Section 5 Corporate Governance and Management
Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

The Mohegan Tribal Gaming Authority (the “Authority”) is governed by a nine-member Management Board, whose members also comprise the Mohegan Tribal Council (the “Tribal Council”), the governing body of the Mohegan Tribe of Indians of Connecticut (the “Tribe”). Any change in the composition of the Tribal Council results in a corresponding change in the Authority’s Management Board. The registered voters of the Tribe elect all members of the Tribal Council.

On August 30, 2011, the Tribe announced the results of its general election wherein four of the nine seats on the Tribal Council were chosen pursuant to staggered term provisions under the Tribe’s Constitution. Thayne D. Hutchins, Jr., Mark F. Brown, Cheryl A. Todd and Mark M. Sperry were elected as members of the Tribal Council. Each of the newly elected Tribal Council members will serve four-year terms, commencing October 3, 2011.

Thayne D. Hutchins, Jr., Mark F. Brown and Cheryl A. Todd are currently members of the Tribal Council. Mark M. Sperry will succeed Allison D. Johnson, who will remain as a member of the Tribal Council until her successor is seated on October 3, 2011. Information concerning material related transactions between the newly elected Tribal Council members and the Authority, as well as information regarding the committees of the Authority’s Management Board that the newly elected Tribal Council members will be named to after they are seated, was unavailable at the date of this filing.
