products include fuel pumps, metering units, actuators, air valves, specialty valves, fuel nozzles, and thrust reverser actuation systems for turbine engines and nacelles; as well as flight deck controls (auto throttles, rudder pedal assembles,
flight control assemblies), actuators, servocontrols, motors and sensors for aircraft. Within the energy market, our key focus areas are control solutions for equipment that produce electricity using conventional or renewable energy sources;
solutions for the control of power quality, distribution and storage on the electrical grid; and control solutions for power equipment used in the extraction, distribution and conversion of renewable and fossil fuels in marine, mobile, and
industrial equipment applications. Specific products include power converters, actuators, valves, pumps, injectors, solenoids, ignition systems, governors, electronics and devices that measure, communicate and protect low and medium voltage

accordance with Form SD and related guidance provided by the Securities and Exchange Commission (&#147;SEC&#148;). The Company also exercised due diligence on the source and chain of custody of the Subject Minerals. The Company&#146;s due diligence
measures have been designed to conform to the framework in the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development&#146;s framework, &#147;OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chain of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High Risk
Areas,&#148; Second Edition, including applicable supplements thereto (the &#147;OECD Guidelines&#148;). </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>RCOI </I></B></P>

Company and the original sources of conflict minerals. As a result, the Company relies on those suppliers receiving purchase orders or contracts directly from Woodward to provide information regarding the origin of any conflict minerals that are
included in our Products. In accordance with the OECD Guidelines and related guidance provided by the SEC, the Company works with such suppliers to identify, where possible, the smelters and refiners of the Subject Minerals. Prior to the Reporting
Period, we worked to identify suppliers that we believed could potentially provide materials containing Subject Minerals. </P>

attributes necessitating specific treatments. Specifically, direct suppliers are those that provide items or services directly used in items that Woodward manufactures or contracts to manufacture. The direct non-distribution suppliers fabricate
custom designed items to either Woodward specification or supplier-engineered specifications. The direct distribution suppliers are sources of items obtained from multiple Original Equipment Manufacturers (&#147;OEMs&#148;), typically in the nature
of a commercial item or item manufactured to standard government specifications. Direct distribution suppliers do not manufacture or contract to manufacture, nor do they influence the functionality or content of the items they obtain from OEMs and
provide to their customers. Woodward relies on the efforts and activities of professional societies such as IPC &#150; Association Connecting Electronics Industries, which provides a leading role in the conflict minerals efforts of the electronics
and electronics distribution industries, to establish and maintain the principal mechanisms for obtaining OEM distribution component conflict minerals status via our first tier distribution suppliers. Indirect suppliers are not included in the
Company&#146;s Conflicts Minerals reporting, as they contribute items or services only for Woodward&#146;s internal operations and infrastructure and are not incorporated into items that Woodward manufactures or contracts to manufacture.
&#147;Woodward Duarte suppliers&#148; are those serving Woodward&#146;s Duarte facility, which was acquired in December 2012 from General Electric. Conflicts Minerals&#146; due diligence with respect to the suppliers for the Duarte business was
processed separately as the result of the timing of the Duarte business&#146; integration into Woodward&#146;s operations. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As a result of this process,
we identified 2,477 direct non-distribution suppliers, 253 direct distribution suppliers and 327 Woodward Duarte suppliers (collectively, the &#147;Covered Suppliers&#148;) that we believed could potentially provide materials containing Subject
Minerals. On or about April&nbsp;9, 2013, we sent an initial letter, survey form and the Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition (&#147;EICC&#148;) and Global e-Sustainability Initiative (&#147;GeSI&#148;) Conflict Minerals (EICC-GeSI
Template&#148;), to each of the direct non-distribution suppliers that: (i)&nbsp;described the reporting obligations imposed by Form SD and the SEC regarding conflict minerals;&nbsp;and (ii)&nbsp;requested information regarding the presence and
sourcing of conflict minerals used in the products supplied to the Company during the Reporting Period. The same information and request were sent to Woodward Duarte suppliers on July&nbsp;8, 2013 and to direct distribution suppliers on
August&nbsp;22, 2013. Follow-up inquiries were sent to non-responsive suppliers in June 2013 (direct non-distribution suppliers only), January 2014 (all), February 2014 (all) and April 2014 (all). While Woodward monitored for and included new
suppliers in our inquiries through August 2013, we are working to implement a process to capture all new suppliers on an ongoing basis and have included improvement actions in the continuous improvement tasks listed below. We also engaged certain
Covered Suppliers, holding discussions and reviewing the results of their internal due diligence efforts, to ensure that they understood and complied with the responses to our inquiries regarding conflict minerals. </P>

Conflict minerals have also been a topic of discussion and review at Board of Directors meetings since September 2012. Woodward&#146;s Corporate Vice President of Global Supply Chain and Woodward&#146;s Chief Executive Officer approved and
implemented the Conflict Minerals Policy. The Conflict Minerals Policy was published in March 2013 and posted to the Social Responsibility page of Woodward&#146;s public web site, www.woodward.com. The Conflict Minerals Policy affirms that the
Company takes our corporate responsibility seriously and that it is the Company&#146;s goal only to use in our Products conflict minerals that are sourced responsibly. The Conflict Minerals Policy designates the Corporate Vice President of Global
Supply Chain as responsible for the implementation and the establishment of required responsible, accountable, consultative and information relationships and contacts within the Company to ensure our compliance with conflict minerals reporting

to a conference on Conflict Minerals on November&nbsp;14, 2012. Based on information gathered from that conference, in January 2013, Woodward assigned our Global Supply Chain (&#147;GSC&#148;) with the responsibility for conflict minerals
compliance. The GSC&#146;s Business Integration Group was designated the focal point for the compliance efforts, as that group has responsibility for Global Supply Chain business systems, procedures, and compliance with government regulations. A
conflict minerals compliance project manager was designated from the Audit and Compliance team within the GSC&#146;s Business Integration Group to lead and implement Woodward&#146;s detailed compliance activities and methods. The project manager,
with other members assigned from the GSC&#146;s Business Integration Group, with counsel from the Legal&nbsp;&amp; Compliance Department, are the Company&#146;s team of subject matter experts and implementers. The GSC is responsible for reaching out
to the Company&#146;s supply base on an ongoing basis to collect information, including EICC-GeSI Templates, regarding the presence and sourcing of conflict minerals in the products supplied to the Company. The Global Supplier Managers (commodity
managers) within the GSC have also provided focused support as required. These actions have aligned existing strategic and organizational structures to address the due diligence and reporting requirements of Form SD. </P>

conducting business in a socially responsible manner and is determined to partner with suppliers who are similarly committed. The Conflict Mineral Policy directs Woodward to take appropriate measures to ensure participants in our global supply chain
exercise due diligence and comply with reporting and other compliance requirements with respect to the items Woodward procures from them. Moreover, the Company&#146;s standard Purchase Order Terms and Conditions and Supplier Agreement Terms and
Conditions require that suppliers comply with various contract provisions, legal requirements and industrial standards under local, regional and national laws and regulations of the countries in which the suppliers conduct business. The Company,
through GSC, continually monitors the performance of the Company&#146;s suppliers, specifically in terms of Quality, Delivery, Responsiveness and Cost. The monitoring includes visits to supplier facilities when deemed appropriate. We continually
refine the alignment of our purchased parts requirements and purchased subsystem requirements to the capabilities and performance of our suppliers, while maintaining compliance with government regulations. As some Woodward business units have
significant business on U.S. Government projects, these regulations include the small business program defined in the Federal Acquisition Regulations (&#147;FAR&#148;), and the specialty metals requirements of the Defense Federal Acquisition
Regulations Supplement (&#147;DFARS&#148;). GSC integrates all of these government requirements into the Company&#146;s supply chain strategies, which are then executed by the business unit purchasing organizations. The Audit and Compliance function
within the GSC Business Integration Group reviews and oversees purchase orders and supplier agreements that have government regulation requirements. Through this process, the Company is able to remain engaged with our supply base from a quality and
compliance perspective. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Purchase Order and Supply Agreement Terms and Conditions</I><B><I> </I></B><I> </I></P>
