Amendment Description Gulfport Energy Corporation (the “Company” or “Gulfport”) filed its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 (the “Original 10-K Filing”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 5, 2021. Pursuant to General Instruction G(3) to Form 10-K, the Company incorporated by reference the information required by Part III of Form 10-K from its definitive proxy statement that we expected to file with the Commission no later than 120 days after the end of the fiscal year covered by the Original 10-K Filing. Because the definitive 2020 Proxy Statement will not be filed with the Commission, the Company is filing this Amendment No. 1 to the Original 10-K Filing (this “Form 10-K/A”) to provide the additional information required by Part III of Form 10-K. Except for the addition of Part III information and the filing of new certifications by our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, this Form 10-K/A does not amend or otherwise update any other information in the Original 10-K Filing, and the Original 10-K Filing, as amended by this Form 10-K/A, continues to speak as of the date of the Original 10-K Filing. Accordingly, this Form 10-K/A should be read in conjunction with the Original 10-K Filing and with our filings with the SEC subsequent to the Original 10-K Filing.
