ITEM 5.05    Amendments to the Registrant’s Code of Ethics, or Waiver of a Provision of the Code of Ethics

On May 1, 2012, the Board of Directors of the Company approved and adopted an amendment to our Code of Conduct (as amended, the “Code”). The Code was amended to further address illegal payments to foreign government officials and the Company’s commitment to compliance with The Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended.

The approval and adoption of the amendment did not result in any waiver, explicit or implicit, of any provision of the Code. The Code does not replace, but is in addition to, the Company’s separate Code of Ethics.

The foregoing summary of the amendment is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, reference to the full text of the Code (a fully amended and restated copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 14.1 and incorporated herein by reference). The Code has been posted on the “Investor Relations” section of our website at www.jbssinc.com.
