Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On May 29, 2015, Gold Resource Corporation (the “Company”) amended its employment agreements with certain of its executive officers, including Jason Reid, its CEO and President, to reduce the time required to give notice of intent to terminate the employment agreement to 30 days’ notice.  Subsequent to such amendments, the Company and the executives gave mutual notice that the parties did not intend to renew the current employment agreements with the effective renewal date of July 1 and instead intend to let the agreements expire pursuant to its terms on June 30, 2015.

The Company intends to enter into new employment agreements with its current executives (excluding its Interim CFO) effective July 1, 2015 substantially in the form as the Amended and Restated Executive Employment Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 (the “Amended and Restated Agreement”).  The Company desires to enter into new agreements with its executive officers to provide uniform terms and conditions regarding its executives’ employment and to modify certain compensation obligations, including reducing the severance amount payable for termination without cause for certain executives and to provide a clawback provision relating to incentive compensation.  A final execution version of the Amended and Restated Agreement will be provided in a subsequent filing.
