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 September 6, 2011. The Prior Report announced the results of the election wherein four of the nine seats on the Mohegan Tribal Council (the “Tribal Council”), the governing body of the Mohegan Tribe of Indians of Connecticut (the “Tribe”), were chosen pursuant to staggered term provisions under the Tribe’s Constitution.

The Authority is governed by a nine-member Management Board, whose members also comprise the Tribal Council. Any change in the composition and officers of the Tribal Council results in a corresponding change in the Authority’s Management Board.

The Authority is filing this Current Report on Form 8-K/A to announce that on October 3, 2011, the Chairman and other officers of the Tribal Council were determined by vote of the full Tribal Council. Pursuant to that vote, Bruce S. Bozsum will continue to serve as Chairman, Ralph James Gessner, Jr. will continue to serve as Vice Chairman, Cheryl A. Todd will serve as Recording Secretary, Kathleen M. Regan-Pyne will continue to serve as Corresponding Secretary and Thayne D. Hutchins, Jr. will continue to serve as Treasurer. The terms of office correspond to each officer’s term as a member of the Tribal Council (as detailed in the Prior Report), pursuant to the Tribe’s Constitution.

In addition, Ralph James Gessner, Jr., William Quidgeon Jr., Mark F. Brown and Thayne D. Hutchins, Jr. will all continue to serve as members of the Authority’s Audit Committee for terms corresponding to each officer’s term as a member of the Tribal Council.

Information concerning material related transactions between the new Tribal Council members and the Authority was unavailable at the date of this filing.
