Item 8.01 Other Events

Rule 10b5-1 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 permits an individual who is not then in possession of material nonpublic information to establish a prearranged plan to buy or sell stock. The rule allows an individual to buy or sell shares of stock at a specific price in the future, regardless of any subsequent material nonpublic information.

William C. Mulligan, a member of the Board of Directors of Universal Electronics Inc., has established a trading plan in accordance with Rule 10b5-1. Under the plan, Mr. Mulligan intends to sell no more than 18,000 shares of Universal Electronics common stock until November 10, 2010 from time to time, subject to certain specified price limits. These shares were issued to him as part of his compensation as an outside director. This plan will facilitate the orderly sale of common stock for Mr. Mulligan’s personal financial planning purposes with the goal of minimizing any market impact and avoiding any concerns about the timing of the transactions.

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned thereunto duly authorized.
