of the notes outstanding. The tender offer is being made pursuant to an offer to purchase and a related letter of transmittal, each dated as of October&nbsp;6, 2016, and a notice of guaranteed delivery. The tender offer will expire at 5:00 p.m., New
York City time, on October&nbsp;13, 2016, unless extended (the &#147;Expiration Time&#148;). Tendered notes may be withdrawn at any time before the Expiration Time unless extended. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The tender offer is contingent upon, among other things, Gulfport&#146;s successful completion of a proposed debt financing transaction, the proceeds of which
will be sufficient to fund the purchase of all outstanding notes and to pay all fees and expenses associated with such financing and the tender offer. The tender offer is not conditioned on any minimum amount of notes being tendered. Gulfport may
amend, extend or terminate the tender offer, in its sole discretion. The Company currently intends to redeem any and all notes that are not validly tendered and purchased by the Company in the tender offer and that remain outstanding. </P>
