<div style="display: block; margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt; text-align: left; text-indent: 0pt; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 10pt;">This Conflict Minerals Report (&#8220;CMR&#8221;) for the year ended December 31, 2014 is presented to comply with Rule 13p-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the &#8220;Rule&#8221;).&#160;&#160;The Rule was adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (&#8220;SEC&#8221;) to implement reporting and disclosure requirements related to conflict minerals as directed by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (the &#8220;Dodd-Frank Act&#8221;).&#160;&#160;The Rule imposes certain reporting obligations on SEC registrants whose manufactured products contain conflict minerals which are necessary to the functionality or production of their products.&#160;&#160;Conflict Minerals are defined as cassiterite, columbite-tantalite, gold, wolframite, and their derivatives which are limited to tin, tantalum, tungsten, and gold (&#8220;3TG&#8221; or &#8220;Conflict Minerals&#8221;).&#160;&#160;These requirements apply to registrants whatever the geographic origin of the Conflict Minerals and whether or not they fund armed conflict.</div>

<div style="display: block; margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt; text-align: left; text-indent: 0pt; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 10pt;">Our due diligence program has been designed to conform in all material respects with the framework in The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (&#8220;OECD&#8221;) Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict Affected and High Risk Areas and the related Supplements for gold and for tin, tantalum and tungsten (the &#8220;OECD Guidance&#8221;).&#160;&#160;Ball took the following steps in accordance with our due diligence program:</div>

<div style="display: block; margin-left: 72pt; margin-right: 0pt; text-align: left; text-indent: 0pt; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 10pt;">The Company has adopted and made public a conflict minerals policy.&#160;&#160;Our policy can be found at <font style="DISPLAY: inline; TEXT-DECORATION: underline">http://www.ball.com/images/ball_com/uploads/Ball_Conflict_Minerals_Policy.pdf</font>.&#160;&#160;This policy is made available to employees through an internal company portal, and is also disseminated to suppliers during our Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry (&#8220;RCOI&#8221;) process.&#160;&#160;In addition to our conflict minerals policy, Ball has a Ball Business Ethics Handbook (the &#8220;Handbook&#8221;), which outlines expected behaviors for all of our employees.&#160;&#160;The Handbook addresses Ball&#8217;s commitment to compliance with all laws applicable to the way we do business and social sustainability.</div>

<div style="display: block; margin-left: 72pt; margin-right: 0pt; text-align: left; text-indent: 0pt; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 10pt;">In order to strengthen engagement with suppliers as part of establishing management systems we have Supplier Guiding Principles, which are included as an exhibit to our form supplier agreements.&#160;&#160;These principles, among other things, state our expectation that our suppliers will maintain ethical business practices, including compliance with laws related to human rights. More specifically, in 2014 we continued inclusion of a Conflict Minerals certification as part of our form supplier agreements.&#160;&#160;Since many of our agreements are long-term contracts, it will take several years for existing agreements to expire and for the Conflict Minerals certification to be included in all supplier agreements.</div>

<div style="display: block; margin-left: 72pt; margin-right: 0pt; text-align: left; text-indent: 0pt; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 10pt;">We utilized the Conflict Free Sourcing Initiative&#8217;s (&#8220;CFSI&#8221;) conflict minerals reporting template (the &#8220;Reporting Template&#8221;) as a tool to collect information from upstream suppliers regarding the smelters and refiners from which Conflict Minerals in materials and/or components that are supplied to us are derived. We have also continued working toward increased engagement with our suppliers through follow-up with suppliers to improve response quality pursuant to our due diligence program, which includes steps to review responses.</div>

We will attempt to engage any of our suppliers found to be sourcing from the Covered Countries through non-certified smelters, so as to seek to establish an alternative source for Conflict Minerals.</div>

Fifteen-percent (15%) of the in-scope Packaging suppliers that were surveyed remain undeterminable due to incomplete responses (based on internally defined criteria).</div>
