Item 8.01. Other Events.
On December 18, 2012, Gulfport Energy Corporation (“Gulfport”) announced that it has priced an offering of $50 million aggregate principal amount of senior notes due 2020 (the “Notes”) at an issue price of 101% of the aggregate principal amount. The Notes were offered 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. On October 17, 2012, Gulfport completed a private placement of $250 million aggregate principal amount of its 7.750% senior notes due 2020. The Notes and the notes originally issued in October 2012 will be treated as a single class of debt securities under the same indenture. It is anticipated that the offering of the Notes will close on December 21, 2012, subject to market and other customary closing conditions. 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.
