    ROGERS, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 16, 2007--Rogers Corporation
(NYSE:ROG) announced that yesterday its Board of Directors approved
the investment of up to $50 million for the purchase of shares for a
new buy-back program.

    The timing and exact number of shares purchased will be determined
at the Company's discretion and will depend on market conditions. All
repurchases will be on the open market and funded from existing cash.
Currently, the Company has approximately 17 million shares of common
stock outstanding. This share buy-back program will be completed or
cancelled within 12 months.

"Today's announcement reflects our positive cash-flow outlook and our
commitment to shareholder value. Given our recent success, future
prospects, and the strength of our balance sheet, we believe that this
repurchase program represents an excellent investment for our
shareholders and could reverse most of the dilution caused by stock
option exercises over the last few years."
