Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On January 17, 2006, Enesco Group, Inc. entered into Change in Control Agreements with Anthony G. Testolin and Koreen A. Ryan, respectively. The Company’s Board of Directors approved the executives entering into a Change in Control Agreement based on the Board’s periodic review of Enesco’s senior executives who have not entered into such an agreement. The Form of Change in Control Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

Under each change in control agreement, following a change in control, the employee is entitled to both (i) a severance benefit, payable upon or before termination for any reason (other than death, disability, retirement, termination for substantial cause or voluntary termination without good reason) occurring within two years following a change in control of Enesco, of up to two times the employee’s annual base salary rate plus bonus and (ii) fringe benefits, to the extent the employee was a participant in such benefits prior to the employee’s termination, for up to a two-year term. The types of events constituting a change in control under these agreements include those that require reporting under Item 6(e) of Schedule 14A of Regulation 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and certain other events specified in the change in control agreements.
