the Securities Exchange Act of 1934</B></P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; text-align: center; margin: 0pt 0"><B>&nbsp;</B></P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; text-align: center; margin: 0pt 0"><B><U>Summary</U></B></P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">This is the Conflict Minerals Report of Himax for calendar year 2015 in accord with Rule
13p-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (&ldquo;Rule 13p-1&rdquo;). Numerous terms in this Report are defined in Rule 13p-1
and Form SD and the reader is referred to those sources and to the 1934 Act Release No. 34-67716 (the year of 2012) for such definitions.</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">In accord with Rule 13p-1, Himax undertook due diligence to seek to determine whether
the necessary conflict minerals in the products placed into commerce by Himax were or were not &ldquo;DRC Conflict Free&rdquo;.
Himax designed its due diligence measures to be in conformity, in all material respects, with the nationally or internationally
recognized due diligence framework in the OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected
and High-Risk Areas Second Edition (&ldquo;OECD Framework&rdquo;) and related Supplements for each of the conflict minerals. For
the purposes of this report, the products placed into commerce by Himax are Himax&rsquo;s principal driver IC and module products
that are critical components in display technology. These products are generally used in consumer electronics products such as
desktop monitors, notebook computers, televisions and mobile phones. As a result of our due diligence efforts, Himax has concluded
in good faith that during 2015 and with respect to the necessary conflict minerals that originated or may have originated from
the Covered Countries, Himax&rsquo;s principal driver IC and module products are &ldquo;DRC Conflict Free&rdquo; (as defined).</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">Himax&rsquo;s due diligence measures were based on multi-industry initiatives with the
smelters and refiners of conflict minerals who provide those conflict minerals to Himax&rsquo;s affected suppliers. Himax as a
purchaser is many steps removed from the mining of the conflict minerals. Furthermore, Himax does not buy raw ore or unrefined
conflict minerals or make purchases from the Covered Countries. The origin of the conflict minerals cannot be determined with any
certainty once the raw ores are smelted, refined and converted to ingots, bullion or other conflict mineral containing derivatives.
The smelters and refiners are the consolidating points for raw ore and are in the best position in the total supply chain to know
the origin of the ores.</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">Himax has verified a total of 37 affected suppliers provided the materials containing
tin, tungsten, tantalum, and gold (hereinafter &ldquo;3TG&rdquo;). All affected suppliers have followed by Himax&rsquo;s inquiry
to response the origin of 3TG using Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (CMRT) developed by Conflict Free Sourcing Initiative
(CFSI), and found not all from recycled or scrap sources.</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">Himax has taken the following measures to exercise due diligence on the source and chain
of custody of the conflict minerals in its products. With respect to the period covered, the design of the due diligence measures
described in Himax&rsquo;s Conflict Minerals Report (herein after &ldquo;CMR&rdquo;) conforms generally with the Organisation for
Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected
and High Risk Areas, as further set out in the specific guidance for downstream companies contained in the Supplement on Tin, Tantalum,
and Tungsten and the Supplement for Gold (hereinafter collectively &ldquo;OECD Guidance&rdquo;). Below five steps have been taken
by Himax in compliance of OECD Guidance:</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0 0pt 21pt">Himax, because of its size, the complexity of its products and the depth, breadth
and constant evolution of its supply chain, finds it difficult to identify actors upstream from its direct principal driver IC
and module products suppliers even though Himax is in direct personal contact with the first tier affected suppliers and has obtained
assurances in conversation and writing (by CMRT) of their upstream smelters and Conflicted Minerals&rsquo; origins. Given the facts
above, the first tier suppliers were our surveying targets to identify the smelters in Himax supply chain.</P>

CMRT.</P>
