Item 1 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

This Amendment No. 4 to Schedule 13D ("Amendment No. 4") is being filed by the undersigned, pursuant to §240.13d-2(a), with respect to the Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share, (the "Shares") of Goodrich Petroleum Corporation (the “Issuer”), whose principal executive offices are located at 801 Louisiana St., Suite 700, Houston, Texas 77002. This Amendment No. 4 amends and supplements the statement on the Schedule 13D filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on May 24, 2018, as amended by Amendment No. 1 filed on March 11, 2021, Amendment No. 2 filed on September 24, 2021 and Amendment No. 3 filed on October 6, 2021 (collectively, the "Schedule 13D"). Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined in this Amendment No. 4 have the meanings set forth in the Schedule 13D.

Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

On November 21, 2021, the Issuer entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (“Merger Agreement”) with Paloma Partners VI Holdings, LLC, which is an affiliate of EnCap Energy Capital Fund XI L.P. (“Parent”), and Paloma VI Merger Sub, Inc., which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), whereby, among other things, Merger Sub will commence a tender offer to acquire all of the Issuer’s outstanding Shares for $23.00 per Share in cash (the “Tender Offer”). The Merger Agreement and the Tender Offer were unanimously approved by the Issuer’s board of directors.  The Tender Offer is subject to customary conditions, including the tender of a majority of the outstanding Shares.

Also on November 21, 2021, in connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, AIO V and AIV 1 (collectively, the “Parties”), entered into a Tender and Support Agreement (the “Support Agreement”) with Parent, Merger Sub and, with solely respect to certain provisions thereunder, the Issuer.  Pursuant to the Support Agreement, each of the Parties has agreed, among other things, to (i) validly tender or cause to be validly tendered pursuant to and in accordance with the Tender Offer all Shares beneficially owned by them and not to withdraw or cause to be withdrawn any such Shares from the Tender Offer unless and until the Support Agreement is terminated, and (ii) not vote any Shares beneficially owned by them in favor or, and will vote against or not consent to, any acquisition proposal other than the Merger and related transactions, or that could impede, interfere with, prevent or delay the consummation of the Merger or the related transactions.  Pursuant to the Support Agreement, each of the Parties granted an irrevocable proxy to Parent for voting the Shares beneficiary owned by such party in connection with the Merger and related transactions. Each Party further agreed not to transfer any Shares subject to the Support Agreement, other than with the prior written consent of Parent or the Issuer, subject to certain limited exceptions.

The Support Agreement will automatically terminate upon the earliest to occur of (i) the mutual written agreement of Parent and the Parties, (ii) the termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms, (iii) the effective time of the Merger, (iv) the occurrence of an Adverse Recommendation Change (as defined in the Merger Agreement) in compliance with the provisions of the Merger Agreement, and (v) the date of any amendment to the Merger Agreement that reduces or changes the amount or form of consideration payable in the Tender Offer or the Merger.

As of November 21, 2021, the Parties beneficially owned 1,150,000 Shares, or approximately 7.99% of the issued and outstanding Shares.  Certain other stockholders of the Issuer entered into similar Support Agreements, such that the holders of a majority of the outstanding Shares have agreed to tender their Shares in the Tender Offer.

Following completion of the Tender Offer, a second-step merger will commence pursuant to which any remaining Shares will be converted into the right to receive $23.00 per share (the “Merger”). The Merger is expected to close in December 2021.  Upon completion of the Merger, the Issuer will become a privately held company and the Shares will no longer be listed on any public market.

The foregoing description of the Support Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Support Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit G to this Schedule 13D and is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 6 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

The response to Item 4 of this Amendment No. 4 is incorporated by reference herein.

Item 7 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

Exhibit G

Tender and Support Agreement, dated November 21, 2021, by and among Paloma Partners VI Holdings, LLC, Paloma VI Merger Sub, Inc., Anchorage Illiquid Opportunities V, L.P. and AIO V AIV 1 Holdings L.P.

SIGNATURES
