Item 1.03 Bankruptcy or Receivership.

On February 15, 2007, the United States Bankruptcy Court overseeing the Company's Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings approved the sale of substantially all the assets of Enesco Group, Inc. (the "Company") to an affiliate of Tinicum Capital Partners II, L.P. ("Tinicum") as further described in Item 2.01 below





Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

On February 15, 2007, the Company completed the sale of substantially all of its assets to EGI Acquisition, LLC (to be known as Enesco, LLC, the "Purchaser"), a privately held company affiliated with Tinicum. The sale was made pursuant to the terms of the previously announced Asset Purchase Agreement, as amended, among the Company, certain subsidiaries of the Company named therein, and Purchaser, following the approval of the United States Bankruptcy Court overseeing the Company’s Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings.

The consideration paid for the Company's business, operations and assets consisted of the forgiveness of all amounts due under the Company's senior secured debtor-in-possession financing facility and certain other obligations owed to Tinicum and its affiliates, the assumption of certain Company liabilities, and the establishment of a $700,000 cash wind-down fund.

The Company expects to file a plan of liquidation with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court that will provide for the payment of the Company's bankruptcy-related expenses, the distribution of any residual funds to the remaining creditors and the dissolution of the Company. It is expected that any dissolution will result in the cancellation of the Company's common stock without any distribution to the Company's stockholders.





Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

As of the closing of the sale of the Company's assets to EGI Acquisition, LLC, all executive officers of the Company effectively resigned from the Company except Marie Meisenbach Graul, the Company's Chief Financial Officer.
