Item 8.01 Other Events


On November 16, 2005, MBNA Canada Bank ("MBNA Canada"), a wholly owned foreign bank subsidiary of MBNA America Bank, N.A., located in Canada, completed the securitization of CAD$300.0 million of three-year credit card asset backed notes. MBNA America Bank, N.A. is a wholly owned subsidiary of MBNA Corporation. MBNA Canada transferred credit card receivables to Gloucester Credit Card Trust which issued Series 2005-1. The transaction had two classes of publicly traded securities (Class A and Collateral).

Series 2005-1 consists of CAD$253.5 million Class A fixed rate asset backed notes and CAD$46.5 million Collateral fixed rate notes. The Collateral notes are subordinate to the Class A asset backed notes. The three-year 4.004% Class A notes and the three-year 4.374% Collateral notes were priced at par. Interest on the Class A notes and the Collateral notes will be paid semi-annually.

MBNA Canada retained ownership of the credit card accounts which generated the receivables and will act as servicing agent for Series 2005-1. The securities are governed by Canadian law.
