On October 6, 2016, Gulfport issued a press release announcing the pricing at par of the offering of $650 million aggregate principal amount of its 6.000% Senior Notes due 2024 (the “Notes”) to fund the repurchase of its outstanding 7.750% Senior Notes due 2020. The Notes were offered to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act, and to certain non-U.S. persons in accordance with Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Net proceeds to Gulfport from the sale of the Notes will be approximately $640.0 million. The Notes offering is expected to close on October 14, 2016, subject to customary closing conditions. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
The Notes will not be 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.
