GDP Goodrich Petroleum Corporation

As previously disclosed in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by Goodrich Petroleum Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on November 23, 2021, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), dated as of November 21, 2021, with Paloma Partners VI Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Parent”), and Paloma VI Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, on November 24, 2021, Merger Sub commenced a tender offer (the “Offer”) to purchase any and all of the shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Shares”), of the Company that were issued and outstanding at a price of $23.00 per Share (the “Offer Price”) in cash, without interest, less any applicable withholding taxes, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase, dated November 24, 2021, and in the related Letter of Transmittal, filed as Exhibit (a)(1)(i) and Exhibit (a)(1)(ii), respectively, to the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO originally filed with the SEC by Parent and Merger Sub on November 24, 2021.

The Offer expired at 12:00 A.M. midnight, New York City time, on December 23, 2021 (the “Expiration Time”). American Stock Transfer & Trust Company LLC, in its capacity as depositary and paying agent for the Offer (the “Depositary”), has advised Parent and Merger Sub that a total of 12,014,916 Shares were validly tendered and not validly withdrawn (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, Shares presented pursuant to guaranteed delivery procedures provided by Parent, but which have not yet been validly tendered in satisfaction of such guarantee and in accordance with such procedures) pursuant to the Offer as of the Expiration Time, which, when combined with the 1,838,510 Shares owned by Parent (the “Parent Shares”), represents approximately 87% of the outstanding Shares.

The number of Shares validly tendered and not properly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer, when combined with the Parent Shares, satisfies the Minimum Condition. All conditions to the Offer having been satisfied or waived, on December 23, 2021, Merger Sub irrevocably accepted for payment all such Shares validly tendered and not validly withdrawn prior to the Expiration Time (the “Acceptance Time”). Payment of the Offer Price for such Shares will be promptly made by the Depositary in accordance with the terms of the Offer.

On December 23, 2021 (the “Closing Date”), pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement and without a vote of the stockholders of the Company in accordance with Section 251(h) of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”), the Company merged with and into Merger Sub, with Merger Sub continuing as the surviving corporation (the “Surviving Corporation”) and as a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (the “Merger”).

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), any Shares not purchased pursuant to the Offer (other than (i) Shares that are held by any stockholders who properly demand appraisal in connection with the Merger, (ii) Shares then owned by Parent, Merger Sub or certain of their affiliates and (iii) Shares held in treasury by the Company or by any of its wholly owned subsidiaries) were automatically converted into the right to receive the Offer Price, without interest, less any applicable withholding taxes.

Immediately prior to the Acceptance Time, (a) each restricted stock award of the Company (whether vested or unvested) that was outstanding immediately prior to the Acceptance Time vested in full and was canceled and converted into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to the product of (i) the Offer Price and (ii) the total number of Shares subject to such restricted stock award, (b) each award of phantom stock of the Company subject to time-based vesting (whether vested or unvested) that was outstanding immediately prior to the Acceptance Time vested in full and was canceled and converted into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to the product of (i) the Offer Price and (ii) the total number of Shares subject to such time-based phantom stock award and (c) each award of phantom stock of the Company subject to performance-based vesting (whether vested or unvested) that was outstanding immediately prior to the Acceptance Time vested based on actual achievement of the performance criteria set forth in the applicable award agreement for a truncated performance period beginning on the date of grant of such performance-based phantom stock award and ending at the Acceptance Time and was canceled and converted into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to the product of (i) the Offer Price and (ii) after giving effect to the foregoing, the total number of Shares subject to the vested portion of such performance-based phantom stock award.

The foregoing summary description of the Merger Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the terms of the Merger Agreement, which was filed as Exhibit 2.1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company with the SEC on November 23, 2021 and is incorporated by reference herein.
