Item 5.05 Amendments to the Registrant’s Code of Ethics, or Waiver of a Provision of the Code of Ethics.
On August 11, 2017, the Board of Directors of PolarityTE, Inc. (the “Company”) adopted an amended and restated Code of Conduct and Business Ethics. The Code of Conduct and Business Ethics was updated to improve language, appearance and style, including the use of defined terms, all of which are designed to enhance readers’ understanding of its provisions. The Code of Conduct and Business Ethics was also amended to remove language that the Company considered to be dated or duplicative and unnecessary. The amendment took effect upon adoption by the Board of Directors and did not result in any waiver, explicit or implicit, of any provision of the Company’s previous Code of Conduct and Business Ethics.
The updated Code of Conduct and Business Ethics will be made available on the Company’s website at www.polarityte.com on the “Governance” page in the “Investors” section as soon as practicable.
The foregoing description of the amendments to the Code of Conduct and Business Ethics does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to Code of Business Conduct and Ethics of the Company, attached as Exhibit 14.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
