Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Effective November 6, 2006, Enesco Group, Inc. (the "Company") amended its existing U.S. credit facility pursuant to the Thirteenth Amendment (the "Amendment") to the Second Amended and Restated Senior Revolving Credit Agreement (as amended, the "Credit Agreement") among the Company, certain borrowing subsidiaries of the Company, Bank of America, N.A. (as successor by merger to Fleet National Bank), as Agent, and certain lenders party thereto. The Amendment provides for certain material changes to the Company’s Credit Agreement as follows:

Borrowing capacity and financial covenants. The Amendment provides for periodic adjustments in the aggregate maximum borrowing amount under the credit facility. The maximum borrowing amount temporarily adjusts upwards beginning the week ending November 18, 2006 through the week ending November 25, 2006 and then periodically adjusts downward beginning the week ending December 2, 2006 through the week ending December 28, 2006. The Company's borrowing availability under the credit facility is determined pursuant to various borrowing base formulae set forth in the amended Credit Agreement, and based upon levels of inventory, accounts receivable and other assets. Pursuant to the Amendment, the Company may borrow beyond the amounts available under the borrowing base formulae. The maximum aggregate amount the Company may borrow beyond the amounts available under the borrowing base formulae ranges from approximately $5.6 million beginning the week ending November 11, 2006 to up to $10 million from and after the week ending December 2, 2006.

The Company must continue to meet certain projected cash receipt and disbursement covenants as previously established, as updated by the Amendment for the period beginning the week ending October 28, 2006 through December 29, 2006. The Company also agreed to make additional mandatory prepayments to the lenders from time to time to the extent deposits in certain accounts held by the Company exceed amounts established by the Amendment.

Financing covenants. The Amendment provides for covenants in which the Company undertakes to retain a financial advisor to assist the Company in pursuing a transaction that will result in the repayment of all Company obligations under the Credit Agreement (the "Transaction"). The Company additionally agreed to enter into a definitive agreement for a Transaction by November 30, 2006. Although the Company has retained a financial adviser to assist the Company, there can be no assurances that the Company will be successful in entering into a definitive agreement for a Transaction in a timely manner or, if entered into, consummating the Transaction. Any failure to meet the November 30th deadline as required by the Amendment would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.

Forbearance. Pursuant to the terms of the Amendment, the lenders have agreed to forbear from exercising their rights and enforcing the remedies available to them under the Credit Agreement as a result of current continuing events of default by the Company. The forbearance will terminate on December 29, 2006, or earlier if the Company fails to comply with certain covenants, including any failure to comply with the terms of the Amendment, or upon the occurrence of certain events, including any material adverse change in the Company’s business or financial condition.

A copy of the Amendment will be filed as an exhibit to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006. A copy of the Company's press release announcing its entry into the Amendment is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
