<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0"><B>OKLAHOMA CITY</B>, June 21, 2023 &ndash; Gulfport Energy Corporation
(NYSE: GPOR) (&ldquo;Gulfport&rdquo; or the &ldquo;Company&rdquo;) today announced the commencement of an underwritten public offering
of 1,300,000 shares of its common stock by certain stockholders (the &ldquo;Offering&rdquo;). Such selling stockholders intend to grant
the underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 195,000 shares of the Company&rsquo;s common stock to cover any overallotments.
Gulfport will not sell any shares of its common stock in the Offering and will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the shares being
offered by the selling stockholders. The Offering is subject to market and other conditions, and there can be no assurance as to whether

remaining availability thereunder. The Offering is not conditioned upon the closing of the Concurrent Repurchase, but the Concurrent Repurchase
