| WORK SAFE |

Gulfport’s Work Safe Program is behaviorally based and focuses on twelve rules derived from Company policies (critical tasks) and cultural conditions linked to serious safety incidents in our industry. Critical Task Rules require specific operating procedures to mitigate hazardous work site conditions and complete work safely. Cultural Condition Rules are defined as work site conditions or human behaviors that have been linked to the root cause of most incidents. Employees and contractors are expected to apply and follow the requirements that coincide with the twelve rules. We continue educating employees and contractors on this program through safety meetings and training programs. Our goal is to not only improve our safety performance but to proactively prevent incidents before they occur. Stop Work is one of the Work Safe Program’s critical tasks. Our Chief Executive Officer, John Reinhart, signed and communicated a Stop Work Authority and Obligation letter to the Company’s employees and our contractors. This letter outlines Gulfport’s commitment to health, safety and the environment and provides the expectation and support to Gulfport employees and contract partners to stop work when conditions warrant. Every person on a Gulfport work site has the authority — and obligation — to stop any work that may cause an unsafe condition, create personal risk, or harm the environment.
