CONFLICT MINERALS REPORT
FOR THE REPORTING PERIOD FROM
JANUARY 1, 2014 TO DECEMBER 31, 2014
ARRIS GROUP, INC. - CONFLICT MINERALS REPORT 2014
INTRODUCTION
This Conflict Minerals Report for ARRIS Group, Inc. including all of its subsidiaries (“ARRIS,” “we,” or “our”) is provided in
accordance with Rule 13p-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Rule 13p-1”) for the reporting period from January 1, 2014 to December 31, 2014.
ARRIS is a provider of products and services to cable operators and wireline telecommunications (“telco”) service providers (collectively,
“network operators”) that enable the delivery of video, voice and data services to consumers. The product portfolio primarily includes interactive settop boxes, end-to-end digital video and Internet Protocol Television (“IPTV”)
distribution systems, broadband access infrastructure platforms, and associated data and voice CPE (consumer premises equipment).
For the reporting
period from January 1, 2014 to December 31, 2014, ARRIS conducted a reasonable country of origin inquiry and due diligence on the source and chain of custody of the conflict minerals that are necessary to the functionality or production of
the products (“necessary conflict minerals”) that we manufactured or contracted to manufacture, after January 1, 2014, for which the results of our reasonable country of origin inquiry and due diligence conducted on these conflict
minerals are presented herein.
REASONABLE COUNTRY OF ORIGIN INQUIRY
We conducted a reasonable country of origin inquiry (RCOI) of relevant 3TG Direct Suppliers using the CFSI Conflict Minerals Reporting Template
(“CMRT”), which included questions about the location or mine of origin, and encouraged those suppliers to make similar efforts to survey their supply chain using the CMRT and report the facilities and location or mine of origin for
necessary conflict minerals.
DUE DILIGENCE MEASURES
We conducted due diligence on the source and chain of custody of our conflict minerals to ascertain whether these conflict minerals originated in the
Democratic Republic of the Congo or any of its adjoining countries and financed or benefited non-state armed groups in any of these countries.
DESIGN OF OUR DUE DILIGENCE MEASURES
Our conflict
minerals due diligence measures have been designed to conform 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
(the “OECD Guidance”), as applicable for tin, tantalum, tungsten, gold and downstream companies (as the term is defined in the OECD Guidance), in all material respects. We designed our due diligence measures to:
| |
1) |
establish strong Company management systems for conflict minerals supply chain due diligence; |
| |
2) |
identify and assess conflict minerals risks in our supply chain; |
| |
3) |
design and implement strategies to respond to conflict minerals risks identified; |
| |
4) |
contribute to independent third-party audits of the due diligence practices of conflict minerals smelters and refiners by participating in industry organizations; and |
| |
5) |
report on our conflict minerals supply chain due diligence activities. |
1
ARRIS GROUP, INC. - CONFLICT MINERALS REPORT 2014
DUE DILIGENCE MEASURES PERFORMED
Our due diligence measures included the following activities:
| |
1) |
Established an internal team to implement the ARRIS Conflict Minerals Program; |
| |
2) |
established company policies and requirements and incorporated those requirements into supplier contracts to define ARRIS’s expectations of suppliers regarding sourcing of conflict minerals and reporting of
information to ARRIS; |
| |
3) |
conducted a review to identify relevant direct suppliers of products containing necessary conflict minerals (in the form of gold and the derivatives tin, tantalum, and tungsten, or collectively, “3TG” and
“3TG Direct Suppliers”); |
| |
4) |
reviewed all supplier responses against internally established criteria for completeness, consistency and risk; |
| |
5) |
requested the specific processing facility names (smelters) from all suppliers indicating sources in the covered countries; and |
| |
6) |
compared the facilities identified by suppliers indicating sourcing from the covered countries against the list of facilities that have received a “conflict-free” designation for tantalum, tin, tungsten and
gold published by the Conflict Free Sourcing Initiative (“CFSI”) - the Conflict-Free Smelter List (“CFS List”). |
DUE DILIGENCE RESULTS
We had a response rate of
98% to our supplier RCOI and due diligence performed for facilities (smelters) indicated by suppliers as having sources in the covered countries are as follows:
Based on the CFSI RCOI Data (dated 3-31-15) 17 smelters and refiners were identified as sourcing from the covered countries. All were listed on the CFSI
Conflict Free Smelter list
Two suppliers indicated a tin smelter as sourcing from the covered countries. Upon investigation it was determined that this
smelter ceased operations in December 2014. At the time of closing the smelter was active in the Conflict Free Smelter Program but had not completed the certification process. No additional information could be found confirming covered country
sourcing for this smelter.
All remaining smelters identified by suppliers as sourcing from the covered countries were listed on the CFSI Conflict Free
Smelter list.
PRODUCT DESCRIPTIONS
ARRIS’ product portfolio primarily includes settop boxes, end-to-end digital video and Internet Protocol Television (“IPTV”) distribution
systems, broadband access infrastructure platforms, and associated data and voice CPE. Detailed descriptions and technical information can be found on our website (www.arrisi.com).

EFFORTS TO
DETERMINE THE CONFLICT MINERALS’ MINE OR LOCATION OF ORIGIN
Through our participation in the CFSI and requiring our suppliers to complete the
CMRT we have determined that seeking information about conflict mineral smelters and refiners in our supply chain represents the most reasonable effort we can make to determine the mines or locations of origin of the conflict minerals in our supply
chain.
STEPS TO BE TAKEN TO MITIGATE RISK
In
2014 we implemented a smelter identification and acceptance review applied during processing of supplier CMRTs. This allowed us to provide feedback to suppliers identifying smelter entries that could not be recognized when referenced to the CFSI
standard smelter names or other known smelters/refiners and requesting that they work to resolve these unknown smelters for future submissions. We also revised our contract manufacturer requirements in order to set standard reporting goals and
improve the quality and uniformity of data received.

ARRIS GROUP, INC. - CONFLICT MINERALS REPORT 2014
In 2015 we intend to take the following step to improve the due diligence conducted to further mitigate any
risk that the necessary conflict minerals in our products could benefit armed groups in the DRC or adjoining countries:
| |
• |
|
Urge suppliers to provide smelters than can be recognized or traced to facilities known as actual smelter or refiners to the CFSI or other industry reference source. |
| |
• |
|
Continue participation in CFSI (Member ID ARRS) to drive the improvement of industry tools, resources and traceability programs. |
