TO BE HELD ON MAY 6, 2020
To the Shareholders of W&T Offshore, Inc.:
Taking into consideration the emerging public health impact of the coronavirus outbreak (COVID-19) and the increasingly severe protocols that federal, state and local governments have imposed, and to support the health and wellbeing of the employees, directors, partners and shareholders of W&T Offshore, Inc. (the “Company,” “we,” or “us”), the Board of Directors of the Company has authorized a change to the location of the Company’s 2020 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the “Annual Meeting”) from an in-person meeting to a virtual-only meeting format. The Annual Meeting will only be accessible online; there will be no physical meeting. The meeting remains scheduled for May 6, 2020 at 8:00 a.m. CDT. This change of location does not impact the ability of the Company’s shareholders to vote in advance of the Annual Meeting by one of the methods described in the Proxy Statement.
We will provide shareholders with an opportunity to hear all portions of the official meeting as conducted by the Chairman of the Board and the Corporate Secretary, submit written questions during the Annual Meeting, and vote during the open poll portion of the meeting. Company management will not be making a presentation at the Annual Meeting.
Only shareholders of record and beneficial holders of Company common stock at the close of business on March 19, 2020 who follow the instructions set forth below will be entitled to virtually attend the Annual Meeting, submit questions and vote during the Annual Meeting. To attend the Annual Meeting, you must register by visiting http://public.viavid.com/index.php?id=139471 and follow the instructions included therein by 11:59 pm Eastern Time on Monday, May 4, 2020.

You may vote during the Annual Meeting during the open poll portion of the meeting by following the instructions provided during the meeting.
Beneficial Holder. If you are a beneficial holder, meaning you hold your shares of Company common stock through a broker, bank or other nominee, you must (i) contact the broker, bank or other nominee that holds your shares to request a legal proxy giving you the right to vote your shares, (ii) email a copy of such legal proxy to investorrelations@wtoffshore.com prior to the Annual Meeting and (iii) register for the Annual Meeting by visiting the meeting website. You may only vote during the Annual Meeting by emailing a copy of your legal proxy to investorrelations@wtoffshore.com in advance of the Annual Meeting.
Whether or not you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, we urge you to vote and submit your proxy in advance of the meeting by one of the methods described in the proxy materials for the Annual Meeting. The proxy card included with the proxy materials previously distributed will not be updated to reflect the change in location and format and may continue to be used to vote your shares in connection with the Annual Meeting.
