<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Synopsys, Inc. (referred to as &#147;Synopsys,&#148; &#147;we,&#148; and &#147;our&#148; in this report) has submitted this Conflict Minerals Report for the
year ended December&nbsp;31, 2019 in order to comply with Rule <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">13p-1</FONT> under the Securities Exchange Act, as amended. Rule <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">13p-1</FONT> was adopted by the Securities and Exchange
Commission (SEC) to implement conflict minerals disclosure requirements, as directed by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010. Rule <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">13p-1</FONT> imposes reporting obligations on SEC
registrants whose manufactured products contain conflict minerals that are necessary to the functionality or production of their products. Conflict minerals are currently defined as gold, cassiterite, columbite-tantalite (coltan), wolframite, and
their derivatives, which are limited to tin, tantalum, and tungsten (which, together with gold, are referred to as the 3TG metals). The definition includes these minerals regardless of their geographic origin or whether or not they fund armed
conflict. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In accordance with Rule <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">13p-1,</FONT> we conducted due diligence on the source and chain of custody of the
conflict minerals that were necessary to the functionality or production of the products we manufactured, or contracted to manufacture, in order to ascertain whether these conflict minerals originated in the Democratic Republic of the Congo or an
adjoining country (the Covered Countries) and financed or benefited armed groups in any of these countries. Our due diligence measures are described in this Conflict Minerals Report. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As a result of an order issued by the SEC on May&nbsp;2, 2014, registrants are not required to identify products as &#147;DRC conflict free,&#148; having
&#147;not been found to be &#145;DRC conflict free,&#146;&#148; or &#147;DRC conflict undeterminable,&#148; and Synopsys makes no such identification of its products in this report. Synopsys has not obtained an independent private sector audit of
its Conflict Minerals Report because, under guidance provided by the SEC&#146;s Division of Corporate Finance on April&nbsp;29, 2014, an audit is not required unless a registrant voluntarily describes its products as &#147;DRC conflict free.&#148;

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Synopsys, Inc. provides products and services used by designers across the entire silicon to software spectrum, from engineers creating advanced semiconductors
to software developers seeking to ensure the security and quality of their code. We are a global leader in supplying the electronic design automation software that engineers use to design and test integrated circuits, also known as chips. We also
offer semiconductor intellectual property (IP) products, which are <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">pre-designed</FONT> circuits that engineers use as components of larger chip designs rather than designing those circuits themselves. We provide
software and hardware used to validate the electronic systems that incorporate chips and the software that runs on them. To complement these offerings, we provide technical services and support to help our customers develop advanced chips and
electronic systems. We are also a leading provider of software tools and services that improve the security and quality of software code in a wide variety of industries, including electronics, financial services, media, automotive, medicine, energy
and industrials. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Although we are primarily a software, IP, and service provider, we also offer hardware systems that engineers can use to simulate the
chips they are in the process of designing. This allows engineers to test and verify the behavior of chips, or begin to develop software for them, before the chips have been manufactured. Hardware products make up a relatively small percentage of
our overall revenue. The customers for our hardware products are typically semiconductor and electronic systems companies, not consumers. Our hardware products are used as part of our customers&#146; internal design processes and are not integrated
into our customers&#146; products. Each of our hardware products is an electronic hardware board or system. We have determined that some or all of the 3TG metals can be found in all of our hardware products and are necessary to such hardware
products&#146; functionality. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Supply Chain </I></B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Our hardware products depend on a highly complex supply chain, and we are separated by many levels in the supply chain from the smelters and refiners that
supply the underlying raw materials for our products. We contacted (i)&nbsp;our direct suppliers for our hardware products and (ii)&nbsp;the manufacturers of the components embedded in our hardware products, even when such components were purchased
by our contract manufacturers and not directly by Synopsys (such direct suppliers and component manufacturers are referred to collectively as our &#147;suppliers&#148; in this report). Our contract manufacturers are not considered in scope for the
purposes of this report. We rely on our suppliers for information on the origin of the 3TG metals contained in the products supplied to us. It may take time for many suppliers to verify the origin of their 3TG metals because of the complexity of the
supply chain. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">For the 2019 reporting year, we sought to survey all of our suppliers regarding the sources of their 3TG metals. A significant number of our suppliers did not
provide us with sufficient data on the smelters and refiners in their supply chains. In addition, a significant number of the smelters and refiners that were identified by our suppliers have not yet successfully completed an assessment against the

chain transparency and encourage responsible sourcing of minerals, particularly the Responsible Business Alliance (RBA). For the 2019 reporting year, we used the RMI Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (CMRT) to survey our suppliers regarding the
origin of the 3TG metals contained in the products supplied to us. The RMI identifies upstream participants in the supply chain and validates smelters and refiners as conformant with RMAP standards. As part of our due diligence program for the 2019
reporting year, we checked smelters and refiners identified by our suppliers against the RMI&#146;s conformant smelter and refiner lists (Conformant Smelter and Refiner Lists). </P>

review our conflict minerals policy, receive training regarding compliance with our conflict minerals program, and obtain information on conflict minerals reporting requirements, the RMAP, and the CMRT. The vendor oversaw the surveying of our
suppliers, which included <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">e-mail</FONT> and phone contact escalations for unresponsive suppliers and requests for further information or clarification from suppliers that provided incomplete or inconsistent

Our third-party vendor further compared smelter and refiner names against the Conformant Smelter and Refiner Lists. Validation under the RMAP is voluntary, and the RMAP makes no conclusions about the conflict status of sourcing by a smelter or
refiner that is not on the Conformant Smelter and Refiner Lists. We also reviewed the countries of the identified smelters and refiners, as provided by our suppliers, to see if they are located in a high-risk area, such as in or adjacent to the

suppliers, and through <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">web-based</FONT> training offered by our third-party vendor. As described above, we reviewed our suppliers&#146; responses for red flags. Our review was heightened for High-Priority Suppliers.
We followed up with suppliers whose responses exceeded a specified number of red flags or whose responses otherwise indicated heightened risk, such as responses reporting the sourcing of 3TG metal from a Covered Country. Suppliers that exceeded red
