<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.5in">Charles River Laboratories International,
Inc., is including this Conflict Minerals Report (&ldquo;<B>Report</B>&rdquo;) as an exhibit to its Form SD for the year ended
December 27, 2014 as required by Rule 13p-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Form SD (collectively, the
&ldquo;<B>Conflict Minerals Rule</B>&rdquo;).</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.5in">If a Securities and Exchange Commission
(&ldquo;<B>SEC</B>&rdquo;) registrant manufactures or contracts to manufacture products containing cassiterite (tin), columbite-tantalite
(tantalum), gold and wolframite (tungsten) (collectively, &ldquo;<B>Conflict Minerals</B>&rdquo;), and the Conflict Minerals are
necessary to such product&rsquo;s functionality or production, the Conflict Minerals Rule requires that the registrant undertake
a reasonable country of origin inquiry. If, as a result of the reasonable country of origin inquiry, the registrant knows or has
reason to believe that any Conflict Minerals originated in the Democratic Republic of Congo or an adjoining country as defined
in the Conflict Minerals Rule (the &ldquo;<B>Covered Countries</B>&rdquo;), and are not from recycled or scrap sources, the registrant
must exercise due diligence on the source and chain of custody of such minerals.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.5in">We are a full service, early-stage contract
research organization. We have built upon our core competency of laboratory animal medicine and science (research model technologies)
to develop a diverse portfolio of discovery and safety assessment services, both Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) and non-GLP, which
are able to support our clients from target identification through preclinical development. Through our Manufacturing segment,
we also help ensure the safe production and release of products manufactured by our clients.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.5in">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.5in">This Report relates to our products for
which: (i) Conflict Minerals are necessary to the functionality or production; (ii) that we contracted to manufacture; and (iii)
for which the manufacturing was completed during the fiscal year ended December 27, 2014.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.5in">Our Endotoxin and Microbial Detection (&ldquo;<B>EMD</B>&rdquo;)
business, part of our Manufacturing segment, provides non-animal, or <I>in vitro,</I> methods for lot release testing of medical
devices and injectable drugs for endotoxin contamination. We contract to manufacture for sale to third parties two (2) products
that contain electronic components that contain Conflict Minerals. The &ldquo;Endosafe&reg;-PTS&trade; Portable Test System&rdquo;
(the &ldquo;<B>PTS</B>&rdquo;) is a rapid, point-of-use test system that is comprised of a test cartridge along with a hand-held
spectrophotometer. The &ldquo;Endosafe&reg;-MCS&trade; Multi-Cartridge System&rdquo; (the &ldquo;<B>MCS</B>&rdquo; and collectively
with the PTS, the &ldquo;<B>Endosafe</B> <B>Products</B>&rdquo;) combines five (5) PTS devices (excluding the display, keypad and
battery) into a small bench-top test system that connects to a desktop computer with a single USB connector.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.5in">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.5in">We conducted a good faith reasonable country
of origin inquiry (&ldquo;<B>RCOI</B>&rdquo;), including due diligence procedures outlined below, regarding the Conflict Minerals
necessary to our Endosafe Products&rsquo; functionality or production. As the initial step in the RCOI process, we reviewed parts
and materials used in the manufacturing of our Endosafe Products to identify which may include Conflict Minerals. Those parts and
materials identified that may include Conflict Minerals necessary to the functionality or production of the relevant product were
then traced back to the direct supplier, or suppliers, from which we purchased the applicable parts or materials. Our RCOI was
reasonably designed to determine whether such Conflict Minerals originated in the Covered Countries or came from scrap or recycled
sources.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.5in">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.5in">Our supply chain with respect to the Endosafe
Products is complex, and we do not purchase Conflict Minerals directly from smelters, mines or refiners. We purchase parts and
materials directly, or contract with others to manufacture parts, from a large number of suppliers. In most cases, there are multiple
layers of third parties in the supply chain between us and the ultimate upstream source of the Conflict Minerals. We therefore
requested our direct suppliers to provide information regarding the source and chain of custody of Conflict Minerals included in
the Endosafe Products.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.5in">Our inquiries did not always reveal definitive
answers. We identified 21 suppliers of products that contain Conflict Minerals. We contacted all of these suppliers. However, as
of the date of this Report, we have not received responses from three of the suppliers. Even though we sent follow-up emails and
made phone calls to prompt them to provide complete responses.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.5in">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.5in">Nine of the 21 suppliers reported to us
that the source of the Conflict Minerals was unknown. Eight of the 21 suppliers reported to us that a Conflict Mineral did originate
from a Covered Country but was sourced from conflict-free smelters. In other cases, the responses we received were only partially
complete or did not provide sufficient detail to allow us to trace potential Conflict Mineral smelters/refiners back to one of
our Endosafe Products. All of our suppliers confirmed use of Conflict Minerals at a company level, but not at the product level.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.5in">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.5in">Given the breadth and complexity of our
Endosafe Products and supply chain, and the responses received to date in our RCOI process, we could not determine that our supply
chain was not sourcing Conflict Minerals from one or more of the Covered Countries. For this reason, and because we expect our
RCOI process to be on-going, we have designed and implemented the due diligence process set forth below.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.5in">For our due diligence, we utilized the Organization
for Economic Co-operation and Development&rsquo;s Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected
and High-Risk Areas, including the Supplement on Tin, Tantalum and Tungsten and the Supplement on Gold (Second Edition, 2013) (the
&ldquo;<B>OECD Guidance</B>&rdquo;). The OECD Guidance was written for both upstream and downstream companies. Since we are a downstream
company in the supply chain, our due diligence practices were developed accordingly.</P>
