DEREGISTRATION OF SECURITIES

Goodrich Petroleum Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), is filing these Post-Effective Amendments to each of the following Registration Statements (collectively, the “Registration Statements”) to deregister any and all securities that remain unsold under such Registration Statements:

 

  (1) Registration No. 333-204399 on Form S-3, pertaining to the resale of 100,000 warrants and 4,884,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.20 per share (the “Common Stock”), underlying the warrants, by the selling security holders named therein, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on May 22, 2015.

 

  (2) Registration No. 333-203911 on Form S-3, pertaining to the offer and sale from time to time of the securities included therein for an aggregate initial offering price not to exceed $500,000,000, which was filed with the SEC on May 6, 2015.

On April 15, 2016, the Company and its subsidiary Goodrich Petroleum Company, L.L.C., a Louisiana limited liability company (the “Subsidiary,” and together with the Company, the “Debtors”), filed voluntary petitions (the cases commenced thereby, the “Chapter 11 Cases”) seeking relief under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas, Houston Division (the “Bankruptcy Court”), to pursue a Chapter 11 plan of reorganization. The Company filed a motion with the Bankruptcy Court seeking joint administration of the Chapter 11 Cases under the caption In re Goodrich Petroleum Corporation, et al. (Case No. 16-31975). On August 12, 2016, the Debtors filed the proposed First Amended Joint Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization (as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time, the “Plan”).

On September 28, 2016, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order (the “Confirmation Order”) confirming the Plan as modified by the Confirmation Order and on October 12, 2016, in connection with the Company’s emergence from bankruptcy and pursuant to the Plan, all existing shares of Common Stock and other equity and debt securities of the Company were cancelled, and accordingly, all offerings of the Company’s securities, including those pursuant to the Registration Statements, were also terminated.

In accordance with an undertaking made by the Company in the Registration Statements to remove from registration, by means of a post-effective amendment, any securities that remain unsold at the termination of each offering, the Company hereby removes from registration any and all securities registered but unsold under the Registration Statements.
