Item 8.01
Other Events
 
Brenton W. Hatch, Chief Executive Officer, Harold Albert, Chief Operations Officer, and Andrew W. Limpert, Chief Financial Officer (the “Officers”) of Profire Energy, Inc. (the "Company") have entered or plan to enter into a Rule 10b5 1 trading plan (the “Plans”). The Officers plan to enter into the trading plans during the Company's current open trading window. Under the Plans, the shares are expected to be sold in the open market on a quarterly basis over a one-year period, regardless of whether the Officers becomes aware of any material non-public information concerning the Company. Collectively, the Plans allow for a maximum of 2,800,000 shares to be sold by the officers, but do not obligate Officers to participate.

The Plans are intended to facilitate their long-term financial- and tax-planning objectives and to provide for an orderly liquidation of a specific portion of the officers’ shares and to increase the number of shares available to the public. Any transactions under the Plans will be publicly reported through Form 4 filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
 
The Plans are intended to comply with Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and with the Company's Policy Statement Regarding Trading in Company Securities and Compliance with Federal Securities Laws.

The establishment and participation in the Plans is not indicative of any material change in the Company’s profitability, business prospects, or the Officers’ assessment of the same.
