The foregoing description of the revisions contained in the Code does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Code, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 14.1 and is incorporated herein by reference. A copy of the Code is also available free of charge on the Company’s website at www.aceto.com.
