<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: center">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.05pt">This is the Conflict Minerals Report of
Himax for calendar year 2020 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: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.05pt">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.05pt">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 Third 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 2020 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: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.05pt">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.05pt">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 direct 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>

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 Responsible
Minerals Initiative (RMI) and found not all from recycled or scrap sources.</P>

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>

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 immediate 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 affected immediate suppliers (&ldquo;the affected suppliers&rdquo;) were our
surveying targets to identify the smelters in Himax supply chain.</P>

material data sheets with their product delivery to QC Engineering Department and thus QC Engineering Department is capable of
controlling a complete supplier list and product list. We identified, to our best effort, the 3TG in Himax&rsquo;s supply chain
by utilizing the material data sheets and our Green Product database to mark the 3TG materials in the supply chain and to identify
the suppliers who provided these materials (&ldquo;the affected suppliers&rdquo;). During the 2020 reporting year, Himax has identified
35 affected suppliers and surveyed 100% of them with CMRT. The CMRT questionnaire survey included questions regarding a supplier&rsquo;s
responsible sourcing policies, its practices for engaging with its upstream suppliers, a request to list all smelters from which
its 3TG were sourced, and other detailed questions concerning the origins (from covered countries or conflicted-affected and high-risk
areas (CAHRAs)) of 3TG contained in the supplier&rsquo;s products as well as its 3TG due diligence policies and procedures.</P>
