ITEM 5.02

DEPARTURE OF DIRECTORS OR PRINCIPAL OFFICERS; ELECTION OF

DIRECTORS; APPOINTMENT OF PRINCIPAL OFFICERS

(b)

Effective May 29, 2015, the board of directors of Abakan Inc. (the “Company”) terminated

Costas Takkas as its chief financial officer and principal accounting officer.

(c)

Effective May 29, 2015, the board of directors appointed Robert H. Miller as its chief financial

officer and principal accounting officer. Mr. Miller is sixty two (62) years old.

Mr. Miller brings to his new position seasoned management skills and a keen familiarity with accounting

requirements having over 30 years of investment experience in several business ventures. He has also

served as the Company’s chief executive officer and as a director since December 8, 2009, earning him a

comprehensive familiarity with its business activities. Mr. Miller served as a director and officer of

Sonnen Corporation, a company once involved in the research and development of a novel process for

energy generation consisting of specific materials and proprietary material combinations from June 16,

2009, and July 27, 2009, respectively until May 1, 2014. Since 2007, Mr. Miller has served as a director

of Lifespan Biosciences Inc., a company commercializing proprietary antibodies, providing immune

histochemistry services and developing localization databases.

Mr. Miller has a consulting agreement with the Company in connection with the services he renders as an

executive officer. The compensatory terms of the consulting agreement are comprised solely of a base

salary. However, the Company does intend to enter into an employment agreement with Mr. Miller to

reflect his position as chief executive officer, chief financial officer and principal accounting officer. The

compensatory terms of any new employment agreement would most likely be comprised of a base salary,

options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock, and a retention award, in addition to health,

disability and life benefits.

Mr. Miller has not entered into any arrangement or understanding with any other persons in connection

with his appointment as the Company’s chief financial officer and principal accounting officer.

Mr. Miller is not related to any director, executive officer or person nominated or chosen by the Company

to become a director or executive officer.

Since the beginning of its last fiscal year, Mr. Miller has not entered into a related transaction with the

Company in connection with his service as an officer and director.
