EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
 
This Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement on Form S-8 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 26, 2006, File No. 333-137585 (the “Registration Statement”), is being filed by Himax Technologies, Inc. (the “Registrant”), to deregister certain ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share of the Registrant, as further changed to par value of $0.3 per share of the Registrant since August 10, 2009 (“Ordinary Shares”), that were originally registered under the Registration Statement for issuance under the Himax Technologies, Inc. 2005 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2005 Incentive Plan”).
 
A total of 16,752,312 Ordinary Shares were initially registered for issuance under the 2005 Incentive Plan.  A total of 10,847,626 Ordinary Shares were actually issued pursuant to awards of restricted share units granted under the 2005 Incentive Plan, all of which have vested as of the date hereof. Accordingly, 5,904,686 Ordinary Shares remain available but not actually issued pursuant to the 2005 Incentive Plan (the “Unused Shares”). The Registration Statement is hereby amended to deregister the Unused Shares that were previously registered but are neither issued nor subject to outstanding awards granted under the 2005 Incentive Plan as of the date hereof. No further awards will be made under the 2005 Incentive Plan.
