Exhibit 1.01
Conflict Minerals Report

Conflict Minerals Disclosure

I.
Introduction

EMCORE Corporation is providing this Conflict Minerals Report (“CMR”) for calendar year 2018, as an Exhibit to Form SD, pursuant to Rule 13p-1 and Form SD under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Rule”), as amended. The Rule requires disclosure of certain information when a company manufactures or contracts to manufacture a product and any “conflict mineral” specified in the Rule is necessary for the functionality or production of such product. Conflict Minerals are defined by paragraph (d)(3) of Form SD as columbite-tantalite (coltan), cassiterite, gold, wolframite, or their derivatives, which are limited to tantalum, tin, and tungsten, or any other mineral or its derivatives determined by the U.S. Secretary of State to be financing conflict in the Covered Countries (collectively, “Conflict Minerals” or “3TG”). The “Covered Countries” for purposes of the Rule and this CMR are the Democratic Republic of the Congo (“DRC”) and any country that shares an internationally recognized border with the DRC.

As used in this document, “EMCORE,” the “Company” and the words "we," "our," and "us" refer to EMCORE Corporation and its subsidiaries.

II.
Overview

Company Profile

    
EMCORE is a provider of advanced Mixed-Signal Optics products that enable communications systems and service providers to meet growing demand for increased bandwidth and connectivity. The Mixed-Signal Optics technology at the heart of our broadband communications products is shared with our fiber optic gyros and inertial sensors to provide the aerospace and defense markets with state-of-the-art navigations systems technology. EMCORE has fully vertically-integrated manufacturing capability through our Indium Phosphide (“InP”) compound semiconductor wafer fabrication facility at our headquarters in Alhambra, CA. The facility supports EMCORE’s vertically-integrated manufacturing for our laser, transmitter and receiver products for cable TV and other broadband applications, fiber optic gyro sensors for navigation systems, and chip devices for telecom and datacom applications.

As described in this CMR, certain of EMCORE’s operations manufacture, or contract to manufacture, products that contain 3TGs that are necessary to the functionality or production of those products. However, we do not directly source 3TGs from mines, smelters or refiners. We believe that, in most cases, we are several steps removed in the supply chain from these market participants, limiting our influence over their sourcing. We must therefore rely on our direct suppliers to provide information regarding the origin of necessary 3TGs that are included in our products, including sources of 3TGs that are supplied to them by sub-tier suppliers.






Conflict Minerals Policy

EMCORE is committed to responsible sourcing from its suppliers and each supplier is required to warrant that it has policies and procedures in place to determine whether parts and products supplied to EMCORE are DRC conflict free. Each of our suppliers must further warrant that it has established policies, due diligence frameworks, and management systems consistent with the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas and the related Supplements for gold, tin, tungsten, and tantalum (the “OECD Guidance”). Upon EMCORE’s request, each of our suppliers shall permit EMCORE to assess its practices and procedures and shall provide EMCORE with any information reasonably requested. In addition, each supplier agrees to provide information to EMCORE necessary for EMCORE to comply with its conflict minerals reporting requirements, including without limitation information under the Responsible Minerals Initiative’s (“RMI”) Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (“CMRT”). Our Conflict Minerals Policy is available on our corporate website at http://emcore.com/our-company/quality-management/supply-chain-management/

III.     Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry Information

EMCORE has conducted a good faith reasonable country of origin inquiry (“RCOI”) to determine whether the necessary 3TGs included in and necessary to the functionality of our products described under “Product Description” in Section V below originated in the Covered Countries or came from recycled or scrap sources. We engaged a leading 3TGs data management consultant (the “Consultant”) to assist us in conducting this RCOI. We utilized a SaaS platform provided by the Consultant to complete and track supplier communications, as well as allow suppliers to upload completed CMRTs for assessment and management. The use of the CMRT allowed for some elimination of irrelevant suppliers. We also periodically reviewed the supplier list to ensure that irrelevant or “out of scope” suppliers were removed from the survey process. Our program continues to include automated data validation on all submitted CMRTs. The goal of data validation is to increase the accuracy of submissions and identify any contradictory answers in the CMRT.

All submitted forms are accepted and classified as valid or invalid so that data is still retained. Suppliers are contacted in regard to invalid forms and are encouraged to submit a valid form. Suppliers are also provided with guidance on how to correct these validation errors.

The Consultant compared the list of smelters and refiners provided in our suppliers’ responses to the lists of smelters maintained by the RMI and, if a supplier indicated that a facility was certified as conflict-free, confirmed that the facility was listed on RMI’s list of validated conflict free smelters and refiners of 3TGs.

To the extent applicable, EMCORE’s RCOI utilized the same processes and procedures as for our due diligence described in Section IV below. This RCOI process included conducting an inquiry of our direct suppliers using a mechanism common in the technology industry: the CMRT version 5.11. Based on the results of our RCOI, we are required to exercise due diligence on the source and chain of custody of the necessary 3TGs contained in our products. Our due diligence efforts are discussed further in Section IV of this CMR.


IV.    Due Diligence Process and Measures Performed

Based on the results of our RCOI, the Consultant engaged by EMCORE also assisted us in conducting due diligence on the source and chain of custody of 3TGs in our products. The Company’s due diligence measures are designed to attempt to ascertain the facilities used to process any 3TGs in our products, the country of origin of any 3TGs in our products and the mine(s) or location of origin with the greatest possible specificity.

The design of our due diligence system, its conformity with an internationally-recognized due diligence framework, and a description of the measures we have undertaken to exercise our due diligence, are detailed below.






EMCORE’s due diligence measures have been designed to conform in all material respects to the internationally-recognized due diligence framework of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (“OECD”) Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chain of Minerals from Conflict- Affected and High-Risk Areas (Third Edition), and its related supplements. This OECD framework (“Framework”) is the only due diligence framework recognized by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) to date. The Framework stresses five main areas of Due Diligence design, detailed below in IV(a) - (e).

a.      Establish Strong Company Management Systems

First, EMCORE has assigned a Senior Director of Operations to (i) manage the 3TGs compliance program, (ii) liaise with the Consultant, (iii) conduct reviews of collected data, and (iv) make decisions regarding the due diligence program, including risk mitigation. Second, EMCORE has requested that suppliers of goods incorporated into our products provide us with CMRTs for their products (see below, §§ IV(i)(b & c)). Third, EMCORE’s position statement with respect to 3TGs, which is located on our website (at http://www.emcore.com/wp-content/uploads/EMCORE-Conflict-Minerals-Policy-Statement.pdf), encourages our suppliers to source responsibly, through their sub-suppliers and on down through their own supply chains. In this position statement, we encourage our suppliers and their sub-suppliers to use smelters or refiners (“smelters” or “SORs”) that are conformant to assessment protocols for conflict-free sourcing wherever possible. Using its Responsible Minerals Assurance Process (“RMAP”) audit program, the RMI, an organization founded by members of the Electronic Industry Citizen Coalition (“EICC”) and the Global e-Sustainability Initiative (“GeSI”), is taking action to address responsible sourcing, using independent third-party audits to identify smelters and refiners that have systems in place to assure sourcing of only conflict-free materials.)

Grievance Mechanisms

We established multiple longstanding grievance mechanisms whereby employees and suppliers can report violations of Emcore’s policies, including with respect to conflict minerals. Suppliers and others outside of Emcore may contact our conflict minerals team to communicate with us, including to report grievances. In addition, our employees may anonymously report suspected violations using our anonymous ethics hotline.

Maintain Records

The Company has adopted a policy to retain relevant conflict minerals related documentation for a period of 5 years, including supplier responses to CMRTs and implemented this policy through the Consultant.  The Consultant stores all of the information and findings from this process in a database that can be audited by internal or external parties.

b.      Identify and Assess Risk in the Supply Chain

To obtain chain of custody declarations from our suppliers, we utilize the CMRT described above. This CMRT is distributed to all of our suppliers, with regular and persistent follow-ups (“Escalations”), to ensure maximum compliance and feedback. The CMRT includes questions on (i) the use and origin of 3TGs in our components, (ii) supplier engagement with their sub-tier suppliers, and (iii) smelters and points of origin of the constituent 3TGs. The Consultant provides suppliers with guidance and requirements to prepare them ahead of time for full compliance in completing the CMRT, our principal information-gathering step on the origin, source and chain of custody of 3TGs contained in components and materials supplied to us. This kit includes materials to educate suppliers about the SEC rule on 3TGs, responsible supply chain management, and a letter that suppliers can use if they need to request information from their sub-tier suppliers.

The CMRT responses are only a first step in our engagement with suppliers. The responses from suppliers are then individually validated and examined both for completeness and any internal inconsistencies between the data they provide. Any of these issues are resolved with our suppliers by phone and email. This follow-up to incomplete or inaccurate information is described further in §IV(i)(c), below.






To the extent that a completed response identified a smelter or refiner, the Company reviewed this information against the list of smelters provided by the RMI that are either conformant to audit protocols or active in the audit itself. The Company also attempted to ascertain whether the smelter or refiner information provided was specific to the products supplied to the Company to determine whether the identified smelters are in the Company’s supply chain.

Each facility that meets the RMI definition of a smelter or refiner of a 3TGs mineral is assessed according to red flag indicators defined in the OECD Guidance. The Consultant uses numerous factors to determine the level of risk that each smelter poses to the supply chain by identifying red flags. These factors include:

Geographic proximity to the DRC and covered countries;
Known mineral source country of origin;
Responsible Minerals Assurance Process (RMAP) audit status;
Credible evidence of unethical or conflict sourcing;
Peer Assessments conducted by credible third-party sources.

As part of our risk management plan under the OECD Guidance, when facilities with red flags were reported on a CMRT by one of the suppliers surveyed, risk mitigation activities are initiated. Through the Consultant’s software, submissions that include any red flag facilities immediately produce a receipt instructing the supplier to take their own risk mitigation actions, including submission of a product specific CMRT to better identify the connection to products that they supply to Emcore, and escalating up to removal of these red flag smelters from their supply chain.

c.      Design and implement a Strategy to Respond to Identified Risks

As outlined above, we have developed processes for Escalations and supplier engagement. This allows us to direct needed questions and follow-up to suppliers based on their varying responses to the CMRT. Escalations are used when, among other issues, suppliers are late in responding, have incomplete information, provide feedback inconsistent with prior responses, or when other issues are identified. An Escalation may include individual written requests for information, conference calls and meetings. Each Escalation is dated and tagged in our data management system, for a variety of further actions. These actions might include direct supplier contact through our business channels, changes of scope of the diligence request, reformatting supplier responses into the correct format, time extensions for delayed responses, follow-up with alternative contacts in the supplying organization, or the dropping of outdated component parts from the EMCORE products list. The readiness of suppliers to provide data is assessed and scaled in our diligence logs, and these scores may factor into decisions made by EMCORE when awarding future supply contracts.

d.      Carry Out Independent Third Party Audit of Supply Chain Due Diligence at Identified Points in the Supply Chain

Because the Company does not source 3TG directly from smelters or refiners, we rely on third parties, including the RMI, to coordinate and conduct third party audits of these facilities. The Company utilizes the published results of these third-party audits to determine whether a specified smelter or refiner processes 3TG that directly or indirectly finance or benefit armed groups.

e.      Report on Supply Chain Due Diligence

Our Form SD and this CMR are both available under “Supply Chain Management” in the Company section of our website at http://www.emcore.com/company/supply-chain-management/. EMCORE will file a Form SD (and CMRs, as necessary) with the SEC on an annual basis, pursuant to Rule 13p-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

Processing Facilities - Based on our RCOI or due diligence process, as applicable, and the information received from our suppliers, the facilities listed on Annex A were identified by the Company’s suppliers as the smelters and refiners that processed the 3TG present in and necessary to the functionality of products manufactured by the Company in the calendar year 2018.

Due to our position in the supply chain, which we discuss above, we rely on our suppliers for accurate smelter and refiner information. Our due diligence measures cannot provide adequate certainty regarding the source and chain of custody of the necessary 3TGs contained in our in-scope products. The information from our suppliers is still evolving and may contain company level declarations. As such, this smelter list is presented in good faith as the best information we have to date. This list may contain smelters that are not in our supply chain and there may be other smelters not yet identified in our due diligence process. We will continue to update the list as our information and the relevant third-party data from RMI, LBMA, and RJC improves.


VI.    Future Due Diligence

We will continue to communicate our expectations and information requirements to our direct suppliers. Over time, we anticipate that the amount of information globally on the traceability and sourcing of the necessary 3TGs in our products will increase and improve our knowledge. We will continue to make inquiries to our direct suppliers and undertake additional risk assessments when potentially relevant changes in facts or circumstances are identified. If we become aware of a supplier whose due diligence needs improvement, we may continue the trade relationship while that supplier improves its compliance program. We expect our suppliers to take similar measures with their suppliers to ensure alignment throughout the supply chain.

In addition to those above, the Company will undertake the following steps during the next compliance period:

Continue to collect responses from suppliers using the most recent revision of the CMRT.
Engage with suppliers that did not provide a response in 2018 or provided incomplete responses to
help with our data collections for 2019.
Monitor and track performance of risk mitigation efforts.
Compare and validate RCOI results to information collected via independent conflict-free smelter validation programs such as the RMI.

The information in this column is based on smelter or refiner information made publicly available by RMI as of May 3, 2019. The terms used have the following meanings:
Conformant means that a smelter or refiner participates in and has been listed as “Conformant” to the assessment protocols of the Responsible Minerals Assurance Process (“RMAP”).
Non Conformant means that a smelter’s or refiner’s systems, processes and practices materially deviate from the requirements of the applicable RMAP audit standard, or the auditee refuses to participate in the assessment process or does not provide adequate access to facilities to complete the assessment.
Active means that the facility is in one of the stages of the audit cycle, anywhere from completion of the necessary documents to scheduling the audit date to enacting corrective actions in the post-audit phase.
Not Enrolled refers to smelters that are not currently participating in the RMAP. Included in this category are facilities that the RMI is currently reaching out to, those that are communicating with the RMI regarding participation in an audit, those that have refused to participate, and those that have not completed the mandatory annual re-audit and those that failed to meet the assessment protocols to pass an audit.
