Item 8.01

Other Events

Effective March 15, 2012, BREP I, a Pennsylvania limited real estate partnership, entered into a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan (the “Plan”) with a broker to manage the sale of up to 164,200 shares of the common stock of Dorman Products, Inc. (the “Company”), subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan. The Plan will expire on March 15, 2013, unless renewed, extended, or terminated before the date of expiration. The Plan allows BREP I, of which the estate of the late Richard N. Berman, the Company’s former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, is a partner, to monetize its 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.

Steven L. Berman, the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, shares voting and dispositive power with certain other family members, including the estate of the late Richard N. Berman, with respect to the shares held by BREP I.

BREP I will not have control over the timing of stock sales under the Plan, thereby allowing trades to occur exempt from the “blackout periods” prescribed by the Company’s insider trading policy. Any transactions under the Plan will be reported by the partnership through Rule 144 filings and by Steven L. Berman through Form 4 filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, as appropriate.

The Plan is intended to satisfy the affirmative defense conditions of Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. 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.
