Disclosure Pursuant to California Transparency in Supply Chain Act

The California Transparency in Supply Chain Act requires certain companies doing business in California to disclose information about their efforts to address the issues of slavery and human trafficking in their supply chains. 

AppliedMicro is committed to responsible sourcing, including the prevention and elimination of slavery, human trafficking and illegal child labor, if any, in our supply chain. We have solicited written confirmations from our key suppliers about the absence of slavery, human trafficking and illegal child labor in their businesses, and have a policy to discuss these and related topics with them during our periodic supplier reviews. We may request periodic re-confirmations from these and additional suppliers over time, depending on the context. We expect all of our suppliers to comply with all applicable laws, including laws governing forced, indentured or compulsory labor, human trafficking, and child labor. AppliedMicro has not, to date, engaged third parties to audit these matters, and is considering at this time whether to adopt more formal supplier verification, audit, certification, standards and training processes in this area.

AppliedMicro’s guiding principles concerning our workforce and business environment are set forth in our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, available at http://phx.corporate-ir.net/phoenix.zhtml?c=78121&p=irol-govHighlights. Consistent with these principles, we expect all of our suppliers to adopt sound human rights practices and to treat workers with dignity and respect, provide a safe work environment, conduct business in compliance with applicable environmental and employment laws, and comply with other applicable laws and regulations.
