QuickLogic Corporation
Conflict Minerals Report
For The Reporting Period from January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2025
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, 2025 to December 31, 2025 (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 our 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 company that develops embedded Field Programmable Gate Array ("eFPGA") hard intellectual property ("IP"), Strategic Radiation Hardened and Antifuse FPGAs, and ruggedized programmable logic solutions used in a range of applications requiring adaptable hardware functionality. Our technologies enable customers to incorporate programmable logic into custom semiconductor devices or deploy standalone programmable devices to implement system control, hardware acceleration, and other configurable functions.
Our primary offerings include eFPGA IP licensing, discrete FPGA devices, and related development tools and software. In certain cases, our licensing agreements may include royalty payments based on customer production volumes. Semiconductor companies license our eFPGA IP to integrate programmable logic blocks into their application-specific integrated circuits ("ASICs") and system-on-chips ("SoC") devices. Our discrete FPGAs enable customers to implement custom hardware functionality in applications requiring flexibility, low power consumption, and long product life cycles.
Our programmable logic technologies are used in a variety of markets, including aerospace and defense, industrial and infrastructure systems, data processing and computing platforms, and certain embedded and edge computing applications. The combination of programmable silicon technologies, software tools, and design resources enables customers to efficiently incorporate field-programmable hardware capabilities into both custom silicon and system-level products.
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.
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 2025. Only CMRTs 6.5 or higher were accepted. Responses were reviewed for completeness, reasonableness, and consistency, and we routinely followed up for any corrections and clarifications. During 2025, we contracted with Regilient.ai, a third-party vendor to coordinate the efforts of receiving and analyzing the CMRTs. Through Regilient.ai’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.
Based on our RCOI, QuickLogic knows or has reason to believe that a portion of its necessary conflict minerals originated or may have originated in the Covered Countries and knows or has reason to believe that those necessary conflict minerals may not be solely from recycled or scrap sources.
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:
|
a. |
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. |
|
b. |
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, Regilient.ai, 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 Regilient.ai 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.
In addition, an internal Conflict Minerals Program team, led by our Quality & Compliance function, is supported by representatives from Operations, Supply Chain, Legal, Finance, and Internal Audit, to provide cross-functional oversight of our conflict minerals compliance activities. |
|
c. |
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 Regilient.ai's database to further verify the smelter/refiners sourcing information.
Each facility that meets the RMI definition of a smelter or refiner of a Conflict Mineral is assessed according to red flag indicators defined in the OECD Framework. To determine the level of risk that each smelter poses to the supply chain, we assess the following criteria: geographic proximity to the Covered Countries, known mineral source country of origin, RMAP audit status, credible evidence of unethical or conflict sourcing, and peer assessments conducted by credible third-party sources. We have also incorporated vendor qualification requirements related to conflict minerals in our standard vendor qualification process so that current and future suppliers are obligated to participate in a supply chain survey and related due diligence activities.
We have also incorporated vendor qualification requirements related to conflict minerals in our standard vendor qualification process so that current and future suppliers are obligated to participate in a supply chain survey and related due diligence activities. |
|
d. |
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 evaluate direct suppliers on the strength of their internal Conflict Minerals programs as reflected in their CMRTs. When direct suppliers responded affirmatively to all four key CMRT questions—(i) whether they have established a conflict minerals sourcing policy, (ii) whether they have implemented due diligence measures for conflict-free sourcing, (iii) whether they review due diligence information received from their suppliers against company expectations, and (iv) whether their review process includes corrective action management—they are deemed to have a strong program. Suppliers that respond negatively to any one or more of these questions are flagged for follow-up.
We also require that our suppliers and contract manufacturers implement the Responsible Business Alliance's ("RBA") Code of Conduct, which includes an obligation to conduct due diligence regarding Conflict Minerals. |
|
e. |
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.
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. 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.
We compare the smelters and refiners identified by direct suppliers via the supply-chain survey against the list of smelter and refiner facilities which have received an RMAP Conformant designation as a result of an independent third party smelter audit conducted pursuant to RMI's RMAP. We also review other information provided by direct suppliers with respect to their investigations regarding smelters and refiners within their supply chain.
|
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 Regilient.ai platform and reviewed by the team.
We maintain an escalation plan in the event that we have to address non-responsive suppliers and/or to contact suppliers that provided incomplete or inaccurate supply chain information. We request direct suppliers to remove specific smelters or refiners from their supply chain that we deem to be high-risk.
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.
|
4. |
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 Regilient.ai and the Responsible Minerals Initiative.
We rely upon the published results of third-party audits, such as the RMAP, to validate the responsible sourcing practices of the smelters and other processing facilities in our supply chain.
|
5. |
Reporting on Supply Chain Due Diligence |
In 2026, 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 the date of this filing, 115 of the 119 unique smelters identified in our supply chain were in conformance with the standards as established by the Responsible Minerals Initiative’s RMAP. Three smelters were Non-Conformant and 1 was Not Applicable. The remaining smelters identified by our suppliers were not yet participating in the RMAP assessment.
As a result of due diligence efforts: (i) 115 out of 119 unique smelters identified were confirmed Conformant under the RMAP; (ii) 3 smelters identified in our supply chain are High Risk / Non-Conformant; (iii) for smelters where RMAP status could not be confirmed, the Company took risk mitigation steps including engaging only with major wafer and assembly vendors, informing vendors of our conflict minerals requirements, and asking suppliers that list non-certified smelters to avoid purchasing material from those smelters or to work with them to get those smelters certified.
Of the 3 Non-Conformant smelters, we took the risk mitigation steps discussed earlier in this Report. Two such smelters were used by only one of our suppliers and one such smelter was used by two of our suppliers.
The 119 smelters are as follows:

Risk Mitigation Measures
QuickLogic is taking or intends to continue to take the following steps to improve its due diligence during the next compliance period to further mitigate the risk that its necessary conflict minerals do not benefit armed groups in the Covered Countries:
|
- |
Increase the emphasis on clean and validated smelter and refiner information from our supply chain as the list of conflict-free smelters and refiners grows and more smelters and refiners declare their intent to enroll in the RMAP program; |
|
- |
Encourage our direct suppliers to have due diligence procedures in place for their supply chains to improve the content of responses and follow up with direct suppliers that appear to have gaps in their internal processes for conflict minerals; |
|
- |
Engage with our direct suppliers more closely and provide direct suppliers with more information and training resources regarding responsible sourcing of 3TG; |
|
- |
Request direct suppliers to remove specific smelters or refiners from their supply chain that we deem to be high-risk; |
|
- |
Engage any direct suppliers that we have reason to believe are supplying QuickLogic with 3TG from sources that may be considered red flag sources and encourage them to establish alternative sources of 3TG; |
|
- |
Encourage our direct suppliers to take these same steps with regard to their suppliers in our supply chain; and |
|
- |
Engage direct suppliers to encourage smelters or refiners in our supply chain, not yet certified/identified by the RMAP or an equivalent independent third-party audit, to undergo smelter audits and verify compliance. |
Future Steps
We have communicated our expectations, as reflected in our Conflict Minerals Policy, to our contract manufacturers and other suppliers. We have continued to engage with our Tier 1 suppliers to update their information on the source and chain of custody of conflict minerals in our supply chain and to require that all smelters utilized agree to participate in the Responsible Minerals Assurance Process or equivalent program.
