ITEM 1.01. ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT.

On March 14, 2005, the Board of Directors of Aceto Corporation (the "Company")
adopted the Aceto Corporation Supplemental Executive Deferred Compensation Plan
(the "Plan"). The Plan is a non-qualified deferred compensation plan intended to
provide certain qualified executives with supplemental benefits beyond the
Company's 401(K) Plan, as well as to permit additional deferrals of a portion of
their compensation. The Plan is intended to comply with the provisions of
Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and is designed
to provide comparable benefits to the Company's former Supplemental Executive
Retirement Plan that was frozen as of December 31, 2004.
