Common Stock Repurchases

8. Common Stock Repurchases

We periodically repurchase, at the then current market price, and cancel common stock issued to the Dorman Products, Inc. 401(k) Retirement Plan and Trust (the “401(k) Plan”). Shares are generally purchased from the 401(k) Plan when participants sell units as permitted by the 401(k) Plan or elect to leave the 401(k) Plan upon retirement, termination or other reasons. For the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 2013, we repurchased and cancelled 26,600 shares of common stock at an average price of $35.41 per share. During the fifty-two weeks ended December 29, 2012, we repurchased and cancelled 70,208 shares of common stock at an average price of $27.68 per share.
