This is the Conflict Minerals Report (“Report”) of Cascade Microtech, Inc. (“CSCD”) for the year that ended December 31, 2014 pursuant to Rule 13p-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Rule”). The Rule requires CSCD to report on the source and origin of Conflict Minerals that are contained in the products CSCD manufactures or contracts to manufacture and that are necessary to the functionality or production of the products. “Conflict Minerals” are tantalum, tin, gold, and tungsten for the purposes of this Report. Under the Rule, if after a reasonable country of origin inquiry CSCD cannot determine that it has no reason to believe that some of the Conflict Minerals may have originated in the Democratic Republic of the Congo or an adjoining country (“Covered Country”) and are not from recycled or scrap sources, CSCD must exercise due diligence on the conflict minerals’ source and chain of custody and report on the results.
