is filed pursuant to Rule 13p-1 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the &#8220;Rule&#8221;), for the reporting
period January 1, 2022 to December&nbsp;31,&nbsp;2022. Rule 13p-1 requires disclosure of certain information when a company manufactures
or contracts to manufacture products for which the minerals specified in the Rule are necessary to the functionality or production of
those products. The specified minerals are defined as cassiterite, columbite-tantalite, and wolframite and their derivatives which are
limited to tin, tantalum and tungsten, and gold (the &#8220;Conflict Minerals&#8221;). The &#8220;Covered Countries&#8221; for purposes
of the Rule are the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the Republic of the Congo, the Central African Republic, South Sudan, Uganda, Rwanda,
Burundi, Tanzania, Zambia and Angola.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.25in">Steel Dynamics, Inc. is one of the largest domestic
steel producers and metals recyclers in the United States, based on estimated steelmaking and coating capacity of approximately 16 million
tons and actual metals recycling volumes, with one of the most diversified product and end market portfolios in the domestic steel industry,
combined with meaningful downstream steel fabrication operations. Our primary sources of revenue are from the manufacture and sale of
steel products, the processing and sale of recycled ferrous and nonferrous metals, and the fabrication and sale of steel joists and deck
products.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.25in">Our internal and supply chain assessment yielded
no Conflict Minerals contained on and/or within, and necessary to, the functionality of products we manufacture and sell. Our metals
recycling operations acquire and process post-industrial and post-consumer scrap or recycled metals that on occasion may contain any
of the Conflict Minerals.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.25in">Due to the fact that our internal and supply
chain assessment yielded no Conflict Minerals contained on and/or within, and necessary to, the functionality of products we manufacture
and sell, the company was not required by the Rule to conduct a good faith reasonable country of origin inquiry regarding identified
Conflict Minerals. Conflict Minerals acquired and processed by our metals recycling operations are all from recycled or scrap sources,
and thus, as defined in Rule 13p-1, are considered Conflict Free.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.25in">Although not required by the Rule, the company
voluntarily conducted a reasonable country of origin inquiry for calendar year 2022, which was completed in conjunction with internal
assessment teams at each of our subsidiaries and/or divisions. These internal assessment teams consisted of persons in a position to
know and understand the material inputs and processes utilized in the manufacture of our products, including the location&#8217;s General
Manager (or their equivalent), and as appropriate, personnel in purchasing, metallurgy, quality control, engineering, and other areas.
The internal assessment teams identified the raw materials that are introduced and/or contained in, or on, our manufactured products
that are necessary to the functionality or production of said products, and assessed if they may contain Conflict Minerals. We identified
the vendors of any such raw materials and requested vendor certifications, in the form of the Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (CMRT)
developed by the Conflict Free Sourcing Initiative (CFSI), an initiative of the Electronic Industry Citizens Coalition (EICC) and Global
e-Sustainability Initiative (GeSI), concerning the absence or possible presence of Conflict Minerals in the products they supplied to
us. If any Conflict Minerals were noted (of which none were), vendors were requested to indicate whether such Conflict Minerals originated
from a Covered Country, or from a recycler or scrap supplier. All vendor certifications were thoroughly analyzed, including the absence
or existence of Conflict Minerals, and if present (of which none were), country of origin information, smelter information, and whether
it came from recycled or scrap sources. This subsidiary and/or division level information was accumulated and summarized to determine
whether further due diligence procedures were necessary, and to determine the applicable Form SD reporting requirements. No further due
diligence procedures were required.</P>
