<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=2 face="Times New Roman">This Conflict Minerals Report (this &#8220;Report&#8221;) of The Clorox Company (the &#8220;Company&#8221; or &#8220;Clorox&#8221;) has been prepared pursuant to Rule 13p-1 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (&#8220;Rule 13p-1&#8221;), for the reporting period from January 1, 2018, to December 31, 2018.</FONT></P>
<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=2 face="Times New Roman">Rule 13p-1 requires disclosure of certain information when a company manufactures or contracts to manufacture products for which the minerals specified in Rule 13p-1 are necessary to the functionality or production of those products. The specified minerals at this time are columbite-tantalite (coltan), cassiterite, gold, and wolframite, including their derivatives, which are limited to tantalum, tin, and tungsten (the &#8220;Covered Minerals&#8221;). The &#8220;Covered Countries&#8221; for the purposes of Rule 13p-1 and this Report are the Democratic Republic of the Congo and countries that share an internationally recognized border with the Democratic Republic of the Congo (the Republic of the Congo, the Central African Republic, South Sudan, Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, Tanzania, Zambia and Angola).</FONT></P>
<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><B><I><FONT size=2 face="Times New Roman">Overview</FONT></I></B></P>
<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=2 face="Times New Roman">Clorox is a leading multinational manufacturer and marketer of consumer and professional products with approximately 8,700 employees worldwide. Clorox sells its products primarily through mass retailers, grocery outlets, warehouse clubs, dollars stores, home hardware centers, e-commerce channels, military stores and distributors. Clorox markets some of the most trusted and recognized consumer brand names, including its namesake bleach and cleaning products, Pine-Sol&#174; cleaners, Liquid-Plumr&#174; clog removers, Poett&#174; home care products, Fresh Step&#174; cat litter, Glad&#174; bags, wraps and container products, Kingsford&#174; charcoal, Hidden Valley&#174; dressings, Brita&#174; water-filtration products, Burt&#8217;s Bees&#174; natural personal care products, Renew Life&#174; digestive health products and Rainbow Light&#174;, Natural Vitality&#174; and Neocell&#174; dietary supplements.

The Company has operations in more than 25 countries or territories and sells its products in more than 100 markets.</FONT></P>
<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=2 face="Times New Roman">Very few of the Company&#8217;s products, whether the Company manufactures them or contracts for their manufacture, contain Covered Minerals that are necessary to the functionality or production of those products. The products that the Company manufactures or contracts to manufacture that contain Covered Minerals are certain of its laundry additives and personal care products.</FONT></P>
<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><B><I><FONT size=2 face="Times New Roman">Description of Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry</FONT></I></B></P>
<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=2 face="Times New Roman">The Company has designed and conducted a good faith reasonable country of origin inquiry to determine whether any of the Covered Minerals contained in its products originated in a Covered Country or whether they are from recycled or scrap sources. The Company designed its reasonable country of origin inquiry based on the due diligence framework set forth in the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development&#8217;s Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas. The Company&#8217;s reasonable country of origin inquiry is described below.</FONT></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><I><FONT size=2 face="Times New Roman">Governance and Management Systems</FONT></I></P>
<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=2 face="Times New Roman">The Company maintains standards for its suppliers, which are set forth in its Business Partner Code of Conduct (the &#8220;Business Partner Code&#8221;) and can be found at https://www.thecloroxcompany.com/who-we-are/corporate-governance/codes-of-conduct/. The Business Partner Code requires the Company&#8217;s suppliers to implement programs to ensure that products do not contain restricted, banned, or unlawfully taken or traded materials, to disclose to the Company the supplier&#8217;s due diligence efforts to determine whether its supply chain is free of minerals or materials that finance conflict in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and surrounding countries, or from other countries designated as part of a conflict region, and to provide relevant documentation to the Company upon its request.</FONT></P>
<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=2 face="Times New Roman">In conducting its good faith reasonable country of origin inquiry, the Company used a cross-functional team and designated a single Company contact to coordinate and communicate with its suppliers. The Company also has internal management and record-keeping systems for its Covered Minerals inquiries to facilitate the review and assessment of the supplier responses.</FONT></P>
<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><I><FONT size=2 face="Times New Roman">Risk Assessment</FONT></I></P>
<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=2 face="Times New Roman">The Company&#8217;s preliminary risk assessment included a survey of all purchased raw materials, contract manufacturing arrangements, licensees and joint ventures to identify materials and products with a risk of containing Covered Minerals that are necessary to their functionality. After identifying the categories of products that might contain Covered Minerals, the Company sent questionnaires to the suppliers in these product categories.</FONT></P>
<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=2 face="Times New Roman">This questionnaire was based on a form created by the Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition and the Global e-Sustainability Initiative. The Company&#8217;s survey included questions relating to:</FONT></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=2 face="Times New Roman">A very small number of suppliers of materials used in certain of the Company&#8217;s laundry additives and <font style="background-color: transparent;" class="wo2">personal care</font> products responded that the materials they sold to the Company in calendar year 2018 contained Covered Minerals. Of these suppliers, one supplier indicated that it had acquired from its sub-tier supplier (the &#8220;Reporting Sub-tier Supplier&#8221;) components that may have contained Covered Minerals sourced from the Covered Countries and that were not 100% derived from scrap or recycled sources. All of the other suppliers that responded that they had sold supplies to the Company that contained Covered Minerals were able to confirm, with supporting documentation and/or explanation, that such Covered Minerals did not originate from the Covered Countries or were derived entirely from recycled or scrap sources. To further test and assess these results, the Company conducted due diligence by following up via email and/or telephone calls with these suppliers to obtain additional information. All of the other suppliers that responded to the questionnaires advised the Company that the materials or products they sold to the Company did not contain Covered Minerals.</FONT></P>
<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=2 face="Times New Roman">The Reporting Sub-tier Supplier provided to the Company&#8217;s supplier a completed Conflict Free Sourcing Initiative&#8217;s Conflict Minerals Reporting Template, which the supplier provided to and discussed with the Company. The Conflict Free Sourcing Initiative&#8217;s Conflict Minerals Reporting Template completed by the Reporting Sub-tier Supplier indicated that the Reporting Sub-tier Supplier was able to identify 100% of the smelters that provided the Covered Mineral that the Reporting Sub-tier Supplier used to manufacture a laundry additive that contained a Covered Mineral that the Reporting Sub-tier Supplier sold to the Company&#8217;s supplier for its further sale to the Company, and that the Reporting Sub-tier Supplier had determined that one smelter from which a portion of the Reporting Sub-tier Supplier obtained the Covered Mineral (Malaysia Smelting Corporation (MSC) CID001105) may have acquired tin from the Covered Countries. The Company determined that the aforementioned smelter is listed on the Conflict Free Sourcing Initiative&#8217;s &#8220;compliant smelter&#8221; list.</FONT></P>

It will review the adequacy of its due diligence measures to assess the source and chain of custody and work with its suppliers to increase the transparency of their supply chain. In this regard, the Company expects to continue to engage with its suppliers to obtain current, accurate and complete information about their supply chain and to evaluate the Company&#8217;s due diligence measures to identify more efficient and effective means to obtain current, accurate and complete information about its supply chain.</FONT></P>
