      (d) On October 8, 2014, the Board of Directors of Rogers Corporation
      (the &#8220;Company&#8221;) voted to increase the current size of the Board of
      Directors from eight to nine members and then appointed Helene Simonet
      as a new Director of the Company.&#160;&#160;Ms. Simonet will serve as a Director
      until the next annual meeting of shareholders and thereafter until her
      successor is chosen and qualified. Ms. Simonet will serve on the Audit
      Committee of the Board of Directors.
    </p>
    <p>
      Since April 2002, Ms. Simonet has served as the Executive Vice President
      and Chief Financial Officer of Coherent, Inc.&#160;(NASDAQ: COHR).&#160;Coherent
      is a leading global supplier of photonics technology products and
      solutions for a wide range of commercial and scientific research
      applications. Prior to joining Coherent in 1999, Ms. Simonet had
      previously spent more than twenty years in senior finance positions at
      Raychem Corporation.&#160;&#160;
    </p>
    <p>
      On October 8, 2014, the Company approved the entering into of its
      standard form of Indemnification Agreement for Company directors with
      Ms. Simonet which provides that, among other things, the Company will
      indemnify Ms. Simonet against certain liabilities that may arise by
      reason of her status or service as a Director of the Company, and that
      the Company will advance to her the expenses incurred as a result of a
      proceeding as to which she may be indemnified.&#160;&#160;The above description is
      qualified in its entirety by the terms of the Form of Indemnification
      Agreement (Director Form), a copy of which has been previously filed as
      Exhibit 99.1 to the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K, filed on
      December 14, 2004, and is incorporated herein by reference.

    <p>
      Certain statements in this press release may constitute &#8220;forward-looking
      statements&#8221; within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation
      Reform Act of 1995.&#160;Such forward-looking statements are based on
      management's expectations, estimates, projections and assumptions.&#160;Words
      such as &#8220;expects,&#8221; &#8220;anticipates,&#8221; &#8220;intends,&#8221; &#8220;believes,&#8221; &#8220;estimates,&#8221;
      &#8220;should,&#8221; &#8220;target,&#8221; &#8220;may,&#8221; &#8220;project,&#8221; &#8220;guidance,&#8221; and variations of such
      words and similar expressions are intended to identify such
      forward-looking statements.&#160;Such forward-looking statements involve
      known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors that may cause
      our actual results or performance to be materially different from any
      future results or performance expressed or implied by such
      forward-looking statements.&#160;Such factors include, but are not limited
      to, changing business, economic, and political conditions both in the
      United States and in foreign countries, particularly in light of the
      uncertain outlook for global economic growth, particularly in several of
      our key markets; increasing competition; any difficulties in integrating
      acquired businesses into our operations and the possibility that
      anticipated benefits of acquisitions and divestitures may not
      materialize as expected; delays or problems in completing planned
      operational enhancements to various facilities; our achieving less than
      anticipated benefits and/or incurring greater than anticipated costs
      relating to streamlining initiatives or that such initiatives may be
      delayed or not fully implemented due to operational, legal or other
      challenges; changes in product mix; the possibility that changes in
      technology or market requirements will reduce the demand for our
      products; the possibility of significant declines in our backlog; the
      possibility of breaches of our information technology infrastructure;
      the development and marketing of new products and manufacturing
      processes and the inherent risks associated with such efforts and the
      ability to identify and enter new markets; the outcome of current and
      future litigation; our ability to retain key personnel; our ability to
      adequately protect our proprietary rights; the possibility of adverse
      effects resulting from the expiration of issued patents; the possibility
      that we may be required to recognize impairment charges against goodwill
      and non-amortizable assets in the future; the possibility of increasing
      levels of excess and obsolete inventory; increases in our employee
      benefit costs could reduce our profitability; the possibility of work
      stoppages, union and work council campaigns, labor disputes and adverse
      effects related to changes in labor laws; the accuracy of our analysis
      of our potential asbestos-related exposure and insurance coverage; the
      fact that our stock price has historically been volatile and may not be
      indicative of future prices; changes in the availability and cost and
      quality of raw materials, labor, transportation and utilities; changes
      in environmental and other governmental regulation which could increase
      expenses and affect operating results; our ability to accurately predict
      reserve levels; our ability to obtain favorable credit terms with our
      customers and collect accounts receivable; our ability to service our
      debt; certain covenants in our debt documents could adversely restrict
      our financial and operating flexibility; fluctuations in foreign
      currency exchange rates; and changes in tax rates and exposure which may
      increase our tax liabilities.&#160;Such factors also apply to our joint
      ventures.&#160;We make no commitment to update any forward-looking statement
      or to disclose any facts, events, or circumstances after the date hereof
      that may affect the accuracy of any forward-looking statements, unless
      required by law.&#160;Additional information about certain factors that could
      cause actual results to differ from such forward-looking statements
      include, but are not limited to, those items described in our filings
      with the Securities and Exchange Commission (&quot;SEC&quot;), including those in
      Item 1A, Risk Factors, of the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended
      December 31, 2013 and subsequent Securities and Exchange Commission
      filings.
