Introduction:

Motorola Solutions (which may be referred to as “Motorola Solutions,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is a global leader in public safety and enterprise security. Our technologies in Land Mobile Radio Communications (“LMR” or “LMR Communications”), Video Security and Access Control (“Video”) and Command Center, bolstered by managed and support services, help make communities safer and businesses stay productive and secure. We serve more than 100,000 public safety and commercial customers in over 100 countries, providing “purpose-built” solutions designed for their unique needs, and we have a rich heritage of innovation focusing on advancing global safety for more than 90 years.

We manage our business organizationally through two segments: “Products and Systems Integration” and “Software and Services.” Within these segments, we have principal product lines that also follow our three major technologies: LMR Communications, Video and Command Center.

 

   

LMR Communications: Infrastructure, devices (two-way radio and broadband, including both for public safety and professional and commercial radio (“PCR”)) and software that enable communications, inclusive of installation and integration, backed by services, to assure availability, security and resiliency.

 

   

Video: Cameras (fixed, body-worn, in-vehicle), access control, infrastructure, video management, software and artificial intelligence (“AI”)-enabled analytics that enable visibility “on scene” and bring attention to what’s important.

 

   

Command Center: Software suite that enables collaboration and shares information throughout the public safety workflow from “911 call to case closure.”

We have invested across these three technologies, evolving our LMR focus to purposefully integrate software, video security and access control solutions for public safety and enterprise customers globally.

We are incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware as the successor to an Illinois corporation, Motorola, Inc., organized in 1928. We changed our name from Motorola, Inc. to Motorola Solutions, Inc. on January 4, 2011. Our principal executive offices are located at 500 West Monroe Street, Chicago, Illinois 60661.

Section 1 – Conflict Minerals Disclosure

 

Item 1.01

Conflict Minerals Disclosure and Report.

The Company is concerned about the social and environmental conditions that have been observed in some mines that supply metals known as “conflict minerals,” as defined in Form SD, which currently consist of the following metals: columbite-tantalite (coltan), cassiterite, gold, wolframite, or their derivatives, which are limited to tantalum, tin and tungsten. The longstanding civil war in the eastern provinces of the Democratic Republic of Congo (“DRC”) has impacted many mines that supply conflict minerals. Together with our peers, we are working to support the development and implementation of a tracking and validation system to ensure conflict minerals that originate in the DRC come from responsible mines and other sources free from association with armed conflict. For more information on our program and to view our Supplier Code of Conduct, please visit our website at www.motorolasolutions.com, select “About Us” and then select “Environmental, Social & Corporate Governance” and “Supply Chain.” The information contained in or accessible through our website is not a part of this Form SD and is not deemed incorporated by reference into this Form SD or any other public filing made with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

Motorola Solutions has concluded in good faith that during 2022:

 

  a)

Motorola Solutions manufactured and contracted to manufacture products as to which conflict minerals are necessary to the functionality or production of such products; and

 

  b)

Based on a reasonable country of origin inquiry (“RCOI”), Motorola Solutions has reason to believe that a portion of its necessary conflict minerals originated or may have originated in the DRC or an adjoining country (collectively referred to as the “Covered Countries”) and has reason to believe that those necessary conflict minerals may not be from recycled or scrap sources.

Motorola Solutions’ RCOI employed a combination of measures to determine whether the necessary conflict minerals in Motorola Solutions’ products originated from the Covered Countries. Motorola Solutions’ primary means of determining country of origin of necessary conflict minerals was by conducting a supply chain survey with direct suppliers using the Responsible Minerals Initiative (“RMI”) Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (“CMRT”). Motorola Solutions used the smelter information from the CMRT and the various smelters’ country of origin information provided through our membership to the RMI to determine the country of origin of material that may be in our products.
