| Item 5.05 | Amendment to the Registrant’s Code of Ethics, or a Waiver of a Provision of the Code of Ethics |
On June 7, 2007, the Board of Directors of UCN, Inc., approved and adopted an updated Code of Ethics applicable to executive officers (including the principal executive officer and principal financial officer), directors, and employees. A copy of the updated Code of Ethics is included with this filing as an exhibit, which lists the standards established by UCN that it reasonably believes promote honest and ethical conduct and full, fair, and timely disclosure of material information regarding UCN in its periodic reports.
Among other items, the new Code of Ethics includes the following changes.
— |
UCN’s Code of Ethics has always prohibited acceptance payments or gifts from others, except for inexpensive gifts, infrequent business meals, celebratory events and entertainment, provided that they are not excessive or create an appearance of impropriety. The new standards establish more formal limits and requirements to make a “brighter” line between what is acceptable and what is not under UCN’s ethics policy. | |
— |
More formal procedures for obtaining information and answers to questions about the code, as well as reporting matters under the Code have been added. | |
— |
The provision governing waivers was expanded to clarify that waivers pertaining to the principal executive officer, principal financial officer or a director can only be approved by the Board of Directors or a committee of the Board, and waivers with respect to other employees must be approved by both the chief executive officer and chief financial officer. | |
Updating the Code of Ethics was a result of UCN’s regular process of periodically reviewing corporate governance documents, policies, and related matters and an effort to position UCN for seeking a listing on an exchange. As a result, UCN took additional steps related to corporate governance matters, including the following:
— |
UCN established written Corporate Governance Guidelines to make clear UCN’s policies regarding corporate governance and standards of conduct that management applies to UCN and all facets of its operations; | |
— |
UCN adopted modifications to the Audit Committee Charter originally adopted in June 2002 to update the charter to incorporate audit committee practices that have developed over the past five years; | |
— |
UCN adopted a formal charter for the Compensation Committee to clarify the scope of its responsibility and provide guidance on the performance of its duties; and | |
— |
UCN created a Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee with a written charter that is charged with the responsibility of seeking and evaluating director candidates, periodically reviewing the Corporate Governance Guidelines and Code of Ethics, and overseeing an annual evaluation of the performance of the Board. | |
UCN’s Corporate Governance Guidelines, Code of Ethics, Audit Committee Charter, Compensation Committee Charter, and Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee Charter are available for review on UCN’s website at www.ucn.net. All future amendments or modifications of the foregoing will also be posted on UCN’s website.
