Gulfport
Energy Announces Public Offering of Common Stock by Selling Stockholders
OKLAHOMA CITY, June 21, 2023 – Gulfport Energy Corporation
(NYSE: GPOR) (“Gulfport” or the “Company”) today announced the commencement of an underwritten public offering
of 1,300,000 shares of its common stock by certain stockholders (the “Offering”). Such selling stockholders intend to grant
the underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 195,000 shares of the Company’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
or when the Offering may be completed.
In addition, the Company announced that concurrent with the closing
of the Offering, it intends to purchase from certain of the selling stockholders approximately $25 million of shares of the Company’s
common stock at a price per share equal to the per share purchase price to be paid by the public in the Offering (the “Concurrent
Repurchase”). The Concurrent Repurchase is part of the Company’s existing $400 million share repurchase program and will reduce
remaining availability thereunder. The Offering is not conditioned upon the closing of the Concurrent Repurchase, but the Concurrent Repurchase
is conditioned upon the closing of the Offering.
BofA Securities, J.P. Morgan and Evercore ISI are acting as joint book-running
managers for the Offering. The Offering will be made only by means of a prospectus supplement and the accompanying base prospectus, which
was filed as part of an effective shelf registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”)
on Form S-3 (File No. 333-264674). Copies of the preliminary prospectus supplement and accompanying base prospectus relating to the Offering,
