Pricing of Notes Offering
On December 15, 2016, Gulfport announced that it priced an offering of $600.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 6.375% Senior Notes due 2025 (the “Notes”) to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and to certain non-U.S. persons in accordance with Regulation S under the Securities Act. A copy of this press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
The Notes were not registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from such registration requirements. This report is neither an offer to sell nor a solicitation of an offer to buy any of these securities and shall not constitute an offer, solicitation or sale in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale is unlawful.
Pricing of Equity Offering
On December 15, 2016, Gulfport issued a press release announcing the pricing of an underwritten public offering (the “Equity Offering”) of 29,000,000 shares of its common stock at a price to the public of $21.50 per share. The underwriters have a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 4,350,000 shares from Gulfport (collectively, the “Shares”) at the public offering price (less the underwriting discount). The Shares will be issued under an effective automatic shelf registration statement on Form S-3 previously filed by Gulfport with the Securities and Exchange Commission. A copy of this press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2.
This report shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy these securities, nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of such state or jurisdiction. The Equity Offering may only be made by means of a prospectus supplement and related base prospectus.
