Item 8.01Other Events
On January 17, 2006, Discover Card Master Trust I (the “Trust”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) an asset backed issuer distribution report on Form 10-D attaching, as exhibits, Monthly Certificateholders’ Statements for the December 2005 distribution period with respect to each publicly issued series of certificates issued by the Trust and currently outstanding. These Monthly Certificateholders’ Statements, which are required under the Trust’s governing documents and the series supplements thereto, were formerly filed with the Commission on a monthly basis as exhibits to Form 8-K. In contemplation of the requirements under Regulation AB, the Trust will, beginning with the report related to the December 2005 distribution period, file such statements as exhibits to Form 10-D rather than as exhibits to Form 8-K.
