Introduction
 
This Specialized Disclosure Report on Form SD ("Form SD") of Silicom Ltd. ("Silicom" or "we") for the year ended December 31, 2018 is presented to comply with Rule 13p-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended ("Rule"). 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"). Conflict minerals are defined by the SEC as columbite-tantalite (coltan), cassiterite, gold, wolframite, or their derivatives, which are limited to tantalum, tin, and tungsten. The Rule imposes certain reporting obligations on SEC registrants whose products contain conflict minerals that are necessary to the functionality or production of their products (such minerals are referred to as "necessary conflict minerals"). 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, collectively defined as the "Covered Countries."  If, based on such inquiry, the registrant knows or has reason to believe that any of the necessary conflict minerals contained in its products originated or may have originated in a Covered Country and knows or has reason to believe that those necessary conflict minerals may not be solely from recycled or scrap sources, the registrant must conduct due diligence on the necessary conflict minerals’ source and chain of custody as a method to conclude if the necessary conflict minerals contained in those products did or did not directly or indirectly finance or benefit armed groups in the Covered Countries.  Products which do not contain necessary conflict minerals that directly or indirectly finance or benefit armed groups in the Covered Countries are considered "DRC conflict free". In addition, conflict minerals that a registrant obtains from recycled or scrap sources are also considered "DRC conflict free."
 
We use the term "conflict free" in this Form SD in a broader sense to refer to suppliers, supply chains, smelters and refiners whose sources of conflict minerals did not or do not directly or indirectly finance or benefit armed groups in the Covered Countries.

The products detailed above constitute all products and product lines that we manufactured or sub-contracted to manufacture in the 2018 calendar year. Accordingly, we determined that none of our products qualified as DRC conflict free in the 2018 calendar year.
 
Overview of Silicom's Conflict Minerals Program
 
As a product manufacturer, we are knowledgeable about the design of our products, including the materials needed to construct them.  We design the manufacturing processes to build those products and in some cases, design the detailed materials to manufacture those products. As a result, we know that conflict minerals (tantalum, tin, tungsten and gold, also referred to as "3TG") are necessary to the functionality or production of all of our products. Conflict minerals are obtained, via our direct suppliers, from sources worldwide, and our desire is not to eliminate those originating in the Covered Countries but rather to obtain conflict minerals from sources that do not directly or indirectly finance or benefit armed groups in the Covered Countries.
 
Conflict Minerals Sourcing Policy
 
Silicom's policy with respect to the sourcing of conflict minerals is as follows:
 
Silicom expects its suppliers to have in place policies and due diligence measures that will enable it to reasonably assure that products and components supplied to it containing conflict minerals are DRC conflict free. Silicom expects its suppliers to comply with the Global e-Sustainability Initiative and with the Responsible Minerals Initiative ("RMI") (formerly the Conflict Free Sourcing Initiative, or CFSI) and conduct their business in alignment with Silicom's supply chain responsibility expectations.
 
In support of this policy, Silicom will:
 
·
exercise due diligence with relevant suppliers consistent with the OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas and will encourage our suppliers to do likewise with their suppliers.
 
·
provide, and expect its suppliers to cooperate in providing, due diligence information to confirm the 3TG in its supply-chain is DRC conflict free.
 
·
collaborate with its suppliers and others on industry-wide solutions to encourage the manufacturing of products that are DRC conflict free.
 
·
commit to transparency in the implementation of this policy by making available reports on its progress to relevant stakeholders and the public.
 
The full text of Silicom's Conflict Minerals Sourcing Policy is available at http://www.silicom-usa.com/conflict-minerals/. The content of any website referred to in this Form SD is included for general information only and is not incorporated by reference in this Form SD.
 
Supply Chain Description
 
Although Silicom's hardware products contain conflict minerals, Silicom does not purchase any conflict minerals directly from mines and is many steps removed in the supply chain from the mining of the conflict minerals. Silicom purchases materials used in its products from its suppliers and some of those materials contribute necessary conflict minerals to its products and/or production process. The origin of conflict minerals cannot be determined with any certainty once the ores are smelted, refined and converted to ingots, bullion or other conflict minerals containing derivatives. The smelters and refiners (sometimes referred to as "facilities") are consolidating points for ore and are in the best position in the total supply chain to know the origin of the ores. Silicom relies on its direct suppliers to assist with its 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.
 
During the past several years, we have asked our potential suppliers to provide evidence of being conflict-free, and the presentation of such evidence has become a major consideration in our engagement process with new suppliers.
 
Silicom has well established and structured the process of new supplier approval, when information about conflict minerals is necessary for supplier approval.
SECTION 1 – CONFLICT MINERALS DISCLOSURE
 
Item 1.01          Conflict Minerals Disclosure and Report
 
Description of Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry ("RCOI") Efforts
 
Below is a description of Silicom's efforts to determine whether any of the necessary conflict minerals in its products originated in the Covered Countries during 2018.
 
Silicom conducted an analysis of its products and the production process thereof and found that 3TG are used in all of its products.
 
For 2018, Silicom conducted a supply chain survey with all the suppliers and manufacturers from whom it purchases components used in its products in order to obtain country of origin information for the necessary conflict minerals in its products using the Conflict Minerals Reporting Template ("CMRT"), an industry standard template for conflict minerals reporting designed by the RMI. However, as a result of the complexity of Silicom's products and the constant evolution of its supply chain, it is difficult to identify sub-tier suppliers downstream from the direct suppliers and manufacturers from whom Silicom purchases components used in its products ("Suppliers").
 
Suppliers who are relevant for the survey were thoroughly chosen using following process:
 
1.
A list of all suppliers and manufacturers from whom Silicom purchases its products was generated from Silicom's ERP system. The total number of Suppliers was 804.
 
2.
Irrelevant suppliers and manufacturers were then eliminated from the list mentioned above. Irrelevant suppliers and manufacturers are defined as those who (a) do not provide goods, but rather provide services, office supplies, infrastructure services, etc.; (b) do not provide goods that are part of Silicom's products (i.e. packaging); (c) supply components or materials that do not, by their nature, contain 3TG materials (i.e. paper labels, glue, etc.); (d) inactive suppliers and manufacturers (i.e. suppliers and manufacturers from whom Silicom did not purchase any products in 2018). After such elimination Silicom remained with 250 suppliers and manufacturers.
 
3.
Silicom sent requests to such 250 suppliers and manufacturers that were active suppliers and manufacturers during 2018.
 
Silicom requested such suppliers and manufacturers to complete a conflict minerals survey, based on the CMRT.
 
All received CMRTs were checked and verified against a list of active and complaint smelters published by the RMI. In the case of non-conformance in the answers delivered by the suppliers and manufacturers in the CMRTs, Silicom contacted suppliers and manufacturers in order to receive updated valid CMRTs.
 
The supply chain survey requested information from the direct suppliers and manufacturers in order to identify the smelters and refiners and countries of origin of the conflict minerals in products they supply to Silicom. Silicom received responses from its suppliers and manufacturers, representing over 99.9% of its total direct spend with its suppliers and manufacturers during 2018. Silicom compared the smelters and refiners identified in the surveys against the lists of facilities that have received a "conflict free" designation by the RMI. Those designations provide country of origin information on the conflict minerals sourced by such facilities (such as third party software providers' databases).
 
In the case of non-responsive suppliers and manufacturers, Silicom, through its Sustainability Team, attempted to contact such suppliers and manufacturers by email and telephone at least three times.
 
Suppliers' and manufacturers' responses were examined and the quality and relevance of their answers were verified when required, including by validation of all CMRTs that were provided to Silicom. The goal of data validation was to increase the accuracy of the responses that were provided to Silicom and identify any discrepancies and contradictory answers in the CMRTs.
 
When a smelter or refiner in Silicom's supply chain was not listed as having received a "conflict free" designation, Silicom asked its suppliers and manufacturers to proactively contact such facility and requested country of origin information for the necessary conflict minerals that it processed.  In addition, Silicom is taking all measures that it deems fit in order to replace such suppliers and manufacturers with others who are declared as conflict-free. Silicom documented country of origin information for the smelters and refiners identified by the supply-chain survey.
 
There is a significant overlap between Silicom's RCOI efforts and its due diligence measures performed. Silicom's due diligence measures performed were based on the findings of RCOI and are discussed further in the Conflict Minerals Report filed as Exhibit 1.02 hereto.

Conflict Minerals Report
 
For The Year Ended December 31, 2018
 
This report for the year ended December 31, 2018 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"). These requirements apply to registrants whatever the geographic origin of the conflict minerals and whether or not they fund armed conflict. 
 
Design of Conflict Minerals Due 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.  
 
Description of Performed Conflict Minerals Due Diligence Program
 
(i)
Maintaining of Strong Company Management Systems
 
  a.
Silicom has adopted and committed to a Conflict Minerals policy for minerals originating from conflict-affected and high-risk areas. More information about Silicom's Conflict Minerals policy can be found in the RCOI section above.
 Our management system includes a Conflict Minerals 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.
Silicom has implemented a supply chain system of controls and transparency through the use of due diligence software provided by third party software supplier.
 
  c.
In the process of engaging with new manufacturers and suppliers, Silicom requests that such suppliers provide it with complete and valid CMRTs as a condition for Silicom's engagement with such manufacturers and suppliers.
 
 
   d.
Silicom conducts trainings to suppliers and manufacturers from whom it purchases components used in its products, assists suppliers and manufacturers in educating their own suppliers, by informing them on the Rule, referring suppliers and manufacturers to the Responsible Minerals Initiative ("RMI") (formerly the Conflict Free Sourcing Initiative, or CFSI) website and online training materials and providing Silicom's Conflict Minerals policy and due diligence procedures.
 
  e.
Silicom documents and maintains a record maintenance mechanism to ensure the retaining of relevant documentation in an electronic database for at least 5 years.
 
  f.
Silicom encourages employees, suppliers and manufacturers and stakeholders to report any concerns relating to its conflict minerals program by contacting Silicom on its Conflict Minerals page: http://www.silicom-usa.com/conflict-minerals/.
 

(ii)
Identification and Assessment of Risk in the Supply Chain

Suppliers and manufacturers (including smelters and refiners) of products which include Conflict Minerals which are "necessary to the functionality of the products" were identified through our CMRT analysis.

 We identified two primary risks in our supply chain: (1) not receiving on time and accurate information from the suppliers and manufacturers; and (2) reliance on suppliers and manufacturers who are not conflict-free while pursuing our goal of becoming a conflict free company. This assessment assisted us to segment our suppliers and manufacturers into three risk levels (high, medium and low), on which we based our risk strategy.

We conducted a survey of our active suppliers and manufacturers using the template developed by RMI, known as the Conflict Minerals Reporting Template ("CMRT"). Suppliers and manufacturers were requested to use version 5.11 of the CMRT, or newer versions.
 
(iii)
Design and Implementation of a Strategy to Respond to Identified Risks
 
  a.
We performed reviews of suppliers and manufacturers, smelters, and refiners that could be sourcing or processing Conflict Minerals from the Covered Countries, which could not be from recycled or scrap sources.
 
  b.
As part of our risk based approach, we decided to focus our risk management actions on suppliers and manufacturers with a spending volume of over US$ 1,000 in 2018. We requested smelter information from all of our direct suppliers and manufacturers, and prioritized suppliers and manufacturers with a spending volume of over US$ 1,000. In cases where sure prioritized suppliers and manufacturers did not respond to our initial requests, we attempted to contact them several additional times in order to obtain the necessary information from them.
 
  c.
We monitored and tracked suppliers and manufacturers (as described in RCOI section above), smelters and/or refiners identified as not meeting the requirements (or that defined themselves as "Unknown" or "Undeterminable" or "Sourced from DRC") set forth in our Conflict Minerals Sourcing Policy or contractual requirements to determine their progress in meeting those requirements.
 
  d.
New suppliers and manufacturers were required to complete RMI declarations in order to qualify as approved suppliers and manufacturers by us.
 
  e.
We provided periodic progress reports to our senior management relating to our risk mitigation efforts.
 
  f.
In general, supply chain Due Diligence is a dynamic process and requires on-going risk monitoring. This process is performed twice a year and an updated CMRT is released after completion of each Due Diligence cycle.
 
  g.
Follow up letters were sent to high and medium risk suppliers and manufacturers who were identified as having non-compliant smelters in their supply chain. Non-responsive suppliers and manufacturers were reminded to send their responses several times by e-mails and, if they remained non-responsive thereafter, such suppliers and manufacturers were personally approached by our Sustainability Team or by our Purchasing Team and warned that if they remain non-responsive despite our continued attempts to receive their responses, they will be removed from our approved suppliers and manufacturers list. In cases where such suppliers and manufacturers remained non-responsive nonetheless, we removed them from our approved suppliers and manufacturers list.
 
(iv)
Carry out Independent Third-Party Audit of Smelter/Refiner’s Due Diligence Practices:
 
            We encourage our suppliers and manufacturers to purchase from RMI Compliant Smelters, and we rely on the RMI compliant and active smelters list, which is available on the RMI website.
 
(v)
Report on Supply Chain Due Diligence
 
This Report is available on our website at http://www.silicom-usa.com/conflict-minerals/. This Report is being filed to the SEC and is also available on the SEC's EDGAR database at www.sec.gov.
Results of our Assessment
 
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 manufacturers and those suppliers and manufacturers seeking similar information within their supply chains to identify the original sources of the necessary conflict minerals. We also gather required CMRT 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 because the information gathered from our suppliers and manufacturers is not on a continuous, real-time basis.
 
Supplier Chain Survey Responses
 
Silicom contacted 250 suppliers and manufacturers, and the response rate achieved was over 99.9% in cost of purchased goods.
 
The Sustainability Team directly contacted Silicom's suppliers and manufacturers in order to collect CMRTs. Following the efforts of the Sustainability Team, 230 suppliers and manufacturers delivered satisfactory CMRTs. For the purposes hereof, Silicom considers CMRTs to be satisfactory if they do not include any deficiencies or discrepancies and comply, in form and in substance, with the terms governing the RMI, such as blank rows, scope not matching PN list, inclusion of irrelevant information, etc.
 
4 of the 250 suppliers and manufacturers delivered CMRTs with invalid supplier submissions, like incorrect smelter names or invalid CID identification numbers. Following our requests for improved CMRTs, we received satisfactory CMRTs submissions from all such suppliers and manufacturers.
 
80 suppliers and manufacturers were classified as "Not from DRC" – suppliers and manufacturers who reported that they were sourcing minerals from countries other than the Covered Countries.
 
97 suppliers and manufacturers were classified as "DRC conflict free" – suppliers and manufacturers who reported that the 3TG minerals used in the products provided to Silicom originate from Covered Countries but the smelters are approved by the RMI
 
8 suppliers and manufacturers were classified as "DRC not conflict free" – suppliers and manufacturers who reported that the 3TG minerals used in the products provided to Silicom originate from Covered Countries and the smelters are not approved by the RMI.
 
21 suppliers and manufacturers were classified as "Free no 3TG" – suppliers and manufacturers who reported that 3TG minerals are not necessary for the functionality or production of the products provided to Silicom.
 
8 suppliers and manufacturers were classified as "Undetermined not from DRC" – suppliers and manufacturers who reported that the 3TG used in the products supplied to Silicom do not originate from Covered Countries but since they have not yet concluded their due diligence process, their determination and responses are not yet final and may vary. Consequently, our due diligence for these suppliers and manufacturers is still ongoing.
 
16 suppliers and manufacturers were classified as "Undetermined from DRC" – suppliers and manufacturers who reported that the 3TG used in the products supplied to Silicom originate from Covered Countries and the smelters are approved by the RMI program, but they have not yet concluded their due diligence process so their determination and responses are not yet final and may vary. Consequently, our due diligence for these suppliers and manufacturers is still ongoing.
 
Of the 230 suppliers and manufacturers that delivered satisfactory CMRTs:
 
131 suppliers and manufacturers provided data at a "Company" level;
 
33 suppliers and manufacturers provided data at a "User defined" level;
 
66 suppliers and manufacturers provided data at a "Product" level;
As we are attentive to market requests, we asked several of these suppliers and manufacturers to provide data at a "Company" level as well as at a "Product" level, and such suppliers and manufacturers provided the data at both levels.
 
Below is a summary of the country of origin information collected as a result of our RCOI efforts.

Continuous Improvement Efforts to Mitigate Risks
 
During the reporting period for the calendar year ending December 31, 2019, we are continuing to engage in the diligence process described above.
 
We intend to follow up with high risk non-responsive or non-compliant suppliers and manufacturers, work with suppliers and manufacturers to educate them on conflict minerals sourcing, contact selected smelters and refiners that have not received a "conflict free" designation and more. In the event that any of our suppliers and manufacturers do not cooperate with us and do not respond to our efforts in a satisfactory manner, we will disqualify them and remove them from our approved suppliers and manufacturers list.
In the event that we continue to engage with suppliers and manufacturers who have not completed their RCOI process, we will ask such suppliers and manufacturers to complete the process and become conflict free at a company or product level as a condition to our continued engagement with them.
 
In addition, being attentive to the market and to our customers, we are currently in the process of qualifying our line of products as "conflict free" by, among other things, requesting from all of our direct suppliers and manufacturers to qualify the goods supplied by them to Silicom as "Conflict Free", replacing, where possible and appropriate, non-compliant suppliers and manufacturers with compliant ones and removal of non-compliant vendors from our approved vendors list.
