CONFLICT MINERALS REPORT OF

THE GORMAN-RUPP COMPANY

FOR THE REPORTING PERIOD FROM

JANUARY 1 TO DECEMBER 31, 2015

I. Introduction

This is the Conflict Minerals¹ Report of The Gorman-Rupp Company (“we,” “our,” “us,” “Gorman-Rupp,” or the “Company”) prepared for calendar year 2015 in accordance with Rule 13p-1 (“Rule 13p-1”) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Act”). Numerous terms in this Report are defined in Rule 13p-1 of the Act and Form SD, and the reader is referred to those sources and also to Release No. 34-67716 (August 22, 2012) of the Act (the “Adopting Release”) for such definitions.

In accordance with Rule 13p-1, we undertook efforts to determine the content and source of the minerals within our products. The Company designed its efforts in conformity with the internationally recognized due diligence framework put forth in the OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas² (“OECD Due Diligence Guidance”) and related Supplements.

The statements below are based on the activities performed to date and in good faith by Gorman-Rupp and are based on the infrastructure and information available at the time of this filing. Factors that could affect the accuracy of these statements include, but are not limited to, incomplete supplier data or available smelter data, errors or omissions by suppliers or smelters, evolving definition and confirmation of smelters, incomplete information from industry or other third-party sources, continuing guidance regarding the SEC final rules, and other issues.

II. Overview

Company Profile

Gorman-Rupp was incorporated in Ohio in 1934. The Company designs, manufactures and globally sells pumps and pump systems for use in water, wastewater, construction, dewatering, industrial, petroleum, original equipment, agriculture, fire protection, heating, ventilating and air conditioning (“HVAC”), military and other liquid-handling applications.

We are subject to this rule as we have determined that, during 2015, conflict minerals were likely necessary to the functionality or production of products we manufactured or contracted to manufacture. The Company, as a purchaser of component parts, is many steps removed from the mining of conflict minerals. We do not purchase raw ore or unrefined conflict minerals, and we conduct no purchasing activities directly in the covered countries.

¹  The term “conflict mineral” is defined in Section 1502(e)(4) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act as (A) columbite-tantalite, also known as coltan (the metal ore from which tantalum is extracted); cassiterite (the metal ore from which tin is extracted); gold; wolframite (the metal ore from which tungsten is extracted); or their derivatives; or (B) any other mineral or its derivatives determined by the Secretary of State to be financing conflict in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (“DRC”) or an adjoining country.

Exhibit 1.01

Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry Information

We have conducted a good faith reasonable country of origin inquiry (“RCOI”) to determine whether the necessary conflict minerals originated in the DRC or an adjoining country or came from recycled or scrap sources.

Gorman-Rupp’s RCOI process included conducting an inquiry of our direct suppliers using the Conflict-Free Sourcing Initiative’s (“CFSI”) Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (“CMRT”). Based on the results of our RCOI which indicated sourcing from the covered countries, we exercised due diligence on the source and chain of custody of the conflict minerals in accordance with the OECD framework. Our due diligence efforts are discussed further in this Conflict Minerals Report.

Due Diligence Program Design

The Company designed its conflict minerals program to conform, in all material respects, with the five-step framework of the OECD Due Diligence Guidance, the Supplement on Tin, Tantalum, and Tungsten, and the Supplement on Gold, specifically as they relate to our position in the minerals supply chain as a “downstream” company:

Step 1: Establish strong company management systems

Step 2: Identify and assess risks in the supply chain

Step 3: Design and implement a strategy to respond to identified risks

Step 4: Carry out independent third-party audit of smelter/refiner’s due diligence practices

Step 5: Report annually on supply chain due diligence.

III. Due Diligence Measures Performed by Gorman-Rupp

The following describes the measures taken to reasonably determine the country of origin and to exercise due diligence in the mineral supply chain in conformance with the OECD Due Diligence Guidance.

Step 1: Establish strong company management systems

a. Conflict minerals team – Gorman-Rupp established a conflict minerals team that includes individuals from the appropriate business units and departments, including compliance, finance, procurement, sales, and legal. The team was structured to include the involvement from those in upper management roles to ensure critical information, including the Company’s conflict minerals policy reached relevant employees and suppliers. We also engaged Crowe Horwath, an international accounting and consulting firm, to assist us with our compliance efforts.

b. Conflict minerals policy – Gorman-Rupp adopted and published a policy highlighting Gorman-Rupp’s commitment to complying with the reporting and due diligence obligations required by the SEC rule and Gorman-Rupp’s expectations from its suppliers. The policy resides on our corporate website (http://gormanrupp.com/corporate-governance/). It is reviewed annually and will be updated, if necessary.

Exhibit 1.01

c. Internal engagement – We developed a training program for internal use to educate relevant employees on our conflict minerals program and reporting obligations.

d. Supplier engagement – Gorman-Rupp communicated its conflict minerals policy and provided educational materials to our queried suppliers. Suppliers were provided information on the conflict minerals disclosure requirements.

e. Company level grievance mechanism – As recommended by the OECD Due Diligence Guidance, Gorman-Rupp has a grievance mechanism in place as a risk-awareness system for conflict minerals issues.

f. Records management – Gorman-Rupp will maintain records relating to our conflict minerals program in accordance with the recommended record retention guidelines of five years.

Step 2: Identify and assess risks in the supply chain

We performed the following steps as part of our risk assessment process:

a. Identified products in-scope – Our conflict minerals team conducted a detailed review of the products manufactured or contracted to be manufactured during the Reporting Period to identify products that should be deemed in-scope as described by the Adopting Release.

b. Conducted RCOI – Gorman-Rupp utilized the industry-developed CMRT to query our suppliers for conflict minerals information. We requested this information from the Tier 1 suppliers who provide material and components for the products deemed in-scope by our conflict minerals team. We evaluated the responses from the templates submitted by our suppliers to determine our reporting obligation based on this RCOI. See Appendix I for a list of countries of origin identified through the RCOI process.

c. Completed additional follow-up – Gorman-Rupp contacted direct suppliers that did not respond to our request for conflict minerals information by the requested date. We also worked to clarify and validate the accuracy of information provided by our suppliers.

d. Identified smelters or refiners (“SORs”) – Gorman-Rupp compiled a list of SORs in our supply chain using our supplier’s responses in their CMRTs.

Step 3: Design and implement a strategy to respond to identified risks

We performed the following steps as part of our risk management plan:

a. Designed and implemented a plan – Gorman-Rupp evaluated suppliers based on the responses provided within their CMRT as well as any additional documentation furnished to support those responses.

b. Verified SORs – As part of the risk mitigation process, the Company reconciled the list of SORs collected from suppliers to the list of smelter facilities identified by the CFSI’s Conflict-Free Smelter Program.

Exhibit 1.01

Step 4: Carry out independent third-party audit of smelter/refiner’s due diligence practices

Gorman-Rupp is relying on published lists from CFSI, London Bullion Market Association (“LBMA”) and Responsible Jewelry Council (“RJC”), to confirm the existence and verify the conflict-free status of SORs identified during our due diligence.

Step 5: Report annually on supply chain due diligence

Accordingly, this Conflict Minerals Report has been filed with the SEC and is available on our website at http://gormanrupp.com/corporate-governance/.

IV. Product Description; Processing Facilities

Product Description – The Company manufactures and internationally sells pumps and pump systems.

Processing Facilities – Based on our due diligence process and the information received from our suppliers, the following facilities were identified by the Company’s suppliers as the smelters and refiners of the tin, tantalum, tungsten and/or gold present in and necessary to the functionality of products manufactured by the Company in the year ended. The information from our suppliers is still evolving and may contain company level declarations. As such, this smelter list is presented in good faith as the best information we have to date. This list may contain smelters that are not in our supply chain and there may be other smelters not yet identified in our due diligence process. We will continue to update the list as our information and the relevant third-party data from CFSI, LBMA, and RJC improves.

We will continue to communicate our expectations and information requirements to our direct suppliers. Over time, we anticipate that the amount of information available globally on the traceability and sourcing of these ores will increase and improve our knowledge. We will continue to make inquiries to our direct suppliers and undertake additional risk assessments when potentially relevant changes in facts or circumstances are identified. If we become aware of a supplier whose due diligence needs improvement, we may continue the trade relationship while that supplier improves its compliance program. We encourage our suppliers to take similar measures with their suppliers to ensure alignment throughout the supply chain.

In addition to those above, the Company will undertake the following steps during the next compliance period:

• Continue to collect responses from suppliers using the most recent revision of the CMRT.

• Engage with in-scope suppliers that did not provide a response in 2015 or provided incomplete responses to help with our data collections for 2016.

• Monitor and track performance of risk mitigation efforts.

• Compare and validate RCOI results to information collected via independent conflict-free smelter validation programs such as the CFSI.

• Continue to allow verified conflict-free material from the region to enter our supply chain.
