Quantum Corporation

Conflict Minerals Report

Introduction

This is the conflict minerals report for Quantum Corporation (“Quantum”, “we” or “us”) for the calendar year 2015 in accordance with Rule 13p-1 under the Securities Exchange Act (“Rule 13p-1”).

Quantum is a leading expert in scale-out storage, archive and data protection, providing solutions for capturing, sharing, transforming and preserving digital assets over the entire data lifecycle. Our customers, ranging from small businesses to major enterprises, have trusted us to address their most demanding content workflow challenges. We provide solutions for storing and protecting information in physical, virtual and cloud environments that are designed to help customers Be Certain™ they have an end-to-end storage foundation to maximize the value of their data by making it accessible whenever and wherever needed, offering indefinite retention and reducing total cost and complexity. Quantum’s primary hardware products include Scalar® automated tape libraries and DXi® deduplication disk system. A more complete description of our products is included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Quantum hardware products require components that contain tin, tungsten, tantalum and/or gold (“3TG”) minerals. Accordingly, pursuant to Rule 13p-1, we conducted a reasonable country of origin inquiry (“RCOI”). Based on our RCOI (described in the Form SD), Quantum determined that 3TG minerals present in certain of its products may have originated in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and adjoining countries (the “Covered Countries”) and were not from scrap or recycled sources. Therefore, in accordance with Rule 13p-1, Quantum proceeded to engage in due diligence to determine the sources and chain of custody of its 3TG minerals as further described in this report.

Company Management Systems

Policy for Conflict Minerals

We have established and committed to a company statement that explains the importance of the conflict minerals issue and our responsibility for addressing conflict minerals in our supply chain. A copy of our Conflict Minerals Policy is contained in our Environmental Responsibility Report and can be viewed on our company’s website at http://www.quantum.com, where the document may be found under “Legal” on the home page, selecting “Ethics & Compliance” and then clicking on our Environmental Report under “Environmental Responsibility.” In addition, Quantum requires compliance contractually in our Purchase Order Terms and Conditions.

Internal Management

Our internal Conflict Minerals team is led by the Environmental Responsibility Manager who implements our Conflict Minerals Sourcing Policy. Quantum’s Product Management team provides approved supplier lists and contact information. Regular reviews of these efforts are communicated to senior management.

Control systems

As we do not have a direct relationship with 3TG smelters and refiners, we are engaged and actively cooperate with other major manufacturers in our industry, and take advantage of third party industry resources including the Electronics Industry Citizenship Coalition-Global e-Sustainability Initiative’s (EICC-GeSI) Conflict Free Sourcing Initiative (CFSI) efforts. Quantum is an active member of the CFSI. Our CFSI membership number is 2391.

The Company’s controls with regard to conflict minerals include, but are not limited to, our Code of Conduct (The High Road) which outlines expected behaviors for all Quantum employees, our Supplier Code of Conduct which sets forth our expectations for our suppliers, including that they comply with the Electronics Industry Code of Conduct, our Conflict Minerals Policy and our internal Environmental Requirements Specification which is made available to all our suppliers. These documents detail supplier requirements with respect to, among other things, compliance with our expectations regarding conflict minerals.

Grievance Mechanism

We have multiple longstanding grievance mechanisms whereby employees and suppliers can report violations of Quantum’s policies, including reports to our ethics committee and our third party hotline. Information about these mechanisms is available in our Code of Conduct which is posted on the investor relations section of our website.

Maintain records

We have adopted a policy to retain documentation relevant to our conflict minerals due diligence and reporting.

Identification and Assessment of Risks in Our Supply Chain

We participate in the following industry-wide initiatives to evaluate and disclose upstream actors in the supply chain: EICC-GeSI and the CFSI. As part of our risk assessment plan and to ensure suppliers understand our expectations, we provide feedback to several of our suppliers regarding reporting that we believe is incomplete or inaccurate.

Quantum requests our suppliers to complete the EICC GeSI conflict minerals reporting template (“CMRT”). We have determined that this process represents the most reasonable effort to determine the mines or locations of origin of the 3TG in our supply chain.

Risk is assessed by reviewing information contained in the declaration tab of each supplier’s CMRT and by comparing the data contained in each supplier’s Smelter List against the CFSI Smelter and Refiner list. Quantum utilizes Green Status Pro, a third party resource for data analysis and subsequent Aggregated Declaration and Consolidated Smelter reports. These summary reports help identify risks that need to be addressed.

Due Diligence

We designed our due diligence framework to conform with the internationally recognized due diligence framework provided by 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 related Supplements on Tin, Tantalum and Tungsten and on Gold (collectively, “OECD Guidance”), specifically as it relates to our position in the minerals supply chain as a “downstream” purchaser. Below we describe our due diligence processes with respect to Steps 3 and 4 of the OECD Guidance. OECD steps 1, 2 and 5, which are not specifically related to our due diligence, are described in the Form SD and elsewhere in this report.

Design and Implement a Strategy to Respond to Identified Risks

Quantum has an enterprise risk management plan through which the conflict minerals program is implemented, managed and monitored. Updates regarding the risk assessment with respect to conflict minerals and their usage in the supply chain are provided regularly to senior management.

Quantum suppliers provided the EICC GeSI CMRT with varying results. Green Status Pro, a third party evaluation service was used to identify and evaluate smelter data against the data provided by the Conflict-Free Smelter Program. Many data inconsistencies were identified during this process, and verification efforts with the relevant suppliers are ongoing to resolve the data inconsistencies. We also continue to follow up with suppliers that have not yet responded to our requests for 3TG information. We are advising suppliers that failure to adequately respond to our request for 3TG information may result in loss of approved vendor status. If a supplier is not on our approved vendor list, we will not obtain or accept parts from that supplier. However, to date, we have not terminated any suppliers.

We engage with any of our suppliers whom (based on part type and material) we have reason to believe are supplying us with 3TG. Suppliers providing CMRT information that (based on CFSI data) may support conflict in the Covered Countries, are encouraged to establish an alternative source of 3TG that does not support such conflict, as provided in the OECD guidance. The following paragraph is included in Quantum’s Purchase Order Terms and Conditions: “Sellers who manufacture components, parts, or products containing tin, tantalum, tungsten, and/or gold shall define, implement and communicate to sub-suppliers their own Conflict Mineral Policy, outlining their commitment to responsible sourcing and measures for implementation. Sellers shall work with sub-suppliers to ensure traceability of these metals to their country of origin (RCOI). Traceability shall be maintained and recorded for 10 years and provided to Quantum at least once a year, or more frequently if requested by Quantum. Sellers shall ensure that purchased metals originate from smelters validated by Sellers as being conflict mineral free.”  

Many of our suppliers were unable to represent to us that 3TG from the entities they listed had actually been included in components they supplied to Quantum. In addition, many processing facilities were not validated as in fact being smelters or refiners. We have therefore elected to present only the smelter and refiner names identified by the CFSI in this report. (Table 1). Of those smelters that have been identified, 78% have been found to be CFSI compliant, or Active. Quantum will continue to encourage suppliers to utilize only compliant smelters.

Participate and support third party audit programs

We do not have a direct relationship with 3TG smelters and refiners and do not perform or direct audits of the due diligence practices of these entities within our supply chain. However, we support audits through our participation in various industry initiatives. Quantum is a member (#2391) of the CFSI and compares supplier smelter data with CFSI smelter lists. Quantum considers smelters and refiners identified by the CFSI as Compliant to be Conflict-Free.

Summary

Quantum still has smelters in its supply chain that have not been identified by the CFSI as audited or in the audit process. We continue to work with our suppliers to only have smelters that are actively progressing toward Conflict Free Smelter Program (CFSP) listing. Following our due diligence process this year, we are unable to reach any definitive conclusions regarding our products. However, we expect that our due diligence efforts will continue to improve and yield more complete information, particularly as more smelters and refiners participate in third party audit process.

Future Measures

During calendar 2016, we have engaged a third party data collection company to collect current data from all our suppliers and we intend to continue to enhance our supplier communication and training information to improve data accuracy and ongoing supplier updates of sourcing information. We are advising suppliers that failure to adequately respond to our request for 3TG information may result in loss of approved vendor status. If a supplier is not on our approved vendor list, we will not obtain or accept parts from that supplier.

Audit

An independent private sector audit of our Conflict Minerals Report was not required for 2015.

Table 1. Smelters recognized by the CFSI reported in Quantum products.

Table 2. Country of origin data identified through the CFSI as being associated with smelters in Quantum’s supply chain. It is likely that we used conflict minerals from many of the following sources as well as some that have not yet been identified. In many cases Quantum received “Company Level” reporting templates that may include smelters that are not used in Quantum products. When checking smelters that may be in Quantum’s supply chain with the CFSI compliant smelter sourcing information, the following countries of origin were identified including countries not identified as conflict regions, countries that may have smuggling activity, countries adjoining the DRC and countries that are part of the DRC.
