Item 5.05 Amendments to the Registrants Code of Ethics, or Waiver
of a Provision of the Code of Ethics.

As part of its review of our corporate governance principles, on
June 14, 2017, our board of directors adopted amendments to our
Code of Business Conduct and Ethics (the Code). The Code is
applicable to all our employees, officers and directors. In
addition to technical, administrative and other non-substantive
amendments, the Code was amended to clarify that individuals
subject to the Code are required to comply with our comprehensive
compliance program when conducting business with Healthcare
Professionals from foreign countries and to clarify that nothing
in the Code (or in any other agreement any employee, officer or
director may have signed with our company, despite the language
in such agreement) is intended to limit the ability of any of our
employees, officers or directors to file a charge or complaint
with any government agency or commission, and does not limit
their ability to communicate with or otherwise participate in an
investigation or proceeding that may be conducted by a government
agency or commission. The amendments took effect upon adoption.
The foregoing description of the Code does not purport to be
complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the
complete text of the Code, which is filed as an exhibit to this
report and incorporated herein by reference. The Code is also
publicly available on our website at http://www.seaspine.com.
