Item 5.05.    Amendments to the Registrant's Code of Ethics, or Waiver of a Provision of the Code of Ethics
 
On August 14, 2014, the Board of Directors of Blucora, Inc. (the "Company") approved and adopted a new Code of Ethics and Conduct (the "Code of Ethics"). The Code of Ethics applies to all directors, officers, and employees of the Company and its subsidiaries. The Code of Ethics supersedes the Company's previous Code of Business Conduct and Ethics (the "Prior Code"), and is an entirely new document that was drafted and adopted by the Company to enhance readability and to provide a clear and concise statement of the Company's expectations regarding the conduct of its directors, officers, and employees. The replacement of the Prior Code did not relate to or result in any waiver, explicit or implicit, of any provision of the Prior Code. The foregoing summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Code of Ethics, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 14.1 to this report and is incorporated by reference into this Item 5.05.
