Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
     On April 19, 2006, Transcat, Inc. (“Transcat’) entered into an Amended and Restated Agreement for Severance Upon Change in Control (the “Amended and Restated CIC”) with Carl E. Sassano, Transcat’s Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, and Charles P. Hadeed, Transcat’s Chief Operating Officer, Vice President of Finance and Chief Financial Officer. The Amended and Restated CIC amends and restates the Agreement for Severance Upon Change in Control that each of Mr. Sasssano and Mr. Hadeed entered into with Transcat on or about February 12, 2004 (the “CIC”). The form of CIC was previously filed as Exhibit 10.1 to Transcat’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 27, 2004.
     The purpose of the Amended and Restated CIC, which supercedes the CIC, is to provide compliance with 409A of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) and to provide the employee the option to elect (at his discretion) to modify payments made to the employee in the event of termination of employment due to a change in control in a manner that serves to reduce payments that would constitute “parachute payments” pursuant to Section 280G of the Code.
     The description of the Amended and Restated CIC in this Item 1.01 is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the form of Amended and Restated CIC, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Form 8-K.
