Explanatory Note
 
This Current Report on Form 8-K/A (“Amendment No. 1”) amends the Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 25, 2012 (the “Initial Filing”) by The Management Network Group, Inc. (the “Company”).
 
This Amendment No. 1 is being filed pursuant to Item 5.02(a)(3)(iii) of Form 8-K in order to: (1) update certain information under Item 5.02 of the Initial Filing, and (2) file as an exhibit a letter received from Richard P. Nespola pursuant to the opportunity to respond to the Initial Filing granted to him under Item 5.02(a)(3)(ii) of Form 8-K. The information contained in this Amendment No. 1 supplements the information contained in Items 5.02, 5.07 and 9.01 of the Initial Filing. Otherwise, the Initial Filing is restated herein in its entirety.
 
Item 5.02  Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers

On October 11, 2012, the Company received a letter from Richard P. Nespola (the “Response Letter”) stating that he disagreed with statements in the Initial Filing regarding the circumstances of his resignation as a director. A copy of the Response Letter is attached hereto as Exhibit 17.2, and is incorporated herein by reference.
 
    As noted in the Initial Filing, Mr. Nespola resigned as a director one day prior to the scheduled special meeting of stockholders of the Company, which was called to consider his removal as a director of the Company, without cause. Prior to the Company's receipt of Mr. Nespola's Resignation Letter, the Company informed Mr. Nespola that it had received sufficient proxies from the Company's stockholders to remove Mr. Nespola as a director. At the meeting of stockholders held on September 20, 2012, which was promptly adjourned due to Mr. Nespola's resignation less than 24 hours before the meeting, the holders of a majority of the Company's outstanding shares, by a significant margin, continued to support the removal of Mr. Nespola as a director.

Notwithstanding the circumstances surrounding Mr. Nespola's resignation, occurring shortly before his scheduled removal, the Board of Directors has authorized and directed the Audit Committee to seek additional information from Mr. Nespola regarding the allegations made in his Resignation Letter which he has stated were the reasons for his resignation, to investigate any of the allegations to the extent it determines that an investigation is warranted based upon any additional information provided by Mr. Nespola or otherwise and to report its findings to the full Board of Directors with regard to any action that may be appropriate.

Mr. Nespola has added various conclusory allegations of wrongdoing in the Response Letter. The current directors and the Secretary of the Company have informed the Company that they strongly deny these allegations of wrongdoing.
