Conflict Minerals Report

This Conflict Minerals Report for Lattice Semiconductor Corporation is prepared pursuant to Rule 13p-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Rule 13p-1”) for the reporting period that ended December 31, 2015.

Lattice Semiconductor Corporation (collectively with its subsidiaries “Lattice,” “we,” or “our”) designs, develops and markets programmable logic and connectivity solutions. Lattice has adopted a Conflict Minerals Sourcing Policy that expresses our desire to have our products free from conflict minerals that are sourced from the Democratic Republic of the Congo and its adjoining countries (“Covered Countries”) and finance or benefit armed groups (“DRC Conflict Free”). Conflict minerals are tantalum, tungsten, tin and gold, and their derivatives.

Products and Initiatives

Based on our internal assessment, our semiconductor devices, evaluation boards, and development hardware that we contract to manufacture contain conflict minerals that are necessary to their functionality (the “3TG Products”). In order to achieve a Conflict Free supply chain and to comply with reporting requirements, we established processes designed to determine the source and chain of custody of conflict minerals in the 3TG Products.

Consistent with the OECD Framework, we established a risk management process that includes a formal Corporate Social Responsibility (“CSR”) initiative. As part of our CSR initiative, we structured our internal processes to support supply chain due diligence by participating in industry-driven programs, including our support and adoption of the Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition (“EICC”) Code of Conduct. Additionally, we strengthened our engagement with suppliers and adopted our Conflict Minerals Sourcing Policy, which is available on the Corporate Social Responsibility page of our website at http://www.latticesemi.com/About/ CorporateSocialResponsibility.aspx.

Diligence on Source and Chain of Custody

We conducted good faith reasonable country of origin inquiries and due diligence to determine whether any conflict minerals in 3TG Products originated in the Covered Countries. Because we are at least several levels removed from the mining, refining and smelting of conflict minerals, we rely upon certifications from our supply chain concerning the use and source of conflict minerals in our 3TG Products. Our diligence measures can only provide a reasonable assurance regarding the source and chain of custody of conflict minerals in our supply chain.

In order to identify and assess risks in our supply chain, we followed industry standards by requesting all suppliers to identify the processing facilities and other data related to conflict minerals in the 3TG Products using the Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition and Global e-Sustainability (“EICC/GeSI”) Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (the “CMRT”). If a supplier did not respond or provided an insufficient response, we engaged in further discussions with that supplier until we received the requested information. Our policy is to disengage with any supplier from whom we did not receive a sufficient response after multiple inquiries. In 2015, over 99% of our product related revenues originated from semiconductor devices, and 100% of our suppliers of semiconductor devices provided sufficient responses to our request. Of the remaining fraction, three suppliers of our evaluation boards and development hardware provided incomplete responses to our request. We are working with these suppliers to ensure we receive an adequate response for future reporting periods.

In order to determine the source and chain of custody of any conflict minerals in our supply chain, we compiled and analyzed the CMRT results, attempted to confirm reported results where appropriate, identified possible risks in our supply chain, and identified smelters and refiners certified by the internationally-recognized Conflict Free Sourcing Initiative (CFSI) Conflict-Free Smelter Program (“CFSP”). The CFSP identifies smelters as either Active, Compliant, or Eligible.

Active smelters have committed to undergo a CFSI third party validation audit and are progressing toward a Conflict Free designation.
Compliant smelters have been certified Conflict Free.
Eligible smelters are smelters that have been identified by CFSP but have not yet committed to undergo a validation audit.

These CFSP designations are an integral part of our risk management process because they provide us with independent third-party audits verifying processing facilities that source Conflict Free. The results of our supply chain due diligence are reported regularly to Lattice management.

Due Diligence Results

As a result of our due diligence, we identified 123 smelters and refiners as potential sources of conflict minerals in our supply chain. Of those smelters identified, 120 are CFSP Compliant and certified to be Conflict Free as of May 20, 2016. Of the three remaining smelters, two tin smelters are Active as defined by CFSP. One gold smelter is progressing toward a CFSP Compliant certification; this smelter provides materials for a single Lattice product.

Appendix I lists the country of origin and the facilities believed to process the conflict minerals contained in Lattice’s 3TG Products. Detailed smelter and refiner information is contained within our CMRT, which is available on our website at http://www.latticesemi.com/en/About/Corporate Social Responsibility.aspx.

Future Diligence Efforts

For the reporting period ending December 31, 2016, we continue to engage in the due diligence activities described in this report for all 3TG Products. We intend to further engage with our supply chain to ensure the upstream smelters and refiners that are not yet certified are progressing toward CFSP validation as Compliant and Conflict Free smelters.

This Conflict Minerals Report has not been subject to an independent private sector audit as allowed under a temporary exception in Rule 13p-1.
