Section 1 – Conflict Minerals Disclosure

Item 1.01 Conflict Minerals Disclosure and Report

Introduction

Kyocera Corporation and its subsidiaries* (Kyocera) manufactures and sells components and applied ceramic products using fine ceramic technologies as well as telecommunications equipment, information equipment and other products that cover an extremely diverse range. Kyocera conducted a Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry (RCOI) as detailed below to determine whether or not any conflict minerals from the Democratic Republic of the Congo and its adjoining countries (DRC Countries) are being used in the products it manufactures in accordance with Rule 13P-1 under the Securities Exchange Act.

Description of Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry (RCOI)

In conducting the RCOI, Kyocera used the Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (the Template), the industry standard provided by the Conflict-Free Sourcing Initiative (CFSI), which was founded by the Electronics Industry Citizenship Coalition (EICC) and the Global e-Sustainability Initiative (GeSI). All suppliers were subject to the survey except those that are clearly not related to tin, tantalum, tungsten and gold (3TG) and those that solely provide services. As a result of continued and proactive efforts encouraging suppliers to complete the survey, 97.7% of the Templates were collected in the 2016 survey.

Results of RCOI

Kyocera identified suppliers found to be using minerals from DRC Countries as a result of the RCOI, as “critical suppliers” and conducted due diligence. Details are included in Exhibit 1.01 “Kyocera Corporation’s Calendar Year 2016 Conflict Minerals Report.”
