Section 1 - Conflict Minerals Disclosure
Items 1.01 and 1.02 Conflict Minerals Disclosure and Report;
Exhibit
This Form SD of Applied Optoelectronics,
Inc. (the “Company”) is filed pursuant to Rule 13p-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Rule”)
for the reporting period from January 1, 2016 to December 31, 2016.
Certain
Conflict Minerals (as defined in paragraph (d)(3) of Item 1.01) are necessary to the functionality or production of certain
products manufactured by the Company. We conducted in good faith a Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry (RCOI) on the source of
our Conflict Minerals for 2016. Based on the responses to our RCOI, we have reason to believe that, during the period covered by
this report, certain of such Conflict Minerals likely originated in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (the “DRC”)
and/or one or more of the countries that share an internationally recognized border with the DRC. Accordingly, the Company has
prepared a Conflict Minerals Report, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 1.01. The Conflict Minerals Report is also publicly
available on the Company’s website at
http://ao-inc.com/about-our-company/global-compliance
.
The Company is filing its Conflict Minerals Report for the reporting period January 1, 2016 to December 31, 2016 as Exhibit 1.01
to this report as required by Item 1.01.
Section 2 – Exhibits
Item 2.01 Exhibits
Exhibit 1.01 – Conflict Minerals Report for the reporting
period January 1, 2016 to December 31, 2016 as required by Items 1.01 and 1.02 of this Form.
