<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Section&nbsp;145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware grants each corporation
organized thereunder the power to indemnify any person who is or was a director, officer, employee
or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at its request as a director, officer, employee
or agent of another corporation or enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees),
judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in
connection with any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil,
criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the
corporation), by reason of being or having been in any such capacity, if he acted in good faith and
in a manner reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation,
and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his
conduct was unlawful. Section&nbsp;102(b)(7) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware
enables a corporation in its certificate of incorporation or an amendment thereto validly approved
by stockholders to limit or eliminate the personal liability of its board of directors for
violations of the directors&#146; fiduciary duty of care.

indemnify its officers and directors to the full extent permitted by applicable law and that such
indemnification shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which any person indemnified
may be entitled by law or otherwise. In addition, Article&nbsp;XII of the Restated Certificate of
Incorporation of the Company limits the personal liability of its Board of Directors for a breach
of the fiduciary duty of care.

    <TD>Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be
permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the
foregoing provisions described under Item&nbsp;6 above, or otherwise, the registrant has been
advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is
against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore,
unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other
than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or
controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the
securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the
matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as
expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such
issue.</TD>

INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT

The following documents of Universal Electronics Inc. (the "Company"), previously filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission"), are incorporated herein by reference:
1.
the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31,

0-21044),
other than the portions of such documents, which by statute, by designation in such document or

All documents filed by the Company pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 after the date of this Registration Statement, prior to the filing of a
post-effective amendment which indicates that all securities offered have been sold or which

Item 4. Description of Securities
Not applicable.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel
Not applicable.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware grants each corporation
organized thereunder the power to indemnify any person who is or was a director, officer, employee
or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at its request as a director, officer, employee
or agent of another corporation or enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys' fees),
judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in
connection with any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil,
criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the
corporation), by reason of being or having been in any such capacity, if he acted in good faith and
in a manner reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation,
and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his
conduct was unlawful. Section 102(b)(7) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware
enables a corporation in its certificate of incorporation or an amendment thereto validly approved
by stockholders to limit or eliminate the personal liability of its board of directors for
violations of the directors' fiduciary duty of care.
Article Seventh of the Restated Certificate of Incorporation of Universal Electronics Inc., as
amended, and Article XII of its Amended and Restated By-laws provide that the Company shall
indemnify its officers and directors to the full extent permitted by applicable law and that such
indemnification shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which any person indemnified
may be entitled by law or otherwise. In addition, Article XII of the Restated Certificate of
Incorporation of the Company limits the personal liability of its Board of Directors for a breach
of the fiduciary duty of care.
The Company has obtained liability insurance on behalf of its directors and officers which provides
coverage for certain liabilities and expenses incurred by each director and officer in his capacity
as such including certain liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933.
The effect of the foregoing provisions of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, the
Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, and the Company's Amended and Restated By-Laws
would be to permit such indemnification by the Company for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act of 1933.
Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed
Not applicable.
Item 8. Exhibits
See the Exhibit Index at Page E-1 of this Registration Statement.
Item 9. Undertakings
A.
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1)
To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:
(i)
to include any prospectus required by Section
10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
(ii)
to reflect in the prospectus any facts or
events arising after the effective date of the Registration Statement
(or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which,
individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the
information set forth in the Registration Statement. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered
(if the total dollar value of securities offered
would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from
the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be
reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission
pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume
and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum
aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of
Registration Fee" table in the effective Registration Statement;
(iii)
to include any material information with
respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the
Registration Statement or any material change to such information in
the Registration Statement;
provided, however
, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the
Registration Statement is on Form S-8 and the information required to be included in
a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports
filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to Sections 13
or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference
in the Registration Statement.
(2)
That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of
1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration
statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such
securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide
offering thereof.
(3)
To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the
securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
B.
The undersigned registrant undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under
the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to Sections
13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of
an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement shall be deemed
to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide
offering
thereof.
C.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be
permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the
foregoing provisions described under Item 6 above, or otherwise, the registrant has been
advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is
against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore,
unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other
than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or
controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the
securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the
matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as
expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such
issue.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the Registrant certifies that it has
reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-8 and has
duly caused this Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto
duly authorized, in the City of Cypress, State of California, this 27th day of March, 2008.
