Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On May 16, 2014, at the Company’s 2014 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, the shareholders of Dorman Products, Inc. (the “Company”) approved the materials terms of performance goals that may apply to awards under the Company’s Executive Cash Bonus Plan and the Company’s 2008 Stock Option and Stock Incentive Plan. The terms approved update the performance goals previously contained in the Company’s Executive Cash Bonus Plan and the Company’s 2008 Stock Option and Stock Incentive Plan. The approval of the material terms of the performance goals was submitted for shareholder approval in order to enable the Company to continue to have shareholder-approved arrangements under which certain compensation awarded to executives may qualify as performance-based compensation for purposes of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Approval of the material terms of the performance goals under the Company’s Executive Cash Bonus Plan and the Company’s 2008 Stock Option and Stock Incentive Plan also constituted approval of amendments providing for these updated performance goals to each of the Company’s Executive Cash Bonus Plan and the Company’s 2008 Stock Option and Stock Incentive Plan.

For a description of the material terms of the performance goals that may apply to awards under the Company’s Executive Cash Bonus Plan and the Company’s 2008 Stock Option and Stock Incentive Plan, see the summary thereof under Proposal III in the proxy statement for the Company’s 2014 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, which description is incorporated herein by reference, and the text of the amendments to each of the Company’s Executive Cash Bonus Plan and the Company’s 2008 Stock Option and Stock Incentive Plan filed herewith as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2.
