On June 3, 2026, W&T Offshore, Inc. (the “Company”) held the 2026 annual meeting of shareholders (the “Annual Meeting”) virtually. During the Annual Meeting, shareholders voted to approve an amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Company’s 2023 Incentive Compensation Plan (the “Plan”) to increase the number of shares of the Company’s common stock available for issuance under the Plan from 10,000,000 to 22,000,000.

With both shareholder approval of the Amendment and prior approval by the Company’s Board of Directors, the number of shares available for issuance under the Plan, as amended by the Amendment, increased by 12,000,000 shares of common stock.

The foregoing description of the Amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Amendment, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

to the

W&T Offshore, Inc. 2023 Incentive Compensation Plan

This Amendment No. 1 to the W&T Offshore, Inc. 2023 Incentive Compensation Plan (the “Plan”) was approved and recommended to the shareholders by the Board of Directors of W&T Offshore, Inc. (the “Company”) on April 13, 2026, subject to the approval by the shareholders of the Company, which was obtained on June 3, 2026. Accordingly, the Plan is hereby amended, effective as of June 3, 2026, as follows:

Section 4.1 of the Plan is hereby amended and restated in its entirety with the following:

“The aggregate number of Shares that may be issued pursuant to this Plan shall not exceed 22,000,000 Shares (subject to any increase or decrease pursuant to this Article IV), which may be either authorized and unissued Shares or Shares held in or acquired for the treasury of the Company or both. The aggregate number of Shares that may be issued or used with respect to any Incentive Stock Option shall not exceed 22,000,000 Shares (subject to any increase or decrease pursuant to Section 4.1). Any Award under this Plan settled in cash shall not be counted against the foregoing maximum share limitations. Any Shares subject to an Award or a Prior Plan Award that expires or is canceled, forfeited, or terminated without issuance of the full number of Shares to which the Award or the Prior Plan Award related will again be available for issuance under this Plan. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Shares subject to an Award under this Plan or a Prior Plan Award shall not again be made available for issuance or delivery under this Plan if such Shares are (a) Shares delivered, withheld or surrendered in payment of the exercise or purchase price of an Award, (b) Shares delivered, withheld, or surrendered to satisfy any tax withholding obligation with respect to Options or Stock Appreciation Rights, or (c) Shares covered by a stock-settled Stock Appreciation Right or other Awards that were not issued upon the settlement of the Award.”

In all other respects, the Plan remains unchanged and in full force and effect.
