Item 8.01 Other Events.

On October 6, 2014, Universal Technical Institute, Inc. issued a press release reporting plans to open a new campus in Long Beach, California while restructuring the organization to better align with new, streamlined processes as well as current student populations at its existing campuses.
 
The first phase of the restructuring, completed in the fourth quarter of 2014, impacted approximately 50 employees. Severance and outplacement charges relating to this reduction will impact the fourth quarter pre-tax earnings by approximately $1.3 million and are expected to provide operating expense savings in compensation and related benefits in 2015 of approximately $5.2 million. The second phase of this restructuring, with reductions and related charges of similar magnitude, is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2015.

A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by this reference.
