Item 1.01    Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On January 30, 2014, the Company entered into the Extension of Date for Prepayment of Tranche B Loan without Prepayment Premium (the "Extension Agreement"), as described below.

As previously reported, on June 29, 2012, Miller Energy Resources, Inc. (the "Company") entered into a Loan Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with Apollo Investment Corporation (“Apollo”), as Administrative Agent and Lender. The Loan Agreement provides for a credit facility of up to $100 million (the “Apollo Credit Facility”) with an initial borrowing base of $55 million. On August 5, 2013 , we entered into the Amendment No. 6 (the “Amendment”) with Apollo under the Apollo Credit Facility.
The Amendment provides for an increase of $20 million in the borrowing base under the Apollo Credit Facility (“New Availability”). Under the terms of the Amendment, this New Availability would not be subject to any pre-payment premium, so long as the full amount of the New Availability was repaid on or before January 31, 2014.
The Extension Agreement extends the latest date by which the Company may prepay the New Availability without being required to pay the otherwise applicable prepayment premium from January 31, 2014, to February 28, 2014.

The foregoing description of the terms and conditions of the Extension Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Extension Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1.
