Item 1.02. Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement

As previously disclosed, on October 1, 2014, Gulfport Energy Corporation (“Gulfport”) entered into an Amended and Restated Master Services Agreement for pressure pumping services (the “MSA”) with Stingray Pressure Pumping LLC (“Stingray Pressure”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Mammoth Energy Services, Inc. (“Mammoth”) and a related party. The MSA, as amended effective July 1, 2018, provided that, subject to the terms and conditions therein, Stingray Pressure would provide hydraulic fracturing, stimulation and related completion and rework services to Gulfport through 2021 and Gulfport would pay Stingray Pressure a monthly service fee plus the associated costs of the services provided.

On December 18, 2019, Gulfport notified Stingray Pressure of the exercise of Gulfport’s termination right under the MSA in connection with Stingray Pressure’s inability to fulfill or timely cure its obligations under the MSA.

Gulfport owns approximately 22% of Mammoth’s outstanding common stock and one of Mammoth’s directors is Gulfport’s designee pursuant to that certain investor rights agreement between Mammoth and Gulfport, dated as of October 12, 2016, entered into by the parties thereto in connection with Mammoth’s initial public offering.
