Conflict Minerals Report

For The Reporting Period from January 1, 2023 to December 31, 2023

Introduction

This Conflict Minerals Report (the “Report”) of QuickLogic Corporation (“QuickLogic”, “we”, “our”, or the “Company”) has been prepared pursuant to Rule 13p-1 and Form SD (the “Rule”) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, for the reporting period January 1, 2023 to December 31, 2023 (the "Reporting Period").

Rule 13p-1, through Form SD, requires the disclosure of certain information if a company manufactures or contracts to manufacture products for which certain "conflict minerals" (as defined below) are necessary to the functionality or production of such products. Form SD defines "conflict minerals" as: (i)(a) columbite-tantalite (or coltan, the metal ore from which tantalum is extracted), (b) cassiterite (the metal ore from which tin is extracted), (c) gold, and (d) wolframite (the metal ore from which tungsten is extracted), or their derivatives, which are currently limited to tantalum, tin, and tungsten; or (ii) any other mineral or its derivatives determined by the U.S. Secretary of State to be financing conflict in the Democratic Republic of the Congo or an "adjoining country," as such term is defined in Form SD (collectively, the "Covered Countries"). The “Covered Countries” for purposes of the Rule and this Report are the Democratic Republic of Congo (the “DRC”), the Republic of Congo, the Central African Republic, South Sudan, Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, Tanzania, Zambia and Angola.

Our operations may at times manufacture, or contract to manufacture, products for which conflict minerals are necessary to the functionality or production of those products (collectively, the "Covered Products"). As required by Form SD, we have conducted a good faith reasonable country of origin inquiry ("RCOI") regarding the conflict minerals included in its Covered Products during the Reporting Period to determine whether any such Conflict Minerals originated in the Covered Countries and/or whether any of the Conflict Minerals were from recycled or scrap sources. Where applicable, we have conducted additional due diligence regarding the sources of the Conflict Minerals. The results of our RCOI regarding the Conflict Minerals, as well as our additional due diligence regarding the sources of such Conflict Minerals, are contained in this Report, which is publicly available at http://ir.quicklogic.com. The reference to the Company's website is provided for convenience only, and its contents are not incorporated by reference into this Form SD, nor are they deemed "filed" with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Exchange Act or the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

Overview

QuickLogic Corporation is a fabless semiconductor provider of comprehensive, flexible sensor processing solutions, ultra-low power display bridges, and ultra-low power Field Programmable Gate Arrays. The Company enables Original Equipment Manufacturers ("OEMs") to maximize battery life for highly differentiated, immersive user experiences with Smartphone, Wearable, Hearable, Tablet, and Internet-of-Things or IoT hardware products, and Military, Aerospace, and Defense products. QuickLogic delivers these benefits through industry leading ultra-low power customer programmable System on Chip semiconductor solutions, embedded software, and algorithm solutions for always-on voice and sensor processing. The Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, SensiML Corp. ("SensiML"), provides Analytics Toolkit, which is used in many of the applications where the Company’s ArcticPro™, eFPGA intellectual property plays a critical role. SensiML Analytics toolkit is an end-to-end software suite that provides OEMs a straightforward process for developing pattern matching sensor algorithms using machine learning technology that are optimized for ultra-low power consumption.

The Company conducted an analysis of the products that it contracted to be manufactured during the Reporting Period and reasonably determined certain Conflict Minerals, primarily gold, tantalum, tin, and tungsten, are necessary to the functionality or production of the majority of its products.

Description of the Company’s Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry

As described in this Report, we have determined that the following Conflict Minerals, namely gold, tantalum, tin and tungsten, are necessary to the functionality or production of products contracted to be manufactured by us during the Reporting Period. As a result, we conducted in good faith a reasonable country of origin inquiry (“RCOI”) reasonably designed to determine if any of these Conflict Minerals originated in the Covered Countries and whether any of the Conflict Minerals may be from recycled or scrap sources, in accordance with Form SD and related guidance provided by the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Our supply chain is complex and there are many third parties in the supply chain between the ultimate manufacturer of the Covered Products and the original sources of Conflict Minerals. The Company does not directly purchase Conflict Minerals from mines, smelters or refiners. Therefore, the Company must rely on suppliers to provide information regarding the country of origin of Conflict Minerals that are included in the Covered Products. In designing our RCOI, we employed a combination of measures to determine whether the Conflict Minerals in our Covered Products originated from the Covered Countries and determined that the Company would survey each of its Tier 1 suppliers.

As such, our RCOI primarily consisted of utilizing the Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (“CMRT”) prepared by the Responsible Minerals Initiative ("RMI"), an initiative of the Responsible Business Alliance and Global e-Sustainability Initiative for Tier 1 suppliers of our devices in 2023. Only CMRT’s 6.31 or higher were accepted. Responses were reviewed for completeness, reasonableness and consistency, and we routinely followed up for any corrections and clarifications. During 2023, we contracted with Source 44 LLC dba Source Intelligence, a third-party vendor to coordinate the efforts of receiving and analyzing the CMRTs. Through Source Intelligence’s database, we received detailed information regarding the smelters/refiners and associated mine countries reported in our supply chain.

We submitted this template to four (4) Tier 1 suppliers and received a 100% response rate. Of these responding suppliers, 100% indicated one or more of the Conflict Minerals are necessary to the functionality or production of the products supplied.

Description of the Company’s Due Diligence Process

Based on this information, we performed additional due diligence on the source and chain of custody of these Conflict Minerals. The Company's due diligence measures have been designed to conform to the framework in the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chain of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High Risk Areas: Second Edition, including the related supplements on gold, tin, tantalum and tungsten (the "OECD Guidance"). The OECD Guidance is an internationally recognized due diligence framework.

In accordance with the five-step OECD Guidance, the design of our due diligence includes, but is not limited to, the following five steps: (i) establishment of strong company management systems, (ii) identification and assessment of risks in the supply chain, (iii) designing and implementing a strategy to respond to identified risks, (iv) carrying out an independent third-party audit of smelter/refiner’s due diligence practices and (v) reporting on supply chain due diligence. A description of certain activities undertaken by us in respect of each of the five steps of the OECD Guidance is described below.

1.	Establishment of Strong Company Management Systems

We have completed a number of steps to establish a management system for addressing the sourcing of Conflict Minerals in our Covered Products. These actions include:

Adopt and Commit to a Supply Chain Policy for Conflict Minerals: Our Conflict Minerals Policy is available at https://www.quicklogic.com/support/conflict-minerals-policy/. Our Policy underscores the Company’s commitment to ethical business conduct and the responsible sourcing of minerals and to working with our suppliers to ensure compliance with SEC regulations.

Our Policy notes the Company’s support of the industry-wide efforts the Responsible Business Alliance and Global e-Sustainability Initiative are making to address responsible sourcing of minerals through the development of the Responsible Minerals Initiative. Our policy discusses the Company’s adoption and use of the industry-standard CMRT created by the Responsible Business Alliance and Global e-Sustainability Initiative to collect sourcing information related to conflict minerals as an element of our reasonable country of origin inquiry to verify the responsible sourcing of materials and to support compliance with SEC regulations. Listed below under the Findings are the results of the sourcing of minerals provided by the Tier 1 suppliers.

Internal Management to Support Supply Chain Due Diligence: Our Vice President of Operations participates in the design and execution of our conflict minerals program and cooperates to manage and support our supply chain due diligence. The VP of Operations identified the suppliers to be contacted and adopted and approved for use the Reporting Template discussed above. The VP of Operations interacts directly with our suppliers and third party, Source Intelligence, to obtain updated and current Reporting Templates and analyzes the information provided on the sourcing of the conflict minerals used in the manufacture of the Covered Products. Each response is reviewed to identify missing information and unclear responses. The VP of Operations meets regularly with Source Intelligence to discuss the results of the due diligence efforts and appropriate follow-up measures to be taken with our suppliers. The Vice President of Operations reports on the status of the Company’s supply chain due diligence at regularly scheduled meetings of the Company’s Board of Directors.

Controls and Transparency to Support Supply Chain Diligence: We use the CMRT to identify the smelters and refiners that are in the supply chain of each of our suppliers. We review and compare this list to the list of smelters and refiners identified by the Responsible Minerals Initiative to be eligible, active, or conformant in its Responsible Minerals Assurance Process ("RMAP"). This enables us to identify the smelters and refiners that have been determined to be in conformance with the applicable RMI standards and those that are currently undergoing assessment or are eligible for assessment as a part of the RMI's RMAP. We use Source Intelligence's database to further verify the smelter/refiners sourcing information. We have determined that this approach represents the most reasonable effort we can make to determine whether the minerals used in the production of our Covered Products are conflict-free.

Supplier Engagement: We are dependent upon our suppliers to manufacture the Covered Products. We continue to work with our suppliers to support their efforts to identify the sources and status of the Conflict Minerals used in our Covered Products and to encourage each smelter and refiner in our supply chain to undergo RMAP assessment or continue previously established conformance with RMI standards. We continue to actively engage with our suppliers to strengthen our relationship with them and we have communicated to them our commitment to sourcing Conflict Minerals in a manner that does not benefit armed groups in the Covered Countries.

Grievance Mechanism: We have grievance mechanisms in place that enable employees and suppliers to report violations of the Company’s policies. We have a compliance hotline which is operated by an independent company that may be called at any time to report grievances and invite individuals with grievances to bring these matters to the attention of the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors by written correspondence on a confidential basis. We also employ an email address by which matters may be brought at any time to the attention of the VP of Operations by sending an email to conflictminerals@quicklogic.com.

2.	Identification and Assessment of Risks in the Supply Chain

Because of our position within our supply chain, it is difficult to identify actors upstream from our Tier 1 suppliers. As discussed above, we identified Tier 1 suppliers and we have relied upon them to provide us with the necessary information about the source of Conflict Minerals contained in the products they manufacture on our behalf. Our suppliers are similarly reliant upon information provided by their suppliers to provide information regarding the country of origin of Conflict Minerals that are included in the Covered Products.

We request each of them to complete the CMRT and review the sourcing information provided in response to our requests for accuracy and completeness. In the event we find the responses to the Reporting Template unclear or incomplete, we contact the supplier in question for additional information and clarification. In some cases, we may contact the smelter or refiner directly to obtain information. We intend to contact each of our suppliers at least once per year to check on the status of their continuing due diligence and to obtain updated information. We record all information obtained from the CMRT to identify the smelters and refiners in our supply chain. The list of the smelters and refiners in our supply chain are verified against the lists compiled by the Responsible Minerals Initiative, TI-CMC, LBMA and RJC to determine which smelters and refiners have been determined to be compliant with the Responsible Minerals Assurance Process assessment protocols and certifications.

3.	Designing and Implementing a Strategy to Respond to Identified Risks

In response to this risk assessment, the Company has an approved risk management plan which is implemented, managed, and monitored by the Vice President of Operations under the oversight of our Board of Directors. Any identified potential risks or quality control flags raised during the evaluation of supplier responses are noted on the Source Intelligence platform and reviewed by the team. We support the continued efforts of the Responsible Minerals Initiative to complete the audits of smelters that have agreed to date to participate in the Responsible Minerals Assurance Process and to encourage other identified smelters to become participants.

As a continuing part of our risk management plan, we have communicated our commitment to the use of conflict-free minerals in the manufacture of our Covered Products and our expectation that the manufacture of our Covered Products will be conflict-free.

Carrying Out Independent Third-Party Audit of Supply Chain Due Diligence at Identified Points in the Supply Chain

We do not have a direct business relationship with any smelters or refiners in our supply chain and, as a result, we do not directly conduct or request audits. Instead, we support the development and implementation of independent third-party audits of smelters by encouraging our suppliers to purchase materials from smelters in conformance with RMI standards and determine whether the smelters that were used to process these minerals were validated as in conformance with RMI standards as part of the Responsible Minerals Assurance Process. We monitor smelters' or refiners' conformance status with Source Intelligence and the Responsible Minerals Initiative.

Reporting on Supply Chain Due Diligence

In 2024, we publicly filed the Form SD and this Report with the SEC, and a copy of this Report and the Form SD are publicly available at http://ir.quicklogic.com.

This Report includes information about the RCOI methodology utilized by the Company, the design of our due diligence process in conformance with the OECD Guidelines, and the list of known smelters utilized in our supply chain identified in our due diligence process.

Findings

Based on the information that was provided by the Company’s Tier 1 suppliers and otherwise obtained through the due diligence process, the Company believes that, to the extent reasonably determinable by the Company, the facilities that were used to process the Conflict Minerals contained in the Covered Products include the smelters and refiners listed below. As of June 14, 2024, 217 of the 219 smelters below were in conformance with the standards as established by the Responsible Minerals Initiative’s RMAP. The remaining two smelters are currently undergoing the RMAP assessment. There is an indication of DRC-sourcing for 33 smelters/refiners used.
