Item 1.02 Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement

On September 11, 2015, Miller Energy Resources, Inc. (the “Company”) terminated the Credit Agreement, dated as of June 2, 2014, among the Company, as borrower, KeyBank, as administrative agent, and the lenders party thereto by paying all amounts outstanding thereunder in full and notifying KeyBank that it was terminating the remaining Commitments.

Item 5.02 Departure of Certain Officers; Election of Certain Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers

On September 16, 2015, Governor Bill Richardson resigned as a member of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”). Governor Richardson, who had served on the Board since April of 2014, indicated that his resignation came as a result of possible back surgery and a need to reduce business commitments. There was no disagreement between us and Governor Richardson on any matter that caused his resignation.

At a special meeting of the Board held on September 16, 2015, the Board approved an increase in the salary of Mr. Leland Tate, the Company’s Interim Chief Operating Officer, to $430,000.00 per year. The increase in salary will be effective retroactively, accruing from the date Mr. Tate was appointed Interim Chief Operating Officer, which occurred on August 6, 2015. The Board noted that the increase was due to an increase in responsibilities in his new role, his effectiveness in that role since accepting it and based in its expectation that Mr. Tate’s overall total compensation would be in line with similarly situated officers in Alaska.
