&#147;Report&#148;) of Rambus Inc. (&#147;we,&#148; &#147;our,&#148; &#147;us,&#148; &#147;Rambus&#148; or the &#147;Company&#148;) for the reporting period January 1, 2024 to December 31, 2024 (the &#147;Reporting Period&#148;) has been prepared in
accordance with the requirements of Rule 13p-1 (the &#147;Rule&#148;) and Form SD promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The
Rule requires disclosure of certain information when a company manufactures or contracts to manufacture products where the minerals specified in the Rule are necessary to the functionality or production of those products. The specified minerals are
referred to as &#147;Conflict Minerals,&#148; which include gold, columbite-tantalite (coltan), cassiterite, wolframite and their derivatives, which are limited to tantalum, tin and tungsten. The &#147;Covered Countries&#148; for purposes of the
Rule and this Report are the Democratic Republic of Congo (the &#147;DRC&#148;), or any adjoining country, including the Republic of Congo, the Central African Republic, South Sudan, Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, Tanzania, Zambia and Angola. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">This Report and Form SD can be found on our website at www.rambus.com. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Company Overview </B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Rambus is a provider of
industry-leading chips and silicon IP making data faster and safer. With 35 years of advanced semiconductor experience, we are a pioneer in high-performance memory subsystems that solve the bottleneck between memory and processing for data-intensive
systems. Whether in the cloud, at the edge or in your hand, real-time and immersive applications depend on data throughput and integrity. Rambus products and innovations deliver the increased bandwidth, capacity and security required to meet the
world&#146;s data needs and drive ever-greater <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">end-user</FONT> experiences. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">During the Reporting Period we continued to
ship our physical semiconductor products, including DDR4 and DDR5 memory interface chipsets for memory modules utilized in cloud data center and enterprise servers, and client computing systems. For such products we operate a fabless business model
and use third-party foundries, assembly and test manufacturing contractors to manufacture, assemble, test and provide our semiconductor products. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Description of the Company&#146;s Conflict Minerals Policy </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Our goal is to eliminate the use of Conflict Minerals. We are aware that our physical semiconductor products contain tin, tantalum, tungsten and gold
(&#147;3TG&#148;) metals that are necessary to the functionality or production of those products. To this end, we work with our applicable suppliers to identify the sources of all 3TG metals used in our physical semiconductor products. If any of
these metals originate from the Covered Countries, then further investigation is required. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We use the tools provided by the Responsible Minerals
Initiative (&#147;RMI&#148;) to gather information from our suppliers. The information requested includes the name and location of smelters or refiners used to produce the metals, and the origin of the minerals. Our due diligence process and efforts
are consistent with the Organization for Economic <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">Co-operation</FONT> and Development (&#147;OECD&#148;) Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas
(&#147;OECD Guidance&#148;). </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Our Conflict Minerals Policy can be found on our website at www.rambus.com. </P>

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Description of the Company&#146;s Supply Chain </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Because we operate a fabless business model, we do not directly purchase 3TG from mines, smelters, or refiners. Therefore, we must rely on our suppliers to
provide information regarding the country of origin of Conflict Minerals that are included in the Covered Products (as defined below). Many of our suppliers do not purchase raw materials directly and must rely on their downstream suppliers and <FONT
STYLE="white-space:nowrap">sub-suppliers</FONT> to determine the origin of their raw materials. Thus, reliably determining the origin is a difficult task, and our suppliers are highly dependent on the information provided to them by their suppliers
and <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">sub-suppliers</FONT> which are often far removed from the direct smelter or refiner. Additionally, many of our suppliers are not directly subject to the same conflict minerals law and regulations as we are. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Identification of Conflict Minerals and of the Company&#146;s Products Covered by this Report </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We sent a questionnaire to our operating business units inquiring whether during the Reporting Period any of our units manufactured or contracted to
manufacture any products containing Conflict Minerals necessary to such products&#146; functionality or production. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Based on these inquiries, we
determined that our chipsets were the only products that met this test (&#147;Covered Products&#148;). We found that Conflict Minerals were not necessary to the functionality or production of any product that we manufactured or contracted to
manufacture other than the Covered Products that we contracted to manufacture during the Reporting Period. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">From this information, we developed a list of
direct suppliers within our applicable supply chain to be surveyed and who provided 3TG materials for our products. Engineering and evaluation materials were not included in our analysis. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Description of the Company&#146;s Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We conducted in good faith a reasonable country of origin inquiry (&#147;RCOI&#148;) with respect to the Covered Products that were manufactured or contracted
to be manufactured by us during the Reporting Period. The RCOI is reasonably designed to determine if any of the Conflict Minerals in the Covered Products originated in the Covered Countries and whether any of the Conflict Minerals may be from
recycled or scrap sources. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Once we identified our list of suppliers, we began the process of surveying the supply chain using the RMI&#146;s Conflict
Minerals Reporting Template (&#147;CMRT&#148;). The CMRT is used predominantly throughout the electronics industry and requests relevant information, including details of the smelters and refiners where the materials were processed and the location
of mines where the minerals originated. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We informed each identified supplier of our desire to use only materials verified to be conflict-free and asked
them to return a completed CMRT. Responses were reviewed for completeness, reasonableness, and consistency, and we followed up with our suppliers for corrections and clarifications as needed. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Based on the responses from the suppliers, we were not able to conclusively determine the complete geographic origin of all 3TG materials used in our Covered
Products. Therefore, we proceeded to perform the due diligence process outlined below. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Description of the Company&#146;s Due Diligence Process
</B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Based on the information provided to us by our suppliers, we undertook additional due diligence processes and efforts based on the OECD Guidance in
order to determine if any Conflict Materials included in our Covered Products may have originated in the Covered Countries and if so, whether they benefited armed groups in those countries. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In accordance with the OECD Guidance, the design of our due diligence includes the five steps described below. </P>

Guidelines. The RMI also publishes names of smelters/refiners that are actively in the process of becoming certified conflict-free, but have not completed the process to date. We use these published lists to determine if the smelters and refiners
supplying 3TG materials for our Covered Products are conflict-free. If the sources of all 3TG materials for a product have been identified as conflict-free, then we likewise consider such product as conflict-free. </P>

utilized five suppliers with respect to our physical semiconductor products and required all of these suppliers to perform and report on their supply chain due diligence through the use of the CMRT. We received a 100% response rate to our requests.
Responses from our suppliers using the CMRT have been reviewed, combined and summarized. Responding parties provided a CMRT which includes a declaration page and a list of smelter and refinery names. Based on the information provided to us by our
suppliers, we believe that, to the extent reasonably determinable, the facilities that were used to process the Conflict Minerals contained in the Covered Products included the smelters and refiners listed in Annex I below. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">All responding suppliers provided complete lists of smelters representing 100% of the 3TG materials they utilized. All of suppliers declared that a portion of
the 3TG metals came from the Covered Countries. However, these suppliers also indicated that such materials came from a smelter or refiner that has been audited and is listed as conflict-free and conformant by the RMI. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We combined the responses from all suppliers and prepared a list of unique smelter or refiner names. We then used the RMI conformance lists to determine if
the Conflict Minerals originate from the Covered Countries and could be benefitting armed groups. All of the smelters/refiners on our list have been verified as conformant by the RMAP. Therefore, based on our due diligence efforts, we conclude the
Conflict Minerals contained in our Covered Products come from suppliers using smelters or refiners listed as conformant by RMI. However, we rely on our direct suppliers to provide us with the necessary information about the source of Conflict
Minerals contained in the Covered Products that we contract with them to manufacture for us and our suppliers are similarly reliant upon information provided by their suppliers. Thus, there is a risk that the final information provided to us and

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We have communicated our expectations to our contract manufacturers regarding our commitment to sourcing minerals for our products in a manner that does not
finance or benefit armed groups in the Covered Countries. We plan to continue our inquiry method and utilize the CMRT to collect and report on due diligence activities with our supply base. We continue to work with our suppliers to improve the
quality and completeness of information collected by using the most updated CMRT form. We will continue to review our supplier responses, provide feedback as necessary, encourage our suppliers to remain committed to
<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">conflict-free</FONT> sources and engage with our relevant suppliers in order to build their knowledge and capacity so they are able to provide us with complete and accurate information on the source and chain of
custody of Conflict Minerals in our supply chain. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Conclusion </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Based on our due diligence efforts and subject to the limitations of such efforts as detailed above, we conclude the Conflict Minerals contained in our Covered
Products come from suppliers using smelters or refiners listed as conformant by RMI. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Additional Risk Factors </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The statements above are based on the RCOI process and due diligence performed in good faith by us. These statements are based on the infrastructure and
information available at the time. A number of factors could introduce errors or otherwise affect our Conflict Minerals status. These factors include, but are not limited to, gaps in supplier data, gaps in smelter data, errors or omissions by
suppliers, errors or omissions by smelters, smelter classifications, all instances of Conflict Minerals necessary to the functionality or manufacturing of our products possibly not yet having been identified, gaps in supplier education and
knowledge, timeliness of data, public information not discovered during a reasonable search, errors in public data, language barriers and translation, supplier and smelter unfamiliarity with the protocol, oversights or errors in conflict free
smelter audits, Covered Countries sourced materials being declared secondary materials, companies going out of business, certification programs being not equally advanced for all industry segments and metals, and smuggling of Conflict Minerals from
the Covered Countries to countries beyond the Covered Countries. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Forward-looking Statements </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">This Conflict Minerals Report contains forward-looking statements. These statements include statements regarding steps we intend to examine to further mitigate
risk. We also use words such as &#147;believe,&#148; &#147;expect,&#148; &#147;future,&#148; &#147;intend&#148; and similar expressions to identify forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements involve risk and uncertainty. When
considering these statements, you should also consider the important factors described in this Conflict Minerals Report under the heading &#147;Additional Risk Factors&#148; and in the reports and documents we file from time to time with the SEC,
including the factors described under the sections titled &#147;Risk Factors&#148; in our most recently submitted Annual and Quarterly Reports on Forms <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">10-K</FONT> and 10-Q, respectively. Except as required by law,
we disclaim any obligation to update information contained in these <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">forward-looking</FONT> statements whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise. </P>
