Item 5.05 Amendments to the Registrant's Code of Ethics, or Waiver of a Provision of the Code of Ethics

On August 18, 2023, the board of directors (the "Board") of United Fire Group, Inc. (the "Company") amended its Code of Ethics and Business Conduct (the "Code"), which governs the conduct of all directors, officers and employees of the Company and its subsidiaries. The Company's prior Code of Ethics and Business Conduct was adopted a number of years ago. The Board believes the revised Code is more robust and detailed and better reflects the Company's current practices and the current standards in public company corporate governance.

The revised Code provides enhanced descriptions of the types of situations that would or may involve a conflict of interest. It also provides more detailed guidelines with regard to determination of conflicts of interest, the process for disclosure of such transactions and guidance on duties to directors, officers and employees within the context of corporate opportunities. The revised Code includes a provision detailing the Company’s prohibition on bribery and corruption. The revised Code also contains a provision on money laundering prevention and compliance with sanctions. The revised Code provides a more detailed description of what constitutes insider trading and securities trading. The revised Code includes provisions on fair competition and anti-trust, as well as responsible engagement of third parties. The revised Code encourages employees to contact the Employee Assistance Program for concerns related to substance abuse. The revised Code discloses the Company’s prohibition on weapons in the workplace, as well as the Company’s prohibition on human trafficking, forced labor, slavery, or child labor by the Company or any third party with whom the Company does business. The revised Code implements more detailed standards for reporting and enforcement of violations of the revised Code, procedures for obtaining waivers of Code violations and a prohibition against retaliation against parties who make good faith reports of known or suspected acts of misconduct or other violations. The revised Code also encourages employees to discuss questions concerning compliance with the Code with a member of the Company’s human resources department, the Company’s chief legal officer, or the ethics hotline.

The foregoing summary does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Code, which can be found on the Company's investor website at ir.ufginsurance.com under "Overview - Governance Documents - Code of Ethics and Business Conduct."
