Item 8.01. Other Events

On November 9, 2016, the Board of Directors of Myers Industries, Inc. (the “Company”) approved and adopted the Myers Industries, Inc. Amended and Restated Insider Trading Policy (the “Insider Trading Policy”). The Insider Trading Policy was amended to, among other things, prohibit Company directors, officers and employees from engaging in hedging or pledging activities with respect to the Company’s stock.

The Insider Trading Policy is applicable to the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ directors, officers and employees and has been revised to clarify the Insider Trading Policy’s applicability to consultants, contractors and agents who may have access to material non-public information in the course of their activities for the Company as well as entities controlled by directors, officers, employees and outside persons who have access to inside information regarding the Company.

The description of the Insider Trading Policy is a summary and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Insider Trading Policy, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1. The Insider Trading Policy will also be posted on our website at http://www.myersindustries.com/.
