Item 5.05 Amendments to the Registrant’s Code of Ethics, or Waiver of a Provision of the Code of Ethics.
On February 29, 2024, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Myers Industries, Inc. (“Myers” or the “Company”) approved and adopted an amended and restated Code of Ethics & Business Conduct (the “Amended Code”). The Amended Code sets forth Myers’ business and personal ethical and compliance conduct expectations for all officers, directors, employees, and agents of Myers and its subsidiaries. The Amended Code was recommended for adoption by the Corporate Governance Committee of the Board as part of its ordinary course recurring review of the Company’s governance policies.
The Amended Code is effective March 1, 2024. Its adoption by the Board did not result in any waiver with respect to any officer, director, employee or agent of the Company from any provision of the Code as in effect prior to the Board’s action to adopt the Amended Code.
The Amended Code was adopted to, among other things, generally incorporate current governance, ethics, and compliance best practices and to make it more comprehensive by including references or descriptions of all relevant Company policies and certain additional policies applicable to the Company’s business that were not previously referenced or described.
The summary description of the Amended Code contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K is not intended to be exhaustive and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Code, as amended, which is attached as Exhibit 14.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
