Extreme Networks, Inc.

Conflict Minerals Report

For The Calendar Year Ended December 31, 2024

This Conflict Minerals Report (the “Report”) for Extreme Networks, Inc. (“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 to December 31, 2024. Rule 13p-1 requires the disclosure of certain information by companies that manufacture or contract to manufacture products that use minerals specified in Rule 13p-1 that are necessary to the functionality or production of these products. These minerals are columbite-tantalite (coltan), cassiterite, wolframite, gold, or their derivatives, which the Securities and Exchange Commission has limited to tantalum, tin, tungsten and gold (collectively, the “Minerals”).

We have determined that certain Minerals are necessary to the functionality or production of our networking equipment. We generally manufacture our products through contract manufacturers. As a result, we do not have direct relationships with many of our suppliers. Due to the depth of the supply chain, we are far removed from the sources of ore from which these metals are produced and the smelters/refiners that process those ores. Consequently, we rely on our contract manufacturers, direct and indirect suppliers and industry initiatives for source information on the Minerals in our products.

For the reporting period from January 1 to December 31, 2024, we conducted reasonable country of origin (“RCOI”) activities followed by due diligence investigations to determine the source and chain of custody of the Minerals that are necessary to the functionality or production of our products.

Some smelters within our supply chain may be sourcing Minerals from the Democratic Republic of the Congo (“DRC”) or Conflict Affected and High-Risk Areas (“CAHRA”), as defined by the Responsible Minerals Initiative (“RMI”). RMI's definition of CAHRA countries includes, at a minimum, countries identified as high-risk by relevant conflict minerals regulation such as the DRC, Angola, Burundi, Central African Republic, Republic of the Congo, Rwanda, South Sudan, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia, and the indicative and non-exhaustive list of CAHRAs provided by the European Commission pursuant to Article 14.2 of the European Union Regulation 2017/821. Most of these smelters are certified as Responsible Minerals Assurance Process (“RMAP”) conformant by RMI. When we find RMAP non-conformant smelters sourcing Minerals from the DRC or CAHRA, we will work to remove such suppliers from our supply chain.

We conduct our sales and marketing activities on a worldwide basis through distributors, resellers, and the Company’s field sales organization.

Conflict Minerals Program

We are committed to the responsible sourcing and use of conflict-free minerals as components of any products linked to our business endeavors. We are a member of the Responsible Business Alliance (“RBA”). As a member of the RBA, we expect all suppliers to abide by the RBA Code of Conduct.

We have established a conflict minerals compliance program that is based on the framework established by the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (the “OECD Framework”) applicable to

downstream companies. We have continued to successfully strive towards expanding our conflict minerals compliance program in an effort to improve our ongoing strategic alignment between the company’s due diligence activities and current OECD Framework.

We engage a third party, Assent Compliance, Inc., to collect data from our suppliers. We rely in good faith on the information the suppliers provide and that these suppliers maintain responsible and ethical business practices consistent with the OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas.

Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry

We conducted a RCOI survey of all of our suppliers. Of the 51suppliers contacted by the Company, 47 suppliers provided valid responses to our questionnaires.

Suppliers were asked to utilize the RMI Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (“CMRT”) to report on their usage and sourcing of materials containing the Minerals. The RMI CMRT was developed by several of the world’s leading consumer electronics companies and is generally regarded as the most common reporting tool for conflict minerals content and sourcing information. However, not all suppliers responded using the template as requested.

These surveys listed a total of approximately 260 smelters and refiners. Seventeen of these suppliers provided information at a part number level and were able to specifically identify the smelters from which their Minerals were procured. The other 30 suppliers provided their complete list of smelters, but were unable to identify the specific smelters from which the Minerals used for our products were procured. As some of the surveys we received are company-wide and not product specific, we believe these surveys may include smelters and refiners that do not provide the Minerals that are used in our products. Due to the use of company-wide surveys by some suppliers and the multiple levels of suppliers in our supply chain we are unable to determine with certainty at this time a complete list of smelters and refiners listed in the surveys that actually provide the specific Minerals used in our products. However, we believe the smelters and refiners used in our products may include those listed on Exhibit A.

Based on our RCOI, the smelters providing Minerals contained in our products or by our suppliers are:


By Smelter
	Non-DRC/CAHRA	DRC/CAHRA	Unknown
RMAP Conformant	104	109	19
Active*	1	1	1
RMAP Non-Conformant	11	8	0
Outreach Required	3	0	3


By Metal
	RMAP Conformant	Active*	RMAP Non-Conformant	Outreach Required
Gold	91	2	11	6
Tantalum	34	0	0	0
Tin	71	0	6	0
Tungsten	36	1	2	0

*Active smelters are progressing toward an RMAP conformance audit.

We are actively working on smelter outreach and removal where the smelter sources Minerals from the DRC or CAHRA and is designated as RMAP non-conformant.

Design of Due Diligence Measures

The following are the due diligence measures we performed as a result of our RCOI:

1. Establish Strong Company Management Systems. Our Supply Chain team, reporting to a Senior Vice President, oversees supply chain due diligence related to the Minerals. Our Supply Chain team communicates our Extreme Networks Conflict Minerals Policy (“Conflict Minerals Policy”) and our Supplier Code of Conduct to our suppliers and works with our third-party service provider to gather information for this report. Our Conflict Minerals Policy directs our suppliers to comply with the RBA Code of Conduct and to utilize a supply chain that does not support the conflict in the DRC and CAHRA. Copies of our Conflict Minerals Policy and Supplier Code of Conduct are available on our website at https://bit.ly/extreme-conflict-minerals-policy and https://www.extremenetworks.com/company/csr/, respectively.

2. Identify and Assess Risk in the Supply Chain. We are continually trying to identify risks within our supply chain. Each year, we conduct a thorough evaluation of our supply chain based on the previous year's spend. Using a third-party service provider, we conduct supply-chain surveys with our direct suppliers using the CMRT to identify the smelters and refiners and to determine the risks of any sources from the DRC and CAHRA within our supply chain. We utilize third parties to evaluate supplier responses for plausibility, consistency and gaps, both in terms of which products were stated to contain or not contain the Minerals, and the origin of the Minerals. In addition, we validate the information we receive from our suppliers, to the extent possible, using different procedures such as comparing different supplier responses for inconsistencies related to the same Minerals. We and our third-party service provider follow up with the suppliers surveyed, to the extent possible, on missing and inconsistent information. Over time, we anticipate that the amount of information globally available regarding the traceability and sourcing of the Minerals will increase.

In addition to direct queries to our suppliers, we utilize industry supply chain management tools and our third-party service provider to determine if there is any risk that the Minerals being used in our products are from DRC or CAHRA and benefit armed groups in these areas. For example, we check the conflict-free status of smelters and refiners on the RMI’s website.

Upon receiving information about all smelters within our supply chain, we assess their risk based on their Responsible Minerals Initiative (RMI) status and the origins of their minerals.

In addition to research regarding whether Minerals have been sourced from the DRC or CAHRA, we also conduct inquiries to determine whether refineries reported by suppliers have been sanctioned by the U.S. Department of the Treasury, Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) (“Sanctioned Entities”) as a source of Minerals. If we find such reports, we will continue to conduct due diligence to attempt to confirm whether or not the refineries in question were sanctioned at the time the suppliers acquired Minerals, and whether or not the refinery actually exists in our supply chain. If a supplier continues to use Sanctioned Entities in their supply chain, we will request that the suppliers provide us with schedules for eliminating those Sanctioned Entities from their supply chains.

3. Design and Implement a Strategy to Respond to Identified Risks. If source of Minerals is identified as originating in the DRC or CAHRA or is otherwise identified as high risk, we contact suppliers using that source of Minerals to request a remediation plan to address the risk. The remediation plan must detail which Extreme Networks components contain minerals from high-risk smelters, provide a list of high-risk smelters and a timeline for removing high-risk smelters from the supply chain. The supplier will be asked to acknowledge Extreme Networks’ compliance requirements.

4. Product Impact Assessment: If the high-risk smelter is found to be used in products we manufacture and sell, we take further action to remove the component/smelter from our products by seeking suitable alternatives.

5. Third-Party Audits of Supply Chain at Identified Points in the Supply Chain. As a downstream user of Minerals, we do not purchase Minerals directly from smelters or refineries. We rely on entities

closer to the smelters and refineries to conduct in-person audits. We rely on sources such as RMI to determine the conflict-free status of smelters or refineries.

6. Report on Supply Chain Due Diligence. We file this report with the Securities and Exchange Commission and post it on our website at https://investor.extremenetworks.com/overview/default.aspx.

Steps to be taken to mitigate future risk

We take the following steps to improve the program and further mitigate any risk that the necessary Minerals in our products could benefit armed groups in the DRC or CAHRA:

1. Compliance Consulting Services. We use a third-party service provider to assist us with follow up on responses to the suppliers’ surveys and validate responses from suppliers.

2. Quality Management System. We follow our Quality Management System (“QMS”) process, which includes requiring compliance with the RCOI and conflict minerals disclosure processes as part of the supplier qualification and audit processes. The QMS includes a “corrective action-preventive action process” that is consistent with the OECD Framework.

3. Work with Suppliers on Quality of Information. We continue to communicate our expectations regarding the quality of information to be provided by our suppliers. We request that all our suppliers provide a completed and accurate RMI CMRT for the products that such suppliers manufacture for us that include the Minerals.

4. Provide a Reporting Mechanism. The Company maintains an email address, extr-supplier-coc@extremenetworks.com, which is available internally and externally for reports of supply chain-related concerns, including those related to conflict minerals.
