On February 3, 2015, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of Universal Technical Institute, Inc. (the Company) approved the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP (Deloitte) as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2015 and interim quarterly periods beginning with the three months ending March 31, 2015.

Deloitte's formal engagement as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm will commence immediately.
During the fiscal years ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, and the subsequent interim period through and including February 3, 2015, neither the Company, nor anyone on its behalf, has consulted Deloitte regarding: (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s financial statements, and neither a written report nor oral advice was provided to the Company that Deloitte concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to any accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or (ii) any matter that was the subject of a disagreement (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions) or any reportable event (as described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).
