Conflict Minerals Disclosure

Section 1502 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act defines conflict minerals as columbite-tantalite (coltan), cassiterite, gold, wolframite, or their derivatives, which are currently limited to tantalum, tin and tungsten (collectively, “Conflict Minerals”). The Company has conducted an internal review of its products and manufacturing processes and determined that Conflict Minerals are necessary to the functionality or production of the spinners that are part of the machinery used to make some of the Company’s insulation products.

In 2021, the Company contracted to manufacture spinners. Most of the spinners were used at the Company’s facilities in the production of its insulation products and some of the spinners were sold to third parties. The Company conducted in good faith a reasonable country of origin inquiry (“RCOI”) regarding the origin of the Conflict Minerals in the spinners sold to third parties. In conducting the RCOI, the Company contacted the single contract manufacturer of spinners containing Conflict Minerals (the “Supplier”) and discussed its policies and practices regarding the sourcing of Conflict Minerals. The Supplier indicated that it has received written declarations from its sub-suppliers that the Conflict Minerals they provide to the Supplier it purchased via scrap purchases on the secondary market in accordance with an established conflict-free policy, but the Supplier does not have third-party validation from a particular organization, program or protocol regarding each of the smelters used by its sub-suppliers. The Company has obtained a completed Conflict Minerals Reporting Template from the Supplier that provided no indication or reason to believe that Conflict Minerals in the spinner parts it supplied had originated from the DRC or an adjoining country. The Company plans to continue working with current and future suppliers to ensure that the Conflict Minerals supplied for spinner products do not originate in the DRC or an adjoining country.

This disclosure is also available in the Investor Relations section of our website (http://investor.owenscorning.com) under the tab entitled “SEC Filings.” Other information on our website shall not be deemed incorporated into, or to be a part of, this filing.
