Item 1.01

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On July 25, 2016, W&T Offshore, Inc.’s (the “Company”) obligations under a support agreement (the “Support Agreement”) with certain holders (the “Supporting Noteholders”) of the Company’s outstanding 8.500% Senior Notes due 2019 (the “Existing Notes”) became effective. In connection with effectiveness of the Support Agreement, the Company commenced an offer to exchange (the “Exchange Offer”) all of the Existing Notes for up to (i) 62,100,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.00001 per share, of the Company (the “Shares”), (ii) $202.5 million aggregate principal amount of its new Senior Second Lien PIK Toggle Notes due 2020 (the “New Second Lien Notes”) and (iii) $180.0 million aggregate principal amount of its new Senior PIK Toggle Notes due 2021 (the “New Unsecured Notes,” together with the New Second Lien Notes, the “New Notes” and, together with the Shares, the “New Securities”). Pursuant to the Support Agreement, the Supporting Noteholders have agreed to tender in the Exchange Offer, approximately 63.1% of the $900.0 million aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Existing Notes. The Support Agreement became effective and all obligations contained therein became binding on the respective parties thereto upon commencement of the Exchange Offer.

In addition, the Company and certain Supporting Noteholders entered into commitment papers whereby such Supporting Noteholders agreed to provide up to $75,000,000 in additional capital through borrowings under a secured term loan facility to be entered into on or around the same date as the consummation of the Exchange Offer (such term loan financing, the “1.5 Lien Term Loans”).

The consummation of the Exchange Offer is subject to satisfaction of certain conditions precedent, including among others, (a) the valid tender, without withdrawal, of a minimum of 95%, or $855.0 million, of the outstanding aggregate principal amount of Existing Notes by holders as of the expiration date of the Exchange Offer, (b) the requisite consents having been received, without withdrawal, prior to the Expiration Date for purposes of effecting the amendment to the indenture governing the Existing Notes, (c) the requisite approvals by the Company’s shareholders with respect to the proposals presented at the special meeting of the Company’s shareholders, (d) the amendment to the Company’s revolving bank credit facility to permit the consummation of the Exchange Offer and the (e) the consummation of the 1.5 Lien Term Loan. The administrative agent for our revolving bank credit facility has advised us that they have sufficient votes from lenders to approve the amendment, subject to final documentation.

Concurrent with the Exchange Offer, the Company commenced a consent solicitation (the “Consent Solicitation”) for certain proposed amendments (the “Amendments”) to the indenture governing the Existing Notes in order to permit the consummation of the Exchange Offer. The act of tendering Existing Notes pursuant to the Exchange Offer constitutes a consent to the Amendments.

The Support Agreement contains certain representations, warranties and other agreements by the Company and the Supporting Noteholders. The Company’s and Supporting Noteholders’ obligations under the Support Agreement are subject to various customary conditions set forth in the Support Agreement, including the negotiation, execution and delivery of indentures for the New Second Lien Notes and the New Unsecured Notes and other definitive documentation for the Exchange Offer. Accordingly, there can be no assurance if or when the Company will consummate the Exchange Offer and the other transactions contemplated by the Support Agreement. In connection with the Support Agreement, the Supporting Noteholders will receive customary payments, including reimbursement of counsel expenses.

The foregoing description of the Support Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the form of Support Agreement, which is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated by reference herein.

Item 8.01

(l) The Company Group’s consolidated financial statements (including, in each case, any notes thereto) contained in the Company Reports were prepared (i) in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) applied on a consistent basis throughout the periods indicated (except as may be indicated in the notes thereto or, in the case of interim consolidated financial statements, where information and footnotes contained in such financial statements are not required under the rules of the SEC to be in compliance with GAAP) and (ii) in compliance, as of their respective dates of filing with the SEC, in all material respects with applicable accounting requirements with the published rules and regulations of the SEC with respect thereto, and in each case such consolidated financial statements fairly presented, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position, results of operations, changes in stockholder’s equity and cash flows of the Company Group as of the respective dates thereof and for the respective periods covered thereby (subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to normal year-end adjustments).

(m) It is not necessary, in connection with the issuance of the Shares to the Holders, to register the Shares under the Securities Act.

6. Covenants of each Holder. Each Holder, severally and not jointly, covenants and agrees for the benefit of the Company that, prior to the Termination Date (as defined below), such Holder will not (and will cause any funds or accounts managed by such Holder, to not):

(a) transfer any of the Subject Existing Notes held by it, in whole or in part, unless such Transfer is to (i) another Participant or (ii) to any other transferee, provided that, in the case of a transfer to any other transferee other than another Participant, as a condition precedent to such transfer, such transferee agrees to execute and deliver to the Company, concurrently with such transfer, a joinder to this Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D or a support agreement substantially in the form of this Agreement (as determined by the Company in its sole discretion) with respect to such transferred Subject Existing Notes, which support agreement the Company shall also execute and deliver to the transferee; provided, however, Holders shall be solely responsible for any fees and expenses, including, but not limited to, legal fees of the Company, associated with such Transfer of Subject Existing Notes;

(1)

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) any Holder may transfer Existing Notes to an entity that is acting in its capacity as a Qualified Marketmaker (as defined in clause (2) of this Section 6(a)) without the requirement that the Qualified Marketmaker be or become a Participant or a Holder; provided that the Qualified Marketmaker subsequently transfers the right, title or interest to such Existing Notes to a transferee that is or becomes a Participant or Holder as provided above; provided, however, that such Holder shall be solely responsible for the Qualified Marketmaker’s failure to comply with the requirements of Section 6(a) hereof; and (ii) to the extent any Holder is acting in its capacity as a Qualified Marketmaker, it may transfer any Existing Notes that it acquires from a holder of such Existing Notes that is not a Holder without the requirement that the transferee be or become a Participant or a Holder.

(2)

For these purposes, “Qualified Marketmaker” means an entity that (i) holds itself out to the market as standing ready in the ordinary course of business to purchase from and sell to customers Existing Notes, or enter with customers into long and/or short positions in Existing Notes, in its capacity as a dealer or market maker in such Existing Notes; and (ii) is in fact regularly in the business of making a market in claims, interest and/or securities of issuers or borrowers.

(b) except as required for purposes of validly tendering Existing Notes, grant any powers of attorney or proxies or consents in respect of any of the Subject Existing Notes, deposit any of such Subject Existing Notes into a voting trust, or enter into an agreement with respect to any of such Subject Existing Notes; or

(c) take any other action with respect to the Subject Existing Notes (other than any action permitted by this Agreement, including a Transfer pursuant to Section 6(a) above, terminating this Agreement pursuant to Section 8 and withdrawing its acceptance of the Exchange Offer and revoking its tender of the Subject Existing Notes in accordance with this Agreement) that would in any way restrict, limit or interfere with the performance of such Holder’s obligations hereunder or the Transactions.

7. Covenants of the Company. The Company covenants and agrees for the benefit of each Holder that:

(a) it will (and will cause each of its applicable subsidiaries to):

(3) not disclose the name of any Holder in any press release or document filed with the Commission without the prior written consent of such Holder; provided that Holders hereby consent to the Company filing a copy of the form of this Agreement, without including the identity of Holders, as an exhibit to, and summarizing the terms of this Agreement in a current report on Form 8-K filed with the Commission in connection with the Exchange Offer, to the extent required by the rules of the Commission; provided, however, that if any such disclosure is required, only such information regarding this Agreement or the Holders as required by applicable law and the rules of the Commission shall be filed with the Commission and in no event shall the details regarding the Holders’ holdings or amount of Subject Existing Notes be disclosed or filed.

(b) for the period beginning on the Effective Date and ending on the earlier of (x) the End Date or (y) the Termination Date, the Company shall not enter into any contract, agreement, commitment or other obligation (written or oral) with any other holder of an Existing Note, including any Participant, pursuant to which the Company agrees to purchase, exchange or otherwise acquire, in a single transaction or series of transactions, any of such holder’s Existing Notes (an “Additional Note Purchase”) unless such Additional Note Purchase is on substantially similar terms as this Agreement.

(c) it will ensure that each other Participant Agreement or any other support agreement with respect to the Exchange Offer shall provide that no party to such Participant Agreement or such other support agreement, as applicable, may refer to a Holder or any of its affiliates in any press release or similar public announcement or communication without such Holder’s prior written consent.

(d) it will ensure that no modifications are made to the terms of the Exchange Offer (including the terms of the Shares, the New Second Lien Notes and the New Unsecured Notes) and no modifications, amendments or supplements to the Offering Memorandum shall be made except, in each case, modifications that (i) are procedural, technical or conforming in nature or relate to the timeline of the Exchange Offer (other than modifications with respect to the Required Launch Date or the End Date) or (ii) to which the Required Holders as provided in Section 9 hereof have consented to in writing (the “Permitted Modifications”); provided, however, that such prior written approvals shall not be required with respect to any amendment or supplement of the Offering Memorandum relating solely to the Company’s business or the markets it serves made pursuant to Section 7(e) so long as the Required Holders under this Agreement shall have been given two (2) Business Days to review and approve the proposed amendment or supplement.

(e) if at any time prior to the completion of the Exchange Offer (i) any event shall occur or condition shall exist as a result of which the Offering Memorandum as then amended or supplemented would include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances existing when the Offering Memorandum is delivered, not misleading or (ii) it is necessary to amend or supplement the Offering Memorandum to comply with applicable law, as promptly as reasonably practicable upon learning thereof, it will notify the Holders thereof and forthwith prepare and, subject to clause (i) of this Section 7(e), furnish to the Holders such amendments or supplements to the Offering Memorandum as may be necessary so that the statements in the Offering Memorandum as so amended or supplemented will not, in the light of the circumstances existing when the Offering Memorandum is delivered, be misleading or so that the Offering Memorandum will comply with applicable law.

(f) it will launch the Exchange Offer with a Minimum Tender Condition no lower than 95%, provided that the Company shall be permitted to waive down such Minimum Tender Condition to a threshold no lower than 85%, provided that if the Exchange Offer is Consummated at a participation threshold below 90%, the provision set forth under “Contingent Collateral” in Exhibit F shall be made a part of the terms of the New Unsecured Notes.

(i) it will furnish to the Holders at or prior to 12:00 pm (New York City time) on each of the End Date and the date of Consummation of the Exchange Offer, a certificate, signed by an executive officer of the Company and dated as of each respective date, to the effect that the representations and warranties of the Company in this Agreement are true and correct in all material respects on and as of each respective date (except for representations and warranties made as of a specified date, which shall be true and correct only as of the specified date), with the same effect as if made on such dates.

(j) it will not enter into any agreement or consummate any exchange for Participation Agreement or consent to any exchange for the Existing Notes on terms more favorable to any such holder of Existing Notes than the terms provided to the Holders under this Agreement. If the Company enters into any such agreement or exchange on such more favorable terms, the Company will modify or revise the terms of this Agreement and the Exchange Offer to reflect any more favorable terms provided to any other holder of Existing Notes.

(k) it will use reasonable best efforts to promptly take all actions and prepare and file all necessary documentation (including by reasonably cooperating with the Holders as to the appropriate time of filing such documentation and its content) and to effect all applications that are necessary or advisable in connection with seeking any governmental approval, exemption or authorization from any Governmental Authority, including under any Antitrust Laws, that are necessary (as reasonably determined by the Company and the Required Holders after joint consultation with counsel) to consummate and make effective the Exchange Offer contemplated by this Agreement and the acquisition of the Common Stock by the Holders.

Consent Solicitation		Holders who tender Existing Notes pursuant to the Exchange Offer are required to deliver a Consent, which will constitute a consent to the Amendments to the Existing Indenture, as described further in “The Amendments to the Existing Indenture” and “Annex A: Form of Supplemental Indenture.” By tendering their Existing Notes, Eligible Holders will be deemed to have delivered Consents to the Amendments with respect to such Existing Notes being tendered.

Requisite Consents; Supplemental Indenture		In order to approve the Amendments with respect to the Existing Notes, Consents must be delivered and not revoked in respect of at least a majority of the outstanding principal amount of Existing Notes. Promptly following the Expiration Date, if the requisite Consents are delivered with respect to the Existing Notes, W&T, the guarantors under the Existing Notes and the trustee for the Existing Notes will enter into a supplemental indenture to give effect to the Amendments. The Amendments will not become operative until the consummation of the Exchange Offer. See “Description of the Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation—Conditions to the Exchange Offer.” The calculation of the requisite Consents for the Existing Notes does not include any Existing Notes held by us or our affiliates. In the event that we do not consummate the Exchange Offer for any reason, the indenture governing the Existing Notes will remain in effect in its current form. The consummation of the Exchange Offer is conditioned upon the receipt of the requisite

A-4


		Consents to approve the applicable Amendments and the execution and delivery of the supplemental indenture giving effect to such Amendments. We may not consummate the Exchange Offer or execute the supplemental indenture without receiving the requisite Consents pursuant to the Consent Solicitations. See “The Amendments to the Existing Indenture.”

Withdrawal of Tenders		Tenders of Existing Notes in the Exchange Offer may be validly withdrawn at any time on or prior to the Withdrawal Deadline except in certain limited circumstances as set forth herein. The Withdrawal Deadline will be 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on August [8], 2016, unless extended or earlier terminated. Tenders submitted in the Exchange Offer after the Withdrawal Deadline will be irrevocable except in the limited circumstances where additional withdrawal rights are required by law. See “Description of the Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation—Withdrawal of Tenders.”

Conditions to the Exchange Offer		W&T’s obligation to accept Existing Notes in the Exchange Offer is subject to (a) the valid tender, without withdrawal, of a minimum of 95%, or $855.0 million, of the outstanding aggregate principal amount of Existing Notes by Eligible Holders as of the Expiration Date, (b) the Requisite Consents having been received, without withdrawal, prior to the Expiration Date, (c) the approval by our shareholders of both the Authorized Shares Proposal and the Exchange Offer Proposal at the Special Meeting, (d) the amendment to our revolving bank credit facility to permit the consummation of the Exchange Offer and (e) the General Conditions. Subject to applicable law, W&T expressly reserves the right, in consultation with the Required Holders, to amend the Exchange Offer in any respect and to terminate the Exchange Offer if the conditions to the Exchange Offer are not satisfied. If the Exchange Offer is terminated at any time, the Existing Notes tendered pursuant to the Exchange Offer will be promptly returned to the tendering Eligible Holders. W&T may waive, at any time prior to the Expiration Date, the Minimum Tender Condition¹ in consultation with the Required

¹	The “Minimum Tender Condition” is defined as the valid tender, without withdrawal, of a minimum of 95%, or $855.0 million, of the outstanding aggregate principal amount of Existing Notes by Eligible Holders as of the Expiration Date.

A-5


		Holders and any of the General Conditions. If W&T waives the Minimum Tender Condition, W&T shall not be obligated to extend the Withdrawal Deadline. Accordingly, the aggregate principal amount of Existing Notes accepted for exchange pursuant to the Exchange Offer may be significantly less than the aggregate principal amount set forth by the Minimum Tender Condition. See “Description of the Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation—Conditions to the Exchange Offer.”

Minimum Tender Condition		95%.

Termination; Extension; Amendment		W&T, in its sole discretion, may extend the Early Participation Date and the Expiration Date with respect to the Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation, subject to applicable law. W&T expressly reserves the right, in its sole discretion and with respect to the Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation, to: (i) delay accepting any Existing Notes, extend the Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation or terminate the Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation and not accept any Existing Notes; (ii) extend the Early Participation Date without extending the Withdrawal Deadline; and (iii) amend, modify or waive in part or whole, at any time, or from time to time, the terms of the Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation in any respect, including waiver of any conditions to consummation of the Exchange Offer. See “Description of the Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation—Early Participation Date; Expiration Date; Extensions; Amendments; Termination.”

Procedures for Tendering		If Eligible Holders wish to participate in the Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation, and their Existing Notes are held by a custodial entity, such as a bank, broker, dealer, trust company or other nominee, Eligible Holders must instruct that custodial entity to tender their Existing Notes on their behalf pursuant to the procedures of that custodial entity. Eligible Holders are encouraged to contact their custodial entity as soon as possible to give them sufficient time to meet the requested deadline. Custodial entities that are participants in DTC must tender Existing Notes through the ATOP maintained by DTC, by which tender the custodial entity and the beneficial owner on whose behalf the custodial entity is acting agree to be bound by the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the letter of transmittal.

A-6


		Eligible Holders that are beneficial owners that hold Existing Notes through Euroclear or Clearstream and wish to tender their Existing Notes, must instruct Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, to tender such Existing Notes and block the account in respect of the tendered Existing Notes in accordance with the procedures established by Euroclear or Clearstream. Eligible Holders are encouraged to contact Euroclear or Clearstream directly to ascertain their procedures for tendering Notes. See “Description of the Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation— Procedures for Tendering.” For further information, Eligible Holders should contact the Dealer Manager, the Information Agent or the Exchange Agent at their respective telephone numbers and addresses set forth on the back cover of this offering memorandum or consult their broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee for assistance.

Consequences for Failure to Exchange		Existing Notes that are not validly tendered or that are validly tendered but validly withdrawn will remain outstanding and will continue to be subject to their existing terms. The trading market for outstanding Existing Notes not exchanged in the Exchange Offer may be more limited than it is at present. Therefore, if your Existing Notes are not tendered and accepted in the Exchange Offer, it may become more difficult for you to sell or transfer your unexchanged Existing Notes. Claims regarding the Existing Notes remaining outstanding following the completion of the Exchange Offer will be effectively subordinated to claims with respect to the New Second Lien Notes to the extent of the value of the collateral and effectively pari passu with the New Unsecured Notes, assuming the Minimum Tender Condition is satisfied. In the event the Minimum Tender Condition is not satisfied and at least two-thirds of the participating holders party to a Support Agreement (the “Support Agreement”) in terms of aggregated principal amount of Existing Notes do not waive such Minimum Tender Condition, the Existing Notes will be effectively subordinated to claims with respect to the New Unsecured Notes to the extent of the value of the collateral.

A-7


		See “Risk Factors” for a more detailed description of the foregoing risks and other risks relating to the Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation.

Support Agreement		W&T has entered into the Support Agreement with holders of [●]% of the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Existing Notes, pursuant to which such holders have agreed to tender their Existing Notes in the Exchange Offer.

New Capital Financing		Simultaneously with the closing of the Exchange Offering, W&T expects to enter into a 1.5 lien secured term loan facility in the principal amount of $75.0 million (the “New Capital Financing”). The New Capital Financing will be open, on a pro rata basis, only to holders of Existing Notes who enter into the Support Agreement and enter into a commitment letter with W&T to provide the New Capital Financing for up to the full $75.0 million principal amount of 1.5 lien secured term loans; provided that each participant in the New Capital Financing must hold 1.5 lien secured term loans in a principal amount of at least $1,000,000.

Brokerage Fees and Commissions		No brokerage fees or commissions are payable by the holders of the Existing Notes to the Dealer Manager, the Exchange Agent or W&T in connection with the Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation. If a tendering holder handles the transaction through its broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other institution, that holder may be required to pay brokerage fees or commissions.

[Original Issue Discount		The New Second Lien Notes and the New Unsecured Notes issued in the Exchange Offer will be treated as issued with original issue discount for U.S. federal income tax purposes if the difference between the principal amount of the New Second Lien Notes and the New Unsecured Notes and their respective issue price is equal to or greater than a specified de minimis amount. If the New Second Lien Notes or the New Unsecured Notes are treated as having original issue discount, U.S. Holders (as defined in “Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations”), whether on the cash or accrual method of tax accounting, will be required to include any amounts representing original issue discount in gross income (as ordinary income) on a constant yield to maturity basis for U.S. federal income tax purposes in advance of the receipt of

DESCRIPTION OF THE EXCHANGE OFFER AND CONSENT SOLICITATION

The Exchange Offer; Exchange Consideration

W&T is offering to exchange, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this offering memorandum and the related letter of transmittal.

Eligible Holders of Existing Notes will be eligible to receive the applicable Total Exchange Consideration set forth under “—Total Exchange Consideration; Early Tender Premium” below for Existing Notes validly tendered at or before the Early Participation Date and not validly withdrawn. For Existing Notes validly tendered after the Early Participation Date and before the Expiration Date, Eligible Holders of Existing Notes will be eligible to receive the Exchange Consideration, which will consist of (i) 69 Shares, (ii) $200 in principal amount of New Second Lien Notes and (iii) $200 in principal amount of New Unsecured Notes, for each $1,000 principal amount of Existing Notes validly tendered on or before the Expiration Date and accepted for exchange. In addition, Eligible Holders whose Existing Notes are accepted for exchange pursuant to the Exchange Offer will receive a cash payment representing accrued and unpaid interest on their Existing Notes to, but not including, the Settlement Date.

Existing Notes may be tendered only in principal amounts equal to minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. No alternative, conditional or contingent tenders will be accepted. Eligible Holders who do not tender all of their Existing Notes should ensure that they retain a principal amount of Existing Notes amounting to at least the minimum denomination equal to $2,000.

The New Second Lien Notes and New Unsecured Notes will only be issued in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. No tender of Existing Notes will be accepted if it results in the issuance of less than $2,000 principal amount of either New Second Lien Notes or New Unsecured Notes. If, pursuant to the Exchange Offer, a tendering Eligible Holder would otherwise be entitled to receive a principal amount of New Second Lien Notes or New Unsecured Notes that is not equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof, such principal amount will be rounded down to the nearest $2,000 or integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. This rounded amount will be the principal amount of the New Second Lien Notes or New Unsecured Notes, as the case may be, such Eligible Holder will receive and no cash will be paid in lieu of any principal amount of either New Second Lien Notes or New Unsecured Notes as a result of the rounding down.

Total Exchange Consideration; Early Tender Premium

For each $1,000 principal amount of Existing Notes accepted for exchange that were validly tendered at or before the Early Participation Date and not validly withdrawn, Eligible Holders of Existing Notes will be eligible to receive the Total Exchange Consideration, which equals the Exchange Consideration plus the Early Tender Premium. For each $1,000 principal amount of Existing Notes accepted for exchange that is validly tendered after the Early Participation Date but prior to the Expiration Date, Eligible Holders of Existing Notes will be eligible to receive only the Exchange Consideration, which does not include the Early Tender Premium. In addition to the Exchange Consideration or the Total Exchange Consideration, Eligible Holders of Existing Notes accepted for exchange in the Exchange Offer will also receive a cash payment equal to the accrued and unpaid interest in respect of such Existing Notes from June 15, 2016 (the most recent interest payment date) to, but not including, the Settlement Date.

Early Participation Date; Expiration Date; Extensions; Amendments; Termination

The Early Participation Date is 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on August [8], 2016, subject to W&T’s right to extend that time and date in W&T’s sole discretion (which right is subject to applicable law), in which case the Early Participation Date means the latest time and date to which the Early Participation Date is extended. The Expiration Date is 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on August [29], 2016, subject to W&T’s right to extend that time and date (which right is subject to applicable law) in consultation with the Required Holders (which right is subject to applicable law), in which case the Expiration Date means the latest time and date to which the Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation is extended. To extend the Expiration Date, W&T will notify the Exchange Agent and will make a public announcement thereof before 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the next business day after the previously scheduled Expiration Date. The public announcement will include the approximate principal amount of the Existing Notes that had been validly tendered and not validly withdrawn. During any extension of the Early Participation Date or the Expiration Date, all Existing Notes previously tendered in an extended Exchange Offer will remain subject to such Exchange Offer and may be accepted for exchange by W&T.

Subject to applicable law, W&T expressly reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to:

•

delay accepting any Existing Notes, to extend the Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation or to terminate the Exchange Offer and not accept any Existing Notes;

•

extend the Early Participation Date without extending the Withdrawal Deadline; and

•

amend, modify or waive in part or whole, at any time, or from time to time, the terms of the Exchange Offer in any respect, including waiver of any conditions to consummation of the Exchange Offer; provided, however, that W&T may only waive the Minimum Tender Condition or modify the Exchange Consideration in consultation with the Required Holders.

If W&T exercises any such right, it will give written notice thereof to the Exchange Agent and will make a public announcement thereof as promptly as practicable. Without limiting the manner in which W&T may choose to make a public announcement of any extension, amendment or termination of the Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation, W&T will not be obligated to publish, advertise or otherwise communicate any such public announcement, other than by making a timely press release. The minimum period during which the Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation will remain open following

A-11

material changes in the terms of the Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation or in the information concerning the Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation will depend upon the facts and circumstances of such change, including the relative materiality of the changes. In accordance with Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act, if W&T elects to change the consideration offered or the Existing Notes sought, the Exchange Offer will remain open for a minimum ten business-day period following the date that the notice of such change is first published or sent to Eligible Holders. If the terms of the Exchange Offer are amended in a manner determined by W&T to constitute a material change adversely affecting any Eligible Holder, W&T will promptly disclose any such amendment in a manner reasonably calculated to inform Eligible Holders of such amendment, and W&T will extend the Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation for a time period that it deems appropriate, depending upon the significance of the amendment and the manner of disclosure to Eligible Holders, if the Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation would otherwise expire during such time period. For the avoidance of doubt, if W&T waives the Minimum Tender Condition, W&T will not be obligated to extend the Withdrawal Deadline.

Settlement Date

The Settlement Date will occur promptly after the Expiration Date and is expected to occur on the third business day after the Expiration Date. W&T will not be obligated to deliver Shares, New Second Lien Notes, New Unsecured Notes and any cash payments unless the Exchange Offer is consummated.

Holders Eligible to Participate in the Exchange Offer

W&T will conduct the Exchange Offer in accordance with the applicable requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the SEC thereunder. Prior to the distribution of this offering memorandum, Eligible Holders of Existing Notes have certified that each such holder is either a QIB as defined in Rule 144A, or a person that is not a “U.S. person” within the meaning of Regulation S.

Only Eligible Holders of Existing Notes who have properly completed and returned the eligibility certification, which is available from the Information Agent, are authorized to receive and review this offering memorandum and to participate in the Exchange Offer.

Consent Solicitation

Holders who tender Existing Notes pursuant to the Exchange Offer are required to deliver a Consent, which will constitute a consent to the Amendments to the Existing Indenture, as described further in “The Amendments to the Existing Indenture” and “Annex A: Form of Supplemental Indenture.” By tendering their Existing Notes, Eligible Holders will be deemed to have delivered Consents to the Amendments with respect to such Existing Notes being tendered.

In order to approve the Amendments with respect to the Existing Notes, Consents must be delivered and not revoked in respect of at least a majority of the outstanding principal amount of Existing Notes. Promptly following the Expiration Date, if the requisite Consents are delivered with respect to the Existing Notes, W&T, the guarantors under the Existing Notes and the trustee for the Existing Notes will enter into a supplemental indenture to give effect to the Amendments. The Amendments will not become operative until the consummation of the Exchange Offer. The calculation of the requisite Consents for the Existing Notes does not include any Existing Notes held by us or our affiliates. In the event that we do not consummate the Exchange Offer for any reason, the indenture governing the Existing Notes will remain in effect in its current form. The consummation of the Exchange Offer is conditioned upon the receipt of the requisite Consents to approve the applicable Amendments and the execution and delivery of the supplemental indenture giving effect to such Amendments. W&T may not consummate the Exchange Offer or execute the supplemental indenture without receiving the requisite Consents pursuant to the Consent Solicitations. See “The Amendments to the Existing Indenture.”

A-12

Conditions to the Exchange Offer

W&T’s obligation to accept for exchange Existing Notes validly tendered pursuant to the Exchange Offer is subject to (a) the valid tender, without withdrawal, of a minimum of 95%, or $855.0 million, of the outstanding aggregate principal amount of Existing Notes by Eligible Holders as of the Expiration Date; (b) the Consents from Holders of at least a majority of the outstanding principal amount of the Existing Notes to the Amendments having been received, without withdrawal, prior to the Expiration Date to permit the issuance of the New Second Lien Notes under the Existing Indenture; (c) the approval by our shareholders of both the Authorized Shares Proposal and the Exchange Offer Proposal at the Special Meeting; and (d) the amendment to our revolving bank credit facility to permit the consummation of the Exchange Offer. Additionally, notwithstanding any other provision of this offering memorandum, W&T will not be required to accept for exchange Existing Notes tendered pursuant to the Exchange Offer and may terminate, extend or amend the Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation and may postpone the acceptance for exchange of Existing Notes so tendered if the General Conditions have not been satisfied or waived. W&T may waive, at any time prior to the Expiration Date, the Minimum Tender Condition in consultation with the Required Holders and any of the General Conditions. Accordingly, the aggregate principal amount of Existing Notes accepted for exchange pursuant to the Exchange Offer may be significantly less than the aggregate principal amount set forth by the Minimum Tender Condition.

General Conditions

All of the “General Conditions” shall be deemed to be satisfied unless any of the following conditions shall occur on or after the date of this offering memorandum and at or prior to the Expiration Date:

•

there shall have been instituted, threatened or be pending any action, proceeding or investigation (whether formal or informal) (or there shall have been any material adverse development with respect to any action or proceeding currently instituted, threatened or pending) before or by any court, governmental, regulatory or administrative agency or instrumentality, or by any other person, in connection with the Exchange Offer that, in our reasonable judgment either (a) is, or is likely to be, adverse to our business, operations, properties, condition (financial or otherwise), assets, liabilities or prospects, or (b) would or might prohibit, prevent, restrict or delay consummation of the Exchange Offer;

•

an order, statute, rule, regulation, executive order, stay, decree, judgment or injunction shall have been proposed, enacted, entered, issued, promulgated, enforced or deemed applicable by any court or governmental, regulatory or administrative agency or instrumentality that, in our reasonable judgment, either (a) would or might prohibit, prevent, restrict or delay consummation of the Exchange Offer, or (b) is, or is likely to be, materially adverse to our business, operations, properties, condition (financial or otherwise), assets, liabilities or prospects;

•

there shall have occurred or be likely to occur any event affecting our or our subsidiaries’ business or financial affairs that, in our reasonable judgment, would or might prohibit, prevent, restrict or delay consummation of the Exchange Offer;

•

the trustee shall have objected in any respect to or taken action that could, in our reasonable judgment, adversely affect the consummation of the Exchange Offer or shall have taken any action that challenges the validity or effectiveness of the procedures used by us in the making of the Exchange Offer or the acceptance of, or payment for, the Existing Notes; or

•

there has occurred (a) any general suspension of, or limitation on prices for, trading in securities in the United States securities or financial markets, (b) a declaration of a banking moratorium or any suspension of payments with respect to banks in the United States or other major financial markets, (c) any limitation (whether or not mandatory) by any government or governmental, administrative or regulatory authority or agency, domestic or foreign, or other event that, in our reasonable judgment, might affect the extension of credit by banks or other lending institutions, (d) a commencement of a war, armed hostilities, terrorist acts or other national or international calamity directly or indirectly involving the United States, or (e) in the case of any of the foregoing existing on the date hereof, in our reasonable judgment, a material acceleration or worsening thereof.

A-13

Additional Information

The General Conditions are for our sole benefit and may be asserted by us regardless of the circumstances, including any action or inaction by us, giving rise to such condition or may be waived by us in whole or in part at any time, and from time to time, prior to the Expiration Date in our sole discretion. If any condition to the Exchange Offer (including the General Conditions) is not satisfied or waived by us prior to the Expiration Date, we reserve the right, but will not be obligated, subject to applicable law:

•

to terminate the Exchange Offer and return any tendered Existing Notes;

•

to waive all unsatisfied conditions and accept for exchange all Existing Notes that are validly tendered prior to the Expiration Date;

•

to extend the Exchange Offer and retain the Existing Notes that have been tendered during the period for which the Exchange Offer is extended; or

•

to amend the Exchange Offer.

The failure by us at any time to exercise any of the foregoing rights will not be deemed a waiver of any other right and each right will be deemed an ongoing right that may be asserted at any time and from time to time. Any determination made by us concerning an event, development or circumstance described or referred to above will be final and binding on all parties.

Treatment of Existing Notes Not Tendered in the Exchange Offer

Existing Notes that are not tendered or that are tendered but not accepted will remain outstanding and will continue to be subject to their existing terms immediately following the completion of the Exchange Offer. The Existing Notes that remain outstanding will be effectively junior, to the extent of the value of the collateral, to our and the subsidiary guarantors’ secured obligations, including our revolving bank credit facility, the New Second Lien Notes, the Existing Term Loans and any other lien obligations, including the New Unsecured Notes in the event the Minimum Tender Condition is not satisfied and at least two-thirds of the participating holders party to the Support Agreement in terms of aggregated principal amount of Existing Notes do not waive such Minimum Tender Condition.

From time to time before or after the Expiration Date, W&T or its affiliates may acquire any Existing Notes that are not tendered and accepted in the Exchange Offer through open market purchases,

A-14

privately negotiated transactions, exchange offers, redemption or otherwise, upon such terms and at such prices as W&T may determine (or as may be provided for in the indenture governing the Existing Notes), which may be more or less than the consideration to be received by participating Eligible Holders in the Exchange Offer and, in either case, could be for cash or other consideration. There can be no assurance as to which, if any, of these alternatives or combinations thereof W&T or its affiliates may choose to pursue in the future.

The trading market for the Existing Notes that are not exchanged could become more limited than the existing trading market for the Existing Notes and could cease to exist altogether due to the reduction in the principal amount of the Existing Notes outstanding upon consummation of the Exchange Offer. A more limited trading market might adversely affect the liquidity, market price and price volatility of the Existing Notes. If a market for the Existing Notes that are not exchanged exists or develops, the Existing Notes may trade at a discount to the price at which they would trade if the principal amount outstanding were not reduced. See “Risk Factors.”

Effect of Tender

Any tender by an Eligible Holder, and W&T’s subsequent acceptance of that tender, of Existing Notes will constitute a binding agreement between that Eligible Holder and W&T upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Exchange Offer described in this offering memorandum and in the letter of transmittal. The participation in the Exchange Offer by a tendering Eligible Holder will constitute the agreement by that Eligible Holder to deliver good and marketable title to the tendered Existing Notes, free and clear of any and all liens, restrictions, charges, pledges, security interests, encumbrances or rights of any kind of third parties.

Letter of Transmittal; Representations, Warranties and Covenants of Holders of Existing Notes

For physical or facsimile delivery of a letter of transmittal, please complete, sign and date the letter of transmittal in accordance with the instructions set forth therein. A letter of transmittal need not accompany tenders effected through ATOP. Eligible Holders tendering Existing Notes through ATOP will be deemed to agree to the terms set forth in the letter of transmittal pursuant to an Agent’s Message.

Upon the agreement to the terms of the letter of transmittal pursuant to an Agent’s Message or submission of a letter of transmittal, as applicable (as described under “—Procedures for Tendering”), an Eligible Holder, or the beneficial holder of Existing Notes on behalf of which the Eligible Holder has tendered, will, subject to that Eligible Holder’s ability to withdraw its tender, and subject to the terms and conditions of the Exchange Offer generally, be deemed, among other things, to:

•

irrevocably sell, assign and transfer to or upon W&T’s order or the order of W&T’s nominee all right, title and interest in and to, and any and all claims in respect of or arising or having arisen as a result of the Eligible Holder’s status as a holder of, all Existing Notes tendered thereby, such that thereafter the Eligible Holder shall have no contractual or other rights or claims in law or equity against any fiduciary, trustee, fiscal agent or other person connected with the Existing Notes arising under, from or in connection with those Existing Notes;

•

waive any and all rights with respect to the Existing Notes tendered thereby, including, without limitation, any existing or past defaults and their consequences in respect of those Existing Notes; and

•

release and discharge W&T and the trustee with respect to the indentures governing the Existing Notes from any and all claims that the Eligible Holder may have, now or in the future, arising out of or related to the Existing Notes tendered thereby, including, without limitation, any claims that the Eligible Holder is entitled to receive additional principal or interest payments with respect to the Existing Notes tendered thereby, other than accrued and unpaid interest on the Existing Notes or as otherwise expressly provided in this offering memorandum and in the letter of transmittal, or to participate in any redemption or defeasance of the Existing Notes tendered thereby.

A-15

In addition, each Eligible Holder of Existing Notes tendered in the Exchange Offer upon the agreement to the terms of the letter of transmittal pursuant to an Agent’s Message, or the submission of a letter of transmittal, will be deemed to represent, warrant and agree that:

•

it has received this offering memorandum;

•

it is the beneficial owner (as defined herein) of, or a duly authorized representative of one or more beneficial owners of, the Existing Notes tendered thereby, and it has full power and authority to execute and/or agree to the letter of transmittal;

•

•

it will not sell, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise encumber or transfer Existing Notes tendered thereby from the date of the letter of transmittal, and any purported sale, pledge, hypothecation or other encumbrance or transfer will be void and of no effect;

•

it is, or, in the event that it is acting on behalf of a beneficial owner of the Existing Notes tendered thereby, it has received a written certification from that beneficial owner, dated as of a specific date on or since the close of that beneficial owner’s most recent fiscal year, to the effect that that beneficial owner is a QIB and is acquiring Shares, New Second Lien Notes and New Unsecured Notes for its own account or for a discretionary account or accounts on behalf of one or more QIBs as to which it has been instructed and has the authority to make the statements contained in the letter of transmittal;

•

it is not resident and/or located in any Member State of the European Economic Area which has implemented the Prospectus Directive (each a “Relevant Member State”), or if located and/or resident in a Relevant Member State is a qualified investor as defined in Article 2.1(e) of the Prospectus Directive;

•

it is otherwise a person to whom it is lawful to make available this offering memorandum or to make the Exchange Offer in accordance with applicable laws (including the transfer restrictions set out in this offering memorandum);

•

it has had access to such financial and other information and has been afforded the opportunity to ask such questions of representatives of W&T and receive answers thereto, as it deems necessary in connection with its decision to participate in the Exchange Offer;

•

it acknowledges that W&T, the Dealer Manager, and others will rely upon the truth and accuracy of the foregoing acknowledgements, representations and agreements and agrees that if any of the

A-16

acknowledgements, representations and warranties made by its agreement to the terms of a letter of transmittal pursuant to an Agent’s Message, or the submission of a letter of transmittal, are, at any time prior to the consummation of the Exchange Offer, no longer accurate, it shall promptly notify W&T and the Dealer Manager.

A-17

The representations, warranties and agreements of an Eligible Holder tendering Existing Notes will be deemed to be repeated and reconfirmed on and as of the Expiration Date and the Settlement Date. For purposes of this offering memorandum, the “beneficial owner” of any Existing Notes means any Eligible Holder that exercises investment discretion with respect to those Existing Notes.

Absence of Appraisal and Dissenters’ Rights

Holders of the Existing Notes do not have any appraisal or dissenters’ rights in connection with the Exchange Offer.

Acceptance of Existing Notes for Exchange and Delivery of the Consideration

On the Settlement Date, the Shares, New Second Lien Notes and New Unsecured Notes to be issued in exchange for the Existing Notes tendered in the Exchange Offer, if consummated, will be delivered in book-entry form, and payment of any cash amounts will be made by deposit of funds with DTC, Clearstream or Euroclear, as applicable, which will transmit those payments to tendering Eligible Holders.

For the purposes of the Exchange Offer, the Company will be deemed to have accepted properly tendered Existing Notes for exchange if and when the Company gives written notice to the Exchange Agent.

In all cases, issuance of the Shares, New Second Lien Notes and New Unsecured Notes for the Existing Notes that are accepted for exchange will be made only:

•

upon satisfaction of the waiver by W&T of the Minimum Tender Condition;

•

upon satisfaction of the General Conditions;

•

in the case of Existing Notes held through DTC, after timely receipt by the Exchange Agent of a timely book-entry confirmation of such Existing Notes into the Exchange Agent’s account at DTC or, in the case of Existing Notes held through Euroclear or Clearstream, confirmation that the relevant Existing Notes have been tendered and blocked in the relevant Eligible Holder’s account(s) in Euroclear or Clearstream;

•

in the case of Existing Notes held through DTC, after timely receipt by the Exchange Agent of an Agent’s Message (as defined below in “—Procedures for Tendering”); and

•

all other required documents.

Eligible Holders may submit all or part of their Existing Notes currently held. The Exchange Agent will act as agent for tendering Eligible Holders of Existing Notes for the purpose of receiving Existing Notes and transmitting Shares, New Second Lien Notes and New Unsecured Notes and cash as of the Settlement Date. If any tendered Existing Notes are not accepted for any reason described in the terms and conditions of the Exchange Offer, such unaccepted Existing Notes will be returned without expense to the tendering Eligible Holders promptly after the expiration or termination of the Exchange Offer.

If, for any reason, acceptance for exchange of tendered Existing Notes, issuance of Shares, New Second Lien Notes and New Unsecured Notes in exchange for validly tendered Existing Notes, pursuant to the Exchange Offer is delayed, or W&T is unable to accept tendered Existing Notes for exchange or to

A-18

issue Shares, New Second Lien Notes and New Unsecured Notes in exchange for validly tendered Existing Notes pursuant to the Exchange Offer, then the Exchange Agent may, nevertheless, on behalf of W&T, retain the tendered Existing Notes, without prejudice to the rights of W&T described under “—Early Participation Date; Expiration Date; Extensions; Amendments; Termination,” and “—Conditions to the Exchange Offer” above and “—Withdrawal of Tenders” below, but subject to Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act, which requires that W&T pay the consideration offered or return the Existing Notes tendered promptly after the termination or withdrawal of the Exchange Offer, and the tendered Existing Notes may not be withdrawn.

Under no circumstances will any interest be payable because of any delay by the Exchange Agent or DTC in the transmission of funds to the Eligible Holders of accepted Notes or otherwise.

Procedures for Tendering

The tender for exchange by an Eligible Holder (and the subsequent acceptance of such tender by the Company) pursuant to one of the procedures set forth below will constitute a binding agreement between the Eligible Holder and the Company in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein and in the letter of transmittal.

The Company believes that, as of the date of this offering memorandum, all Eligible Holders hold their Existing Notes through accounts with DTC, Euroclear or Clearstream (collectively, the “Clearing Systems”) and that no Existing Notes are held in physical definitive form. Eligible Holders who hold Existing Notes through the Clearing Systems must tender for exchange Existing Notes through the relevant Clearing System procedures. Beneficial owners whose Existing Notes are held through a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee must contact such broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee if they wish to tender their Existing Notes. Eligible Holders should be aware that their broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee may establish its own earlier deadline for participation in the Exchange Offer. Accordingly, Eligible Holders wishing to participate in the Exchange Offer should contact their broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee as soon as possible in order to determine the time by which such Eligible Holder must take action in order to so participate.

Existing Notes Held through DTC

Custodial entities that are participants in DTC, other than DTC participants which are acting as custodians for Existing Notes held through Euroclear or Clearstream, must tender Existing Notes for exchange through DTC’s ATOP system the rules of which the custodial entity and the beneficial owner on whose behalf the custodial entity is acting, agree to be bound. In accordance with ATOP procedures, DTC will then verify the acceptance of the Exchange Offer and send an Agent’s Message to the Exchange Agent. An “Agent’s Message” is a message transmitted by DTC, received by the Exchange Agent and forming part of the book-entry confirmation, which states that DTC has received an express acknowledgement from the Eligible Holder that it has (i) received the Exchange Offer, (ii) will abide by the terms of the Exchange Offer and the letter of transmittal, and (iii) has made the confirmations or affirmations that are set forth in this offering memorandum and the letter of transmittal.

If an Eligible Holder of Existing Notes transmits its acceptance of this Exchange Offer through ATOP, delivery of an Agent’s Message must be timely received by the Exchange Agent. If you desire to tender your Existing Notes by the Expiration Date or, in order to receive the Early Tender Premium, on or prior to the Early Participation Date, you must allow sufficient time for completion of the ATOP procedures during the normal business hours of DTC on or prior to the Expiration Date or the Early Participation Date, as the case may be. The Company will have the right, which may be waived, to reject the defective tender of Existing Notes as invalid and ineffective.

A-19

Existing Notes Held through Participants of Euroclear and Clearstream

Custodial entities that are participants of Euroclear and Clearstream, and which desire to tender Existing Notes for exchange held directly or indirectly at one of such Clearing Systems, must instruct either Euroclear or Clearstream (as applicable) to block the Existing Notes in their account and transmit a notice of acceptance in respect of the Exchange Offer with respect to the tendered Existing Notes, which must include a confirmation of blocking and an express acknowledgement from the Eligible Holder that such Eligible Holder has (i) received the Exchange Offer, (ii) will abide by the terms of the Exchange Offer and the letter of transmittal, and (iii) has made the confirmations or affirmations which are set forth in this offering memorandum or the letter of transmittal. Such notice of acceptance (including a confirmation of blocking) must be timely received by the Exchange Agent from Euroclear or Clearstream (or via their respective U.S. DTC custodians) via an appropriate SWIFT message or via DTC’s ATOP prior to the Expiration Date or, in order to receive the Early Tender Premium, on or prior to the Early Participation Date.

Eligible Holders of Existing Notes held via Euroclear or Clearstream who are not direct participants of Euroclear or Clearstream must contact their custodian to arrange for their direct participants in the relevant Clearing System through which they hold Existing Notes to submit the electronic acceptance and to give instruction to the relevant Clearing System to block the relevant Existing Notes in accordance with the procedures of the relevant Clearing System and the deadlines required by the relevant Clearing System.

Euroclear or Clearstream may impose additional deadlines in order to properly process tender instructions. As part of tendering Existing Notes through Euroclear or Clearstream, you should be aware of and comply with any such deadlines.

The Exchange Agent and DTC have confirmed that the Exchange Offer is eligible for ATOP with respect to book-entry Existing Notes held through DTC. An Agent’s Message must be transmitted to and received by the Exchange Agent prior to the Expiration Date or, in order to receive the Early Tender Premium, on or prior to the Early Participation Date with respect to Existing Notes held via DTC. Existing Notes will not be deemed to have been tendered for exchange via DTC until an Agent’s Message, is received by the Exchange Agent

ELIGIBLE HOLDERS OF THE EXISTING NOTES SHOULD NOTE THAT EACH OF DTC, EUROCLEAR OR CLEARSTREAM IMPOSES DAILY DEADLINES FOR THE SUBMISSION OF ELECTRONIC INSTRUCTIONS. ACCORDINGLY, ELIGIBLE HOLDERS OF EXISTING NOTES WISHING TO PARTICIPATE IN THE EXCHANGE OFFER ARE ADVISED TO ENSURE THAT THEY SUBMIT, OR ARRANGE TO HAVE SUBMITTED ON THEIR BEHALF, ANY ELECTRONIC INSTRUCTION IN ADVANCE OF SUCH DEADLINES IMPOSED BY DTC, EUROCLEAR OR CLEARSTREAM, AS THE CASE MAY BE. IN ADDITION, ELIGIBLE HOLDERS OF EXISTING NOTES SHOULD CHECK WITH THE BANK, SECURITIES BROKER OR ANY OTHER INTERMEDIARY THROUGH WHICH THEY HOLD THEIR EXISTING NOTES WHETHER SUCH INTERMEDIARY APPLIES DIFFERENT DEADLINES TO PARTICIPATE IN THE EXCHANGE OFFER THAN SET OUT IN THIS OFFERING MEMORANDUM OR, AS THE CASE MAY BE, AS IMPOSED BY DTC, EUROCLEAR OR CLEARSTREAM, AS APPLICABLE, AND THEN SHOULD FOLLOW THOSE DEADLINES.

A-20

All questions as to the validity, form, eligibility, including time of receipt, and acceptance and withdrawal of tendered Notes will be determined by us in our absolute discretion, which determination will be final and binding. We reserve the absolute right to reject any and all tendered Notes determined by us not to be in proper form or not to be tendered properly or any tendered Notes our acceptance of which would, in the opinion of our counsel, be unlawful. We also reserve the right to waive, in our absolute discretion, any defects, irregularities or conditions of tender as to particular Notes, whether or not waived in the case of other Notes. Our interpretation of the terms and conditions of the Exchange Offer, including the terms and instructions in the letter of transmittal, will be final and binding on all parties. Unless waived, any defects or irregularities in connection with tenders of Existing Notes must be cured within the time we determine. Although we intend to notify Eligible Holders of defects or irregularities with respect to tenders of Existing Notes, none of W&T, the Exchange Agent, the Information Agent, the Dealer Manager or any other person will be under any duty to give that notification or shall incur any liability for failure to give that notification. Tenders of Existing Notes with respect to such Existing Notes will not be deemed to have been made until any defects or irregularities therein have been cured or waived.

Any Eligible Holder whose Notes have been mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed will be responsible for obtaining replacement securities or for arranging for indemnification with the trustee of the Existing Notes. Eligible Holders may contact the Information Agent for assistance with these matters.

Withdrawal of Tenders

Tenders of Existing Notes in the Exchange Offer may be validly withdrawn at any time on or prior to the Withdrawal Deadline, but will thereafter be irrevocable, even if we otherwise extend the Early Participation Date or extend the Exchange Offer beyond the Expiration Date, except in certain limited circumstances where additional withdrawal rights are required by law. Tenders submitted in the Exchange Offer after the Withdrawal Deadline will be irrevocable except in the limited circumstances where additional withdrawal rights are required by law.

To be effective, a notice of withdrawal must be received by the Exchange Agent through ATOP (or analogous procedures of either Euroclear or Clearstream), in each case not later than the Withdrawal Deadline.

This notice must specify:

•

the name of the person or entity having tendered the Existing Notes to be withdrawn; and

•

the Existing Notes to be withdrawn including the name and the participant account number of the participant entity at either DTC, Euroclear or Clearstream to be credited with the withdrawn Notes.

Eligible Holders of the Existing Notes are advised to inform themselves with the bank, securities broker or any other intermediary through which they hold their Existing Notes whether such intermediary would require receiving instructions to participate in, or withdraw their instruction to participate in, the Exchange Offer prior to the deadlines set out in this offering memorandum.

We will make a final and binding determination on all questions as to the validity, form and eligibility (including time of receipt) of such notices. Any Existing Notes so withdrawn will be deemed not to have been validly tendered for exchange for the purposes of the Exchange Offer. Any Existing Notes tendered for exchange but not exchanged for any reason will be released to the Eligible Holder pursuant to the book-entry transfer procedures described above and such Existing Notes will be credited to an account maintained with the relevant Clearing System for the Existing Notes promptly after withdrawal, rejection of tender or termination of the Exchange Offer.

A-21

Withdrawal of tenders of Existing Notes may not be rescinded, and any Existing Notes validly withdrawn will thereafter be deemed not to have been validly tendered for purposes of the Exchange Offer. Validly withdrawn Existing Notes may, however, be re-tendered by again following one of the procedures described in “—Procedures for Tendering” above prior to the Expiration Date or, in order to receive the Early Tender Premium, on or prior to the Early Participation Date.

Exchange Agent; Information Agent

D.F. King has been appointed as the Exchange Agent and the Information Agent for the Exchange Offer. All correspondence in connection with the Exchange Offer should be sent or delivered by each Eligible Holder of Existing Notes, or a beneficial owner’s commercial bank, broker, dealer, trust company or other nominee, to the Exchange Agent at the address listed on the back cover of this offering memorandum. Questions concerning tender procedures and requests for additional copies of this offering memorandum or the letter of transmittal should be directed to the Information Agent at the address and telephone numbers listed on the back cover of this offering memorandum. The eligibility certification and copies of this offering memorandum and the related letter of transmittal are available at www.dfking.com/[●]. Eligible Holders of Existing Notes may also contact their commercial bank, broker, dealer, trust company or other nominee for assistance concerning the Exchange Offer. We will pay the Exchange Agent and the Information Agent reasonable and customary fees for its services and will reimburse it for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses.

Dealer Manager

In connection with the Exchange Offer, we have retained Evercore Group L.L.C. as the Dealer Manager. We will pay a customary fee to the Dealer Manager for soliciting acceptances of the Exchange Offer. That fee will be payable upon completion of the Exchange Offer.

The obligations of the Dealer Manager to perform its functions are subject to various conditions. We have agreed to indemnify the Dealer Manager against various liabilities, including various liabilities under the federal securities laws. The Dealer Manager may contact Eligible Holders of Existing Notes by mail, telephone, facsimile transmission, personal interviews and otherwise may request broker dealers and the other nominee holders to forward materials relating to the Exchange Offer to beneficial holders. Questions regarding the terms of the Exchange Offer may be directed to each Dealer Manager at its address and telephone number listed on the back cover of this offering memorandum. At any given time, the Dealer Manager may trade the Existing Notes or other of our securities for its own accounts or for the accounts of its customers and, accordingly, may hold a long or short position in the Existing Notes.

The Dealer Manager has, from time to time, provided and/or is currently providing investment banking and financial advisory services to us and our affiliates. The Dealer Manager may in the future provide various investment banking and other services to us, and our affiliates, for which it would receive customary compensation from us.

In the ordinary course of its business, the Dealer Manager or its affiliates may at any time hold long or short positions, and may trade for its own account or the accounts of customers, in debt or equity securities issued by us and our subsidiaries and affiliates, including any of the Existing Notes, the Shares, the New Second Lien Notes or the New Unsecured Notes. To the extent that the Dealer Manager or its affiliates own Existing Notes during the Exchange Offer, they may tender such Existing Notes pursuant to the terms of the Exchange Offer. The Dealer Manager and its affiliates may from time to time in the future engage in transactions with us and our subsidiaries and affiliates and provide services to them in the ordinary course of their respective businesses.

A-22

In connection with the Exchange Offer or otherwise, the Dealer Manager may purchase and sell Existing Notes, the Shares, the New Second Lien Notes or the New Unsecured Notes in the open market. These transactions may include covering transactions and stabilizing transactions. Any of these transactions may have the effect of preventing or retarding a decline in the market prices of the Existing Notes, the Shares, the New Second Lien Notes and/or the New Unsecured Notes. They may also cause the prices of the Existing Notes, the Shares, the New Second Lien Notes and/or the New Unsecured Notes to be higher than the prices that otherwise would exist in the open market in the absence of these transactions. The Dealer Manager may conduct these transactions in the over-the-counter market or otherwise. If the Dealer Manager commences any of these transactions, it may discontinue them at any time.

Other Fees and Expenses

We will bear the expenses of soliciting tenders of the Existing Notes. Solicitations of Eligible Holders may be made by mail, e-mail, facsimile transmission, telephone or in person by the Dealer Manager, Information Agent, Exchange Agent as well as by our officers and other employees and those of our affiliates. No additional compensation will be paid to any officers or employees who engage in soliciting exchanges.

Tendering Eligible Holders of Existing Notes accepted in the Exchange Offer will not be obligated to pay brokerage commissions or fees to us, the Dealer Manager, the Exchange Agent or the Information Agent or, except as set forth below, to pay transfer taxes with respect to the exchange of their Existing Notes. If, however, a tendering Eligible Holder handles the transaction through its broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other institution that Eligible Holder may be required to pay brokerage fees or commissions.

Transfer Taxes

You will not be obligated to pay any transfer taxes in connection with the tender of Existing Notes in the Exchange Offer unless you instruct us to cause the issuance of Shares, New Second Lien Notes or the New Unsecured Notes, or request that Existing Notes not tendered or accepted in the Exchange Offer be returned, to a person other than the tendering Eligible Holder. In those cases, you will be responsible for the payment of any applicable transfer taxes.

NONE OF W&T, THE DEALER MANAGER, THE TRUSTEE WITH RESPECT TO THE EXISTING NOTES, THE NEW SECOND LIEN NOTES AND THE NEW UNSECURED NOTES, THE EXCHANGE AGENT, THE INFORMATION AGENT, AND ANY AFFILIATE OF ANY OF THEM, MAKES ANY RECOMMENDATION AS TO WHETHER ELIGIBLE HOLDERS OF THE EXISTING NOTES SHOULD EXCHANGE THEIR EXISTING NOTES FOR SHARES, NEW SECOND LIEN NOTES AND NEW UNSECURED NOTES IN RESPONSE TO THE EXCHANGE OFFER.

Exhibit G

REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT TERM SHEET

This Registration Rights Agreement Term Sheet summarizes the material terms and conditions of the Registration Rights Agreement (“Agreement”) to be entered into among the Holders and the Company. The Agreement will be entered into on the date of Consummation of the Exchange Offer. All capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the support agreement entered into among W&T Offshore, Inc. and the Holders party thereto (the “Support Agreement”).


Registrable Securities		“Registrable Securities” are (a) shares of common stock of W&T Offshore, Inc. (the “Shares”) to be acquired by the Holders party to the Support Agreement in the Exchange Offer, (b) any additional Shares paid, issued or distributed in respect of any such Shares by way of a stock dividend, stock split or distribution, or in connection with a combination of Shares and (c) any additional Shares acquired by any Holder in open market or other purchases; provided, however, that as to any Registrable Securities, such securities shall cease to constitute Registrable Securities when (i) a registration statement covering such Registrable Security becomes or has been declared effective by the Commission and such Registrable Security has been sold or disposed of pursuant to such effective registration statement; (ii) such Registrable Security has been disposed of pursuant to Rule 144 (or any similar provision then in effect) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”); (iii) such Registrable Security is held by the Company or one of its subsidiaries or Affiliates; (iv) such Registrable Security has been sold or disposed of in a private transaction in which the transferor’s rights under the Agreement are not assigned to the transferee of such securities pursuant to the terms of the Agreement or (v) when such Registrable Security becomes eligible for resale without restriction and without the need for current public information pursuant to any section of Rule 144 (or any similar provision then in effect) under the Securities Act.

Initial Shelf Registration Statement		The Company will file a shelf registration statement on Form S-1 (or Form S-3, if available) (the “Initial Shelf Registration Statement”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on or prior to the 45^thday following the date of the Agreement. The Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Initial Shelf Registration Statement to be declared effective by the Commission, supplemented and amended to the extent necessary to ensure that it is available for the resale of all Registrable Securities by the Holders until all Registrable Securities covered by such Initial Shelf Registration Statement have ceased to be Registrable Securities (the “Effectiveness Period”). If the Initial Shelf Registration Statement shall be unavailable after its initial effective date, for so long as any Registrable Securities remain outstanding, the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to register the Registrable Securities on another registration statement (each such registration statement under the Agreement and the Initial Shelf Registration Statement, a “Registration Statement”), (ii) use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause any such registration statement to be declared effective by the Commission and (iii) use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep such other registration statement continuously effective until all Registrable Securities have been sold.

G-1


		Any Registration Statement, when effective (including the documents incorporated therein by reference) will comply as to form in all material respects with all applicable requirements of the Securities Act and the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading (in the case of any prospectus contained in such Registration Statement or documents incorporated therein by reference, in the light of the circumstances under which a statement is made). As soon as practicable following the date that any Registration Statement becomes effective, but in any event within two (2) Business Days of such date, the Company shall provide the Holders with notice of the effectiveness of such registration statement.

Demand Registration		No Holder shall be entitled to any “demand” rights or similar rights that would require the Company to effect an Underwritten Offering solely on behalf of the Holders.

Underwritten Offering		An Underwritten Offering means an offering (including an offering pursuant to any registration statement under the Agreement) in which Shares are sold to an underwriter on a firm commitment basis for reoffering to the public or an offering that is a “bought deal” with one or more investment banks. In connection with any Underwritten Offering, the Company shall be entitled to select the Managing Underwriter or Underwriters. The Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities in an Underwritten Offering, with the consent of the Company, which consent may not be unreasonably delayed or withheld, will select one or more investment banking firms to be the managing underwriter or underwriters. In connection with any Underwritten Offering, the Company will cause at least one (1) executive officer and its Chief Financial Officer and/or Chief Accounting Officer to attend and participate in “road shows” and other information meetings organized by the underwriters, if any, as reasonably requested; provided, that the Company will have no obligation to participate in more than two (2) “road shows” in any twelve (12)-month period and such participation will not unreasonably interfere with the business operations of the Company.

Grace Periods		After a Registration Statement has been declared effective by the Commission, the Company may, upon written notice to any Holder whose Registrable Securities are included in such registration statement, postpone the filing or effectiveness of, or suspend the use of, a registration statement if, in the Company’s good faith determination, such use would (a) materially interfere with a significant acquisition, reorganization, financing or other similar transaction involving the Company, (b) require premature disclosure of material information that the Company has a bona fide business purpose for preserving as confidential and the Company may delay the disclosure of such material non-public information or (c) render the Company unable to comply with applicable

G-2


		securities laws; provided, however, in no event shall the Holders be suspended from selling Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement for a period that exceeds an aggregate of 60 days in any 365-day period, in each case, exclusive of days covered by any lock-up agreement executed by a Holder in connection with an Underwritten Offering. Upon disclosure of such information or the termination of the condition described above, the Company shall provide prompt notice to the Holders whose Registrable Securities are included in such Registration Statement, and shall promptly terminate any suspension of sales it has put into effect and shall take such other reasonable actions to permit registered sales of Registrable Securities as contemplated by the Agreement.

Lock Up Provisions		Each Holder will agree, if requested by the underwriters of an Underwritten Offering, to enter into a customary lock-up agreement with such underwriter(s) in connection with such Underwritten Offering providing such Holder will not effect any public sale or distribution of Registrable Securities during an otherwise agreed to period beginning on the date of a prospectus or prospectus supplement filed with the Commission with respect to the pricing of such Underwritten Offering, provided that the duration of such restriction shall be no longer than the duration of the shortest restriction generally imposed by such underwriter(s) on the Company or the officers, directors or any other Affiliate of the Company on whom a restriction is imposed and the restrictions of such lock-up agreement shall not apply to any Registrable Securities that are included in such Underwritten Offering by such Holder.

Rule 144A Reporting		The Company agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to make customary efforts, including to make and keep public information regarding the Company available and make such filings of reports and other documents and furnish such reports to Holders, for the purpose of permitting the sale of the Registrable Securities to the public without registration.

Transfer of Registration Rights		Any Holder may freely assign its rights under the Agreement with respect to any Registrable Securities in connection with any transfer of such Registrable Securities, subject to certain customary conditions, provided that (a) the Company is given written notice prior to any said transfer or assignment, stating the name and address of each such transferee or assignee and identifying the securities with respect to which such registration rights are being transferred or assigned, (b) each such transferee or assignee assumes in writing responsibility for its portion of the obligations of such original Holder under the Agreement, (c) the transferor or assignor is not relieved of any obligations or liabilities under the Agreement arising out of events occurring prior to such transfer, and (d) following the completion of such assignment, the assignee will hold at least 1% of the outstanding Shares.

Fees and Expenses		The Company will pay all reasonable expenses incident to the Company’s performance under or compliance with the Agreement to effect the registration of the Registrable Securities, including, in the case of an Underwritten Offering, whether or not any sale is made pursuant to such Underwritten Offering, including all reasonable fees and disbursements of one legal counsel to the Holders retained in connection with any Underwritten Offering by the Holders

G-3


		pursuant to their rights under the Agreement (including the filing or amendment of any registration statement, prospectus or free writing prospectus in connection therewith).

Indemnification		The Agreement will contain customary indemnification provisions for the benefit of the Company and the Holders.

Limitation on Subsequent Registration Rights		Company shall not, without prior written consent of the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities, enter into any agreement with any current or future holder of any securities of the Company that would allow such current or future holder to require the Company to include securities in any registration statement filed by the Company on a basis other than pari passu with, or expressly subordinate to the rights of, the Holders of Registrable Securities under the Agreement.

The total exchange consideration to be received by eligible holders of Existing Notes who validly tender and do not validly withdraw their Existing Notes prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on August 8, 2016 (as it may be extended, the “Early Participation Date”), will include an early tender premium equal to $25 principal amount of New Second Lien Notes per $1,000 principal amount of Existing Notes accepted for exchange.

W&T Offshore, Inc. • Nine Greenway Plaza, Suite 300 • Houston, Texas 77046 • 713-626-8525 • www.wtoffshore.com

For Existing Notes validly tendered after the Early Participation Date and on or before the Expiration Date (as defined below), the eligible holders of Existing Notes accepted for exchange will be eligible to receive the exchange consideration set forth above, which does not include the early tender premium. Eligible holders of Existing Notes accepted for exchange will also receive a cash payment equal to the accrued and unpaid interest in respect of such Existing Notes from June 15, 2016 (the most recent interest payment date) to, but not including, the date the exchange offer is settled (the “Settlement Date”). Interest on the New Notes will accrue from the Settlement Date.

The exchange offer and consent solicitation will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on August 29, 2016, unless extended or earlier terminated by the Company (the “Expiration Date”). Tenders of Existing Notes and related consents in the exchange offer may be validly withdrawn at any time on or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on August 8, 2016 (the “Withdrawal Deadline”), but will thereafter be irrevocable, even if the Company otherwise extends the Early Participation Date or extends the exchange offer beyond the Expiration Date, except in certain limited circumstances where additional withdrawal rights are required by law. Tenders submitted in the exchange offer after the Withdrawal Deadline will be irrevocable, except in the limited circumstances where additional withdrawal rights are required by law. The act of tendering Existing Notes pursuant to the exchange offer will constitute a consent to the proposed amendment to the indenture governing the Existing Notes.

The exchange offer is conditioned on the satisfaction or waiver of certain additional conditions, as described in the Offering Documents, including, among other things, (i) the relevant shareholder approvals described in the Offering Documents related to the increase in the number of authorized shares of the Company’s common stock and the issuance of the Shares and (ii) a minimum of 95%, or $855.0 million, of Existing Notes being tendered as of the Expiration Date. To the extent less than 90% in principal amount of the outstanding Existing Notes are validly tendered and accepted for exchange, the New Unsecured Notes will be secured by third-priority liens on substantially all of the Company’s and its subsidiary guarantors’ assets that secure the Company’s revolving bank credit facility. The exchange offer and consent solicitation for the Existing Notes may be amended, extended or terminated.

The exchange offer and consent solicitation is only being made, and copies of the Offering Documents will only be made available, to holders of the Existing Notes who complete and submit an eligibility form confirming that they are (1) “qualified institutional buyers” within the meaning of Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) or (2) not “U.S. persons” and are outside of the United States within the meaning of Regulation S under the Securities Act (such persons, “eligible holders”). Holders who desire to obtain and complete an eligibility form should contact the information agent, D.F. King & Co., Inc., at (877) 536-1561 (toll-free) or (212) 269-5550 (for banks and brokers), or via the following website: www.dfking.com/wti.

Eligible holders are urged to carefully read the Offering Documents before making any decision with respect to the exchange offer and consent solicitation. None of the Company, the sole dealer manager, the information agent or the exchange agent makes any recommendation as to whether eligible holders should tender or refrain from tendering their Existing Notes. Eligible holders must make their own decision as to whether to tender Existing Notes and, if so, the principal amount of Existing Notes to tender.

The New Securities offered by the Company have not been registered under the Securities Act, or any state securities laws and, unless so registered, may not be offered or sold in the United States except pursuant to an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. The exchange offer and consent solicitation is not being made to holders of Existing Notes in any jurisdiction in which the making or acceptance thereof would not be in compliance with the securities, blue sky or other laws of such jurisdiction. This press release is for informational purposes only and is not an offer to purchase, a solicitation of an offer to purchase or a solicitation of consents with respect to, any securities.

Evercore Group L.L.C. is acting as the sole dealer manager in the Exchange Offer.
