Item 2.02.     Results of Operation and Financial Condition.

The information being furnished in this Item 2.02 and in Exhibit 99.1 shall not be deemed “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.

On February 25, 2019, Dorman Products, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing its operating results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 29, 2018. A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated by reference herein.

Certain statements in this document constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Federal Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including statements related to the Company’s future growth rates. Words such as “believe,” “demonstrate,” “expect,” “estimate,” “forecast,” “anticipate,” “should” and “likely” and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. In addition, statements that are not historical should also be considered forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements are based on current expectations that involve a number of known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause actual events to be materially different from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. These factors include, but are not limited to, competition in the automotive aftermarket industry, concentration of the Company’s sales and accounts receivable among a small number of customers, the impact of consolidation in the automotive aftermarket industry, foreign currency fluctuations, the ability to successfully identify, complete, and integrate acquisitions, imposition of new taxes, duties or tariffs, and other risks detailed in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 30, 2017. You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Such statements speak only as to the date on which they are made. The Company is under no obligation to (and expressly disclaims any such obligation to) update any of the information in this document if any forward-looking statement later turns out to be inaccurate whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

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

On February 21, 2019, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company approved grants of long-term equity incentive awards to the Company’s executive officers to be effective as of March 6, 2019, the seventh trading day following the date of the Company’s release of year-end financial results. The approved grants include two awards of time-based restricted stock (“2019 CEO RS Award Grants”) to Kevin Olsen, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, which contain accelerated vesting provisions. The first award, issued pursuant to Mr. Olsen’s employment agreement with the Company, has an aggregate value of $500,000 and will vest in equal installments on each of the 3rd, 4th and 5th annual anniversaries of the grant date. The second award, issued as part of Mr. Olsen’s annual equity grant, has an aggregate value of $112,500 and will vest 25% per year, beginning on the first anniversary of the grant date. The number of shares to be issued pursuant to each award will be determined by dividing the aggregate value of each award by the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the grant date, March 6, 2019. The terms of the 2019 CEO RS Award Grants mirror the


form of restricted stock award agreement previously approved by the Compensation Committee on May 10, 2018, except that the 2019 CEO RS Award Grants provide that (i) should Mr. Olsen be terminated by the Company without cause; or (ii) should Mr. Olsen terminate his employment for good reason, all unvested restricted stock will become 100% vested as of the date of termination. The form of award agreement, also approved by the Compensation Committee on February 21, 2019, to be utilized in connection with the 2019 CEO RS Award Grants (the “2019 CEO RS Award Agreement”) is filed herewith.

The foregoing is only a summary of certain terms and conditions of the 2019 CEO RS Award Agreement and is qualified in its entirety by reference to such form, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
