Item 5.05 Amendments to the Registrant's Code of Ethics, or Waiver of a Provision of the Code of Ethics.
On April 3, 2013, the Board of Directors of CHS Inc. (the “Company”) adopted new CHS Compliance Policies (the “New Policies”) applicable to all directors, officers and employees of the Company. The New Policies, together with the Company's Global Code of Conduct (the “Code”), constitute the Company's code of ethics for purposes of Item 406(b) of Regulation S-K.
The New Policies replace policies (the “Prior Policies”) that had been in place at the time the Code was adopted, effective on January 2, 2012. The New Policies generally address the same topics as the Prior Policies but have been re-written to update the language and format and globalize the Company's policy statements. There are no material substantive changes reflected in the New Policies compared to the Prior Policies as they apply to the Company's principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller.
The Company will provide a copy of the Code and the New Policies to any person, without charge, upon request in the same manner described in the Company's most recently filed Annual Report on Form 10-K.
