<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 0 13.2pt">This report relates to products manufactured or contracted
to be manufactured by Albany International Corp., including its consolidated subsidiaries (collectively referred to herein as &ldquo;Albany&rdquo;),
during the calendar year ending December 31, 2016 for which 3TG<A HREF="#note_ftn1"><FONT STYLE="font-size: 6.5pt; color: blue"><U>1</U></FONT></A>
have been determined to be necessary to the functionality or production, in compliance with Rule 13p-1 under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 0 56.1pt; text-indent: -56.1pt">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 0 13.2pt">Albany is a global advanced textiles and materials processing
company that manages its global operations through two core divisions: Machine Clothing (&ldquo;MC&rdquo;) and Albany Engineered
Composites (&ldquo;AEC&rdquo;). Albany&rsquo;s MC division is a leading producer of custom-designed fabrics and belts essential
to production in the paper, nonwovens, and other process industries. Albany&rsquo;s AEC division is a rapidly growing supplier
of highly engineered composite parts for the aerospace and automotive industries.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 0 13.2pt; text-indent: 0.5in">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 0 13.2pt">Given the nature of its businesses, Albany is removed
from the mining of 3TG and does not have any direct relationships with smelters or refiners. Its 3TG inquiry, assessment, and analysis
therefore focused on an analysis of raw materials and components used in its products and the suppliers of those materials and
components.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 0 13.2pt; text-indent: 0.5in">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 0 13.2pt">Based on its analysis, Albany determined that there were
limited instances in which its AEC division sources from third-party suppliers certain metallic sub-components of its products
that could possibly contain 3TG.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 0 13.2pt; text-indent: 0.5in">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 0 13.2pt">As a result, AEC conducted a Reasonable Country of Origin
Inquiry (&ldquo;RCOI&rdquo;), which Albany believes was reasonably designed to determine whether any of the 3TG that might be contained
in its products originated in a Covered Country.<A HREF="#note_ftn2"><FONT STYLE="font-size: 6.5pt; color: blue"><U>2</U></FONT></A>
The RCOI consisted of contacting directly each of the potential suppliers of the relevant sub-components in order to (i) confirm
the presence or absence of 3TG in the sub-components supplied, and (ii) if the presence of 3TG was confirmed, make additional inquiries
regarding the origin of such minerals. Based on the results of the RCOI, Albany has no reason to believe that any of these 3TG
originated in a Covered Country.</P>
