Item 8.01 Other Events

On December 10, 2010, each of Richard N. Berman, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of Dorman Products, Inc. (the “Company”), and Steven L. Berman, the President and director of the Company and brother of Richard Berman, entered into a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan (the “Plan”) with a broker to manage the sale of up to 250,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan. Jordan S. Berman, the father of Richard and Steven Berman, also entered into a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan with a broker for the sale of up to 100,000 shares of Company stock. Each Plan expires on December 9, 2011, unless renewed, extended, or terminated earlier.

None of the Bermans will have control over the timing of stock sales under his respective Plan, thereby allowing trades to occur exempt from “blackout periods” prescribed by the Company’s Insider Trading Policy. Any transactions by Richard or Steven Berman under their respective plans will be reported through individual Form 4 filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, as appropriate and each of the Bermans filed a Form 144 with respect to their proposed sales.

Each Plan is intended to satisfy the affirmative defense conditions of Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Rule 10b5-1 allows corporate insiders to establish prearranged written stock plans. A Rule 10b5-1 plan must be entered into in good faith at a time when the insider is not aware of material, nonpublic information.

Each of the Bermans has stated that his trading plan is designed to allow him to monetize a portion of his equity position in a systematic, nondiscretionary manner with the goal of minimal market impact and compliance with regulations adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Bermans may consider additional sales of shares, including by alternative means, in the future.
