Effective December 11, 2019, the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) approved an updated and revised Code of Conduct (the “Code”), following the triennial review of the Code by the Board. The Code applies to all employees, executive officers and directors 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 Code was updated to improve the language, appearance and style in order to enhance the reader’s understanding of its provisions. The revised Code clarified items regarding various subject matters contained in the prior version of the Code and added new provisions regarding workplace safety, maintaining privacy, conflicts of interest and gifts.

The foregoing summary of the Code is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Code, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 14.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and which is incorporated by reference into this Item 5.05. The Revised Code of Conduct is also available on the Company’s website at www.christopherandbanks.com by clicking on “For Investors” and then “Corp. Governance."
