ITEM 5.05 Amendments to the Registrant’s Code of Ethics, or Waiver of a Provision of the Code of Ethics
On October 20, 2023, the Registrant’s Board of Directors approved an amended and restated Code of Business Conduct and Ethics (the “Ethics Code”) to update the portal for the reporting management system and to make other technical, administrative, and non-substantive amendments. The Ethics Code applies to all directors, officers, and employees of the Registrant and its subsidiaries, business units, branches and affiliates, and other entities that are related to the Registrant’s mining operations and establishes the basic standards of business practice, as well as professional and personal conduct that are expected of all covered persons. The Registrant is reporting the amendment and restatement of its Ethics Code in the event that the changes thereto would be deemed to be more than technical, administrative or non-substantive amendments. To the extent that the amendments would be substantive, the Registrant believes that such amendments to its Ethics Code are not material.
A copy of the Code of Ethics is available on the Registrant’s website at www.southerncoppercorp.com, under the “Corporate Governance” tab of the “About Us” menu. The foregoing summary of the amended and restated Ethics Code is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Ethics Code, filed as Exhibit 14.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
