CONFLICT MINERALS REPORT

This Conflict Minerals Report (“Report”) of Synaptics Incorporated and its consolidated subsidiaries (“Synaptics,” the “Registrant” or “we”) for the year ended December 31, 2014 (the “Reporting Period”), is presented to comply with Rule 13p-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Rule”), the instructions to Form SD, and the Public Statement on the Effect of the Recent Court of Appeals Decision on the Conflict Minerals Rule issued by the Director of the Division of Corporation Finance of the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 29, 2014. Please refer to the Rule, Form SD, and the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (“SEC”) Release No. 34-67716 issued by the SEC on August 22, 2012 for definitions to the terms used in this Report, unless otherwise defined herein.

Synaptics is a leading worldwide developer and supplier of custom-designed human interface semiconductor product solutions that enable people to interact more easily and intuitively with a wide variety of mobile computing, communications, entertainment, and other electronic devices. Synaptics currently targets the markets for mobile product applications, including smartphones and tablets; the personal computer, or PC, product applications market, primarily notebook computers; and other select electronic device markets, with our customized human interface solutions. Every solution we deliver either contains or consists of our semiconductor solutions, which includes our ASIC, customer-specific firmware, and software. We generally supply our human interface solutions to our original equipment manufacturer customers through their contract manufacturers, which take delivery of our products and pay us directly for such products.

Synaptics does not engage in the actual mining of conflict minerals (the “Minerals”), does not make purchases of raw ore or unrefined Minerals from mines, and is many steps removed in the supply chain from the mining of the Minerals. We purchase the materials used in our products from a large network of suppliers, who may contribute necessary Minerals to our products. The smelters and refiners used by our suppliers are in the best position in the total supply chain to know the origin of ores, which cannot be determined with any certainty once the ores are smelted, refined and converted to ingots, bullions or other Minerals containing derivatives. We rely on our suppliers to assist with our due diligence efforts, including our suppliers’ self-identification of the smelters and refiners used in their supply chain, and the countries from which the Minerals used in their supply chain may originate.

 

I. Products

The following products were identified during the Reporting Period as products that may contain conflict minerals necessary to the functionality or production of products manufactured, or contracted to manufacture, by Synaptics:

 

   

Our mobile solutions include our ClearPadTM product line, designed for clear, capacitive touchscreen solutions that enable the user to interact directly with the


 

display on electronic devices, such as mobile smartphones and tablets, and our family of Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) drivers. We typically sell our ClearPad products as a chip, together with customer-specific firmware, to sensor manufacturers or LCD manufacturers to integrate into their touch-enabled products. A discrete touchscreen product typically consists of a transparent, thin capacitive sensor that can be placed over any display, such as an LCD or an Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED), and combined with a flexible circuit material and a touch controller chip.

 

    Our display driver products offer advanced image processing technology for entry-level smartphones through high-resolution tablets. The adaptive image processing works in concert with proprietary customization options enabling development of efficient and cost-effective high performance solutions and faster time to market. We typically sell these products to LCD manufacturers.

 

    Our personal computer, or PC, solutions, include our TouchPadTM, ClickPadTM, ForcePadTM, Dual Pointing Solutions, and TouchStykTM product lines, which are touch-sensitive pads and other interfaces that sense the position, movement, force, or a combination thereof, applied by one or more fingers on its surface through the measurement of capacitance. We typically sell our PC solutions as a module to the contract manufacturers of original equipment manufacturers (OEM) for assembly into notebook computers or other PC products.

 

    Our Natural ID Fingerprint Identification products, used in both our mobile and PC solutions, is a fingerprint authentication solution that uses capacitive imaging technology, along with sophisticated digital image processing to unlock devices and access online services such as retail, banking, and social media portals. We typically sell our Natural ID Fingerprint products as a module to the contract manufacturers of OEMs or directly to the OEM for assembly into mobile or PC products.

 

II. Due Diligence

Based on the OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chain of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas (Second Edition OECD 2013) and the due diligence framework published by the Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition (EICC) and the Global e-Sustainability Initiative (GeSI), including the Conflict-Free Sourcing Initiative (CFSI) template developed jointly by the EICC-GeSI (the “Template”), the Registrant took the following measures, during calendar year 2014, to determine the source and chain of custody for the Minerals which the Registrant believed necessary to the functionality or production of products manufactured, or contracted to be manufactured, by the Registrant in such calendar year.

 

  1. The Registrant identified 65 suppliers, whom the Registrant believed could provide materials containing the Minerals necessary to the functionality or production of products manufactured by the Registrant, or contracted by the Registrant to be manufactured.


  2. The Registrant sent out a Conflict Minerals survey, based on the Template, to the suppliers described in No. 1 above requesting them to (a) determine whether they supplied the Registrant with metals or materials containing tin, tungsten, tantalum and/or gold; (b) conduct their own due diligence of their own supply chain; (c) using EICC-GeSI resources, identify all smelters in their supply chain that supply tin, tantalum, tungsten and/or gold; and (d) download, complete and return the Template to the Registrant identifying all smelters and whether such smelters were certified as conflict-free. For any non-conflict free certified smelters identified, the Registrant required the supplier to submit a plan detailing the supplier’s efforts to remove or replace the non-conflict free certified smelter. In addition, Registrant’s suppliers were required to establish and document a policy on conflict minerals.

 

  3. All suppliers identified in No. 1 above completed the steps described in No. 2 above. Three suppliers declared that their products did not contain any conflict minerals. Of the 62 suppliers who stated their products may contain conflict minerals, approximately 68% stated gold may be in the products supplied to Registrant; approximately 71% stated tin may be in the products supplied to Registrant; approximately 11% stated tantalum may be in the products supplied to Registrant; and approximately 20% stated tungsten may be in the products supplied to Registrant.

 

  4. 95% of the suppliers identified all smelters used in their supply chain in accordance with the Template and its instructions and of these suppliers, 95% certified that the metals or materials they supplied to Synaptics were conflict-free Minerals.

 

  5. Less than 5% of our suppliers were unable to fully disclose their smelters due to confidentiality policies in place between the supplier and smelter.

 

  6. Synaptics compared the smelters identified by each of our suppliers to the list of smelters identified as conflict-free or “Active” by CFSI. Approximately 80% of the smelters used by our suppliers appeared on this list and are certified by the CFSI as conflict-free smelters or as Active smelters currently undergoing or committed to undergoing a Conflict-Free Smelter Program (CFSP) audit. All smelters who were identified by Registrant’s suppliers as providing conflict minerals are listed in Exhibit A below.

 

  a. Our suppliers used approximately 36 different smelters located in 12 different countries for tantalum. These countries include Austria, Brazil, China, Estonia, Germany, India, Japan, Kazakhstan, Russian Federation, South Africa, Thailand and the United States. Of these smelters, 100% are certified conflict-free smelters according to the CFSI compared to 72% of these smelters who were certified as conflict-free in the Registrant’s prior reporting period.


  b. Our suppliers used approximately 115 different smelters located in 29 different countries for gold. Those countries include Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Chile, China, Germany, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Mexico, the Netherlands, Philippines, Russian Federation, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, South Africa, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan, Turkey, United States, and Uzbekistan. Of these smelters, approximately 84% are certified conflict-free smelters or are Active smelters as defined by the CFSI compared to 25% of these smelters who were certified as conflict-free in the Registrant’s prior reporting period.

 

  c. Our suppliers used approximately 88 different smelters located in 19 different countries for tin. These countries include Belgium, Bolivia, Brazil, Canada, China, France, Germany, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, Peru, Poland, Russian Federation, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, United Kingdom, the United States, and Vietnam. Of these smelters, approximately 76% are certified conflict-free smelters or are Active smelters as defined by the CFSI compared to 8% of these smelters who were certified as conflict-free in the Registrant’s prior reporting period.

 

  d. Our suppliers used approximately 37 different smelters located in 8 different countries for tungsten. These countries include Austria, Canada, China, Germany, Japan, Russian Federation, the United States, and Vietnam. Of these smelters, approximately 65% are certified conflict-free smelters according to the CFSI compared to 2% of these smelters who were certified as conflict-free in the Registrant’s prior reporting period.

 

  7. Based on these due diligence efforts, Synaptics is unable, at this time, to conclusively determine the countries of origin of all the Minerals used in its products.

In calendar year 2014, we conducted the due diligence efforts described in this Report to determine the mine or location of the necessary conflict minerals in our products. We relied on the information provided by independent third party audit programs, such as the CFSI, to determine whether the smelters disclosed by our suppliers had been conflict-free certified or were “Active smelters” who had committed to undergo a Conflict-Free Smelter Program audit, according to the CFSI’s standards. For the Reporting Period, certain smelters had not yet received a conflict-free designation from an independent third party audit program such as the CFSI.

Suppliers who had non-conflict free certified smelters in their supply chain in calendar year 2014 were required to submit a plan to the Registrant detailing their efforts to either remove or replace such smelter. We also created an audit plan in calendar year 2014 to specifically audit the design, performance and effectiveness of our due diligence framework and due diligence measures as they relate to the Minerals.

As discussed above, where possible, the Registrant has relied on third party assurances and certifications. For example, the Registrant accepts as reliable any smelter that is a member of the CFSI program. To the extent that other audited supplier


certifications are provided to the Registrant, the Registrant may consider reliance on such certifications on a case-by-case basis.

 

III. Additional Due Diligence and Risk Mitigation

We will continue to monitor our supply chain, including smelters used by our suppliers and anticipate that in future years, we will be able to determine, with greater specificity, which of the smelters used by our suppliers are conflict-free. Specifically, we will continue to monitor and pressure our supply chain to provide complete and accurate information regarding their smelters who provide the Minerals; continue to pressure our supply chain to either remove or replace non conflict-free certified smelters from their own supply chain; and engage with third-party auditors to audit our due diligence design and measures, including the results from supplier responses to the Template.

Due to the size, breadth and complexity of our supply chain, the process of successfully tracing all of the necessary Minerals used in our products back to their country of origin will require additional time and resources. Our ability to make determinations about the presence and source of origin of such Minerals in our products depends upon a number of factors including, but not limited to, (i) the respective due diligence efforts of our tier one suppliers and their supply chain, as well as their willingness to disclose such information to us, and (ii) the ability and willingness of our supply chain to adopt the OECD Guidance and other initiatives or guidance that may develop over time with respect to responsible sourcing. The inability to obtain reliable information from any level of our supply chain could have a material impact on our ability to provide meaningful information on the presence and origin of necessary Minerals in our products’ supply chain with any reasonable degree of certainty. There can be no assurance that our suppliers will continue to cooperate with our diligence inquiries and our requests for certifications, or to provide us with the documentation or other evidence that we consider reliable in a timeframe sufficient to allow us to make a reasonable and reliable assessment following appropriate further diligence measures, as may be required.
