Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

        On July 11, 2008, Gehl Company (the “Company”) amended the term of its existing asset securitization facility (the “2006 Securitization Facility”) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and certain of its affiliates (“JPMorgan Chase”). Under the 2006 Securitization Facility, the Company may sell, through a revolving facility, retail and fleet installment sale contracts acquired from its U.S. dealers. The July 11, 2008 amendment extends the liquidity termination date of the 2006 Securitization Facility from July 11, 2008 to September 9, 2008 (the “Liquidity Termination Date”). The Liquidity Termination Date is the date each year the Company must renew the backup bank purchase commitment provided either by JPMorgan Chase or other investors. The Company remains in full compliance with all 2006 Securitization Facility covenants. The Company believes the 2006 Securitization Facility, as amended, remains an important component of its overall liquidity.
