EXPLANATORY NOTE FOR AMENDMENT NO. 2

Ultra Petroleum Corp. (the “Company”) is filing this Amendment No. 2 on Form 10-K/A (this “Amendment”) to its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 15, 2020 (the “Original Filing”) and amended by Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A filed with the SEC on June 4, 2020 (the “Amended Filing”).

The Registrant is filing this Amendment to include those disclosures required by the SEC’s March 4, 2020 Order (Release No. 34-88318), as modified on March 25, 2020 (Release No. 34-88465) (the “SEC Order”).

As previously reported on Form 8-K filed on April 28, 2020, the Company was unable to file its information required by Part III of Form 10-K (the “10-K Part III Information”) that was to be filed with the SEC as an amendment to the Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 by the original deadline of April 29, 2020, due to circumstances related to the COVID-19 pandemic. Specifically, the Company’s operations and business have experienced disruptions due to the unprecedented conditions surrounding COVID-19 in the United States, resulting in the Company having to modify its business practices. Since early March, the Company has been following the recommendations of state and local health authorities to minimize the exposure risk for its employees, including restricting access to its physical offices. The Company’s management had to devote significant time and attention to assessing the potential impact of COVID-19 and related events on its operations and financial position and developing operational and financial plans to address those matters, which diverted management resources from completing tasks necessary to file the Amended Annual Report with the 10-K Part III Information by the original due date of the 10-K Part III Information.

The Company experienced delays in the preparation of the 10-K Part III Information for the reasons described above and availed itself of the extension to file the 10-K Part III Information on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2019 originally due April 29, 2020, relying on the SEC Order.

In addition, as required by Rule 12b-15 under the Exchange Act, the Company is including in this Amendment certifications from its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer as required by Rule 13a-14(a) or Rule 15d-14(a) of the Exchange Act as exhibits to this Amendment. Because no financial statements have been included in this Amendment and this Amendment does not contain or amend any disclosure with respect to Items 307 and 308 of Regulation S-K, paragraphs 3, 4 and 5 of the certifications have been omitted. The Company is not including the certifications under Section 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 as no financial statements are being filed with this Amendment.

Except as described above, this Amendment does not modify or update disclosures in, or exhibits to, the Original Filing or the Amended Filing. Furthermore, this Amendment does not change any previously reported financial results, nor does it reflect events occurring after the filing of the Original Filing or the Amended Filing. Accordingly, this Amendment should be read in conjunction with the Original Filing, the Amended Filing and the Company’s filings with the SEC subsequent to the Original Filing.
