corporation, will be held on Thursday, April 25, 2002, at 10:30 A.M. in the
Boardroom on the 26th floor of Fleet Bank, 777 Main Street, Hartford,

Stockholders entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the meeting are
determined as of the close of business on March 1, 2002, the record date
fixed by the board of directors for such purpose.

Regardless of whether or not you plan to attend the meeting, you can be
sure your shares are represented at the meeting by promptly signing, dating
and returning your proxy card in the enclosed pre-addressed, postage-paid
return envelope. If your shares are registered in the name of a bank or

One Technology Drive/P.O. Box 188/Rogers, CT 06263-0188/860.774.9605

March 18, 2002

We are providing you with this proxy statement in connection with the
solicitation of proxies by the Board of Directors of Rogers Corporation for
the Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held on Thursday, April 25, 2002,
at 10:30 A.M. in the Boardroom on the 26th floor of Fleet Bank, 777 Main
Street, Hartford, Connecticut.

If you are a stockholder of record as of the close of business on March 1,
2002, you are entitled to vote at the meeting and any adjournment thereof.
As of that date, 15,373,793 shares of capital stock, $1 par value per
share, of Rogers were outstanding. You are entitled to one vote for each
share owned. Execution of a proxy will not in any way affect your right to
attend the meeting and vote in person. Any stockholder submitting a proxy
has the right to revoke it any time before it is exercised by filing a
written revocation with the Clerk of Rogers, by executing a proxy with a
later date, or by attending and voting at the meeting.

If you sign your proxy card, but do not give voting instructions, the proxy
will be voted FOR fixing the number of directors for the ensuing year at
nine and the election of the nominees to the board of directors shown on
the next page under the heading "NOMINEES FOR DIRECTOR".

The presence, in person or by proxy, of the holders of a majority of the
shares of capital stock entitled to vote at the meeting is necessary to
constitute a quorum. Abstentions and broker "non-votes" are counted as
present and entitled to vote for purposes of determining a quorum. A broker
"non-vote" occurs when a nominee holding shares for a beneficial owner does
not vote on a particular proposal because the nominee does not have
discretionary voting power for that particular item and has not received
instructions from the beneficial owner. Under the rules of the stock
exchange applicable to member firms, brokers will have discretionary
authority to vote shares held in their name to fix the size of the board
and for the election of directors even if they do not receive instructions
from the beneficial owners.

With regard to the election of directors, votes may be cast for all
nominees or withheld from all nominees or any particular nominee. Votes
withheld in connection with the election of one or more directors will not
be counted as votes cast for such individuals. Those nominees receiving the
nine highest number of votes will be elected, even if such votes do not
constitute a majority of the votes cast.

We do not expect any matters other than those set forth in the accompanying
Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be presented at the meeting. If
any other matter should be presented at the meeting upon which a vote
properly may be taken, shares represented by all proxies properly executed
and received will be voted with respect to this matter in accordance with
the judgment of the persons named as proxies.

This proxy statement and the accompanying proxy are first being mailed to
you on or about March 20, 2002. In addition, we are enclosing a copy of our
2001 annual report.

Proposal 1: Election of Directors

The directors of Rogers are elected annually and hold office until the next
Annual Meeting of Stockholders and thereafter until their successors have
been elected and qualified. The board of directors has been advised that
each nominee will serve if elected. If any of these nominees should become
unavailable for election, proxies will be voted for the election of such
other person, or for fixing the number of directors at a lesser number, as
the board of directors may recommend. All of the nominees are currently
directors of Rogers and were elected to their present term of office at the
April 2001 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

Board of Directors

MEETINGS; CERTAIN COMMITTEES

The Rogers board of directors held eight meetings during 2001. The board of
directors has five regular committees, including an Audit Committee, a
Compensation and Organization Committee and a Nominating and Governance
Committee. All directors attended more than 75 percent in the aggregate of
the total number of meetings in 2001 of the board and the committees on
which each such director served.

The Audit Committee held two formal meetings in 2001. The Audit Committee
has functions that include making recommendations with respect to the
selection of the independent auditors of Rogers, meeting with the
independent auditors to review the scope, accuracy and results of the
audit, and making inquiries as to the adequacy of Rogers accounting,
financial and operating controls. Dr. Baker is the chairperson of the Audit
Committee, with Ms. Kraus and Mr. Paul as members. Each of these
individuals is "independent", as defined in the New York Stock Exchange's
listing standards. The Audit Committee is governed by a written charter
approved by the board of directors. The Audit Committee Report is on the
next page.

The Compensation and Organization Committee held five meetings in 2001.
This committee has functions that include reviewing the salary system to
ensure external competitiveness and internal consistency and reviewing
incentive compensation plans to ensure that they continue to be effective
incentive and reward systems. The Compensation and Organization Committee
also determines the President's compensation and approves or disapproves
the President's recommendations with respect to the compensation of
executive officers who report to the President. Mr. Jaskol is chairperson
of the Compensation and Organization Committee, with Messrs. Diefenthal and
Paul as members. This committee's compensation report begins on page 14.

The Nominating and Governance Committee held two meetings in 2001. This
committee has functions that include reviewing the qualifications of
candidates for director, nominating incumbent directors for reelection,
evaluating the performance of the Chief Executive Officer and at least
yearly, conducting a review of the performance of the board of directors.
Mr. Mitchell is the chairperson of the Nominating and Governance Committee
with Mr. Baker and Ms. Kraus as members. The Nominating and Governance
Committee will consider nominees recommended by stockholders if such
recommendations for director are submitted in writing to the Clerk of
Rogers.

DIRECTORS' COMPENSATION

For 2001, each director who was not an employee of Rogers earned an annual
retainer of $17,000, plus $1,200 for each board meeting attended and $1,400
or $950 for each committee meeting attended, the amount varying by capacity
as chairperson or as a member.

Under the 1998 Stock Incentive Plan, the retainer fee for non-employee
directors is paid semi-annually in shares of Rogers capital stock, with the
number of shares of stock granted based on its then fair market value.
Stock options are also granted to non-employee directors twice a year. In
2001, each such semi-annual stock option grant was for 2,000 shares with an
exercise price equal to the fair market value of a share of Rogers capital
stock as of the date of grant. Such options are immediately exercisable and
expire ten years from the date of grant.

Under Rogers Voluntary Deferred Compensation Plan for Non-Employee
Directors, such individuals may defer all or a portion of their annual
retainer and meeting fees, regardless of whether such amounts would have
been paid in cash or in Rogers capital stock.

Mr. Birkenruth, a former Rogers executive and a member of its board of
directors, provided consulting services to Rogers in 2001. He received
$16,000 of compensation for such services.

AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT

The Audit Committee oversees Rogers financial reporting process on behalf
of the Board of Directors. Management has the primary responsibility for
the financial statements and the reporting process including the systems of
internal controls. In fulfilling its oversight responsibilities, the Audit
Committee reviewed the audited financial statements for the Annual Report
with management including a discussion of the quality, not just the
acceptability, of the accounting principles, the reasonableness of
significant judgments, and the clarity of disclosures in the financial
statements.

The Audit Committee reviewed with Ernst & Young LLP, Rogers independent
auditors, who are responsible for expressing an opinion on the conformity
of those audited financial statements with generally accepted accounting
principles, their judgments as to the quality, not just the acceptability,
of Rogers accounting principles and such other matters as are required to
be discussed with the Audit Committee under generally accepted auditing
standards. In addition, the Audit Committee has discussed with the
independent auditors the auditors' independence from management and Rogers
including the matters in the written disclosures required by the
Independence Standards Board and considered the compatibility of non-audit
services with the auditors' independence.

The Audit Committee discussed with the Rogers internal and independent
auditors the overall scope and plans for their respective audits. The Audit
Committee meets with the internal and independent auditors, with and
without management present, to discuss the results of their examinations,
their evaluations of Rogers internal controls, and the overall quality of
Rogers financial reporting. The Audit Committee held two formal meetings
during 2001. Additionally, the Audit Committee participated telephonically
in quarterly closing conferences with the independent auditors and
management during which financial results and related issues were reviewed
and discussed prior to the release of 2001 quarterly results to the public.

In reliance on the reviews and discussions referred to above, the Audit
Committee recommended to the Board of Directors and the Board has approved
the inclusion of the audited financial statements in the Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 30, 2001 for filing with the
Securities and Exchange Commission. The Audit Committee has recommended and
the Board of Directors has approved the selection of Ernst & Young LLP as
Rogers independent auditors for fiscal year 2002.

<FN>
<F1> Overall corporate performance did not meet targeted levels for 2001,
and as a result, none of the Named Executive Officers earned a bonus
for 2001.

For 2000 and 1999, amounts include bonuses earned pursuant to Rogers
Annual Incentive Compensation Plan (the "Annual Incentive Plan") and
the Long-Term Enhancement Plan for Senior Executives of Rogers
Corporation (the "Enhancement Plan"). A portion of the bonuses earned
by Mr. Boomer pursuant to the Annual Incentive Plan were deferred by
him and ultimately will be paid to him in shares of Rogers capital
stock. The value of such deferrals, at the time of deferral, was
$35,600 for 2000 and $191,269 for 1999. Such amounts are included
above. The Enhancement Plan was adopted in 1997 to indirectly
supplement the retirement benefit provided to senior management.
Enhancement Plan payments are made in shares of Rogers capital stock.
In general, the bonus under the Enhancement Plan is equal to 10% of
the

(footnotes continued on following page)

bonus earned under the Annual Incentive Plan except as increased by
an "earnings credit" for bonuses earned before 1996. Payments in
capital stock are based on an average closing price of the capital
stock. In addition, certain individuals received, over time,
retroactive Enhancement Plan related payments for bonuses earned for
1993, 1994 and 1995 and the amounts for 1994 and 1995 are reflected
in the table. The next paragraph describes the specific amounts
earned under the Enhancement Plan by each of the Named Executive
Officers.

The amounts paid in 2001 under the Enhancement Plan with respect to
bonuses earned for 2000 under the Annual Incentive Plan are as
follows (for each individual, the number of shares is followed by the
dollar amount used to calculate the number of shares): Mr. Boomer -
1,034shares/$40,550; Mr. Wachob - 466 shares/$18,274; Mr. Roland -
296 shares/$11,577; Mr. Kosa - 224 shares/$8,754 and Mr. Soffer -
199 shares/$7,799. The amounts paid in July of 2000 under the
Enhancement Plan with respect to retroactive payments for the 1995
bonuses are as follows (for each individual, the number of shares is
followed by the dollar amount used to calculate the number of
shares): Mr. Wachob - 426 shares/$15,484; Mr. Kosa - 222
shares/$8,053 and Mr. Soffer - 183 shares/$6,626. The amounts paid
in February of 2000 under the Enhancement Plan with respect to
bonuses earned for 1999 under the Annual Incentive Plan are as
follows (for each individual, the number of shares is followed by the
dollar amount used to calculate the number of shares): Mr. Boomer -
1,906 shares/$38,254; Mr. Wachob - 762 shares/$15,271; Mr. Roland -
550 shares/$11,026; Mr. Kosa - 412 shares/$8,258 and Mr. Soffer -
338 shares/$6,757. Mr. Wachob's 1999 bonus line includes an
Enhancement Plan award related to a 1998 bonus as the information was
not available at the time the 1999 proxy statement was published. The
related number of shares and dollar amount are: 170 and $2,417. The
amounts paid in July of 1999 under the Enhancement Plan with respect
to retroactive payments for the 1994 bonuses are as follows (for each
individual, the number of shares is followed by the dollar amount
used to calculate the number of shares): Mr. Wachob - 858
shares/$12,679; Mr. Kosa - 406 shares/$5,978 and Mr. Soffer - 378
shares/$5,575. The valuations in the table are, however, based upon
the closing price of the capital stock on February 20, 2001 ($35.75)
in the case of payments made for 2000, on July 7, 2000 ($38.50) in
the case of retroactive payments made for 1995, on February 2, 2000
($19.625) in the case of payments made for 1999, on July 6, 1999
($15.1875) in the case of retroactive payments made for 1994 and on
April 26, 1999 ($14.9375) in the case of the payment made for 1998.
If an employee disposes of any shares of capital stock received under
the Enhancement Plan, then the employee may not be entitled to any
future awards under the Enhancement Plan.
<F2> Excludes perquisites and other personal benefits because the
aggregate amount of such compensation is the lesser of either $50,000
or 10% of the total of annual salary and bonus reported for the
individual. All amounts shown reflect the reimbursement of taxes on
non-qualified defined benefit pension plan accruals.
<F3> Amounts shown for 2001 include: (i) Rogers matching contributions to
the Rogers Employee Savings and Investment Plan, a 401(k) plan -
Messrs. Boomer, Wachob, Roland, Kosa and Soffer each received $4,250,
(ii) matching contributions under Rogers non-qualified deferred
compensation plan for Messrs. Boomer, Wachob, Roland, Kosa and Soffer
of $17,800; $7,348; $4,361; $2,569 and $2,000, respectively, (iii)
Rogers payment of life insurance premiums for Messrs. Boomer, Roland,
Kosa and Soffer of $9,928; $6,566; $4,413 and $4,386, respectively
and (iv) a patent award for Mr. Kosa of $200. Amounts for 2000 and
1999 include similar matching contributions by Rogers for deferrals
made under the 401(k) plan and the non-qualified deferral plan. The
amounts shown for 2000 also include relocation expenses for Mr.
Roland of $3,889 and a patent award for Mr. Kosa of $200. For Messrs.
Boomer and Roland, the 1999 amounts shown also include $5,850 and
$5,000, respectively, for relocation expenses.

(footnotes continued on following page)

Mr. Soffer's 2/14/01 stock option grant for 500 shares and his
10/23/01 stock option grant for 6,000 shares become exercisable in
one-third increments on the second, third, and fourth anniversary
dates of the respective grants. Stock option grants made on the same
day for the same individual were essentially one grant, but are shown
separately since a portion of the total amount was an incentive stock
option and a portion was a non-qualified stock option. If combined,
the related vesting schedules would, in general, follow Rogers more
traditional patterns. Messrs. Kosa and Soffer received some of their
stock option grants pursuant to the Rogers stock option reload
program. The exercise schedules may change in the event of death,
retirement or a change in control of Rogers, in which case the stock
options become immediately exercisable in full. All stock options may
expire earlier than the date listed due to termination of employment,
death, or retirement.
<F2> The exercise price of all of these stock options was based on the
fair market value of a share of Rogers capital stock as of the grant
date.
<F3> Potential realizable value is based on an assumption that the Rogers
stock price appreciates at the annual rate shown (compounded
annually) from the date of grant until the end of the stock option
term. THE HYPOTHETICAL FUTURE VALUES REFLECTED IN THIS TABLE
REPRESENT ASSUMED RATES OF APPRECIATION ONLY. THESE RATES ARE SET BY

COMPENSATION AND ORGANIZATION COMMITTEE REPORT

This report is submitted by the Compensation and Organization Committee of
the Rogers Corporation Board of Directors. This committee report describes
the components of Rogers executive officer compensation programs for 2001
and the basis on which compensation determinations were made with respect
to the executive officers of Rogers.

Compensation and Organization Committee Interlocks and Insider
Participation
Rogers executive compensation program is administered by the Compensation
and Organization Committee of the Board of Directors, composed of three
independent non-employee directors who have no "interlocking" relationships
as defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The committee members
are: Leonard R. Jaskol (chairperson of the committee), Edward L.
Diefenthal, and Robert G. Paul.

Philosophy
The executive compensation philosophy is to align such compensation with
the long-term success of Rogers and increases in stockholder value, and to
attract, retain, and reward executive officers whose contributions are
critical to the long-term success of Rogers. The guiding principles for
compensation decisions are to:

* Provide a competitive total annual cash compensation package that
targets the 50th percentile of a broad spectrum of manufacturing
companies from a wide range of industries to enable Rogers to attract
and retain executives. Key elements of the executive compensation
program are base salary and the possibility of a bonus under the
Annual Incentive Compensation Plan.

* Integrate compensation with the achievement of annual objectives and
long-term goals.

* Reward officers for above average corporate performance, and
individual initiative and achievement.

* Create long-term incentives that are consistent with the interests of
stockholders, primarily through stock option grants.

Base Salaries
The committee reviews salaries for positions with similar responsibilities
in the marketplace from a broad spectrum of manufacturing companies in a
wide range of industries through published national executive compensation
survey data.

Salary adjustments are determined by considering merit increases generally
being offered in the aforementioned marketplace, achievement of annual
financial and other objectives by Rogers and the business units or
functions for which the executive officer is responsible, the overall
performance of the executive officer, and any changes in the executive
officer's responsibilities. None of these factors are assigned a specific
weighted value. The committee allows the factors to change to adapt to
various individual, business, economic, and marketplace conditions as they
arise. The committee is responsible for approving recommendations for
salary increases made by the President for the executive officers that
report to him.

Annual Bonuses
The Annual Incentive Compensation Plan has target bonuses of 50% of base
salary for the President, and between 20% and 40% for the other executive
officers, including the other Named Executive Officers. Subject to an
overall corporate percentage of pre-tax profit limitation, actual bonuses
may vary from 0% to 200% of the target bonuses depending on performance
relative to plan. These amounts are determined by the performance of Rogers
(Net Income Per Share) and each division (Division Profit) versus the
annual objectives. In general, the broader the responsibility of the
executive, the larger the portion of his or her award which is based upon
corporate, rather than divisional results; the corporate portion is 100%
for the Named Executive Officers. For fiscal 2001, overall corporate
performance did not meet targeted levels and, as a result, none of the
Named Executive Officers received a bonus.

In 1997, Rogers conducted a number of studies and concluded that its
retirement benefit for senior executives was not competitive. Therefore,
the Long-Term Enhancement Plan for Senior Executives of Rogers Corporation
was established to supplement the retirement benefits of such individuals.
Enhancement payments are made in stock of Rogers and are equal to 10% of
the bonuses, if any, described in the preceding paragraph.

Stock Options
Each year, the committee considers awards of stock options to key
personnel. Stock options are Rogers primary long-term incentive vehicle.
Until recently, all senior management personnel, including executive
officers, have been granted stock options annually. Other selected
personnel are granted options from time to time. The number of options
awarded to an executive officer is based on the individual's level in the
organization, the same performance criteria used to determine salary
adjustments, the number of shares granted in prior years and the total
number of shares available for grants. The committee does not assign
specific weights to these criteria. In recent years, executive officers
with more than five years of service with Rogers received very few regular
stock option grants on an overall basis. This was not due to the
performance of such individuals, but instead has been strictly due to an
overall limitation imposed by the committee on the number of Rogers stock
options that should be outstanding at any one time. Such individuals could,
however, participate in a stock option reload program if the individual
owned a certain amount of Rogers stock. Options generally have an exercise
price equal to at least the fair market value of the Rogers stock as of the
date of grant. Regular options generally have a ten-year life and generally
vest in one-third increments on the second, third and fourth anniversary
dates of the grant, while grants made pursuant to the reload program vest
and expire over shorter periods of time. Termination of employment because
of retirement, or for other reasons, may shorten the vesting schedule and
expiration date.

In fiscal 2001, stock options for a total of 270,809 shares were granted to
employees, of which 86,900 shares were granted to the Named Executive
Officers and 6,000 shares were granted to all other executive officers.

Stock Ownership
In 1998, Rogers established stock ownership guidelines for senior
executives. Such guidelines state that senior executives are expected to
own one times their annual salary in Rogers stock after approximately six
years in a senior executive position, and two times their annual salary in
Rogers stock by the tenth year. To encourage stock ownership, Rogers
previously adopted the aforementioned stock compensation programs and in
1999 the board of directors approved a new non-qualified deferred
compensation plan. This program allows participants to defer compensation
and, ultimately, receive Rogers stock instead of cash.

Chief Executive Officer Compensation
In February of 2001, the committee approved a two-year salary increase of
$44,616 (11%) for Mr. Boomer. National survey data from a broad spectrum of
manufacturing companies from a wide range of industries was considered, but
the decision was weighted heavily by his previous salary level and his
continued contributions to Rogers success. A two-year increase, rather than
the traditional annual increase, was approved to reflect the committee's
philosophy that the CEO have more of a long-term than a short-term
influence on Rogers. Reviewing his salary every two years gives the
committee a better time frame for that evaluation and salary determination
than every year. In February 2002, Mr. Boomer requested and the committee
approved a salary decrease of $22,308. This eliminates the second year of
Mr. Boomer's two-year increase and is consistent with a 2002 salary freeze
which was implemented for other executives. He also received a stock option
for 40,000 shares of Rogers stock exercisable at $34.09 per share, the fair
market value of such stock as of the grant date. This grant was based on
the aforementioned stock option criteria. Mr. Boomer earned no bonus for
2001 because Rogers failed to achieve its bonus targets.

Compliance with Internal Revenue Code Section 162(m)
Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code generally limits the corporate
deduction for compensation paid to executive officers named in the proxy
statement and who are employed on the last day of Rogers taxable year to $1
million, unless certain requirements are met. The committee has considered
the impact of this tax code provision and has determined that there is
little likelihood that Rogers would pay any amounts in 2002 that would
result in the loss of a Federal tax deduction under Section 162(m).
Accordingly, the committee has not recommended that any special actions be
taken or any plans changed at this time.

PERFORMANCE GRAPH

The following graph compares the cumulative total return on Rogers capital
stock over the past five fiscal years with the cumulative total return on
the Standard & Poor's Industrials Index (S&P Industrials), the J P Morgan
H&Q Technology Stock Index (J P Morgan H&Q Technology) and the S&P SmallCap
600 Electronic Equipment & Instruments Index (S&P 600 Electr Eqp & Instru).
Since the S&P SmallCap 600 Electronic Equipment & Instruments Index now
includes Rogers, it has been selected to replace the J P Morgan H&Q
Technology Stock Index as the new "Peer Group Index". The performance of
the J P Morgan H&Q Technology Stock Index is presented for comparative
purposes as required by applicable securities regulations and will not be
provided in the future. Cumulative total return is measured assuming an
initial investment of $100 on December 29, 1996 and the reinvestment of
dividends as of the end of Rogers fiscal years.

Termination of Employment and Change of Control Arrangements

Rogers severance policy for regular, full-time salaried employees provides,
in general, for continuation of salary payments, health insurance and
certain other benefits for employees whose employment has been
involuntarily terminated. The number of weeks of salary and benefits
continuance is based on length of service. The policy may be amended,
modified or terminated at any time by Rogers, except in the case of the
executive officers of Rogers as of November 1991. Such officers may elect
the benefits of either the policy in effect in November 1991, or the
severance policy, if any, which may be in existence at the time each such
individual's employment terminates. The right of executive officers to make
such an election may be cancelled by Rogers on three years notice. Messrs.
Wachob and Soffer each would be entitled to 78 weeks of salary and benefit
continuance upon termination of employment covered by the policy in effect
in November 1991. In the case of Mr. Boomer, if employment is terminated by
Rogers, other than for cause, severance pay will equal one year of annual
base salary including all employee benefits.

The board of directors determined that it would be in the best interests of
Rogers to ensure that the possibility of a change in control of Rogers
would not interfere with the continuing dedication of Rogers executive
officers to their duties to Rogers and its stockholders. Toward that
purpose, Rogers has agreements with all current elected officers of Rogers,
including the Named Executive Officers, which provide certain severance
benefits to them in the event of a termination of their employment during a
36 month period following a change in control, as defined in the
agreements. The initial term of each agreement is three years and the term
is automatically extended for additional one-year periods each anniversary
date of the agreements, unless either party objects to such extension. If
within a 36 month period following a change in control, an executive's
employment is terminated by Rogers without cause, as defined in the
agreements, or if such executive resigns in certain specified
circumstances, then, provided the executive enters into a two-year non-
competition agreement with Rogers, the executive is generally entitled to
the following severance benefits: (i) twice his annual base salary plus
bonus; (ii) two years of additional pension benefits; and (iii) the
continuation of health and life insurance plans and certain other benefits
for up to two years. The agreements provide that severance and other
benefits be reduced to an amount so that such benefits would not constitute
so-called "excess parachute payments" under applicable provisions of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986.

Audit Matters

We expect representatives of Ernst & Young LLP, Rogers independent auditors
selected as the independent auditors for the fiscal years ending December
30, 2001, and December 29, 2002, to attend the annual meeting. They will
have an opportunity to make a statement if they wish, and will be available
to respond to appropriate questions.

Audit Fees: Ernst & Young LLP fees for the 2001 annual audit were $189,000.

Financial Information and System Design and Implementation Fees: No Ernst &
Young LLP fees were billed for financial information design and
implementation services rendered during 2001.

All Other Fees: Ernst & Young LLP fees for all other services rendered
during 2001 were $624,000, including audit related services of $499,000 and
non-audit related services of $125,000. Audit related services generally
include fees for pension and statutory audits, business acquisitions and
accounting consultations.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires Rogers
executive officers and directors, and persons who own more that 10% of
Rogers capital stock, to file reports of ownership and changes of ownership
on Forms 3, 4 and 5 with the Securities and Exchange Commission and the New
York Stock Exchange. Executive officers, directors and greater than 10%
stockholders are required to furnish Rogers with copies of all Forms 3, 4
and 5 they file.

Based solely on Rogers review of the copies of such forms it has received
and written representations from certain reporting persons that they were
not required to file Form 5s for specified fiscal years, Rogers believes
that all of its executive officers and directors complied with all Section
16(a) filing requirements applicable to them during Rogers fiscal year
ended December 30, 2001.

Proposals of Stockholders

Proposals of stockholders intended to be presented at the 2003 Annual
Meeting of Stockholders must be received by Rogers on or before November
18, 2002, for inclusion in Rogers proxy statement and form of proxy.
Proposals of stockholders received after February 3, 2003, will not be
considered timely and may not be presented at the 2003 Annual Meeting of
Stockholders.

Solicitation of Proxies

Rogers will pay the cost of soliciting proxies. In addition to
solicitations by mail, officers and employees of Rogers may solicit proxies
personally and by telephone, facsimile or other means, for which they will
receive no compensation in addition to their normal compensation. Rogers
will also request banks, brokers and other nominees holding shares for a
beneficial owner to forward proxies and proxy soliciting materials to the
beneficial owners of capital stock held of record by such persons. Rogers
will upon request reimburse brokers and other persons for their related
reasonable expenses.

"Householding" of Proxy Materials

In December of 2000, the Securities and Exchange Commission adopted new
rules that permit companies and intermediaries (e.g., brokers) to satisfy
the delivery requirements for proxy materials with respect to two or more
security holders sharing the same address by delivering a single proxy
statement and annual report addressed to those security holders. This
process, which is commonly referred to as "householding," potentially means
extra convenience for security holders and cost savings for companies.

This year, a number of brokers with account holders who are Rogers
Corporation stockholders will be "householding" proxy materials. As
indicated in the notice previously provided by these brokers to such
stockholders, a single proxy statement and an annual report will be
delivered to multiple stockholders sharing an address unless contrary
instructions have been received from an affected stockholder. Once a
stockholder has received notice that the broker will be "householding,"
"householding" will continue until the stockholder is notified otherwise or
until the stockholder has revoked consent by notifying the broker. If, at
any time, a stockholder no longer wishes to participate in "householding"
and would prefer to receive a separate proxy statement and annual report,
the stockholder should either notify the broker, send a written request to
Rogers Corporation, Treasury Department, One Technology Drive, P.O. Box
188, Rogers, Connecticut 06263-0188 or contact David Heilemann at (860)
779-5567.

Stockholders who currently receive multiple copies of the Rogers
Corporation proxy statement and annual report from their broker and would
like to request "householding" of such information should contact their
broker.
