CUSIP NO. 382410843 Page 6 of 11

This Amendment No. 7 to the Statement on Schedule 13D amends the Statement on Schedule 13D originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 24, 2016, as previously amended on December 19, 2016, March 3, 2017, June 2, 2017, September 28, 2017, November 13, 2017 and on January 4, 2018 which relates to shares of Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Shares”), of GOODRICH PETROLEUM CORPORATION a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”). The Issuer’s principal executive offices are located at 801 Louisiana, Suite 700, Houston, Texas, 77002.

This Amendment No. 7 to Schedule 13D amends and supplements the previously amended Schedule 13D as follows. Except as provided herein, this Amendment No. 7 to Schedule 13D does not modify any of the information previously reported on such Schedule 13D, including any amendment thereto. The information herein is provided and is correct as of February 12, 2018. Unless otherwise indicated, each capitalized term used but not defined herein shall have the meaning assigned to such term in such Schedule 13D as originally filed.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

The following paragraph is added to Item 4:

Between January 4, 2018 and February 12, 2018, the Funds sold 181,593 Shares in a public offering pursuant to the Issuer’s effective registration statement on behalf of the Funds.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer

Item 5 is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

(a-b) The Shares may be deemed to be beneficially owned by FAV for purposes of Rule 13d-3 under the Act in their capacity as the investment advisers to the Funds pursuant to investment management contracts that grant them investment and/or voting power. When an investment management contract (including a sub-advisory agreement) delegates to an investment management subsidiary investment discretion or voting power over the securities held in the investment advisory accounts that are subject to that agreement, FRI treats the investment management subsidiary as having sole investment discretion or voting authority, as the case may be, unless the agreement specifies otherwise. Accordingly, FAV, as an investment management subsidiary, reports on Schedule 13D that it has sole investment discretion and voting authority over the securities covered by any such investment management agreement.

Beneficial ownership by Investment Management Subsidiaries and other FRI affiliates is being reported in conformity with the guidelines articulated by the SEC staff in Release No. 34 39538 (January 12, 1998) relating

to organizations, such as FRI, where related entities exercise voting and investment powers over the securities being reported independently from each other. The voting and investment powers held by Franklin Mutual Advisers,

LLC (“FMA”) and Franklin Advisory Services, LLC (“FAS”), each an indirect wholly owned Investment Management Subsidiary, are exercised independently from FRI and from all other Investment Management Subsidiaries (FRI, its

affiliates and the Investment Management Subsidiaries other than FMA and FAS are collectively, “FRI affiliates”). Furthermore, internal policies and procedures of FMA, FAS and FRI establish informational barriers that prevent

the flow between FMA and FAS, on the one hand, and the FRI affiliates, on the other hand, of information that relates to the voting and investment powers over the securities owned by their respective management clients.

Consequently, FMA and FAS report the securities over which they hold investment and voting power separately from the FRI affiliates for purposes of Section 13 of the Act.

Charles B. Johnson and Rupert H. Johnson, Jr. (the “Principal Shareholders”) each own in excess of 10% of FRI’s outstanding common stock and are the principal stockholders of FRI. FRI and the Principal Shareholders may be deemed to be, for purposes of Rule 13d‑3 under the Act, the beneficial owners of securities held by persons and entities for whom or for which FRI’s subsidiaries provide investment management services. The number of shares that may be deemed to be beneficially owned and the percentage of the class of which such shares are a part are reported in Items 11 and 13 of the cover pages for FRI and each of the Principal Shareholders. Items 11 and 13 of the cover pages for FAV, FRI and each of the Principal Shareholders are incorporated herein by reference. FRI, the Principal Shareholders and FAV disclaim any pecuniary interest in any of the Shares, Warrants and Notes. In addition, the filing of the Schedule 13D on behalf of the Principal Shareholders, FRI and FAV should not be construed as an admission that any of them is, and each disclaims that it is, the beneficial owner, as defined in Rule 13d‑3, of any of the Shares, Warrants or Notes.

FRI, the Principal Shareholders and FAV believe that they are not a “group” within the meaning of Rule 13d‑5 under the Act and that they are not otherwise required to attribute to each other the beneficial ownership of the Shares, Warrants and Notes held by any of them or by any persons or entities for whom or for which FAV provides investment management services.
