This Amendment No. 12 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 January 10, 2017, March 3, 2017, June 2, 2017, September 28, 2017, November 16, 2017, January 5, 2018, February 15, 2018, February 23, 2018, March 23, 2018, January 25, 2019, and on June 13, 2019 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 St., Suite 700, Houston, Texas, 77002.

This Amendment No. 12 to Schedule 13D amends and supplements the previously amended Schedule 13D as follows. Except as provided herein, this Amendment No. 12 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 March 9, 2021. 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:

Pursuant to a plan of reorganization, in October 2016 the Issuer issued shares of Common Stock, Warrants and 13.50% Second Lien Senior Secured Convertible Notes due 2019 ("Convertible Notes") to certain of its creditors and participants in the reorganization, including investment advisory clients ("Clients") of Franklin Advisers, Inc. ("FAV"). The Issuer redeemed the Convertible Notes on May 29, 2019. On May 31, 2019, the Issuer issued to the Clients 13.50% Convertible Second Lien Senior Secured Notes due 2021 (the "2021 Convertible Notes"), with the same conversion price as the Convertible Notes. On May 6, 2020, the Company, the subsidiary guarantor named therein and Wilmington Trust, National Association as trustee and collateral agent entered into the First Amendment to Indenture and Notes (the "First Indenture Amendment"). Pursuant to the terms of the First Indenture Amendment, the maturity date of the 2021 Convertible Notes was extended from May 31, 2021 to May 31, 2022 (the "2022 Convertible Notes"). On March 9, 2021 the 2022 Convertible Notes were exchanged for 13.50% Convertible Second Lien Senior Secured Notes due 2023 (the “2023 Convertible Notes” and together with the Common Stock, the "Securities"). The 2023 Convertible Notes are convertible into Shares, at any time at the option of the holder, at a conversion price of $21.33, subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth in the Indenture related to the 2023 Convertible Notes.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer

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

((a-b) FAV is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Franklin Resources, Inc. ("FRI"). FAV may be deemed to beneficially own the Securities for purposes of Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Act"), in its capacity as the investment adviser to the Funds pursuant to investment management contracts that grant investment and/or voting power to FAV. When an investment management contract (including a sub-advisory agreement) delegates to FAV investment discretion or voting power over the securities held in the investment advisory accounts that are subject to that agreement, FRI treats FAV 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 FRI, FAV and their 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 each of FRI’s affiliates whose ownership of securities is disaggregated from that of FRI in accordance with the 1998 Release (“FRI

Disaggregated Affiliates”) are exercised independently from FRI and from all other investment management subsidiaries of FRI (FRI, its affiliates and the investment management subsidiaries of FRI other than FRI Disaggregated Affiliates are collectively, “FRI

Aggregated Affiliates”). Furthermore, internal policies and procedures of, on the one hand, FRI Disaggregated Affiliates, and, on the other hand, FRI establish informational barriers that prevent the flow among, on the one hand, FRI Disaggregated Affiliates

(including preventing the flow between such entities), and, on the other hand, the FRI Aggregated Affiliates of information that relates to the voting and investment powers over the securities owned by their respective investment management clients.

Consequently, FRI Disaggregated Affiliates report the securities over which they hold investment and voting power separately from the FRI Aggregated 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 Securities. 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 Securities.

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 Securities held by any of them or by any persons or entities for whom or for which FAV provides investment management services.

Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer

On March 9, 2021, the Issuer, an affiliate of Anchorage Capital Group, L.L.C.(“Anchorage”), and funds and accounts managed by FAV, entered into a Note Purchase and Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) pursuant to which: (i) the parties to the Exchange Agreement agreed to deliver or cause to be delivered to the Issuer all right, title and interest in the 2022 Convertible Notes held by it with respect to which it serves as manager or investment advisor having the unrestricted power to vote or dispose thereof (each, an “Exchanging Noteholder”); (ii) subject to the preceding condition, the Issuer agreed to issue to each such Exchanging Noteholder, 2023 Convertible Notes in an aggregate principal amount equal to that set forth in the Exchange Agreement; (iii) and each new purchaser agreed to purchase the principal amount of 2023 Convertible Notes at the purchase price set forth in the Exchange Agreement.

Also in connection with the issuance of the 2023 Convertible Notes on March 9, 2021, the Issuer, Anchorage’s affiliate, and funds and accounts managed by FAV, entered into a Registration Rights Agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) pursuant to which, after the closing of the 2023 Convertible Notes issuance pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, the parties to the Registration Rights Agreement are entitled to certain rights with respect to demanding registration under the Securities Act of 1933 of the Issuer’s registrable securities.

The description and summary of each of the Exchange Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement set forth above in this Item 6 does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of each of the Exchange Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement, which are incorporated by reference as Exhibit C and Exhibit D, respectively, to this Schedule 13D and are incorporated herein by reference.
