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

On December 6, 2011, the Board of Directors of Zix Corporation (“Company”) approved an amended and restated Code of Conduct and Code of Ethics (“Code”) of the Company. Under the prior version of the Code, members of the Company’s Board of Directors and certain executive officers (CEO, CFO and Controller) were subject to a separate set of requirements dealing with accounting and auditing matters. The amended and restated Code now applies to all employees, executive officers and members of the Company’s Board of Directors equally. In addition, the amended and restated Code now includes additional content to address the Company’s compliance with the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and United States export controls.

The amended and restated Code of Conduct and Code of Ethics is available on the Company’s website at www.zixcorp.com/company/corporate-governance.
