Item 5.05. Amendments to the Company’s Code of Business Conduct and Ethics.
As part of its regular review of the corporate governance policies of FEI Company (the “Company”), the Company’s Board of Directors approved an updated and revised Code of Conduct (“Code”) on February 11, 2015, which amends and replaces the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics.
The amendments to the Code clarify, update or enhance the descriptions of the standards of conduct that are expected of all officers, directors, and employees of the Company and its subsidiaries. The amendments include: (1) a letter to employees from the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, (2) emphasis on the Company’s policies regarding workplace issues such as diversity, discrimination, and harassment, (3) alignment of the Code to current versions of other Company policies, and (4) other non-substantive changes to enhance the readability of the Code (such as questions and answers illustrating the application of various provisions of the Code). Amending the Code did not result in any waiver, explicit or implicit, of any provision of the Code.
The description of the amendments to the Code contained in this report is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Code filed as exhibit 14.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K. The Code, as amended, is available in the Investor Relations section of the Company’s website, www.fei.com, under Corporate Governance.
