Declares Cash Dividend for FY2014</h3><h4 align="center">30 Cents Per ADS Payable on July 08, 2015</h4><p>TAINAN, Taiwan, May 11, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Himax Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq:HIMX) ("Himax" or "Company"), a supplier and fabless manufacturer of advanced display drivers and other semiconductor products, today declared a cash dividend of 30 cents per ADS, equivalent to 15 cents per ordinary share, for the year of 2014.</p><p>
