Item 5.05
Amendments to the Registrant’s Code of Ethics or Waiver of a Provision of the Code of Ethics.
As part of its regular review and oversight of the corporate governance of Dynamic Materials Corporation (the “Company”), the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee (“CGNC”) of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) over the past several months reviewed and updated the Company’s Code of Business Conducts & Ethics (the “Ethics Code”). Upon the recommendation of the CGNC, the Board approved the revised Ethics Code effective as of September 4, 2015.

The Ethics Code as updated and amended includes greater detail on many of the topics previously included in the Ethics Code, as well as practical questions and answers on many of the topics. Sections addressing the Company’s political contribution and citizenship and human rights policies have been added to the updated Ethics Code. The amended Ethics Code also includes a new section on the Company’s commitment to the fair and equitable treatment of its employees and policies to promote a positive work environment, matters that had been previously been covered by other Company policies and procedures but which are now brought into the updated Code. The remainder of the changes to the Ethics Code are of a more stylistic, technical, administrative or other non-substantive nature.

A copy of the amended Code is posted on the Governance page of the Company’s Internet website (http://www.dmcglobal.com/investors/governance). In the future, the Company plans to disclose amendments to, or waivers of a provision of, the Ethics Code by posting the same to its website.
