Item 5.05 Amendments to the Registrant’s Code of Ethics, or Waiver of a Provision of the Code of Ethics.
On November 14, 2024, the Board of Directors of Aspen Aerogels, Inc. (the “Company”) approved and adopted an amended and restated Code of Business Conduct and Ethics (the “Code”), to replace the Company’s existing Code in its entirety, as part of its ordinary course review of the Company’s policies. The Code applies to all officers, directors and employees of the Company and its subsidiaries and constitutes a “code of ethics” as such term is defined in Item 406(b) of Regulation S-K. The amendment and restatement of the Code did not relate to or result in any waiver, whether explicit or implicit, of any provision of the Code. Among other things, the amended Code addresses the Company’s mission and values, the process around reporting concerns pursuant to the Code, and expands upon existing subjects such as workplace conduct, trade compliance, gifts and entertainment, conflicts of interest, protection of confidential information, government relations and other pertinent topics.
The above description of the Code does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Code, a copy of which is available on the “Investors” section of the Company’s website at www.aerogel.com. Information contained on or accessible through the Company’s website is not a part of, and is not incorporated by reference into, this Current Report on Form 8-K.
