<P STYLE="font: 12pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 12pt">Rogers Corporation (the &ldquo;Company,&rdquo; &ldquo;we&rdquo;
or in the possessive form, &ldquo;our&rdquo;) has evaluated the products it manufactured or contracted to manufacture in calendar
year 2013 and determined that certain of those products contained &ldquo;Conflict Minerals,&rdquo; as such term is defined in Form
SD as promulgated by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (&ldquo;SEC&rdquo;), and that said Conflict Minerals
were necessary to the functionality or production of said products. The Conflict Minerals necessary to the functionality or production
of those products were tin and gold. Based on a reasonable country of origin inquiry, as summarized below, the Company does not
know that necessary tin or gold originated in the Democratic Republic of the Congo or any adjoining country (the &ldquo;Covered
Countries&rdquo;) nor does it have reason to believe that any necessary tin or gold may have originated in any Covered Country.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 12pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 12pt"><I>Description of Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry</I></P>

<P STYLE="font: 12pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 12pt">The Company has established a Conflict Minerals Policy (the
&ldquo;Policy&rdquo;). The Policy is posted on the Company&rsquo;s public website. The Company has established its Vice President
of Supply Chain as the executive responsible for managing its Conflict Minerals compliance effort. The Company&rsquo;s Legal and
Environmental functions supported the Supply Chain organization with its compliance efforts, and external consultants assisted
in the development of the country of origin inquiry process.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 12pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 12pt">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 12pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 12pt">In preparing for compliance with Rule 13p-1 under the Securities
and Exchange Act of 1934, all products manufactured and sold by the Company in 2013 were reviewed for their potential to contain
Conflict Minerals. All of the products we manufactured for sale were in scope for the Supply Chain inquiry process.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 12pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 12pt">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 12pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 12pt">With respect to all raw materials that were used in the manufacture
of products for sale prior to 2013, and continued to be used in 2013, the Supply Chain and Environmental compliance functional
teams reviewed the Rogers Chemical Inventory and, by using the Chemical Abstract Services (CAS) registry number and Material Safety
Data Sheet information, identified raw materials that potentially contained Conflict Minerals. Raw materials that were used for
maintenance or research and development activities were not included in the inquiry process.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 12pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 12pt">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 12pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 12pt">With respect to raw materials introduced into production
for the first time during 2013 or raw materials provided by new suppliers during 2013, the standard Rogers material review process
was utilized to evaluate compliance. As part of that process, our Environmental compliance team reviewed each new material to determine
whether it contained Conflict Minerals. For redundancy, we also monitored additions to the Rogers Chemical Inventory System for
certain CAS registry numbers to ensure that materials that contain Conflict Minerals were flagged for review prior to being used
to manufacture products for sale.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 12pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 12pt">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 12pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 12pt">For both historically-used and new materials, the list of
materials which could potentially contain Conflict Minerals and suppliers of such materials compiled by the Environmental team
was provided to the Supply Chain team, which was charged with identifying which materials had been procured for the manufacture
of products sold to our customers in 2013. The Supply Chain team utilized purchasing data from our enterprise resource planning
system to identify which</P>

Inventory system or from the Supply Chain team.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 12pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 12pt">As part of our inquiry, all suppliers that provided raw materials
to the Company that contained Conflict Minerals were surveyed and asked to certify by way of the Electronic Industry Citizenship
Coalition&reg;/Global e-Sustainability Initiative template (known as the Conflict-Free Sourcing Initiative, or CFSI, template)
that the materials they sell to the Company did not originate in the Covered Countries or were from recycled or scrap sources.
They were also asked to provide information which supported their certification, including smelter information.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 12pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 12pt">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 12pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 12pt">During the inquiry process, all identified suppliers provided
certification that the materials provided to Rogers Corporation did not originate in the Covered Countries or were from recycled
or scrap sources. Of the four suppliers not supplying from recycled or scrap sources, all except for one provided smelter information,
and none of the identified smelters were located in a Covered Country. The remaining supplier indicated that the tin contained
within the copper it supplied to us was not necessary to the functionality or production of the copper, and therefore the tin would
also not be necessary to the functionality or production of our products.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 12pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 12pt">After review of the evidence provided by its suppliers of
Conflict Minerals, the Company has no reason to believe that the Conflict Minerals contained in its products which were necessary
to the functionality or production of said products may have originated in a Covered Country.</P>
