Item 2.05         Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities

On June 8, 2007, Rogers Corporation (the Company) committed to a plan to
restructure its Custom Electrical Components reporting segment workforce and
reduce other related costs. The plan calls for a significant employee reduction
associated with shifting electroluminescent (EL) lamp production to its China
facility, as a result of accelerated program terminations in the portable
communications market and a reduced outlook for the future market demand for the
Company's keypad backlight lamps. The Company is currently assessing the impact
of the related severance costs in accordance with Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit
or Disposal Activities, and SFAS No. 112, Employers' Accounting for
Postretirement Benefits, and will provide this information when it is able to
make a determination of such estimate or range of estimates.

A copy of the press release issued by the Company on June 13, 2007 announcing
the restructuring is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 8-K and is incorporate
herein by reference.

Item 2.06         Material Impairments

Also as a result of the plan discussed above, on June 8, 2007 the Company
determined that it currently expects to take a non-cash impairment charge in the
second quarter of 2007 related to the write-down of certain assets within the
Company's Custom Electrical Components reporting segment, specifically related
to the Durel Division. These assets currently have a book value of approximately
$24 million, and are comprised of land, a building, equipment, unamortized
technology licenses, and inventory. The Company, with the assistance of an
independent third party valuation specialist, is currently performing a complete
valuation analysis on these assets in accordance with SFAS No. 144, Accounting
for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, and will provide this
information when it is able to make a determination of such estimate or range of
estimates of the impairment charge.

It is not anticipated that the impairment charge will result in future cash
expenditures by the Company.

A copy of the press release issued by the Company on June 13, 2007 announcing
the expected impairment charge is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 8-K and is
incorporated herein by reference.

        Rogers Corporation Announces Divisional Restructuring


    ROGERS, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 13, 2007--Rogers Corporation
(NYSE:ROG) today announced a plan to restructure its Custom Electrical
Components reporting segment workforce and reduce other related costs.
As previously announced in the Company's May 2, 2007, press release,
program terminations in the portable communications market related to
Custom Electrical Component products accelerated at a pace greater
than expected in the first quarter. This effect, in combination with a
reduced outlook for future market demand for the Company's keypad
backlight lamps, will result in a significant employee reduction and
may cause impairment of related assets associated with such
operations.

    The Custom Electrical Components segment sales, which includes the
Durel Division's electroluminescent (EL) products as well as power
distribution component products, consisted of approximately 33% of
overall Company revenues in 2006. The Company's Durel Division
manufactures EL lamps and designs semiconductor inverter chips for
powering EL lamps. The majority of Durel's sales are for applications
that backlight keypads in thin form factor cell phones.

    Although Rogers sells EL products to all the major cell phone
manufacturers, the current outlook for existing and future programs
has changed from previous expectations. Based on the significant
reduction in the sales forecast, the Company has initiated plans to
shift additional production to its China facility, which is currently
operating below capacity, and significantly reduce the overhead and
support functions in Durel's U.S. facility. As a result, it was
determined that these factors qualify as indicators of impairment
under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and that assets
associated with this operating unit may require impairment charges,
which could affect the Company's second quarter 2007 GAAP earnings.
These assets currently have book value of approximately $24 million,
and are comprised of land, a building, equipment, unamortized
technology licenses, and inventory. The amount of any impairment
charge will not be known until the Company completes a full assessment
with the assistance of an independent third-party valuation
specialist. The Company will disclose the results of the assessment as
soon as practical including any such impairment amount or range.

    Robert D. Wachob, Rogers' President and CEO, commented, "Although
the success of our keypad backlighting lamp products in the past three
years is an achievement we are quite proud of, given the current
outlook of reduced future demand, it is necessary for us to streamline
this business."

    Rogers Corporation, headquartered in Rogers, CT, U.S.A., develops
and manufactures high-performance specialty materials, which serve a
diverse range of markets including: portable communication devices,
communication infrastructure, consumer products, computer and office
equipment, ground transportation, and aerospace and defense. Rogers
operates manufacturing facilities in Connecticut, Arizona, and
Illinois in the U.S., in Gent, Belgium, in Suzhou, China, and in
Hwasung City, Korea. Sales offices are located in Belgium, Japan,
Taiwan, Korea, China, and Singapore.
