Conflict Minerals Report

For the reporting Period January 1 to December 31, 2018

This Conflict Minerals Report (“CMR”) has been prepared by Everspin Technologies, Inc. (herein referred to, alternatively, as “Everspin,” “we” and “our”). This CMR for the reporting period January 1 to December 31, 2018 is presented to comply with the final conflict minerals implementing rules (“Final Rules”) promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), as modified by SEC guidance issued on April 29, 2014 and the SEC order issued on May 2, 2014. The Final Rules were adopted by the SEC to implement reporting and disclosure requirements related to conflict minerals as directed by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 as codified in Section 13(p) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Final Rules impose certain reporting obligations on SEC registrants whose manufactured products contain conflict minerals that are necessary to the functionality or production of their products. “Conflict minerals” are currently defined by the SEC as cassiterite, columbite-tantalite (coltan), gold, wolframite, or their derivatives, which the SEC has currently limited to tin, tantalum, tungsten, and gold.

To comply with the Final Rules, we conducted due diligence on the origin, source and chain of custody of the conflict minerals that were necessary to the functionality or production of the products that we manufactured or contracted to manufacture to ascertain whether these conflict minerals originated in the Democratic Republic of the Congo or an adjoining country (collectively, “Covered Countries”) and financed or benefited armed groups (as defined in Section 1, Item 1.01(d)(2) of Form SD) in any of these countries.

Pursuant to SEC guidance issued April 29, 2014 and the SEC order issued May 2, 2014, Everspin is not required to describe any of its products as “DRC conflict free” (as defined in Section 1, Item 1.01(d)(4) of Form SD), “DRC conflict undeterminable” (as defined in Section 1, Item 1.01(d)(5) of Form SD) or “having not been found to be ‘DRC conflict free,’” and therefore makes no conclusion in this regard in the report presented herein. Furthermore, given that Everspin has not voluntarily elected to describe any of its products as “DRC conflict free,” an independent private sector audit of the report presented herein has not been conducted.

I. Product Overview

Headquartered in Chandler, Arizona, Everspin Technologies, Inc. is the worldwide leader in designing, manufacturing, and commercially shipping discrete and embedded Magnetoresistive RAM (MRAM) and Spin-Torque MRAM (ST-MRAM) into markets and applications where data persistence and integrity, low latency, and security are paramount.

Everspin sells its products to leading original equipment manufacturers and original design manufacturers that manufacture products for its end customers. In general, Everspin works directly with its customers to have its MRAM devices designed into and qualified for their products. Although Everspin maintains direct sales, support and development relationships with its end customers, most of its products are sold to those end customers through distributors.

II. Supply Chain Overview

Everspin employs both a fabless and a fab-lite manufacturing business model and relies on third-party suppliers for the majority of the manufacturing process, including fabrication, assembly and testing. These suppliers also are responsible for procurement of raw materials used in the production of its products. For its Chandler Arizona Toggle MRAM production, Everspin purchases partially processed CMOS wafers and completes the fabrication of the wafer though deposition of MRAM bits using its proprietary manufacturing processes.

For purposes of this CMR, references to our “products” refer to our hardware products, and references to our “suppliers” refer to our product suppliers.

III. Conflict Minerals Analysis and Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry

Based upon a review of our products and our reasonable country of origin inquiry (“RCOI”), we have concluded that:

We are therefore required by the Final Rules to file with the SEC a Form SD and a Conflict Minerals Report as an exhibit thereto.

IV. Design of Due Diligence Measures

Everspin designed its due diligence with respect to the source and chain of custody of the conflict minerals contained in its products based on the five-step framework set forth in the Third Edition of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development’s Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas and the supplements thereto (the “OECD Guidance”).

V. Due Diligence Measures Performed by Everspin

Everspin performed the following due diligence measures in accordance with the OECD Guidance and the Final Rules:

OECD Guidance Step #1: Establish Strong Company Management Systems

OECD Guidance Step #2: Identify and Assess Risk in the Supply Chain

OECD Guidance Step #3: Design and Implement a Strategy to Respond to Identified Risks

OECD Guidance Step #4: Carry Out Independent Third-Party Audit of Supply Chain Due Diligence at Identified Points in the Supply Chain

Given that Everspin does not have a direct relationship with the smelters and refiners that process the conflict minerals that are present in its products, Everspin relies on the RMI to conduct third-party audits of smelters and refiners.

OECD Guidance Step #5: Report on Supply Chain Due Diligence

As required by the Final Rules, we have filed a Form SD and a Conflict Minerals Report as an exhibit thereto for the 2018 calendar year reporting period. The Form SD and Conflict Minerals Report are also available on our website at www.Everspin.com > Investors > Financial Reports > SEC Filings.

VI. Smelters and Refiners Identified

As a result of Everspin’s reasonable country of origin inquiry, we have reviewed 7 suppliers, representing 100% of suppliers. These suppliers were found to be conformant to Everspin’s Conflict Materials Policy.

VII. Steps to Mitigate Risk

Everspin intends to take the following steps to mitigate the risk that its necessary conflict minerals benefit armed groups:
