Pursuant to
Rule 13p-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Rule”), this is the Conflict Minerals Report of Cascade Microtech, Inc. (“CSCD”) for the year that ended December 31, 2013. The Rule requires companies that register
with the SEC to report on the source and origin of conflict minerals that they “manufacture” or “contract to manufacture” that are “necessary to the functionality or production of a product.” “Conflict
Minerals” include tantalum, tin, gold, or tungsten; the derivatives of cassiterite, columbite-tantalite, and wolframite. Under the Rule, if a company is unable to declare their products to be conflict mineral free, the company must exercise due
diligence on the conflict minerals’ source and chain of custody.
