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

     Effective March 31, 2010, the Board of Directors of PostRock Energy Corporation (“PostRock”), upon the recommendation of the Compensation Committee, adopted the PostRock Energy Corporation Management Incentive Program (the “Bonus Plan”) for the benefit of certain of its employees. The Bonus Plan designates a group of employees who may be eligible to receive cash awards under PostRock’s 2010 Long-Term Incentive Plan and establishes performance goals related to such cash awards. All of PostRock’s current executive officers participate in the Bonus Plan. The performance goals under the Bonus Plan for 2010 (with target weight) for executive officers consist of goals related to health, safety and environmental measures (10% in the aggregate), production (20%), lease operating expense (25%), refinancing strategic initiatives (20%) and acquisition activity (25%). Target bonuses payable for 2010 for each of David Lawler, Jack Collins and Tom Saunders are 50% of base salary and for each of the other executive officers is 35% of base salary. The maximum bonus equals approximately two times the target bonus. There are different performance criteria for non-managerial/non-professional staff and managerial/professional staff.

     A proposed cash award may be reduced or totally eliminated in the discretion of PostRock’s Chief Executive Officer or the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. Neither the Chief Executive Officer nor the Board of Directors has the ability to increase the amount of a cash award.

     A copy of the Bonus Plan is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
