ownership interest in a share of 9.75% Series D Cumulative Preferred Stock, par value $1.00 per share with a liquidation preference of $25,000.00 per preferred share ($25.00 per depositary share) (the &#147;<B><I>Series D Preferred

pay cumulative dividends in cash on the depositary shares on a quarterly basis at an annual rate of $2.4375 per depositary share, or 9.75% of the liquidation preference, per year. The net proceeds to the Company from the Offering will be
approximately $115.3 million (assuming that the Underwriters do not exercise their over-allotment option), after deducting the underwriting discount and estimated offering expenses. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering to
enhance liquidity and financial flexibility through the repayment of borrowings outstanding under the Company&#146;s senior credit facility and for general corporate purposes. On August&nbsp;19, 2013, the Company closed the Offering. </FONT></P>

Item 1.01
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Underwriting Agreement
On August 14, 2013, Goodrich Petroleum
Corporation (the "
Company
") entered into an underwriting agreement (the "
Underwriting Agreement
") with Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC and UBS Securities LLC, as representatives of the several
underwriters named therein (the "
Underwriters
"). The Underwriting Agreement relates to the sale by the Company of 4,800,000 depositary shares (the "
depositary shares
") each representing a 1/1000th
ownership interest in a share of 9.75% Series D Cumulative Preferred Stock, par value $1.00 per share with a liquidation preference of $25,000.00 per preferred share ($25.00 per depositary share) (the "
Series D Preferred
Stock
") in an underwritten public offering (the "
Offering
"). Additionally, the Company granted the Underwriters an option to purchase up to an additional 720,000 depositary shares at the public offering price,
less the underwriting discount, to cover over-allotments, if any.
The Underwriting Agreement contains customary
representations, warranties and agreements by the Company, and customary conditions to closing, indemnification obligations of the Company and the Underwriters, including for liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, other obligations of the
parties and termination provisions.
The above description of the Underwriting Agreement is qualified in its entirety by
reference to the full text of the Underwriting Agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 1.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
The Offering is contemplated by the Underwriting Agreement and is being made pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-186129), including the base prospectus (the
"
Base Prospectus
"), which became effective on March 8, 2013, and a preliminary prospectus supplement and prospectus supplement (each a "
Prospectus Supplement
" and, together with the Base
Prospectus, the "
Prospectus
"), each as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 14, 2013 and August 16, 2013, respectively. The Offering was priced at $25.00 per depositary share. The Company will
pay cumulative dividends in cash on the depositary shares on a quarterly basis at an annual rate of $2.4375 per depositary share, or 9.75% of the liquidation preference, per year. The net proceeds to the Company from the Offering will be
approximately $115.3 million (assuming that the Underwriters do not exercise their over-allotment option), after deducting the underwriting discount and estimated offering expenses. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering to
enhance liquidity and financial flexibility through the repayment of borrowings outstanding under the Company's senior credit facility and for general corporate purposes. On August 19, 2013, the Company closed the Offering.
Deposit Agreement
In connection with the closing of the Offering, on August 19, 2013 the Company entered into a Deposit Agreement (the
"
Deposit Agreement
") with American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC, as depositary (the "
Depositary
") and the holders from time to time of the depositary receipts described therein. The
Deposit Agreement governs the deposit of the Series D Preferred Stock with the Depositary and the issuance by the Depositary of the corresponding depositary shares. A copy of the Deposit Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 4.1 and
incorporated herein by reference.
Item 3.03
Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders
The information set forth under Item 5.03 regarding the Certificate of Designation (as defined below) of the Company is incorporated by reference into this Item 3.03.
Item 5.03
Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year
On August 19, 2013, the Company filed a certificate of designation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (the "
Certificate of Designation
") for the purpose of
amending its restated certificate of incorporation to fix the designations, preferences, limitations and relative rights of its Series D Preferred Stock. The Series D Preferred Stock ranks senior to the Company's common stock and on parity with
its 5.375% Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock and its 10.00% Series C Cumulative Preferred Stock with respect to the payment of dividends and distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up. The Series D Preferred
Stock has no stated maturity and is not subject to mandatory redemption or any sinking fund and will remain outstanding indefinitely unless repurchased or redeemed by the Company or converted into its common stock in connection with a change of
control.
At any time on or after August 19, 2018, the Company may, at its option, redeem the
Series D Preferred Stock, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, for cash at a redemption price of $25,000.00 per preferred share, plus all accumulated and unpaid dividends to, but not including, the date of redemption. In addition, the
Company may redeem the Series D Preferred Stock following certain changes of control, as described in the Certificate of Designation; if the Company does not exercise this option, then the holders of the Series D Preferred Stock have the option to
convert the shares of preferred stock into up to an aggregate of 2,297.79 shares of the Company's common stock per share of Series D Preferred Stock, subject to certain adjustments. If the Company exercises any of its redemption rights relating
to shares of Series D Preferred Stock, the holders of Series D Preferred Stock will not have the conversion right described above with respect to the shares of Series D Preferred Stock called for redemption.
Holders of shares of the Series D Preferred Stock will have no voting rights except for limited voting rights if the Company fails to pay
dividends for six or more quarterly periods (whether or not consecutive) and in certain other limited circumstances or as required by law. The terms of the Series D Preferred Stock are more fully set forth in the Certificate of Designation, a copy
of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 4.3 and is incorporated herein by reference.
