  Company is a Delaware corporation subject to the applicable indemnification provisions of the General Corporation Law of the State of
  Delaware. Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware provides generally and in pertinent part that a Delaware
  corporation may indemnify its directors, officers, employees and agents (or persons serving at the request of the Company as a director,
  officer, employee or agent of another entity) against expenses, judgments, fines, and settlements actually and reasonably incurred by
  them in connection with any civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative suit or action except actions by or in the right of the

  not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and in connection with any criminal suit or proceeding, if in connection with the
  matters in issue, they had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct was unlawful. Section 145 further provides that in connection
  with the defense or settlement of any action by or in the right of the corporation, a Delaware corporation may indemnify its directors,
  officers, employees and agents (or persons serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another
  entity) against expenses actually and reasonably incurred by them if, in connection with the matters in issue, they acted in good faith
  and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, except that no indemnification
  may be made in respect of any claim, issue, or matter as to which such person has been adjudged liable to the corporation unless the
  Delaware Court of Chancery or other court in which such action or suit is brought approves such indemnification. Section 145 further
  permits a Delaware corporation to grant its directors and officers additional rights of indemnification through bylaw provisions and
  otherwise, and or purchase indemnity insurance on behalf of its directors and officers.</FONT></P>

  NOTE
  As
  previously reported, on November 13, 2020, Gulfport Energy Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("Legacy Gulfport") and certain
  of Legacy Gulfport's wholly owned direct subsidiaries (together with Legacy Gulfport, the "Debtors") filed voluntary
  petitions for relief under chapter 11 of title 11 of the United States Code (the "Bankruptcy Code") in the Bankruptcy
  Court for the Southern District of Texas (the "Bankruptcy Court"). The Debtors' chapter 11 cases were jointly
  administered under the caption
  In re Gulfport Energy Corporation, et al
  . (the "Chapter 11 Cases"). On April 15,
  2021, the Debtors filed the
  Amended Joint Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization of Gulfport Energy Corporation and Its Debtor Subsidiaries
  (the "Plan").
  On
  April 28, 2021, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order approving and confirming the Plan.
  In connection
  with the Chapter 11 Cases and the Plan, on and prior to the Effective Date (as defined below), Legacy Gulfport effectuated certain restructuring
  transactions, pursuant to which Gulfport Energy Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the "Company") was formed and succeeded
  Legacy Gulfport.
  On
  May 17, 2021 (the "Effective Date"), the Plan became effective in accordance with its terms and the Debtors emerged
  from the Chapter 11 Cases. As a result, effective as of the Effective Date for the purposes of Rule 15d-5 under the Securities Exchange
  Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), the Company is the successor registrant to Legacy Gulfport. The Company is
  thereby deemed subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder,
  and, in accordance therewith, files and will file reports and other information with the
  Securities
  and Exchange Commission (the "SEC")
  .
  Unless
  otherwise noted or suggested by context, all financial information and data and accompanying financial statements and corresponding notes,
  as of and prior to the Effective Date, as incorporated by reference herein, reflect the actual historical consolidated results of operations
  and financial condition of Legacy Gulfport for the periods presented and do not give effect to the Plan or any of the transactions contemplated
  thereby. Accordingly, such financial information may not be representative of the Company's performance or financial condition
  after the Effective Date. Except with respect to such historical financial information and data or as otherwise noted or suggested by
  context, all other information contained herein relates to the Company following the Effective Date.
  This
  Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the "Registration Statement") is being filed by the Company for the purpose of registering
  2,828,123 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001, of the Company (the "Common Stock") for issuance under the terms of
  the 2021 Incentive Plan and includes shares of Common Stock that may again become available for delivery with respect to awards under
  the 2021 Incentive Plan pursuant to the share counting, share recycling and other terms and conditions of the 2021 Incentive Plan. The
  shares of Common Stock that are being registered pursuant to this Registration Statement have been reserved and authorized for issuance
  from the Company's authorized and unissued capital stock.

  Indemnification of Directors and Officers
  .
  The
  Company is a Delaware corporation subject to the applicable indemnification provisions of the General Corporation Law of the State of
  Delaware. Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware provides generally and in pertinent part that a Delaware
  corporation may indemnify its directors, officers, employees and agents (or persons serving at the request of the Company as a director,
  officer, employee or agent of another entity) against expenses, judgments, fines, and settlements actually and reasonably incurred by
  them in connection with any civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative suit or action except actions by or in the right of the
  corporation if, in connection with the matters in issue, they acted in good faith and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in or
  not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and in connection with any criminal suit or proceeding, if in connection with the
  matters in issue, they had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct was unlawful. Section 145 further provides that in connection
  with the defense or settlement of any action by or in the right of the corporation, a Delaware corporation may indemnify its directors,
  officers, employees and agents (or persons serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another
  entity) against expenses actually and reasonably incurred by them if, in connection with the matters in issue, they acted in good faith
  and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, except that no indemnification
  may be made in respect of any claim, issue, or matter as to which such person has been adjudged liable to the corporation unless the
  Delaware Court of Chancery or other court in which such action or suit is brought approves such indemnification. Section 145 further
  permits a Delaware corporation to grant its directors and officers additional rights of indemnification through bylaw provisions and
  otherwise, and or purchase indemnity insurance on behalf of its directors and officers.
  Article
  VII of the Company's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (as amended, the "Certificate of Incorporation")
  provides, in general, that the Company will indemnify its directors, officers, employees and agents (or persons serving at the request
  of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another entity) to the full extent of Delaware law.
  Article
  VIII of the Company's Amended and Restated Bylaws (the "Bylaws") provides that the Company will indemnify any of its
  officers or directors (including those persons serving as an officer or director of another entity at the Company's request) who
  is party to a suit or other proceeding by reason of his or her position as an officer or director against reasonable expenses (including
  reasonable attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement (other than judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement
  in action brought by or on behalf of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor) actually and reasonably incurred by such person
  or such person's heirs, executors or administrators in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, including appeals. The
  Company may only indemnify an officer or director who brought the suit or proceeding if its board of directors had previously authorized
  such suit or proceeding. The rights to indemnification provided by its Bylaws include the right to advancement of expenses to the extent
  such person undertakes to repay all amounts advanced if it shall ultimately be determined by final judicial decision from which there
  is no further right to appeal that such person is not entitled to be indemnified for such expense.
  3
  Section 145 further authorizes
  a corporation to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation
  or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or enterprise,
  against any liability asserted against him and incurred by him in any such capacity, or arising out of his status as such, whether or
  not the corporation would otherwise have the power to indemnify him under Section 145. The Company maintains liability insurance policies
  that indemnify its directors and officers and those of the Company's subsidiaries against various liabilities, including certain
  liabilities arising under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act that may be incurred by them in their capacity as such.
  The indemnification rights
  set forth above are not exclusive of any other right which an indemnified person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision
  of the Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, agreement, vote of shareholders or directors or otherwise.
  In addition, pursuant to the
  2021 Incentive Plan, certain directors and officers administering the 2021 Incentive Plan shall be indemnified by the Company for reasonable
  expenses in connection with any action, suit or proceeding to which he or she is a party by reason of any action taken or failure to act
  in connection with the performance of duties under the 2021 Incentive Plan, except in relation to matters as to which it is adjudged in
  the action, suit or proceeding that the such person did not act in good faith and in a manner that the person reasonably believed to be
  in the best interests of the Company, and in the case of a criminal proceeding, had no reason to believe that the conduct complained of
  was lawful.
  The foregoing is only a
  general summary of certain aspects of Delaware law and the Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws, indemnification agreements and the
  2021 Incentive Plan dealing with indemnification of directors and officers and does not purport to be complete and is qualified in
  its entirety by the full text of each of the foregoing.

  Undertakings
  .
  (a)
  The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
  (1) to file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:
  (i)
  to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of
  the Securities Act of 1933;
  (ii)
  to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising
  after the effective date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in
  the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the Registration Statement; and
  (iii)
  to include any material information with respect to the plan
  of distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material change to such information in the Registration
  Statement;
  provided
  ,
  however
  , that paragraphs
  (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is
  contained in reports filed with or furnished to the SEC by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange
  Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement;
  (2) that, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered herein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof; and
  (3) to remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
  5
  (b) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes
  that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the Registrant's annual report
  pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that is incorporated by reference in this Registration
  Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered herein, and the offering of such securities
  at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
  (c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities
  arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to
  the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against
  public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification
  against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
  person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling
  person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been
  settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against
  public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
