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

        On December 15, 2006, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Gehl Company (the “Company”) amended the Gehl Company Retirement Income Plan “B” to freeze benefit accruals under the plan for the Company’s executive officers, effective January 1, 2007 (the “Freeze Amendment”). The Freeze Amendment was undertaken pending the results of nondiscrimination testing by the plan’s actuaries in early 2007. In addition, the Board amended the executive officers’ supplemental retirement benefit agreements to increase the benefit payable under such agreements, so as to make whole the executive officers for any benefits lost as a result of the Freeze Amendment. As a result, the executive officers should have no net change in benefits as a result of the Freeze Amendment and the related amendment to the supplemental retirement benefit agreements.
