<div style="TEXT-ALIGN: left; TEXT-INDENT: 27pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', serif; FONT-SIZE: 11pt">On April 18, 2013, Kadant Inc.

In this Form 8-K, the Company indicated that, to the extent necessary, the financial statements required by Item 9.01(a) of Form 8-K and the pro forma financial information required by Item 9.01(b) of Form 8-K would be filed by amendment to the Form 8-K within 71 calendar days.</div>

Accordingly, the Company hereby amends the Form 8-K filed on April 18, 2013 to eliminate the references to the subsequent filing of financial statements and pro forma financial information relating to the acquisition.</div>
