overseen by the Chief Financial Officer of the Company and run under the supervision of the Company’s QA & EMS Director, and includes a team of subject matter experts from relevant functions including Operations and Purchasing. Senior management is briefed about the results of our due diligence efforts on a regular basis. |
| | b. | Implement a supply chain system of controls and transparency through the use of due diligence tools created by the Conflict-Free Sourcing Initiative (“CFSI”). |
| | c. | Incorporate requirements related to conflict minerals in our standard template for supplier contracts and specifications. |
| | d. | Maintain a documentation and record maintenance mechanism to ensure the retaining of relevant documentation in an electronic database. |
| | e. | Implementation of a Corrective Action System in order to achieve continuous improvement of our conflict mineral qualification process and reduction of uncertainty in the process. |
| | (ii) | Identification and Assessment of Risk in the Supply Chain |
| | a. | We have adopted the processes and protocols of the Conflict Free Smelter Program. All Conflict Minerals “necessary to the functionality of the products” have been identified and the suppliers of those Conflict Minerals have been identified and smelter data has been collected from them. Responses provided by suppliers have undergone a review for accuracy. |
| | b. | We conducted a survey of our active suppliers using the template developed jointly by the companies of Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition® (EICC®) and The Global e-Sustainability Initiative (GeSI), known as the CFSI Reporting Template (the Template). The Template was developed to facilitate disclosure and communication of information regarding smelters that provide material to a company’s supply chain. It includes questions regarding a company’s conflict-free policy, engagement with its direct suppliers, and a listing of the smelters the company and its suppliers use. In addition, the template contains questions about the origin of conflict minerals included in their products, as well as supplier due diligence. Written instructions and recorded training illustrating the use of the tool is available on CFSI’s website (http://www.conflictfreesourcing.org/). The Template is being widely adopted by many companies in their due diligence processes related to conflict minerals. |
| | (iii) | Design and Implementation of a Strategy to Respond to Identified Risks |
| | a. | Due diligence reviews of suppliers, smelters and refiners that may be sourcing or processing conflict minerals from the Covered Countries which may not be from recycled or scrap sources. However, as a result of the complexity of our products and the constant evolution of our supply chain, it is difficult to identify sub-tier suppliers downstream from our direct suppliers. |
| | b. | Monitor and track suppliers, smelters and/or refiners identified as not meeting the requirements (or that defined themselves as “Unknown”) set forth in our Conflict Minerals Sourcing Policy or contractual requirements to determine their progress in meeting those requirements. Any new suppliers will be required to complete EICC-GeSI declarations as part of becoming an approved supplier to Silicom. |
| | c. | Provide progress reports to our senior management relating to our risk mitigation efforts. |
| | d. | Undertake any additional fact and risk assessments as necessary. |
| | (iv) | Support for the Development and Implementation of Independent Third Party Audits of Smelters’ and Refiners’ sourcing: |
We encourage our suppliers to purchase from EICC’s Conflict-Free Smelter (CFS) Compliant Smelters.
| | (v) | Report on Supply Chain Due Diligence |
This report is available on our website at http://www.silicom-usa.com/Article.aspx?Item=939&ln=en.
Products
During this reporting period, we identified the products below that we manufactured or contracted to manufacture as containing necessary conflict minerals:
| | (i) | High-end server network interface cards with and without bypass (Server Adapters); |
| | (ii) | Intelligent and programmable cards, with features such as encryption, acceleration, data compression, redirection, time stamping, network capture solutions, FPGA based ultra-low latency solutions, and/or other offload features (Smart Adapters); |
| | (iii) | Stand-alone Bypass Switches (mostly Intelligent bypass switches); and |
| | (iv) | The patented SETAC (Server To Appliance Converter) product family, a unique solution that enables standard servers to be configured as network appliances with high-density front networking ports and easy port modularity, including Switched SETAC. |
Results of our Due Diligence Measures
Inherent Limitations on Due Diligence Measures
As a downstream purchaser of 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 processes are based on the necessity of seeking data from our direct suppliers and those suppliers seeking similar information within their supply chains to identify the original sources of the necessary conflict minerals. We also reviewed information from websites of suppliers and manufacturers where conflict minerals reports were available. We also rely, to a large extent, on information collected and provided by independent third party audit programs. Such sources of information, may yield inaccurate or incomplete information and may be subject to fraud.
Supplier Chain Survey Responses
As a result of our due diligence efforts, we have concluded in good faith that during 2014 and with respect to the necessary conflict minerals that originated or may have originated from the Covered Countries, our products which contain conflict minerals are “DRC Conflict Undeterminable” (as defined in the Rule). We reached this conclusion because we have been unable to determine the origin of all of the conflict minerals used in our products.

Future Due Diligence Measures
During the reporting period for the calendar year ending December 31, 2015, we are continuing to engage in the diligence process described above. We will also continue to attempt to validate supplier responses using information collected via independent conflict free smelter validation programs such as the Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition / Global e-Sustainability Initiative (EICC/GeSI) Conflict Free Smelter Program.
