Section 1 - Conflict Minerals Disclosure
Items 1.01 and 1.02 Conflict Minerals Disclosure and Report, Exhibit
Micrel, Incorporated (“Micrel”), has determined that substantially all of its products contain components likely to contain conflict minerals. Micrel performed a reasonable country of origin inquiry and concluded that a portion of its conflict minerals may have originated in the Democratic Republic of Congo or an adjoining country. Micrel has reason to believe that those conflict minerals may not be from recycle or scrap sources. Accordingly, Micrel proceeded to exercise due diligence on the source and chain of custody of its conflict minerals.
Micrel has prepared a Conflict Minerals Report, which is attached as Exhibit 1.01 to this Specialized Disclosure Report on Form SD. The Conflict Minerals Report includes a discussion of the due diligence procedures performed, Micrel’s determinations regarding the source and chain of custody of its conflict minerals, and the disclosures required by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The Registrant has disclosed the information above, along with a copy of its Conflict Minerals Report and related materials, on its website, http://www.micrel.com/_PDF/qualrel/Micrel_Conflict_Minerals_Report_2014.pdf.
