Item 5.05   Amendments to the Registrant’s Code Of Ethics, or Waiver of a Provision of the Code Of Ethics.

 

On January 27, 2016, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Viveve Medical, Inc. (the “Company”) approved a waiver of the Company’s Policy on Insider Trading and Code of Business Conduct and Ethics (the “Policies”) in connection with the acquisition of a warrant (the “Warrant”), to purchase up to an aggregate of 202,000 shares of the common stock of the Company, no par value, to Alta Bioequities, L.P. (“Alta”), an affiliate of Daniel Janney. Mr. Janney is a director of the Company and also the Managing Director of Alta Bioequities Management, LLC, who is the general partner of Alta. Under the terms of the Policies, trading in the Company’s securities during certain “blackout” periods (as described in the Policies) by any persons covered by the Policies, including the Company’s officers and directors, is prohibited. As a result, the Board reviewed the facts surrounding the purchase of the Warrant by Alta, an affiliate of Mr. Janney, and the relevant provisions of the Policies. After due consideration of the purpose and intent of the Policies, the information currently in the public market relating to the Company, management’s expectations relating to the fourth quarter financial results and the fact that the Company’s warrants are not traded in the public market, among other factors, the Board determined that a one-time waiver of such provisions, as they relate to the sale of the Warrant to Alta during the current “blackout” period, was appropriate.
