<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Ternium S.A. and its subsidiaries (&#147;Ternium&#148;) is a leading steel producer in Latin America. We manufacture and process a broad range of value-added
steel products, including galvanized and electro-galvanized sheets, pre-painted sheets, tinplate, welded pipes, hot-rolled flat products, cold-rolled products, bars and wire rods as well as slit and cut-to-length offerings through our service
centers. Our customers range from large global companies to small businesses operating in the construction, automotive, home appliances, capital goods, container, food and energy industries. Only an immaterial portion of Ternium&#146;s products
(representing less than 2% of our sales) contain or may contain conflict minerals. </P> <P STYLE="font-size:18pt;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt">&nbsp;</P>

within their supply chains to identify the original sources of the necessary conflict minerals. Such sources of information may yield inaccurate or incomplete information and may be subject to fraud. Another complicating factor is the unavailability
of country of origin and chain of custody information from our suppliers on a continuous, real-time basis. The supply chain of commodities such as conflict minerals is a multi-step process operating more or less on a daily basis, which involves
smelters, refiners, shippers, traders and distributors. Since we do not have direct contractual relationships with smelters and refiners, we rely on our direct suppliers to gather and provide specific information about the origin of any conflict
minerals (or products containing conflict minerals) supplied to us. We seek sourcing data on an annual basis from our direct suppliers, we ask that the data cover the entire reporting year, and we seek to use contract provisions requiring the
suppliers to promptly update us in the event that the sourcing data changes. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The information provided under this &#147;Conflict Minerals Disclosure&#148;
