Finisar Corporation
Conflict Minerals Report
For the reporting period from January 1, 2017 to December 31, 2017
Introduction
This Conflict Minerals Report (this “Report”) of Finisar Corporation has been prepared pursuant to Rule 13p‑1 and Form SD promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (collectively, the “Rule”) for the reporting period from January 1, 2017 to December 31, 2017.
The Rule requires disclosure of certain information when a registrant manufactures or contracts to manufacture products for which the minerals specified in the Rule are necessary to the functionality or production of those products. The specified minerals, which are collectively referred to in this Report as “Conflict Minerals,” are gold, columbite-tantalite (coltan), cassiterite and wolframite, including their derivatives, which are limited to tantalum, tin and tungsten. The “Covered Countries” for the purposes of the Rule and this Report are the Democratic Republic of the Congo (“the DRC”), the Republic of the Congo, the Central African Republic, South Sudan, Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, Tanzania, Zambia and Angola. For purposes of this Report, reference to “Finisar,” “we,” “our” or the “Company” mean Finisar Corporation and its subsidiaries. As further described in this Report, certain of the Company’s operations manufacture, or contract to manufacture, products for which certain Conflict Minerals are necessary to the functionality or production of those products.
The Company and its Products
The Company is a leading provider of optical subsystems and components that are incorporated by its customers into larger systems used in a variety of data communication and telecommunication applications.
Subsystem Products: The Company’s optical subsystems provide the fundamental optical-electrical, or optoelectronic, interface for interconnecting the equipment used in wireline and wireless communication networks, including switches, routers and servers. These products rely on the use of semiconductor lasers and photodetectors in conjunction with integrated circuits, or ICs, and optoelectronic packaging to provide a cost-effective means for transmitting and receiving digital signals over fiber optic cable at speeds ranging from less than 1 gigabit per second, or Gbps, to more than 100 Gbps, over distances of less than 10 meters to more than 2,000 kilometers. These optical subsystems include the following products:
•
Transmitters which use a laser plus direct or indirect modulation to convert electrical signals into optical signals for transmission over fiber optics;
•
Receivers which incorporate photodetectors and convert incoming optical signals into electrical signals;
•
Transceivers which combine both transmitter and receiver functions in a single device;
•
Transponders which include a data serializer-deserializer function that would otherwise reside in the customer’s equipment if a transceiver were used; and
•
Active Optical Cables that combine two transceivers and a fiber optic cable that are built into an integrated cable assembly.

The Company’s optical subsystem products support a wide range of network protocols, transmission speeds, fiber types, wavelengths, transmission distances, physical configurations and software enhancements.
The Company also offers products known as wavelength selective switches, or WSS. In long-haul and metro networks, each fiber may carry 50 to 100 different high-speed optical channels, each with its own specific optical wavelength. WSS are switches that are used to dynamically switch network traffic from one optical fiber to multiple other fibers without first converting the optical signal to an electronic signal. The wavelength selective feature means the WSS enable any wavelength or combination of wavelengths to be switched from the input fiber to the output fibers. WSS products are sometimes combined with other components and sold as linecards that plug into a system chassis referred to as a Reconfigurable Optical Add-Drop Multiplexer (ROADM).

1


Component Products: The Company manufactures a number of active and passive optical components including vertical cavity surface emitting lasers (VCSELs), Fabry-Perot, (FP) lasers, distributed feedback (DFB) lasers, tunable lasers, positive intrinsic negative (PIN), detectors, fused fiber couplers, isolators, filters, polarization beam combiners, interleavers, splitters and amplifiers. Most of these optical components are used internally in the manufacture of the Company’s optical subsystems. Some of these components are also sold in the so-called “merchant market” to other subsystems manufacturers.
Covered Products: This report relates to products: (i) for which Conflict Minerals are necessary to the functionality or production of the product; (ii) that were manufactured, or contracted to be manufactured, by the Company and (iii) for which the manufacture was completed during calendar year 2017. These products, which are referred to in this Report collectively as “Covered Products” consist of all of the Company’s subsystem products and component products.
Manufacturing and Supply Chain
We manufacture most of our optical subsystems at our production facilities in Ipoh, Malaysia and Wuxi, China. We manufacture short wavelength parallel optical transceiver products and certain passive optical components used in our long wavelength transceiver products, as well as ROADM linecards products and WSS assemblies, at our facility in Shanghai, China. We also manufacture WSS products at our facility near Sydney, Australia. We conduct a substantial portion of our new product introduction activities at our Sunnyvale, California, Horsham, Pennsylvania, and Sydney, Australia facilities. We also conduct a portion of our new product introduction operations at our Ipoh and Shanghai facilities. We conduct wafer fabrication operations for the manufacture of VCSELs used in short wavelength transceiver products at our facility in Allen, Texas. We conduct wafer fabrication operations for the manufacture of long wavelength FP and DFB lasers at our facility in Fremont, California. We conduct wafer fabrication operations for the manufacturing of tunable lasers and photonic integrated circuits (PICs), in our facility in Järfälla, Sweden. We use contract manufacturers for a portion of our manufacturing needs, primarily printed circuit board assemblies.
Supply chain management is coordinated from our Sunnyvale, California facility and our international purchasing office in Shenzhen, China. Our supply chain is complex. The majority of the commercially available off-the-shelf components used in our products are purchased through distributors. As such, Finisar may not have a direct relationship with the supplier(s). Our component suppliers and their respective sub-tier suppliers are principally responsible for the procurement of the raw materials used in the manufacture of the components used in our Covered Products. Raw materials purchased by our direct and indirect suppliers contain minerals, including Conflict Minerals, obtained from smelters or refiners that, in turn, source those minerals from brokers and/or traders who procure minerals from various countries. Because we do not purchase materials directly from these smelters and refiners, we have relied on our suppliers, and on information available from industry sources, for purposes of this Report.
Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry
Beginning in 2011, we have conducted an annual, good faith Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry (RCOI) regarding the Conflict Minerals used in, or in connection with, the production of the Covered Products. The RCOI was reasonably designed to determine whether any Conflict Minerals originated in the Covered Countries and whether any Conflict Minerals may have come from recycled or scrap sources. This investigation uses the Responsible Minerals Initiative’s (RMI, www.responsiblemineralsinitiative.org ) Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (CMRT) for gathering data from our suppliers.
Finisar’s supply chain spend data consistently shows that 90% of our supply chain spend is with our top 100 suppliers as ranked by total spend. Accordingly, the “Top 100” Suppliers was established as the starting point for the scope of the conflict minerals RCOI survey. Expanding the survey effort to cover 100% of spend increases the scope to ~900 suppliers. The scope is adjusted to include those suppliers who may have been in the “Top 100” in a prior year - and are now ranked below #100. Suppliers may be removed from the database if: they cease operations, are purchased by another organization, or if the level of Finisar’s business with them falls so low, there is no value in keeping that supplier active in the survey Additionally, a few of the “Top 100” rankings are claimed by component distributors. Therefore, Finisar expands the survey to include those component suppliers purchased through any distributor in the “Top 100”.
For 2017, our fifth year of supply chain surveys regarding conflict minerals, the survey covered 126 active suppliers.
Despite year-over-year improvements in supply chain transparency and RCOI data quality, we do not have complete information regarding the potential presence of conflict minerals across our supply chain. In 2017, many suppliers (61 of 126, 48%) provided company-level conflict minerals declarations. However, we also saw an increase in the number of suppliers who were able to provide more focused, product-level conflict mineral declarations (49 of 126, 39%), which

2


improves the overall data accuracy for Finisar’s consolidated report. For those suppliers who provide, company-wide reports, such reports do not identify which smelters specifically are used in the sourcing for the specific products supplied to Finisar. Therefore, Finisar reports all smelters, as being potentially in our supply chain, with any minerals originating in the conflict region as potentially supplied to Finisar. The results of our RCOI, program metrics, and due diligence efforts consider these limitations. By preferring a company-level CMRT whenever possible, our conflict minerals reporting addresses the status of our supply chain, even as the specific components sourced from each supplier may change throughout the year.
Considering the 126 suppliers in the CY2017 database, suppliers’ responses to Question 2 from the CMRT Declaration, “Does any 3TG remains in the products?”, shows that:
•
92 of our direct suppliers confirmed the use of gold, tin, tantalum, or tungsten in the products supplied to Finisar;
•
34 of our direct suppliers reported that the products supplied to Finisar do not include any gold, tin, tantalum, or tungsten.
Table 1, below, summarizes our suppliers’ responses to Question 5 from the CMRT Declaration, (“What percentage of relevant supplier have provided a response to your supply chain?”)

In total, our suppliers identified 248 legitimate smelters (by RMI identification number, or CID) who reported ore country of origin locations in 37 countries. The geographic profile based on the smelter data, shows that 2% of the Gold smelters identified by Finisar suppliers are located in Africa, including Covered Countries and non-covered countries - specifically South Africa. Our suppliers reported no Tin, Tungsten, or Tantalum smelters in Africa. Table 2 and Table 3 below summarize the findings from our 2017 Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry, based on unique CID. Smelter status was updated to reflect the information listed in the RMI database as of 15-March-2018:

At the end of CY2014, in an effort to drive improvement through the supply chain, we established internal goals for improving the “percent compliant” position of each mineral, with the aim of driving more smelters to achieve RMAP compliance, and for our supply chain to source more material from RMI-compliant smelters. The CY2017 goals were met or exceeded for Gold, Tin, Tungsten, and Tantalum.

Due Diligence Process
On the basis of the findings in our RCOI, we conducted a broader due diligence investigation regarding the source and chain of custody of the Conflict Minerals used in the Covered Products. The Company’s due diligence measures have been designed to conform to the framework in the Organization of 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”). The OECD Guidance specifies a five-step framework for risk-based due diligence for responsible supply chains of minerals sourced from conflict-affected and high-risk areas.
Step 1: Establish Strong Company Management Systems.
The first step in the OECD framework is to establish strong internal systems, including record-keeping and chain of custody tracking and/or traceability systems. To implement Step 1, we have taken the following actions:
•
In April 2011, we adopted our Conflict Minerals policy, which was revised in 2012, 2014 and 2016. The current policy statement is posted on our website (www.finisar.com ). The October 2014 revision clarified our corporate policy to not purchase from known conflict sources, and our expectation that our suppliers abide by the same standard. Further, this policy established the corporate goal to purchase from only responsible, conflict-free sources, as validated by the Responsible Minerals Initiative (the "RMI");
•
We established a cross-functional Conflict Minerals Working Group under the direction of our Global Quality System Manager and including representatives of our Legal, Finance, Global Supply Chain, and Internal Audit Departments. This group reports its activities to our executive management at quarterly-scheduled meetings and bi-annually to the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors;
•
We adopted our Conflict Minerals Due Diligence and Reporting procedure in 2013 to receive inquiries and grievances regarding our conflict minerals programs and practices. This procedure was refined in February, 2014 to define the requirements regarding follow-up investigations after the report of alleged suspect conflict sources, and in October 2014 to incorporate best-practices identified from the September 2014 RMI member workshop. The July-2016 update to our procedure incorporated feedback learned through the RMAP peer-review program offered by RMI’s Due Diligences Practices team following the May-2016 filing deadline;
•
We communicated the Company Policy to our direct suppliers and requested that they conduct their own RCOI and return a completed RMI Conflict Minerals Reporting Template. In 2014, we added the topic of Conflict Minerals to our Supplier Assessment process in our supply chain to better understand and assess our suppliers’ RCOI and due diligence efforts regarding Conflict Minerals.
Step 2: Identify and Assess Risk in the Supply Chain.
The second step in the OECD framework requires an assessment of conflict-related risks in the supply chain. To implement Step 2, we have taken the following actions:
•
Following the process designed in 2012, we compiled a list of our top 100 suppliers based on FY17-Q3 spend data. Each of these suppliers received a request for a current assessment using the CMRT to report the down-stream smelters and refiners for tin, tungsten, tantalum, and/or gold. Suppliers, were sent follow-up inquiries if survey answers were inconsistent or incomplete, or if the accompanying smelter list required review and clarification;
•
The supplier responses for smelter and mine data were de-duplicated to develop a single smelter list. We used our suppliers’ responses to identify smelters, refiners and country of origin data;

4


•
We followed the guidelines established by the Responsible Minerals Initiative (www.responsiblemineralsinitiative.org), and referenced the RMI master smelter database to confirm compliance status for each smelter reported from our supply chain. This database is queried periodically to update smelter status for follow-up reports and due diligence efforts; and,
•
We established a follow up investigation procedure to respond to customers’ or other interested parties’ inquiries regarding potential suspect suppliers. If we become aware of concerns about suspect mineral sourcing, we require the supplier purchasing from the suspect source to investigate and conduct traceability of materials, implement corrective actions if necessary, and provide assurance of a conflict-free supply chain.
Step 3: Design and Implement a Strategy to Respond to Identified Risks.
The third step in the OECD framework is the development of a strategy to mitigate and regularly monitor risks in the supply chain. To implement Step 3, we have taken the following actions:
•
We have developed procedures for sending supply-chain inquiries to our top 100 suppliers on an annual basis, reviewing their responses, consolidating the information in a central database, and conducting follow-up inquiries and/or action items to address any incomplete or inconsistent responses;
•
We continue to follow and consult the RBA guidelines, RMI, and other industry-sponsored programs, events, and best practices. In September 2014, Finisar became a member of RMI in order to leverage the research and data analysis available to member companies as part of our Conflict Free RCOI and due diligence efforts. Additionally we began participating in an informal working group comprised of several similarly situated Silicon Valley companies. The aim of this group is to share insights and best practices regarding RCOI, data management, and due diligence efforts around issues of supply chain transparency and ethical sourcing, including conflict minerals;
•
We report information on the sources and chain of custody of Conflict Minerals used in our products to our executive management and the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors;
•
We require our suppliers to conduct investigations of any smelters identified as high-risk and work with our suppliers to address compliance issues and to transition their processing to RMAP compliant smelters; and
•
We will take appropriate action, including the discontinuation of the supply relationships, when we determine that our suppliers are not adhering to the Company Policy.
Step 4: Carry Out Independent Third-Party Audit of Supply Chain Due Diligence.
The fourth step in the OECD framework is to obtain audits of due diligence practices employed by smelters and refiners supplying minerals from conflict-affected and high-risk areas. Because we do not source Conflict Minerals directly from smelters or other processing facilities, we rely on third parties, including the RMI, to coordinate and conduct third-party audits of these facilities. We rely upon the published results of these third-party audits to validate the responsible sourcing practices of the smelters and other processing facilities in our supply chain.
Step 5: Report on Supply Chain Due Diligence.
The fifth step in the OECD framework requires companies to publicly report on their supply chain due diligence policies and practices. To implement Step 5, have taken or intend to take the following actions:
•
We will file an annual report with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on Form SD, together with any required Conflict Minerals Report and report of independent private sector auditor;
•
We will make all such SEC reports available on our website;
•
We will provide our RMI Conflict Minerals Reporting template to customers and other qualified interested parties upon request.
Additionally, we may refer to our conflict minerals program, as appropriate, in other public statements reports filed with the SEC.

Country of Origin of Conflict Materials in the Covered Products
Based on the information provided by our direct suppliers, and otherwise obtained to date through the due diligence process described above, we have reason to believe that some of the Conflict Minerals necessary to the functionality or production of the Covered Products originated from the following Covered Countries: the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Burundi, and Rwanda. Although at this time we cannot give any firm assurance, based on the findings from our RCOI, Finisar is not aware of any of its products containing Conflict Minerals whose mining, smelting, or refining has benefited armed conflict and other human rights or environmental abuses in any of the Covered Countries.
Further Steps in Our Due Diligence Process
For 2018, the Company plans to take the following steps, among others, to improve its due diligence process and to further mitigate the risk that the Conflict Minerals necessary to the functionality or production of the Covered Products benefits armed conflict and other human rights or environmental abuses in any of the Covered Countries:
•
We will continue to engage with our direct suppliers and, in partnership with those suppliers, engage with their supply chain, smelters and processing facilities, to obtain current, accurate and complete information regarding our Conflict Mineral sources;
•
We will continue to encourage our direct suppliers to adhere to Finisar’s Ethical Souring and Conflict Minerals Policy, to refine their own due diligence program, and to encourage smelters in the supply chain to obtain a “conflict-free” designation from an independent, third-party audit program;
•
We will advise our suppliers that we intend to cease doing business with suppliers who continue to source Conflict Minerals from smelters that are not confirmed as “conflict-free” or actively engaged with RMAP, with a clear roadmap and timeline to become compliant;
•
For CY2018, we will continue our annual survey of all active suppliers surveyed in a prior year and the current year’s "Top 100" suppliers, based on the framework described in Step 2. This survey will leverage the recently updated CMRT version 5.01/5.10 and its updated smelter identification look-up tables. Additional due diligence inquiries will be based on a supplier’s answers to survey questions, and the smelters / countries named in their declaration; and,
•
Our on-going follow-up efforts will continue toward on improving the “percent compliant” position for each of the four minerals (see Table 4, on Pg. 4). Our CY2018 goals for each mineral are: Tantalum = 100%, Tin = 100%, Tungsten = 100%, and Gold = 97%, sourcing from compliant smelters.
