<P>Item 1.01    Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement</P>
</B>
<P>On February 13, 2006, Gerber Scientific, Inc. (the "Company") executed a First Amendment (the "Amendment") to the Company's Loan and Security Agreement dated October 31, 2005 (the "Credit Agreement") with Citizens Bank of Massachusetts and Sovereign Bank.  The Amendment, which was effective as of January 31, 2006, deleted as an event of default under the Credit Agreement the occurrence of a Material Adverse Effect, as defined in the Credit Agreement, thereby eliminating the sole subjective acceleration clause from the Credit Agreement.  A copy of the Amendment is attached as Exhibit 10.1 and is hereby incorporated by reference.</P>

<P>As a result of the Amendment, the Company expects that it will classify approximately $34.0 million of amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement as long-term debt on the Company's consolidated balance sheet as of January&nbsp;31, 2006.  These amounts outstanding would have been required to be classified as a current liability due to the existence of the subjective acceleration clause in effect before the Amendment.</P>
