Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On August 31, 2011, BMB Munai, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), entered into the First Amendment and Waiver to the Participation Interest Purchase Agreement (the “Amendment”) by and among Palaeontol B.V., a company organized under the Laws of the Netherlands (“Purchaser”), the Company, and MIE Holdings Corporation, an exempted company with limited liability organized under the Laws of the Cayman Islands (“Parent”).  The Amendment amends the previously disclosed Participation Interest Purchase Agreement, dated February 14, 2011, by and among Purchaser, the Company and Parent (the “Agreement” and, together with the Amendment, the “Purchase Agreement”) to, among other things: (i) eliminate the post-closing transition services arrangement concept, which the parties have determined is no longer necessary; (ii) change the previously contemplated escrow agent to be Citibank, N.A., Hong Kong Branch, and the form of escrow agreement to be used in connection with the transaction; (iii) provide for the delivery into escrow, in advance of the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Agreement and in conjunction with the Company’s submission with the appropriate Kazakhstan governmental authorities of the documents necessary to effect the sale of Emir-Oil LLC (“Emir”) to Purchaser, of all of the funds to be delivered to the Company by Purchaser at the closing; (iv) waive two of Purchaser’s conditions to closing that would have required the Company to (x) obtain insurance for the transportation and storage of cargo prior to completing the transaction, and (y) provide documentary evidence of Emir’s ownership of gas utilization facilities, electricity lines, gas pipelines and oil pipelines prior to completing the transaction; and (v) update to their final forms the opinions to be delivered by the Company’s counsel at closing. The Company has also agreed in the Amendment to provide the documentary evidence of Emir’s ownership of the assets described above within three months of the closing date of the transaction.  In addition, the Company has exercised its right under the Agreement to extend until November 14, 2011, the date upon which the parties may terminate the Purchase Agreement for convenience.

The foregoing summary description of the Amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Amendment, a copy of which is filed herewith as Exhibit 2.1. The terms of the Agreement were described in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 18, 2011, and the Agreement was filed therewith as Exhibit 2.1.
