Section 1—Conflict Minerals Disclosure

Item 1.01 Conflict Minerals Disclosure and Report

NXP Semiconductors N.V. (“NXP”) has determined that during 2015 it manufactured and contracted to manufacture products as to which conflict minerals, as defined in Rule 13p-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (the “Rule”), are necessary to the functionality or production. NXP has conducted a good faith reasonable country of origin inquiry (the “RCOI”) regarding those conflict minerals reasonably designed to determine whether any of the conflict minerals originated in the Democratic Republic of the Congo or an adjoining country (the “DRC Region”) or were from recycled or scrap sources. Based on the RCOI, NXP has reason to believe that some portion of the conflict minerals necessary to the functionality or production of its products may have originated in the DRC Region and has reason to believe that some of this material was not derived from recycled or scrap sources.

Conflict Minerals Report

For the reporting period from January 1, 2015 to December 31, 2015

This Conflict Minerals Report (the “Report”) of NXP Semiconductors N.V. has been prepared under Rule 13p-1 and Form SD (the “Rule”) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, for the reporting period January 1, 2015 to December 31, 2015. NXP Semiconductors N.V. refers to the operations of NXP Semiconductors N.V. and its subsidiaries and may be referred to as the “Company,” “NXP,” “we,” “us” or “our,” as the context requires. The content of any website referred to in this Report is included for general information only and is not incorporated by reference into this Report. On December 7, 2015, NXP completed the merger of Freescale Semiconductor, Ltd. (“Freescale”). The information presented in this Report during calendar year 2015 reflects the consolidated operations of NXP and Freescale. Information with respect to all other historical periods reflects the operations of NXP only. This Report has not been subject to an independent private sector audit.

The Rule requires disclosure of certain information when a company manufactures or contracts to manufacture products for which specified minerals are necessary to the functionality or production of those products. The specified minerals are columbite-tantalite (coltan), cassiterite, wolframite, tantalum, tin, tungsten and gold, which we collectively refer to in this Report as “Covered Minerals”. For the purposes of this Report, we refer to the Democratic Republic of the Congo and any adjoining country that shares an internationally recognized border with the Democratic Republic of the Congo as the “DRC Region”.

Certain matters discussed in this Report include forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance. Actual results or developments may differ materially from the expectations expressed in the forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to update any information contained in this Report.

NXP has determined that Covered Minerals are necessary to the functionality or production of products that it manufactures or contracts to manufacture.

Description of NXP’s Products Covered by this Report

This Report relates to products: (i) for which Covered Minerals are necessary to the functionality or production; (ii) that were manufactured, or contracted to be manufactured, by NXP; and (iii) for which the manufacture was completed during calendar year 2015 (collectively, the “Covered Products”).

NXP designs and manufactures semiconductor product solutions that make lives easier, safer and more connected. Our products are incorporated into a wide range of our customers’ end-market applications including, but not limited to: automotive (such as advanced driver assistance systems, car entertainment and secure vehicle access); security and privacy (such as mobile transactions, e-Government, smart bank cards and user authentication); consumer (such as mobile audio, personal health & fitness and healthcare); and industrial (such as smart homes, smart cities and wireless infrastructure). We also provide development tools to our customers to aid in the design and evaluation of our semiconductor products. For the purposes of this Report, we have grouped our Covered Products into two categories: Semiconductor Products and Customer Development Tools. The Semiconductor Products category includes all semiconductor devices sold to our customers for incorporation into end-market applications. The Customer Development Tools category includes hardware products designed for customer evaluations or research and development and represents an immaterial amount of NXP product revenues. Customer Development Tools are not intended to be incorporated into our customers’ products.

NXP’s Due Diligence Process

As required under the Rule, for the reporting period from January 1 to December 31, 2015, NXP has taken the measures described in this Report to exercise due diligence on the source and chain of custody of Covered Minerals necessary to the functionality or production of the Covered Products. NXP’s due diligence measures have been designed to conform to the framework in the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chain of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High Risk Areas: Second Edition, including the related supplements on gold, tin, tantalum and tungsten (the “OECD Guidance”), as it relates to our position as a “downstream” purchaser.


Step 1: Establish Strong Company Management Systems

NXP believes taking responsibility for its impact on the world is crucial to the company’s success, its ability to deliver value to stakeholders, and for protecting the environment for future generations. We have established goals for corporate governance, people practices, product development, manufacturing, environment and community responsibility. NXP standards on social responsibility have been deployed through extensive training programs. We adopted a conflict-free sourcing policy in 2010. The latest version of our conflict-free sourcing policy can be found on our company website at http://cache.nxp.com/files/corporate/doc/support_info/NXP-STATEMENT-CONFLICT-MINERALS.pdf.

NXP has also adopted a Supplier Code of Conduct, available at http://www.nxp.com/about/corporate-responsibility/ethics/supplier-responsibility:SUPPLIER-RESPONSIBILITY. Among other things, the Supplier Code of Conduct communicates NXP’s expectations to its suppliers with respect to responsible sourcing of Covered Minerals. Suppliers are expected to have a policy to reasonably assure that Covered Minerals in the products they supply do not directly or indirectly finance or benefit armed groups that are perpetrators of serious human rights abuses in the DRC Region. Suppliers must exercise due diligence on the source and chain of custody of these minerals and make their due diligence measures available to NXP upon request.

An NXP internal team from the procurement and quality organizations led its Covered Minerals supply chain due diligence efforts. NXP’s Vice President of Global Quality oversaw the activities of this internal team.

Step 2: Identify and Assess Risks in the Supply Chain

NXP’s supply chain is complex, and in most cases there are many third parties in the supply chain between NXP’s ultimate manufacture of the Covered Products and the original sources of Covered Minerals. NXP requires its suppliers to identify the smelters and refiners of Covered Minerals in their supply chain. In most cases, our suppliers reported this information using the broadly adopted conflict minerals reporting template developed by the Conflict Free Sourcing Initiative (“CFSI”), a multi-industry initiative consisting of over 200 companies and associations. Due to the complexity of our supply chain, we rely on our suppliers for the accuracy and completeness of this information. In most cases, our suppliers submitted a consolidated smelter and refiner report for all of their products and materials, not just products and materials provided to NXP.

Step 3: Design and Implement a Strategy to Respond to Identified Risks

Our procurement organization has implemented escalation procedures for suppliers who (i) provide products that incorporate Covered Minerals from smelters or refiners that do not comply with a third-party audit program or (ii) have not provided details on the sourcing of Covered Minerals in their supply chain. Under these procedures, our procurement organization developed a list of corrective actions which included a timeline for compliance and a decision to continue or temporarily suspend trade with the supplier during the corrective action period. Suppliers who did not make satisfactory progress addressing the identified corrective actions were reported to NXP’s chief procurement officer.

NXP’s due diligence measures with respect to identified smelters and refiners were primarily based on multi-industry due diligence initiatives to evaluate the procurement practices of the smelters and refiners that process and provide Covered Minerals to our supply chain. In some cases, suppliers reported smelters and refiners that we believe were not operational or may have been misidentified as smelters and refiners. Where practicable, NXP contacted or attempted to contact smelters and refiners that were neither currently compliant nor in the process of becoming compliant with a third-party audit program. Upon contact, we requested more information about the country of origin of the Covered Minerals utilized in the smelter’s operations and encouraged CFSI or other third-party audit program participation.

Step 4: Carry out Independent Third-Party Audit of Smelter/Refiner’s Due Diligence Practices

We believe that engagement and active cooperation with other industry members with whom we share suppliers can assist in the identification of risks in NXP’s supply chain by facilitating identification of smelters and refiners and assessment of their due diligence practices. NXP is a member of, and participates in, IPC (a global trade association serving the printed board and electronics assembly industries), the Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition (EICC), and the World Semiconductor Council, to improve the quality of our due diligence processes and data, and to work toward responsible sourcing of Covered Minerals.

In 2015, NXP was an active participant in CFSI’s Conflict Free Smelter Program (“CFSP”), an independent third-party audit program developed according to global standards (including the OECD Guidance) to identify smelters and refiners that have systems in place to assure sourcing of only conflict-free materials. NXP is a member of CFSI, with member identification number “NXPI”. NXP intends to continue active collaboration with industry peers on responsible sourcing in the coming years. In early 2016, NXP contributed $15,000 USD to the CFSP Audit Fund to boost the ability of new smelters and refiners to enter the program.


Step 5: Report Annually on Supply Chain Due Diligence

This Report is publicly available at http://www.nxp.com/about/corporate-responsibility/ethics/conflict-minerals:CONFLICT-MINERALS.

Results of NXP Due Diligence Measures

For the reporting period from January 1 to December 31, 2015, based upon an internal assessment and information provided by our suppliers, NXP identified suppliers who provided materials likely to incorporate Covered Minerals necessary to the functionality of the Covered Products (the “Covered Minerals Suppliers”).

This Report reflects 130 valid responses from NXP Covered Minerals Suppliers. These 130 suppliers represent 86% of the amount NXP paid to all Covered Minerals Suppliers in 2015. NXP has engaged non-responsive Covered Minerals Suppliers under the escalation procedures described in Step 3 above.

Based on the information provided by our suppliers and information otherwise obtained through the due diligence process, NXP has reasonably determined that the facilities that may have been used to process the Covered Minerals in NXP’s Semiconductor Products and Customer Development Tools in 2015 include the smelters and refiners (SORs) listed in Annex I.

Based on information received through the CFSP or equivalent independent third-party audit programs as of March 2, 2016, and information otherwise obtained through our research, NXP has reason to believe the countries of origin for the Covered Minerals contained in our Semiconductor Products and Customer Development Tools include the countries listed in Annex II.

We identified 298 SORs for all Covered Minerals in our supply chain. This included 216 SORs that were compliant with a third-party audit program (Validated) and an additional 38 smelters and refiners that were participating in a program to become compliant (Active). Among these 298 SORs, 40 were reported as sourcing Covered Minerals from the DRC Region; all 40 were compliant with the CFSP assessment protocols.

* CFSI SOR Status as of March 2, 2016

NXP identified 44 high-risk SORs with unknown mine regions that were neither currently compliant nor in the process of becoming compliant with a third-party audit program. We contacted or attempted to contact 36 SORs to request more information about the country of origin of the Covered Minerals utilized in the SORs’ operations and encouraged the SORs to participate in a third party certification program. We were unable to obtain contact information for eight identified SORs, and we believe seven of these 44 SORs either temporarily or permanently ceased operations.

Based upon CFSI SOR status as of March 2, 2016, all tantalum smelters in our supply chain were compliant with a third-party audit program.

Additional Measures

NXP intends to continue taking the following steps this year to improve its due diligence measures and to further mitigate the risk that NXP’s use of Covered Minerals might finance or benefit armed groups in the DRC Region:

 

    Update the list of products and Covered Minerals Suppliers to be included in NXP’s due diligence process for the 2016 reporting year;

 

    Re-engage each Covered Minerals Supplier to obtain current and accurate information about the supplier’s supply chain of Covered Minerals;

 

    Execute NXP’s escalation procedure with each Covered Minerals Supplier that (i) is non-responsive to requests for information or (ii) does not have systems in place to ensure sourcing of materials that comply with a third-party audit program; and

 

    Participate in industry initiatives encouraging “conflict-free” supply chains and identifying “conflict-free” smelters and refiners.
