Section 1- Conflict Minerals Disclosure
Item 1.01 Conflict Minerals Disclosure and Report
This Form SD of Astera Labs, Inc. (the "Company") is filed pursuant to Rule 13p-1 (the "Rule") promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, for the reporting period January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2025.
The Rule requires disclosure of certain information when a company manufactures or contracts to manufacture products for which the minerals specified in the Rule are necessary to the functionality or production of those products. The minerals specified by the Rule are gold, tantalum, tin and tungsten (collectively, "3TG"). The "Covered Countries" for the purposes of the Rule are the Democratic Republic of the Congo or an adjoining country.
The following disclosure, in response to the provisions of paragraphs (a) and (b) of Item 1.01 of Form SD, has been made in accordance with the Updated Statement on the Effect of the Court of Appeals Decision on the Conflict Minerals Rule issued by the Division of Corporation Finance of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on April 7, 2017 (the "April 2017 Guidance"). As permitted under the April 2017 Guidance, this Form SD does not address Item 1.01(c) of Form SD.
Conflict Minerals Disclosure
Description of the Company's Products
This Form SD relates to products: (i) for which Conflict Minerals are necessary to the functionality or production of that product; (ii) that were manufactured, or contracted to be manufactured, by the Company; and (iii) for which the manufacture was completed during calendar year 2025. These products (collectively, the "Covered Products") consist of semiconductor and connectivity products.
Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry ("RCOI")
Following our initial determination that certain of our hardware products include components that contain metallic forms of 3TG minerals, we engaged a third party to assist us in conducting our RCOI to determine whether such 3TG minerals may have originated in the Covered Countries. The measures that we have taken in conducting the RCOI include disseminating a supply-chain survey to direct suppliers of components containing 3TG using the Conflict Minerals Reporting Template ("CMRT"), a standardized reporting template developed by the Responsible Minerals Initiative. The CMRT is designed to facilitate the transfer of information through the supply chain regarding mineral country of origin and the smelters and refiners being utilized.
We received responses to the CMRT from four suppliers that represented 100% of our suppliers of components containing 3TG during the applicable reporting period. The suppliers' responses that we received were reviewed for completeness and consistency. The suppliers' CMRT responses identified lists of smelters or refiners, in addition to their countries of origin, that may have supplied 3TG minerals utilized in the Covered Products during the applicable period. Based on the CMRT responses received, the Company was unable to determine the country of origin of all of the 3TG minerals used in its Covered Products.
Based upon its RCOI and review of supplier responses, the Company has determined that its Covered Products could contain 3TG minerals that may have originated in the Covered Countries. Despite having conducted a good faith RCOI and related supplier inquiries, the Company has been unable to determine the country of origin of all of the 3TG minerals used in its Covered Products.
