INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATION

Conflict Minerals Report

For the reporting period from January 1, 2013 to December 31, 2013

This Conflict Minerals Report (the “Report”) of International Business Machines Corporation (the “Company” or “IBM”) has been prepared pursuant to Rule 13p-1 and Form SD (collectively, the “Rule”) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, for the period from January 1, 2013 to December 31, 2013 (the “Reporting Period”).

The Rule requires disclosure of certain information when a company manufactures or contracts to manufacture products, and the minerals specified in the Rule are necessary to the functionality or production of those products. The specified minerals, which are collectively referred to in this Report as the “Conflict Minerals,” are gold, columbite-tantalite (coltan), cassiterite and wolframite, including their derivatives, which are limited to tantalum, tin and tungsten.  The “Covered Countries” for the purposes of the Rule and this Report are the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the Republic of the Congo, the Central African Republic, South Sudan, Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, Tanzania, Zambia and Angola.  As described in this Report, Conflict Minerals are necessary to the functionality or production of certain products that the Company’s operations manufacture or contract to manufacture.

Description of the Company’s Products

This Report 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 the Reporting Period.  These products, which are referred to in this Report collectively as the “Covered Products,” include the following product categories that are manufactured or contracted to be manufactured by the Company’s Systems and Technology Group:

(1) Systems: a range of general purpose and integrated systems designed and optimized for specific business, public and scientific computing needs. These systems—System z, Power Systems and System x—are typically the core technology in data centers that provide required infrastructure for business and institutions.

(2) Storage: data storage products and solutions that allow clients to retain and manage rapidly growing, complex volumes of digital information. These solutions address critical client requirements for information retention and archiving, security, compliance and storage optimization, including data deduplication, availability and virtualization. The portfolio consists of a broad range of disk and tape storage systems and software, including Flash storage and solutions.

(3) Microelectronics: semiconductor design and manufacturing primarily for use in the Company’s systems and storage products, as well as delivering semiconductors and related services to external clients.

The Company is not a direct purchaser of ore or unrefined minerals and is several tiers “downstream” from the smelters or refiners (the “SORs”) of such minerals.  SORs are at the point in the supply chain where ores, concentrates and/or scrap material are converted to a metal.  IBM, like many downstream companies, is positioned in the supply chain between SORs and consumers and generally does not have direct business relationships with SORs or visibility to the extraction and movement of Conflict Minerals between SORs and upstream entities, increasing the difficulty of determining the origin of the Conflict Minerals in the Covered Products and, as a result, the Company’s reliance on industry processes and information from its suppliers.

Due Diligence Process

The Company has conducted a good faith reasonable country of origin inquiry regarding the Conflict Minerals. This good faith reasonable country of origin inquiry was reasonably designed to determine whether any of the Conflict Minerals originated in the Covered Countries and whether any of the Conflict Minerals may be from recycled or scrap sources. The Company also exercised due diligence on the source and chain of custody of the Conflict Minerals. The Company’s due diligence measures for all of its Conflict Minerals have been designed to conform in all material respects to the framework in the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chain of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High Risk Areas, including the related supplements pertaining to downstream companies.

Under IBM’s Conflict Minerals standard, which was created and released in August 2011, IBM’s suppliers and, in turn, their suppliers are expected to adhere to the Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition (“EICC”) code of conduct and only source minerals from responsible sources.  The standard also reflects the Company’s desire to participate in industry initiatives and to create and deploy supply chain verification processes that confirm that the minerals in the Company’s supply chain come from responsible sources.  This standard has been communicated to the Company’s upstream suppliers and posted on its website at www.ibm.com/conflictminerals.

The Company’s due diligence design reflects the principles of IBM’s Conflict Minerals standard and that IBM is a downstream company.  The Company’s reasonable country of origin inquiry and due diligence process, including its efforts to determine the mine or location of origin with the greatest possible specificity, leveraged multiple industry processes and tools, and centered on the EICC’s Conflict-Free Smelter Program (“CFSP”), an initiative in which an independent third party audits SOR procurement and tolling activities and determines if the SOR demonstrated that all of the Conflict Minerals they processed originated from “conflict free” sources.  The program aims to enable companies to source conflict-free minerals and consists of a review at the SORs site(s) to evaluate company policies and implementation, and a complete material analysis aimed at demonstrating that the sources of all Conflict Minerals procured by the SOR site are conflict free.

Specifically, to determine the origin of any Conflict Minerals used in the Covered Products, the Company undertook the following actions:

·                  Identified in-scope direct suppliers to IBM for its Covered Products;

·                  Conveyed conflict minerals information to these suppliers from the IBM Global Procurement and EICC websites;

·                  Surveyed the direct in-scope suppliers, representing approximately 90% of the Company’s global production expenditures associated with Systems, Storage, and Microelectronics, using the EICC/GeSI Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (“CMRT”) to identify their SORs;

·                  Compared the SORs identified by suppliers to the CFSP list of compliant smelters to ascertain the “conflict free” status of the SORs in the Company’s supply chain; and

·                  Assessed country of origin information derived from the CFSP to ascertain whether any Conflict Minerals in the Covered Products originated in the Covered Countries.

Based on the information that was provided by the Company’s suppliers and otherwise obtained through the due diligence process described above, the Company believes that, to the extent reasonably determinable by the Company, the facilities that were used to process the Conflict Minerals contained in the Covered Products are listed in Appendix A.  Furthermore, based on the information obtained pursuant to the due diligence process described above, the Company has reasonably determined that the countries of origin of the Conflict Minerals in the Covered Products are those listed in Appendix A.

Reporting Period Determination

After exercising the due diligence described above, the Company was unable to determine whether or not all of the Covered Products qualify as “DRC conflict free,” as defined under the Rule.

Conflict Mineral Risk Mitigation

The Company expects to take the following steps, among others, to improve its due diligence measures and to further mitigate the risk that the necessary Conflict Minerals contained in the Company’s products finance or benefit armed groups in the Covered Countries:

·                  Contribute to the continued development of collaborative tools and resources for companies to use to help assess their supply chains and avoid inclusion of conflict sourced minerals in the extended supply chain;

·                  Continue to contribute to and remain aware of developments in conflict minerals due diligence processes through continued participation in the Conflict Free

3

Sourcing Initiative (“CFSI”) and apply that knowledge to the Company’s Conflict Minerals risk assessment and mitigation process;

·                  Work in concert with CFSI members and suppliers to contact SORs to better understand their sourcing circumstances and gain their commitment to a CFSP assessment or another recognized validation scheme;

·                  Seek resolution for the identified SORs in IBM’s supply chain that are not currently on CFSI’s list of recognized SORs and drive additional identified SORs in IBM’s supply chain into the CFSP;

·                  Support Conflict Minerals Reporting Templates through review, feedback and validation of IBM supplier responses using the most current smelter information; and

·                  Influence upstream sourcing practices to encourage the usage of CFSP compliant SORs.
