This Current Report on Form 8-K/A is being filed by the Mohegan Tribal Gaming Authority (the “Authority”) to supplement the Authority’s Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Prior Report”), dated and filed on March 5, 2010.
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.
The Prior Report announced the selection of Marilynn R. Malerba, Chairwoman of the Tribal Council and the Authority’s Management Board, to serve as Chief of the Tribe, and the expected resignation of Ms. Malerba as Chairwoman of those two bodies. On August 15, 2010, Ms. Malerba was inducted as Chief of the Tribe.
The Authority is filing this 8-K/A to announce that, on August 16, 2010, Ms. Malerba vacated her position as member and Chairwoman of the Tribal Council and the Authority’s Management Board. Bruce S. Bozsum, Vice Chairman of the Tribal Council and the Authority’s Management Board, will assume the duties of the Chair and serve as acting Chair until the Tribal Council elects a new chairperson from among its members. As indicated in the Prior Report, the Tribe plans to hold a special election to fill the vacancy on the Tribal Council and the Authority’s Management Board created by Ms. Malerba’s departure. It is expected that the Tribal Council will elect its new chairperson after this special election.
