The origin of NetApp&#x2019;s Conflict Minerals cannot be determined with any certainty once the raw ores are smelted, refined and converted to ingots, bullion or other derivatives.  The smelters and refiners are consolidating points for raw ore and are in the best position in the total supply chain to know the origin of the ores.  In addition, the majority of CMRTs received from the in-scope suppliers were made on a company- or division-level basis, rather than on a product-level basis, and therefore NetApp cannot identify with certainty which smelters or refiners actually processed the Conflict Minerals contained in NetApp products.</font></p>

The remainder of the reported smelters and refiners have not, at this time, successfully completed an assessment against the applicable RMAP standard or a cross-recognized scheme.
