CYPRESS, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 2, 2013--
Universal Electronics Inc. (UEI), (NASDAQ: UEIC) announced Paul
Arling, chairman and chief executive officer, has established a trading
plan in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act. Rule
10b5-1 permits individuals who are not then in possession of material
nonpublic information to establish prearranged plans to buy or sell
stock. The rule allows individuals 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, which are set to expire in March 2019, and to immediately sell
the underlying shares of UEI common stock beginning immediately and
continuing from time to time until the expiration date of the options,
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.
