        <footnote id="F1">On the Form 4 filed by the Reporting Person on March 4, 2019, a total of 472 shares of Common Stock were incorrectly reported as having been withheld to satisfy tax withholding obligations in connection with the vesting and settlement of certain performance share units. As a result, the number shown in this column reflects an additional 472 shares of Common Stock that were beneficially owned and sold by the Reporting Person since such shares were not actually withheld to satisfy tax withholding obligations.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F2">Represents weighted average price of open market same day sales.  Sales of shares took place at actual prices ranging from $0.21 to $0.24 per share.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F3">Full information regarding the number of shares sold at each separate price will be provided upon request by the Commission staff, Oasis Petroleum Inc. or an Oasis Petroleum Inc. shareholder.</footnote>
