Company together with its consolidated subsidiaries (collectively &#147;<B><I>CMC</I></B>&#148;) for the year ending December&nbsp;31, 2014. The report is offered in compliance with Section&nbsp;13(p) of Rule 13p-1 (the
&#147;<B><I>Rule</I></B><I>&#148;</I>) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Rule was adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission
to establish reporting and disclosure requirements in support of mandates under Section&nbsp;1502 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (the &#147;<B><I>Conflict Minerals Act</I></B>&#148;). </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">CMC manufactures, recycles and markets steel and metal products, related materials and services through a network including steel mills, commonly referred to
as &#147;minimills&#148;, steel fabrication and processing plants, construction-related product warehouses, metal recycling facilities and marketing and distribution offices in the United States and in strategic international markets. CMC&#146;s
core business is the manufacture and sale of steel products. CMC operates steel mills in the United States and Poland. CMC&#146;s vertical integration model is evident in supporting businesses, including a network of recycling facilities which
process and market post-consumer scrap materials, as well as an international marketing and distribution network engaged in the trade of steel and other products, including mineral-based materials used in metal production and in other industries.
</P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">CMC conducted a centrally coordinated product review to identify conflict minerals, as defined in Form SD, Section&nbsp;1, Item&nbsp;1.01(d)(3), which
exist in products manufactured by CMC or contracted for manufacture by CMC, and which are necessary to the functionality and production of those products. The review for the year ending December&nbsp;31, 2014 engaged procurement and product experts
across all product lines and business units. The review identified only tin and tantalum contained in tinplate, tantalum oxide, certain brass sheet, plate and rod, certain phosphor bronze rod and strip, and certain copper alloy tube as meeting the
criteria. With regard to products manufactured by CMC, it is our finding that any conflict minerals originated solely from scrap metal sources and are otherwise unnecessary to the functionality or production of the manufactured product. While some
residual amount of the derivatives of tin, tantalum or tungsten may be present in steel products manufactured by CMC, such conflict minerals come from scrap metal sources. Further, those conflict minerals are not necessary to the functionality or
production of the manufactured steel. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">With regard to products contracted for manufacture by CMC, it is CMC&#146;s finding that certain specialty products
acquired and re-sold by CMC during the subject period contained tin and tantalum necessary to their functionality and/or production. These products were tinplate, tantalum oxide, certain brass sheet, plate and rod, certain phosphor bronze rod and
strip, and certain copper alloy tube. Based on this finding, CMC proceeded with an origin assessment as described below. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><U>Reasonable Country of Origin
Inquiry </U></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">CMC conducted a reasonable country of origin inquiry (&#147;<B><I>RCOI</I></B>&#148;) with respect to those products containing tin and
tantalum necessary to their functionality and/or production. The RCOI was conducted in good faith and in full consideration of guidance contained in the Conflict Minerals Act Final Rule. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Specifically, CMC contacted suppliers and sources of tinplate, tantalum oxide, certain brass sheet, plate and rod, certain phosphor bronze rod and strip, and
certain copper alloy tube. CMC employed questionnaires specifically designed to determine whether the conflict minerals originated in the Democratic Republic of the Congo or an adjoining country (&#147;<B><I>Covered Countries</I></B><B>&#148;</B>)
and/or were obtained from recycled or scrap sources. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><U>Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry Conclusion </U></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">All respondents indicated that tin and tantalum contained in and necessary to the functionality and/or production of the identified products originated outside
of the Covered Countries and, in some instances, were from scrap material. CMC has evaluated the results of the RCOI in good faith and in consideration of guidance provided in the Conflict Minerals Act, and finds no reason to believe that conflict
minerals necessary to the functionality or production of products CMC manufactured or contracted to manufacture during the 2014 calendar year, originated in the Covered Countries. </P>
