Item 5.05 Amendments to the Registrant's Code of Ethics.
On August 7, 2014, the Board of Directors of Tesco Corporation (the "Company"), approved amendments to the Company’s Code of Business Conduct and Ethics (the "Code"), which applies to all officers, directors, agents, employees and Company representatives. The amendments arose in connection with the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee's annual review of the Code. The amended Code is substantially similar to the prior version, but (1) enhances the message from the Company's President on the importance of the Company's safety, ethics and compliance culture, (2) includes a new provision referencing the Company's Conflict Minerals Sourcing Policy, and (3) includes expanded discussion of certain topics including conflicts of interest/related party transactions, anti-bribery and corruption, employment practices, and compliance with the Code. The foregoing summary of the amendments to the Code is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, reference to the full text of the Code, as so amended, a copy of which is available at www.tescocorp.com under "Investor Relations>Corporate Governance" and is also attached hereto as Exhibit 14.1.
Item 8.01 Other Events.
