Summary of GERBER SCIENTIFIC INC

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

(e) On March 10, 2009, the Board of Directors of Gerber Scientific, Inc. (the "Company"), upon the recommendation of the Management Development and Compensation Committee of the Board of the Directors, approved amendments to the Gerber Scientific, Inc. and Participating Subsidiaries Pension Plan (the "Pension Plan") and the Gerber Scientific, Inc. Participating Subsidiaries Supplemental Pension Benefit Plan (the "SERP"). Effective April 30, 2009, the amendments to the Pension Plan and the SERP freeze future benefit accruals under the plans and provide that participants in the plans will not receive credit either for eligible earnings paid after that date or for any months of service worked after that date. All accrued benefits under the Pension Plan and the SERP will remain intact, and service credits for vesting and retirement eligibility will continue in accordance with the terms of each plan.

The Pension Plan is a tax-qualified noncontributory pension plan maintained by the Company for all U.S. employees who were hired before May 1, 2004. The Company maintains the SERP to provide additional retirement benefits to its more highly paid executives in excess of the compensation limitations and maximum benefit accruals for tax-qualified plans imposed by the Internal Revenue Code. Participation in the SERP is limited to employees hired before May 1, 2004. Some of the Company's executive officers, including Marc T. Giles (President and Chief Executive Officer), James S. Arthurs (Senior Vice President, Gerber Scientific, Inc. and President, Asia Pacific) and John Hancock (Senior Vice President, Gerber Scientific, Inc. and President, Gerber Technology), participate in the Pension Plan and the SERP.
