<P STYLE="font: 12pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0"><FONT STYLE="font-size: 10pt">RBC Bearings Incorporated (the &ldquo;Company&rdquo;)
determined that certain conflict minerals, namely tin, tantalum and tungsten, are necessary to the functionality or production of certain
products manufactured, or contracted to be manufactured, by the Company and are required to be reported in the 2022 calendar year covered
by this specialized disclosure report. The Company conducted in good faith a reasonable country of origin inquiry regarding those conflict
minerals that was reasonably designed to determine whether any of the conflict minerals originated in the Democratic Republic of the
Congo or included adjoining countries, or are from recycled or scrap sources.</FONT></P>

Company&rsquo;s reasonable country of origin inquiry was based on the <FONT STYLE="color: #111111">OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible
Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas. </FONT>The Company made inquiry to all necessary purchasing and
product engineering personnel at all its divisions and subsidiaries worldwide to review material content data forms, product and component
engineering specifications, bills of materials, product part codes, material certifications received and published industry material
specifications to determine the metal composition of products and product components that were being manufactured or contracted to be
manufactured by the Company as well identification of vendor information.</FONT></P>

not utilize gold in any of the products it manufactured or contracted to be manufactured. Raw materials and components containing tin,

for purchases of such raw materials or components containing these metals and utilized in products manufactured or contracted to be manufactured
by the Company.</FONT></P>

reporting template, a standardized reporting template developed by the RMI, an initiative of the Responsible Business Alliance and the
Global e-Sustainability Initiative, which facilitates the transfer of relevant and necessary information through the supply chain regarding
mineral country of origin and smelters and refiners being utilized.</FONT></P>
