Explanatory Note
On August 7, 2014, Gastar Exploration Inc. (the “Company”) filed a Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Original 8-K”) announcing its financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014. Subsequent to filing the Original 8-K, the Company filed Amendment No. 1 to the Original 8-K (“Amendment No. 1”), dated August 7, 2014, to revise a typographical error in the press release furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to the Original 8-K (the “Exhibit”), which incorrectly labeled a table heading contained in its consolidated statements of operations “For the Six Months Ended June 30, 2013 and 2012” instead of “For the Six Months Ended June 30, 2014 and 2013.”
In the exhibit index of Amendment No. 1, the press release was inadvertently dated April 15, 2014 instead of August 7, 2014. Accordingly, this Amendment No. 2 to the Current Report on Form 8-K/A amends and restates Items 2.02 and 9.01 to the Original 8-K, as amended by Amendment No. 1, solely to correct the aforementioned errors. The Exhibit remains unchanged in all other respects.
