Item 5.05

Amendments to the Registrant's Code of Ethics, or Waiver of a Provision of the Code of Ethics

 

On November 14, 2005, Emerging Vision, Inc. (the “Company”) (OTCBB – ISEE.OB) adopted a definitive Corporate Code of Ethics and Conduct (the “Code”) to codify the ethical responsibilities of the Company and its subsidiary companies, and of each of their respective officers, directors and employees (collectively, the “Company Parties”). Generally, the Code requires that the Company Parties conduct their business in accordance with all applicable laws and regulations, and in accordance with the highest standards of business ethics. The Code also established the fundamental principles and key policies and procedures that govern the conduct of the Company Parties’ business.

 

The Code replaces the long-standing guidelines, either non-written or embodied in resolutions adopted by the Board, that the Company originally implemented at the time of its initial public offering. Since the initial public offering, the Company Parties have abided by those guidelines.

 

The descriptions of the Code set forth herein are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Code itself, which is filed as Exhibit 14.1.

 

 

Exhibit No.
