Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
     On January 12, 2006, Insteel Industries, Inc. and certain of its affiliates entered into that certain Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated January 12, 2006 (the “Amended and Restated Agreement”), by and among Insteel Wire Products Company, as Borrower, Insteel Industries, Inc., as a Credit Party, Intercontinental Metals Corporation, as a Credit Party, and General Electric Capital Corporation, as Agent and Lender. The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and by this reference made a part hereof.
     The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement increases the commitment amount of the revolving credit facility from $75 million to $100 million and extends the maturity date by two years to June 2010.

As of January 12, 2006, there were no borrowings outstanding on the revolving credit facility.
