Item 8.01 Other Events.

On December 14, 2005, Enesco Group, Inc. signed a commitment letter with LaSalle Business Credit, LLC to arrange a new $75 million senior secured credit facility. If entered into, the new credit facility with LaSalle will have a term of five years and will replace the Company’s existing credit facility with Bank of America, as successor to Fleet National Bank, and LaSalle Bank. As the Administrative Agent, LaSalle expects to form a syndicate of financial institutions to participate in the new credit facility. The commitment letter contains a number of conditions that must be satisfied in order for the facility to be closed, including the Company having a minimum availability of at least $10 million at the time of closing; the lender’s completion of its final due diligence with respect to the Company and its subsidiaries; the negotiation and execution of a definitive credit agreement; there being no material adverse change in the Company’s business, assets, liabilities, properties, condition (financial or otherwise); results of operations or prospects of the Company and it subsidiaries since December 31, 2004; there being no material disruption or material adverse change in financial, banking or capital markets generally affecting credit facilities; and various appraisals, as well as other standard and customary conditions. Enesco must close on the new credit facility on or before January 31, 2006.

Enesco currently is negotiating an extension of the maturity under its current credit facility through January 1, 2007.

The press release announcing the commitment letter with LaSalle Business Credit and negotiations to extend the maturity under its current credit facility is attached as Exhibit 99.1.
