Section 1 Conflict Minerals Disclosure

Conflict Minerals Disclosure and Report

Conflict Minerals Disclosure
This Form SD of Ferro Corporation (we or us) is filed pursuant to Rule 13p-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, for
the reporting period from January 1 through December 31, 2016.
Rule 13p-1 requires us to disclose annually whether any conflict minerals that
are necessary to the functionality or production of products that we manufactured or contracted for manufacture during the reporting period originated in the Democratic Republic of the Congo or any adjoining country (each a Covered
Country and collectively, the Covered Countries), or were from recycled or scrap sources. Conflict minerals are gold, cassiterite, columbite-tantalite, wolframite or their derivatives, which are limited to tin, tantalum
and tungsten.
Accordingly, we conducted in good faith a reasonable country of origin inquiry, which was reasonably designed to determine whether any of
the necessary conflict minerals in our products originated in a Covered Country or came from recycled or scrap sources.
We used our enterprise resource
planning systems and internal inquiries to identify suppliers who supplied us necessary conflict minerals during the reporting period that is the subject of this Form SD. We identified six (6) suppliers who supplied us necessary conflict
minerals during the reporting period. We sent each of those identified suppliers a Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (version 4.20) (CMRT) developed by the Conflict-Free Sourcing Initiative and asked them to complete the template for
products or materials supplied to us in 2016. We received responses (by either a letter or completed CMRT) from all of those suppliers and reviewed the responses against our conflict minerals policy. When we determined that our suppliers CMRT
responses contained information we believed to be incomplete or potentially inconsistent with our conflict minerals policy, we followed up with those suppliers by e-mail or by phone to seek additional information or clarification about those
responses. As a result of those responses, either we have no reason to believe that the necessary conflict minerals contained in products that we manufactured or contracted for manufacture during the reporting period may have originated in the
Covered Countries or we have determined such necessary minerals came from recycled or scrap sources.
