Introduction
This Specialized Disclosure Report on Form SD (Form SD) of Semtech Corporation for the year ended December 31, 2016 is presented to comply
with Rule 13p-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Rule). Rule 13p-1 requires disclosure of certain information when a registrant manufactures or contracts to manufacture products for which the minerals specified in the Rule are
necessary to the functionality or production of those products. Conflict minerals are defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) as columbite-tantalite (coltan), cassiterite, gold, wolframite, or their derivatives, which are
limited to tantalum, tin, and tungsten. For products which contain necessary conflict minerals, the registrant must conduct in good faith a reasonable country of origin inquiry designed to determine whether any of the conflict minerals originated in
the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) or an adjoining country (as defined in paragraph (d)(1) of Item 1.01 of Form SD (Item 1.01), collectively defined as the Covered Countries, or are from recycled or
scrap sources (as defined in paragraph (d)(6) of Item 1.01). Unless the context otherwise requires, Semtech, we, our and us refers to Semtech Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries.
Semtech is a global supplier of high performance analog and mixed-signal semiconductor products. We design, develop and market a wide range of products for
commercial applications, the majority of which are sold into the enterprise computing, communications, high-end consumer and industrial end-markets. Our products are designed into a wide variety of end applications, including base stations, optical
networks, datacenters, storage networks and computers and computer peripherals. Our products are also designed into wireless local area network communication infrastructure equipment, smartphones and other handheld products, set-top boxes,
digital televisions, broadcast studio equipment, automated meter reading, military and aerospace, medical, security systems, automotive, industrial and home automation, video security and surveillance and other industrial equipment. The
end-customers for our products are primarily original equipment manufacturers that produce and sell electronics.
As a semiconductor manufacturer, we are
knowledgeable of the design of our products including the materials needed to construct them. As a result, we know that many of our products contain tantalum, tin, tungsten and/or gold that is necessary to the functionality or production of those
products. Although many of our products contain these conflict minerals, we do not purchase ore or unrefined conflict minerals from mines and are many steps removed in the supply chain from the mining process. Semtech is considered a
fabless semiconductor manufacturer since we outsource the manufacture of most of our products to third party fabrication facilities that are responsible for purchasing many of the raw materials necessary to the functionality or
production of our products. We purchase the remainder of the materials used in our products from a large network of suppliers. The origin of the conflict mineral content of our products cannot be determined with any certainty once the ores are
smelted, refined and converted to ingots, bullion or other minerals containing derivatives. The smelters and refiners are consolidating points for ore and are in the best position in our supply chain to know the origin of the ores. We rely on our
suppliers to assist with our reasonable country of origin inquiry and due diligence efforts, including the identification of smelters and refiners, for the conflict minerals contained in the materials which they supply to us.
Item 1.01
|
Conflict Minerals Disclosure and Report
|
Conclusion Based on Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry
Semtech has concluded in good faith that during 2016,
|
(a)
|
Semtech has manufactured and contracted to manufacture products as to which conflict minerals are necessary to the functionality or production of such products.
|
|
(b)
|
Based on a reasonable country of origin inquiry (RCOI), Semtech knows or has reason to believe that a portion of its necessary conflict minerals originated or may have originated in the Covered Countries and
knows or has reason to believe that those necessary conflict minerals may not be solely from recycled or scrap sources.
|
Description of
Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry Efforts
For 2016, we conducted a supply chain survey with our direct suppliers to obtain country of origin
information for the necessary conflict minerals in our products using the standard Conflict Minerals reporting templates (CMRT) established by the Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition (EICC) and Global e-Sustainability
Initiative (GeSI), and launched our conflict minerals due diligence communication survey to these suppliers, who are foundries, materials, and turnkey and assembly service suppliers. The CMRT requests direct suppliers to identify the
smelters and refiners and countries of origin of the conflict minerals in products they supply to Semtech. We compared the smelters and refiners identified in the surveys against the lists of facilities which have received a conflict
free designation by the Conflict-Free Smelter Program (CFSP) organized by the EICC and GeSI.
There is significant overlap between our
RCOI efforts and our due diligence measures performed. Our due diligence measures performed are discussed further in the Conflict Minerals Report filed as Exhibit 1.02 hereto.
