Explanatory Note

This Form 8-K/A is being filed as an amendment to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed on June 22, 2011 (the “Original 8-K”) by Gulfport Energy Corporation (the “Company”). The sole purpose of this amendment is to disclose the Company’s decision, following its annual meeting of stockholders, as to how frequently it will conduct future stockholder advisory votes regarding executive compensation. This Form 8-K/A does not otherwise amend the Original 8-K in any way.

Item 5.07. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

(d) At the annual meeting of stockholders of the Company held on June 16, 2011, the Company’s stockholders voted on, among other matters, an advisory proposal concerning the frequency of future advisory votes on executive compensation. As reported in the Original 8-K, the advisory vote of the Company’s stockholders at the annual meeting was in favor of holding future advisory stockholder votes to approve the Company’s executive compensation on an annual basis.

In light of these results, the Company’s Board of Directors determined at a meeting held on October 31, 2011 that the Company will hold an advisory vote on executive compensation every year. The Company will re-evaluate this determination in connection with its next stockholder advisory vote regarding the frequency of future advisory votes on executive compensation, which shall be no later than the Company’s annual meeting of stockholders in 2017.
