## Exhibit 1.01

**Exhibit 1.01**

**Netlist, Inc.**

**Conflict Minerals Report**

**For The Reporting Period from January 1, 2024 to December 31, 2024**

This Conflict Minerals Report (the "Report") of Netlist, Inc. ("Netlist," "we," "us," or "our") for the reporting period from January 1, 2024 to December 31, 2024 (the "Reporting Period") is presented to comply with Rule 13p-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Rule"). The Rule was adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") to implement reporting requirements related to "conflict minerals," defined by the SEC as columbite-tantalite (coltan), cassiterite, gold, wolframite, or their derivatives, which are limited to tantalum, tin, and tungsten.

The Rule imposes certain reporting obligations on SEC registrants whose products contain conflict minerals that are necessary to the functionality or production of their products (referred to as "necessary conflict minerals"). For products that contain necessary conflict minerals, the registrant must conduct in good faith a reasonable country of origin inquiry that is reasonably designed to determine whether any of the necessary conflict minerals originated in the Democratic Republic of the Congo ("DRC") or an adjoining country (collectively, the "Covered Countries"). If, based on such inquiry, the registrant knows or has reason to believe that any of the necessary conflict minerals originated or may have originated in a Covered Country and may not be solely from recycled or scrap sources, the registrant must conduct due diligence to determine if the necessary conflict minerals directly or indirectly financed or benefited armed groups (as defined by the SEC in Form SD) in the Covered Countries.

**Overview**

***Our Company and Our Covered Products***

We design, manufacture and sell high-performance computer storage and memory solutions to enterprise customers in diverse industries. Our innovative very low profile dual in-line memory modules ("DIMMs") provide developers of server blades, storage bridge bay applications, telecommunications servers, switches and routers with a wide range of high-performance memory options where efficient use of motherboard space is critical. Our technology has allowed us to decrease the system board space required for memory, and improve thermal performance and operating speeds, by enabling our customers to use alternative methods of component layout. Our portfolio of proprietary technologies and design techniques includes our patented distributed memory buffer architecture and associated systems, as utilized in load reduced dual in-line memory modules; our patented intelligent power management systems as utilized by DDR5 DIMMs; our high-capacity High Bandwidth Memory; and our patented advanced memory stacking technologies that dramatically increase densities for memory components needed in the most demanding high-performance computing tasks and environments today. We are investing in new technologies like memory expansion applications that utilize Compute Express Link, which will improve server capacity and bandwidth beyond what traditional server memory channels can provide. Due to our relationships with memory channel customers, we resell certain component products purchased for the purpose of resale, in addition to selling our own products. We also collaborate with companies implementing our technology, through mutually-beneficial strategic agreements.

As described in this Report, we have determined that gold, tantalum, tin and tungsten (collectively, "3TG metals") were necessary to the functionality or production of certain of our products manufactured during the Reporting Period. As a result, this Report covers the following: (1) products for which 3TG metals are necessary to their functionality or production; (2) products that we manufactured or contracted to be manufactured; and (3) products for which the manufacture was completed during the Reporting Period. These products, which are collectively referred to in this Report as "Covered Products," consist of the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· *DIMM Products*. These products are dual in-line memory module ("DIMM") products.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· *NAND Flash Products*. These products include microSD, SD, SSD, SATA, PATA and others.

Third-party products that we resell but do not manufacture or contract to manufacture are outside the scope of this Report.

***Our Commitment to Responsible Sourcing***

In support of global responsible sourcing, we are committed to monitoring our supply chain with a goal of ensuring that conflict minerals directly or indirectly benefitting armed groups identified as perpetrators of serious human rights abuses in the Covered Countries are not used in the manufacture of Netlist products. A copy of our Conflict Minerals Policy is available at our website at investors.netlist.com/websites/netlist/English/4200/responsibility.html. All website references in this Report are intended to be inactive textual references, and the contents of our website are not incorporated into this Report.

***Our Conflict Minerals Due Diligence Program, and Results for the Reporting Period***

We require our suppliers to source conflict minerals from smelters and refiners that are either validated as compliant with conflict-free sourcing standards (such as the Responsible Minerals Assurance Process (the "RMAP") developed by the Responsible Mining Initiative ("RMI") or standards enacted by the London Bullion Market Association ("LBMA") or the Responsible Jewelry Council ("RJC")), or on the path to validation under one of these programs. We refer to smelters and refiners that have been validated to meet one or more of these conflict-free sourcing standards as "Compliant," and we refer to smelters and refiners that are actively engaged in an effort to become validated under one or more of these standards as "Active". To ensure our suppliers meet our requirement for conflict-free sourcing, we: (1) make all suppliers aware of our commitment to responsible sourcing as described above, as well as our expectation that all smelters and refiners in our supply chain are Compliant with one or more conflict-free sourcing standards; (2) conduct ongoing due diligence on the source and chain of custody of conflict minerals in our supply chain in conformance with 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: Third Edition (2016), and the related supplements on the 3TG metals (collectively, "OECD Guidance"); and (3) otherwise encourage suppliers to adopt responsible sourcing practices. To further transparency in the conflict minerals supply chain, in addition to publicly reporting the results of our due diligence efforts annually, we share our due diligence results directly with our customers.

During the Reporting Period, we worked with our suppliers to increase sourcing from smelters and refiners that were validated as Compliant or Active. As part of our efforts, we improved our initial screening process to help prevent non-Compliant smelters and refiners from entering our supply chain. Of the 148 smelters or refiners we believe were in our supply chain for the Reporting Period, 100% were validated as Compliant.

**Our Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry**

As described in this Report, we have determined that the 3TG metals were necessary to the functionality or production of the Covered Products. As a result, we conducted in good faith a reasonable country of origin inquiry ("RCOI") reasonably designed to determine whether any of these 3TG metals originated in the Covered Countries or may have been from recycled or scrap sources.

We do not acquire 3TG metals directly from mines, smelters or refiners; rather, we obtain the parts of the Covered Products that include 3TG metals from a number of third-party suppliers. Our supply chain is complex, and there are many organizations in our supply chain between us and the original sources of the 3TG metals. As a result, our RCOI primarily consists of outreach to our direct suppliers, and our requirement that they participate in our Supplier Management Process. This process begins with our annual submission of an inquiry letter to each of our direct suppliers, along with the RMI Conflict Minerals Reporting Template ("CMRT") and Netlist's Conflict Minerals Policy. Through the CMRT, we request information from each supplier regarding its supply chains for 3TG metals, including the names and locations of smelters and refiners of 3TG metals, as well as the country of origin of 3TG metals processed by such smelters and refiners. We also make our suppliers aware that smelters and refiners that fail to become Compliant or Active with respect to one or more conflict-free sourcing standards will be targeted for removal from our supply chain.

According to the information provided by our suppliers, we have reason to believe that at least some of the necessary 3TG metals contained in the Covered Products or used in their manufacture may have originated from the Covered Countries or may not be from recycled or scrap sources. As a result, we conducted due diligence on the source and chain of custody of such 3TG metals, as described below.

**Our Conflict Minerals Due Diligence Program**

The design of our conflict minerals due diligence program is in conformity with the principles of the OECD Guidance, specifically as it relates to our position in the conflict minerals supply chain as a "downstream" purchaser. Summarized below are the components of our conflict minerals due diligence program, as they relate to the five-step framework from the OECD Guidance. The below description is intended to be a summary and does not describe all of the conflict minerals due diligence measures we performed during the Reporting Period.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**1.** **Establishment of Strong Company Management Systems** 

We have completed a number of steps to establish a management system for addressing the sourcing of 3TG metals in the Covered Products. These steps include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a. **Conflict Minerals Policy**: We maintain a policy regarding the sourcing of conflict minerals used in, or in the manufacture of, our products. A copy of this Conflict Minerals Policy is available at our website at investors.netlist.com/websites/netlist/English/4200/responsibility.html.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b. **Internal Conflict Minerals Team**: Members of our management (the "Conflict Minerals Team") participate in the design and execution of our conflict minerals due diligence program and cooperate to manage and support our supply chain due diligence. The Conflict Minerals Team identifies the suppliers to be contacted, adopted and approved for use of the CMRT discussed above. We interact with our suppliers to obtain updated and current CMRTs, and analyze the information provided by each supplier on the sourcing of the 3TG metals used in, or in the manufacture of, the Covered Products. Each response is reviewed to identify missing information and unclear responses. Our Conflict Minerals Team meets regularly to discuss the results of our due diligence efforts and appropriate follow-up measures to be taken with our suppliers.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;c. **Supply Chain Control System**: We use the CMRT to identify the smelters and refiners that are in the supply chain of each of our suppliers. We periodically review and compare this list to the list of smelters and refiners identified by the RMI as Compliant or Active under the RMAP. This enables us to identify the smelters and refiners that have been validated under this standard, as well as those that are actively progressing toward an audit to determine their status. We have determined this approach represents the most reasonable effort we can make to determine whether the 3TG metals used in, or in the manufacture of, the Covered Products originate from the Covered Countries or may not be from recycled or scrap sources.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;d. **Supplier Engagement**: We actively engage with our suppliers to ensure they are complying with our conflict minerals due diligence program, including completion of the CMRT and participation in supply chain surveys and related due diligence activities. We communicate with our suppliers to identify the sources and status of the 3TG metals used in the Covered Products, and to encourage each smelter and refinery in our supply chain to become Active or Compliant in the RMAP or another conflict-free sourcing standard.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**2.** **Identification and Assessment of Risks in the Supply Chain** 

Our due diligence program consists primarily of the following: First, we identify our direct suppliers of the Covered Products and their components; then, we request these suppliers to complete the CMRT and return it to us; then, we evaluate the completeness and accuracy of each supplier's responses and contact suppliers whose responses we believe contain incomplete or potentially inaccurate information, in order to seek additional clarifying information. In general, we intend to contact each of our suppliers at least once every six months, to check on the status of their continuing due diligence efforts and to obtain updated information. When we receive completed CMRTs from our direct suppliers, and after conducting any required follow-up to obtain additional clarifying information, we record all information we have obtained to identify the potential smelters and refiners in our supply chain. We then compare this list of potential smelters and refiners in our supply chain to the lists compiled by the RMAP to determine which smelters and refiners have been determined to be Compliant or Active.

Because of our position in the supply chain, it can be challenging for us to identify actors upstream from our suppliers. As discussed above, we identify each of our direct suppliers, and we rely on these suppliers to provide us with complete and accurate information about the source of 3TG metals used in, or in the manufacture of, the Covered Products. Similarly, our direct suppliers are reliant on information provided by their suppliers regarding the original source of such 3TG metals.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**3.** **Designing and Implementing a Strategy to Respond to Identified Risks** 

We are designing and implementing a risk management plan, which will be managed and monitored by the above-described Conflict Minerals Team under the oversight of our manufacturing management.

We have also communicated to all of our direct suppliers our expectation that products and components supplied to us that contain 3TG metals or other conflict minerals be sourced from a Compliant or Active smelter or refiner.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**4.** **Carrying Out Independent Third-Party Audit of Supply Chain Due Diligence at Identified Points in the Supply Chain** 

Because we do not source 3TG metals directly from smelters or refiners, we rely on independent third-party auditing programs, such as the RMAP, LBMA, and RJC, to coordinate audits of smelters and refiners that may be in our supply chain.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**5.** **Reporting on Supply Chain Due Diligence** 

We report the results of our conflict minerals due diligence program annually by filing this Report and the accompanying Form SD with the SEC, and by making these materials available on our website at investors.netlist.com/websites/netlist/English/3200/us-sec-filings.html.

**Conflict Minerals Due Diligence Findings**

***Overall Findings***

Our efforts to determine the mine or location of origin of the 3TG metals used in, or in the manufacture of, the Covered Products with the greatest possible specificity consisted primarily of the due diligence measures described in this Report.

Based on the information provided by our suppliers and otherwise obtained through our conflict minerals due diligence program, we identified 148 smelters and refiners that are recognized by RMAP, LBMA or RJC to be processors of 3TG metals and that we believe, to the extent reasonably determinable by us, were potentially in our supply chain for the Covered Products in the Reporting Period. These 148 smelters or refiners are included in <u>Appendix A</u> of this Report. Of these 148 smelters or refiners, 100% were validated as Compliant. The following graphics illustrate these overall findings:

![](tm2516109d1_ex1-01img001.jpg)

***Country of Origin Findings***

Our due diligence efforts did not result in sufficient information to conclusively determine all countries of origin of the 3TG metals used in, or in the manufacture of, the Covered Products, primarily because RMAP may not have reliable country of origin information for the smelters and refiners that may be in our supply chain and are not validated as Compliant. The following table sets forth the countries of origin of the 3TG metals that may have been used in, or in the manufacture of, the Covered Products, based on information provided by our suppliers and RMAP that is available to us:

***Covered Products Findings***

As described above, the Covered Products include NAND Flash products and DIMM products. Based on the information provided to us by our suppliers, we believe the 3TG metals used in, or in the manufacture of, the Covered Products were all sourced from smelters or refiners that are Compliant.

**2025 Improvement Measures**

During the reporting period from January 1, 2024 to December 31, 2024, we intend to take the following steps to further pursue our commitment to responsible sourcing, as described above, including improving our conflict minerals due diligence program:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Continue to proactively work with all our suppliers to accomplish our goal that all smelters and refiners in our supply chain are Compliant; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Continue to refine and improve our escalation processes to ensure quick remediation, including removal, of any smelter or refiner that does not timely attain or that loses Compliant status.

**Inherent Limitations on Due Diligence Measures**

As a downstream purchaser of products that contain conflict minerals, our due diligence measures can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance regarding the source and chain of custody of the conflict minerals used in, or in the manufacture of, the Covered Products. Because we do not have direct contractual or other relationships with the mines, smelters and refiners that produce conflict minerals, our due diligence program necessarily relies on the data supplied by our direct suppliers. These direct suppliers, in turn, rely on similar information provided within their supply chains to identify the original sources of conflict minerals. As a result, the results of our due diligence efforts could contain inaccuracies or incomplete information due to this process of collecting the information. Further, many suppliers report smelter and refiner information at the company level, rather than limiting their responses to smelters and refiners affiliated with specific products included in the request. As a result, some of the smelters and refiners included in this Report as potentially in our supply chain may not, in fact, be associated with the Covered Products or their manufacture. In addition, we rely on information collected and provided by independent third-party auditing programs, and these sources of information may yield unreliable, inaccurate or incomplete information due to a variety of factors, including human or other errors or fraudulent actions.

***Cautionary Statement about Forward-Looking Statements***

*This Report contains forward-looking statements regarding our business, products and conflict minerals due diligence efforts, including steps we intend to take in the future to improve these due diligence measures.
