ITEM 1.01. ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT.
On December 13, 2005, the Board of Directors of Bob Evans Farms,
Inc. (the "Company") approved an amendment to the Bob Evans Farms, Inc. and
Affiliates Second Amended and Restated Executive Deferral Program (the "BEEDP").
The BEEDP provides deferred compensation to a select group of the Company's
management or highly compensated employees. Section 409A of the Internal Revenue
Code, adopted pursuant to The American Jobs Creation Act of 2004, imposes severe
restrictions on amounts, including participants' deferrals and amounts funded by
employers, that are credited to or vest under a nonqualified deferred
compensation arrangement after December 31, 2004. The amendment to the BEEDP
allows BEEDP participants to revoke any deferral election made under Section
3.01 of the BEEDP for the 2005 plan year.
