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 d/b/a Mohegan Gaming & Entertainment (“MGE”) 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 MGE’s Management Board. The registered voters of the Tribe elect all members of the Tribal Council.

On August 25, 2019, the Tribe announced the results of the general election wherein four of the nine seats on the Tribal Council were chosen pursuant to staggered term provisions in the Tribe’s Constitution. Thayne D. Hutchins, Jr., Joseph Soper, John Gerry Harris and Patricia A. LaPierre were elected as members of the Tribal Council. Each of these elected Tribal Council members will serve a four-year term, commencing October 7, 2019.

Thayne D. Hutchins, Jr. is currently a member of the Tribal Council. Joseph Soper, John Gerry Harris and Patricia A. LaPierre will succeed Cheryl A. Todd, Mark F. Brown and Joseph W. Smith, who will remain as members of the Tribal Council until their successors are seated on October 7, 2019. MGE is not aware of any material related transactions between the newly elected Tribal Council members and MGE. Information regarding the committees of the Management Board to which the newly elected Tribal Council members are named will be provided after the members are seated on any such committees.
