accordance with Section&nbsp;1502 of the Dodd Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (&#147;Act&#148;) governing conflict minerals, registrants must determine whether any of the conflict minerals (defined by the Act as Tin
Cassiterite), Tungsten (Wolframite), Tantalum (Columbite-Tantalite or Coltan) and Gold (the &#147;3TGs&#148; or &#147;Conflict Minerals&#148;) are necessary to the functionality or production of its manufactured products. If so, the registrant must
conduct a Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry (&#147;RCOI&#148;) to determine whether any of the Conflict Minerals in its manufactured products originated in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (&#147;DRC&#148;) or an adjoining country (together
with the DRC, the &#147;Covered Countries&#148;). </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Neogen Corporation develops and markets products dedicated to food and animal safety. The

is a leader in the development of animal genomics along with the manufacturing and distribution of a variety of animal healthcare products, including diagnostics, pharmaceuticals, veterinary instruments, wound care and disinfectants. </P>

its manufacturing supply chain, and sent the conflict minerals reporting survey to a subset of our direct suppliers and received responses from all of the suppliers surveyed. While many of these responses indicated that the products supplied did not
contain any conflict minerals or did not contain any conflict minerals that originated in the DRC, one of the suppliers had recently been purchased and was not prepared, due to the breadth and complexity of their products and supply chain, to verify
the origin of their products </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Despite having conducted a good faith reasonable country of origin inquiry and due diligence process, Neogen does not
currently have sufficient information from its suppliers or other sources to determine the country of origin of the conflict minerals used in its products or identify the facilities used to process those conflict minerals. Therefore, Neogen cannot
exclude the possibility that some of these conflict minerals may have originated in the DRC or an adjoining country and are not from recycled or scrap sources. Using our supply chain due diligence processes, the Company hopes to further develop
transparency into our supply chain. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Independent Private Sector Audit </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Company does not have sufficient information to determine whether its products are &#147;DRC conflict free.&#148; As such, an independent private sector
audit is not required at this time. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Forward Looking Statements </B></P>

that may cause these forward-looking statements to be inaccurate. These statements include statements regarding our goals for future improvements to our reasonable country of origin process and to mitigate the risk about the sourcing of our conflict
minerals. All forward-looking statements involve risk and uncertainty. Risks that may cause these forward-looking statements to be inaccurate include: lack of progress in carrying out these plans in a timely manner or at all; lack of cooperation or
progress by our employees and suppliers, and our suppliers&#146; respective suppliers and smelters; or these plans may not be effective. In addition, you should also consider the important factors described in reports and documents that we file from
time to time with the SEC. Except as required by law, we disclaim any obligation to update information contained in these forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise. </P>
