Item 8.01 Other Events
On November 29, 2013, Paul D. Arling, Chairman and CEO of Universal Electronics Inc., established a new trading plan in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act (the “Plan”). Rule 10b5-1 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 permits an individual who is not then in possession of material nonpublic information to establish a prearranged plan to buy or sell stock. The rule allows an individual to buy or sell shares of stock at a specific price in the future, regardless of any subsequent material nonpublic information.
Under the Plan, Arling intends to exercise up to 72,000 employee stock options and to immediately sell the underlying shares of UEI common stock beginning immediately and continuing from time to time until May 1, 2014, the date on which the Plan terminates, subject to the market price of our common stock. This process will facilitate the orderly exercise of employee stock options and the sale of common stock for personal financial planning purposes with the goal of minimizing any market impact and avoiding any concerns about the timing of the transactions.
On December 2, 2013, UEI issued a press release regarding Mr. Arling’s trading plan. A copy of the press release is included as Exhibit 99.1 to this report.
