Section 1 - Conflict Minerals Disclosure

Item 1.01      Conflict Minerals Disclosure and Report

(b) Conflict Minerals Disclosure  

This Conflict Minerals Disclosure of Intersil Corporation (“Intersil”) is for the reporting period from January 1, 2013 through December 31, 2013 and is in accordance with Rule 13p-1 (“Rule 13p-1”) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “1934 Act”).  Please refer to Rule 13p-1, Form SD and the 1934 Act Release No. 34-67716 for definitions to the terms used in this Conflict Minerals Disclosure, unless otherwise defined herein.

Intersil evaluated its product portfolio and determined that certain products we manufacture or contract to manufacture contain either cassiterite, columbite-tantalite, wolframite, or gold, including their derivatives, which are limited to tin, tantalum, tungsten, and gold (collectively, “Conflict Minerals”) that are necessary to the functionality or production of those products. Accordingly, Intersil undertook a reasonable country of origin inquiry (“RCOI”) by distributing a   conflict mineral reporting template developed by the EICC/GeSI conflict-free sourcing initiative to our suppliers.  Templates were received from many suppliers that were properly completed, but some templates failed to fully identify the source of the Conflict Minerals, which then required outreach follow-up by Intersil.   We require our suppliers to either: (i) use smelters that are on the Conflict-Free Smelter Initiative conflict-free smelter lists found at http://www.conflictfreesourcing.org/conflict-free-smelter-refiner-lists/ , or (ii) use Conflict Minerals that came from recycled or scrap sources, or (iii) identify the name and physical location of the mine, or (iv) certify that the Conflict Minerals being provided to Intersil did not originate in the DRC Covered Countries.  Despite having conducted a good faith RCOI, Intersil has concluded that our supply chain remains “DRC conflict undeterminable” because we have been unable to determine the origin of all of the Conflict Minerals used in our products. 

A copy of Intersil’s Conflict Minerals Disclosure is publicly available at: http://ir.intersil.com under "Corporate Governance - Highlights".
