Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Agreement.

On February 5, 2007, Reptron Electronics, Inc., (the “Company”), Kimball Electronics Manufacturing, Inc., (“Kimball”), and Gator Electronics, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Kimball (“Merger Sub”) entered into an amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), dated as of December 18, 2006, by and among the Company, Kimball and Merger Sub. The Amendment provides for an increase in the aggregate consideration to be received by the Company’s stockholders pursuant to the Merger Agreement from $0.68 to $0.75 per share in cash. In addition, the Amendment provides that each in-the-money option (an option with an exercise price lower than $0.75 per share) to purchase our common stock outstanding as of the effective time of the merger, whether vested or unvested, will be terminated in consideration for a cash payment equal to the excess of $0.75 over the exercise price for the option multiplied by the number of shares subject to the option.

The foregoing description of the Amendment is qualified in its entirety by the terms of the Amendment, which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 to, and incorporated by reference in, this Current Report on Form 8-K.

Item 8.01 Other Events.

On February 5, 2007, the Company issued a press release announcing that the Company, Kimball and Merger Sub had entered into the Amendment and that the date, time and place of the Special Meeting of Stockholders is unchanged and is scheduled to be held on February 12, 2007 at 8:00 a.m. Eastern Time at the Company’s headquarters in Tampa Florida.

In addition, the Company announced the expiration of its cash tender offer and consent solicitation at 5:00 p.m. New York City Time on February 2, 2006 (the “Expiration Date”) and final results of the tender offer and consent solicitation. As of the Expiration Date, holders of $25,253,448 in aggregate principal amount of the Senior Secured Notes, representing 84.18% in principal amount of the outstanding notes, had been tendered. Kimball waived the 97% minimum tender condition as a condition to the merger from 97% to 84% and the Company waived the 97% minimum tender condition of the tender offer.

The full text of the press release, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1, is incorporated herein by reference.

Important Additional Information.

The Company plans to file a Supplement (the “Supplement”) to the Proxy Statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and mail the Supplement to its shareholders. The Supplement will contain information about Kimball, the Company, the Amendment and the proposed merger and related matters. Shareholders are urged to read the Supplement and proxy statement carefully when the Supplement is available, as it will contain important information that shareholders should consider before making a decision about the Merger. In addition to receiving the Supplement and the proxy statement from the Company by mail, shareholders will also be able to obtain the Supplement and the proxy statement, as well as other filings containing information about the Company, without charge, from the Securities and Exchange Commission’s website (http://www.sec.gov) or, without charge, from the Company.

The Company and its directors, executive officers, other members of its management, and employees may be deemed to be participants in the solicitation of proxies from the Company’s shareholders in favor of the Merger. Information regarding persons who may be deemed participants in the solicitation and any interests that those persons may have in the transaction will be set forth in the proxy statement.

Forward Looking Statements.
