 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Section&nbsp;1 &#150; Conflict Minerals Disclosure </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Item&nbsp;1.01 Conflict Minerals Disclosure </B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In accordance
with Section&nbsp;1502 of the Dodd-Frank Act, which amends the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 to add Section&nbsp;13(p), Nucor Corporation (&#147;Nucor&#148; or &#147;the Company&#148;) has completed its assessment process to determine whether
the products it manufactured during the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2014 contained conflict minerals that were necessary to the functionality or production of the products it manufactured. Please refer to Rule 13p-1 and Form SD for definitions of
the terms used in this disclosure, unless otherwise defined herein. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Company believes that a very small portion of the products it manufactured during
the reporting period contained conflict minerals that were necessary to the functionality or production of its products. However, based on its reasonable country of origin inquiry process, the Company has no reason to believe that the conflict
minerals may have originated in covered countries or that they did not come from recycled or scrap sources. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry
Process </I></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In order to determine if any of the Company&#146;s manufactured products contain conflict minerals and whether, for each product, those
minerals are necessary to the functionality or production of the manufactured product, Nucor developed a scoping process that utilized the expertise of employees at its individual manufacturing operations. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Each Nucor manufacturing operation completed a scoping document which listed the vendors used by that operation during 2014 and evaluated those vendors based
on a decision tree to determine which of them may have sold Nucor a product containing conflict minerals that were necessary to the functionality or production of the Company&#146;s manufactured products. The criteria within that decision tree was
based on interpretive guidance provided by the SEC in its final rule about when a conflict mineral is necessary to the functionality of a product or when it is necessary to the production of a product. All vendors that were identified from the
decision tree scoping process as having the potential to have sold Nucor necessary conflict minerals were then incorporated into its reasonable country of origin inquiry survey process. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Nucor conducted a survey of the scoped-in vendors using the Electronics Industry Citizenship Coalition and Global e-Sustainability Initiative (EICC/GeSI)
conflict minerals reporting template in order to determine whether the products sold to us actually contained conflict minerals and, if conflict minerals were present, the country of origin of those conflict minerals. The template was developed by
the EICC/GeSI as a means to collect vendor sourcing information related to conflict minerals. It includes questions regarding the origin of necessary conflict minerals included in a vendor&#146;s products or process, the implementation of due
diligence measures and conflict-free policies within the vendor&#146;s supply chain, a listing of smelters used by the vendor and its suppliers, among others. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">A small number of the survey responses from the scoped-in vendors indicated that conflict minerals may have been present in some portion of the products that
the vendor sold to Nucor. All of the vendors whose survey response included such an indication provided representations regarding the origin of those conflict minerals during the reasonable country of origin inquiry survey process, which included
representations that the conflict minerals either did not originate in covered countries or came from recycled or scrap sources. In addition, the Company is not aware of any information that the representations and information provided by such
vendors was not reliable or accurate. Therefore, the Company has no reason to believe that the conflict minerals which may have been necessary to the functionality or production of its products originated in covered countries or did not come from
recycled or scrap sources. </P>

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Recycled and Scrap Minerals </I></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Scrap metal and scrap substitutes are the most significant element in Nucor&#146;s total cost of steel production and the largest raw material inputs into its
finished steel products such as joist, decking and metal buildings. Scrap metal used by Nucor is sourced from post-industrial or post-consumer scrap, melted in electric arc furnaces and poured into continuous casting systems to produce new steel.
Nucor, through its wholly owned subsidiary the David J. Joseph Company and its affiliates, operates over 70 scrap recycling facilities and brokerage operations across the United States that serve as the primary source of scrap metal for Nucor&#146;s
steel mills. While such scrap metal may incidentally contain conflict minerals, they are not necessary to the functionality or production of the products manufactured utilizing the scrap. Further, we believe that the scrap meets the definition of
&#147;recycled and scrap sources&#148; under item IIE4ci of the final rule and is therefore exempt from further due diligence processes. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Other
Information </I></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">A copy of this conflict minerals disclosure is also available in the &#147;Investor Relations&#148; section, &#147;SEC Filings&#148;
subsection, of the Company&#146;s website at www.nucor.com. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:24pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman" ALIGN="center"><B>SIGNATURES </B></P>

authorized undersigned. </P> <P STYLE="font-size:12pt;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt">&nbsp;</P><DIV ALIGN="right">
