Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On April 25, 2024, Universal Logistics Holdings, Inc. (“ULH,” “we,” or “our”) issued a press release announcing its financial and operating results for the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 2024, a copy of which is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 8-K.

Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

We held our 2024 Annual Meeting of Shareholders on April 24, 2024. At the Annual Meeting, our shareholders approved the Universal Logistics Holdings, Inc. 2024 Equity Incentive Plan, which replaces the Universal Logistics Holdings, Inc. 2014 Amended and Restated Stock Option and Incentive Plan. Outstanding awards granted under the prior plan will continue to be governed by the terms of the prior plan, but no awards may be made under the prior plan after April 24, 2024. Under the new plan, we reserved 750,000 shares of our common stock for awards we intend to grant under the new plan. Officers, directors, employees, and consultants who provide services to us are eligible to participate in the new plan.

We included a description of the material terms of the new plan in our Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 29, 2024, and mailed to our shareholders commencing on or about March 29, 2024 in connection with the Annual Meeting. The description of the new plan in the Proxy Statement is incorporated by reference into this Item 5.02 of this Current Report on Form 8-K. The foregoing summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the new plan, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

Also on April 24, 2024, our Board of Directors approved the form of our equity award agreements for grants of non-qualified stock options and restricted stock awards issued under the new plan. The forms of these agreements are filed as Exhibits 10.2 and 10.3 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
