<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">This Conflict Minerals Report of Silicon Laboratories Inc. (&#147;Silicon Laboratories&#148; or &#147;the Company&#148;) is presented to comply with Rule&nbsp;13p-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (&#147;Rule&#148;).&nbsp;The Rule&nbsp;was adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (&#147;SEC&#148;) to implement reporting and disclosure requirements related to &#147;conflict minerals&#148; as directed by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (&#147;Dodd-Frank Act&#148;). Conflict minerals are defined by the SEC as cassiterite, columbite-tantalite, gold and wolframite, as well as their derivatives (including tantalum, tin and tungsten) and any other mineral or its derivatives determined by the United States Secretary of State to be financing conflict in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (&#147;DRC&#148;) or an adjoining country (collectively, &#147;Covered Countries&#148;).</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Rule&nbsp;imposes certain reporting obligations on SEC registrants that file reports under Section&nbsp;13(a)&nbsp;or Section&nbsp;15(d)&nbsp;of the Exchange Act whose products contain conflict minerals that are necessary to the functionality or production of their products, exempting conflict minerals that, prior to January&nbsp;31, 2013, were located &#147;outside of the supply chain&#148; (as defined in the Rule). For products which contain necessary conflict minerals, the registrant must conduct in good faith a reasonable country of origin inquiry designed to determine whether any of the conflict minerals originated in the Covered Countries.&nbsp;&nbsp;If, based on such inquiry, the registrant knows or has reason to believe that any of the necessary conflict minerals contained in its products originated or may have originated in a Covered Country and knows or has reason to believe that those necessary conflict minerals may not be solely from recycled or scrap sources, the registrant must conduct due diligence as to whether the necessary conflict minerals contained in those products did or did not directly or indirectly finance or benefit armed groups in the Covered Countries.&nbsp;&nbsp;Products which do not contain necessary conflict minerals that directly or indirectly finance or benefit armed groups in the Covered Countries are considered &#147;DRC conflict free.&#148;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Certain of the Company&#146;s products contain conflict minerals, including gold, tantalum, tin and/or tungsten. These minerals are necessary to the functionality of the products contracted by the Company to be manufactured. Pursuant to the Rule, the Company undertook due diligence measures on the source and chain of custody of the conflict minerals in its products that the Company had reason to believe may have originated from the Covered Countries and may not have come from recycled or scrap sources, to determine whether such products were DRC conflict free.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The following describes: (a)&nbsp;the measures the Company has taken to exercise due diligence on the source and chain of custody of the conflict minerals contained in its products; and (b)&nbsp;the Company&#146;s products, including information on the facilities used to process the necessary conflict minerals in those products, the country of origin of the necessary conflict minerals in those products and the Company&#146;s efforts to determine the mine or location of origin of those conflict minerals with the greatest possible specificity.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The design of the Company&#146;s conflict minerals program is in conformity with the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (&#147;OECD&#148;) Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas, Second Edition, and related Supplements on Tin, Tantalum and Tungsten and on Gold (collectively, &#147;OECD Guidance&#148;), as it relates to the Company&#146;s position in the minerals supply chain.

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">As a fabless semiconductor company, Silicon Laboratories relies on third-party semiconductor fabricators to manufacture the silicon wafers that reflect its IC designs. Each wafer contains numerous die, which are cut from the wafer to create a chip for an IC. The Company relies on third parties to assemble, package, and, in most cases, test these devices and ship these units to its customers.</font></p>
