 We have adopted Corporate Governance Guidelines to assist the Board in exercising its responsibilities. The Corporate Governance Guidelines reflect the Board’s commitment to monitor the effectiveness of policy and decision making at the Board and management levels, with a view to enhancing stockholder value over the long term. The Corporate Governance Guidelines also assure that the Board will have the necessary authority and practices in place to review and evaluate the Company’s business operations as needed and to make decisions that are independent of the Company’s management. Our Corporate Governance Guidelines, together with any amendments or waivers, are posted on our website at https://www.gulfportenergy.com/investors/corporate -governance /governance -documents. Political Contribution Policy Engagement in the political, legislative and regulatory process is important to the success of the Company. The Company has delegated compliance and oversight over this function to the Nominating, Environmental, Social and Governance Committee and has adopted a political contributions and activity policy that sets forth the ways by which the Company and its employees may participate in the political, legislative and regulatory process. All political contributions and activities are subject to compliance with applicable laws.
