As previously reported, Mr. Allan Gilmour resigned as director of Universal Technical Institute, Inc. (the "Company") on September 3, 2010, effective immediately to join Wayne State University as its interim president. Mr. Gilmour had been a member of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company. As a result of Mr. Gilmour’s resignation, the Company received a notice from NYSE Regulation, Inc. on September 9, 2010 stating that the Company was not in compliance with Section 303A.07(a) of the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") Listed Company Manual, which requires that audit committees be comprised of at least three independent directors. On September 14, 2010, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the selection of A. Richard Caputo, Jr., an existing eligible director and former member of the Audit Committee, as a new member of the Audit Committee to replace Mr. Gilmour which brought the Company into compliance with the requirement of Section 303A.07(a) of the NYSE Listed Company Manual.
