On October 6, 2017, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Tecnoglass Inc.

The Board’s adoption of the new Code of Conduct effectively amends the Company’s previous Code of Ethics. However, the adoption of the new Code of Conduct does not result in any waiver, explicit or implicit, of any provision of the Company’s previous Code of Ethics.

 

A copy of the Code of Conduct is attached to this current report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 14.1, and is incorporated by reference into this Item 5.05.
