Gulfport Energy Corporation Announces Pricing of Public Offering of Common Stock |
OKLAHOMA CITY (July 12, 2011) Gulfport Energy Corporation (NASDAQ: GPOR) today announced that it has priced its previously-announced underwritten public offering of 3,000,000 shares of its common stock at a public offering price of $28.75 per share. Gulfport granted the underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 450,000 shares of common stock at the public offering price (less the underwriting discount) solely to cover over-allotments. Net proceeds to Gulfport from the sale of the 3,000,000 shares, after underwriting discounts and estimated expenses, will be approximately $81.9 million. Gulfport intends to use the net proceeds from this offering to repay the current outstanding balance under its secured revolving credit facility, to fund its acquisition of oil and gas assets, including in the Utica Shale in Ohio, and for general corporate purposes, which may include expenditures associated with Gulfport’s 2011 drilling programs. The offering is expected to close on July 15, 2011, subject to customary closing conditions.
