STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">On December&nbsp;17, 2012, Gulfport Energy Corporation (&#147;Gulfport&#148;) entered into a purchase and sale agreement (the &#147;PSA&#148;), with Windsor Ohio, LLC (&#147;Windsor Ohio&#148;), which is
an affiliate of Wexford Capital LP, pursuant to which Windsor Ohio has agreed to sell, assign, transfer and convey to Gulfport approximately 30,000 net acres representing 50% of its right, title and interest in and to certain leasehold interests in
the Utica Shale in Eastern Ohio, other than 14 existing wells, along with certain acreage surrounding each well, which are excluded assets (the &#147;Acquisition&#148;). The purchase price is approximately $302.0 million, subject to certain
adjustments. Gulfport acquired its initial acreage in February 2011 and has subsequently acquired additional acreage in the area. Windsor Ohio participated with Gulfport in the acquisition of these leases and Gulfport is now acquiring an additional
approximately 22.5% interest in these leases, increasing its working interest in the acreage to 72.5%. All of the acreage included in this transaction is currently nonproducing and Gulfport is the operator of all of this acreage, subject to existing
development and operating agreements between the parties. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Pending completion of title review after the closing, approximately
$43.8 million of the purchase price will be placed in an escrow account. The escrow account will terminate on April&nbsp;30, 2013 and the escrow amount will be distributed to either Gulfport or Windsor Ohio based on any title benefits or title
defects resulting from the title review. Pursuant to the PSA, Gulfport and Windsor Ohio have agreed to indemnify each other, Gulfport&#146;s respective affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees and agents from and against all
losses that such indemnified parties incur arising from any breach of representations, warranties or covenants in the PSA and certain other matters. The transaction was approved by a special committee of Gulfport&#146;s board of directors, who
engaged independent counsel and financial advisors to assist with their review. The closing is subject to the satisfaction of a number of conditions, including the closing of this offering on terms reasonably satisfactory to Gulfport. </FONT></P>

as amended (the &#147;Securities Act&#148;), and Section&nbsp;21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the &#147;Exchange Act&#148;). All statements, other than statements of historical facts, included in this press release that
address activities, events or developments that Gulfport or Grizzly expect or anticipate will or may occur in the future, including such things as future capital expenditures (including the amount and nature thereof), business strategy and measures
to implement strategy, competitive strength, goals, expansion and growth of Gulfport&#146;s or Grizzly&#146;s business and operations, including Gulfport&#146;s pending acquisition of additional working interests in the Utica Shale in Eastern Ohio,
plans, market conditions, references to future success, reference to intentions as to future matters and other such matters are forward-looking statements. These statements are based on certain assumptions and analyses made by Gulfport and Grizzly
in light of their experience and perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments as well as other factors they believe are appropriate in the circumstances. However, whether actual results and developments will
conform with Gulfport&#146;s and Grizzly&#146;s expectations and predictions is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, general economic, market, credit or business conditions; the opportunities (or lack thereof) that may be presented to and
pursued by Gulfport or Grizzly; competitive actions by other oil and gas companies; changes in laws or regulations; and other factors, many of which are beyond the control of Gulfport or Grizzly. Information concerning these and other factors can be
found in the Company&#146;s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including its Forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K. Consequently, all of the forward-looking statements made in this news release are qualified by these cautionary statements and
there can be no assurances that the actual results or developments anticipated by Gulfport and Grizzly will be realized, or even if realized, that they will have the expected consequences to or effects on Gulfport, its business or operations.
Gulfport has no intention, and disclaims any obligation, to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future results or otherwise. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT
