Item 2.05     Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.

On July 17, 2012, the management of Rogers Corporation (the “Company”), in connection with its continuing efforts to be more responsive to customers, committed to a plan to move the final inspection operations of its indirect wholly owned subsidiary Curamik Electronics GmbH (“Curamik”) from Curamik’s manufacturing site in Eschenbach, Germany to Hungary.  The move is expected to enable more cost effective performance of the inspecting operations, which is an important part of Curamik’s manufacturing process for direct bonded copper ceramic substrates.    

We expect the move to be substantially complete by the end of 2012 or early in 2013 and related expenses and charges will be incurred over that time period.    These expenses and charges, which cannot be reasonably estimated at this time, will include, without limitation, the following major components: (i) costs associated with the separation from employment of employees at the Eschenbach facility; and; (ii) costs to start up the new facility in Hungary.  An amendment to this Form 8-K will be timely filed when estimates for these expenses and charges are formulated.
