W. Edward Nichols gave written notice of his resignation from the Board of Directors of Bakken Resources, Inc. (the Company) by letter dated March 12, 2015. A copy of Mr. Nichols resignation letter is attached as an exhibit to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1. Mr. Nichols was Chair and the sole member of the Companys audit committee.
Mr. Nichols, in his capacity as chair of the Companys audit committee, was investigating certain matters relating to the Company. Independent of such investigation, the Company became aware of certain facts and events that caused the Companys disinterested directors and management to question the independence of such investigation. Accordingly, the Company, through its outside corporate and securities counsel, communicated its intention to seek Mr. Nichols removal from the audit committee. A copy of such communication from the Companys counsel and an affidavit from the Companys Chief Financial Officer attached to such communication is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.2.
A special independent investigator has been retained by the Company to continue the investigation initiated by the Companys audit committee. The Company intends to make all necessary announcements and take appropriate actions following the results of the special independent investigation.
