<P STYLE="font: 11pt Calibri, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0"><B>NEW YORK, January 28, 2013</B> &#8211; TPG-Axon, beneficial
owner of 6.7% of the outstanding shares of SandRidge Energy, Inc. (NYSE: SD) (the &#8220;Company&#8221;), today issued the following
statement and rebuttal to SandRidge&#8217;s press release regarding related party transactions issued Friday, January25, 2013.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 11pt Calibri, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 11pt Calibri, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0">&#8220;The Board&#8217;s disappointing response on Friday shows
disregard for both facts and stockholders. Nowhere in its press release did the Company refute the accuracy of the facts we presented.
Therefore, there can be no doubt that SandRidge&#8217;s Board of Directors has failed stockholders by allowing its CEO's immediate
family, using entities he created or funded, to compete with the Company in one of the most crucial aspects of its primary business
&#8211; acquiring the mineral rights to land in the Mississippian. Furthermore, since many of the directors have either long-standing
business relationships with Mr. Ward or have had direct business relations with the Company, we disagree with the very characterization
of this Board as independent. For the Board to dismiss our concerns as &#8216;entirely unremarkable&#8217; is in fact remarkable,&#8221;
said TPG-Axon.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 11pt Calibri, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 11pt Calibri, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0">TPG-Axon notes the following in response to the primary points
made in the statement from the Sandridge&#8217;s Board of Directors:</P>

<P STYLE="font: 11pt Calibri, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0">The detailed examples that TPG-Axon provided of advance or adjacent
acquisitions by WCT Resources are illustrative and are just <U>examples</U> of the significant overlap in both location and timing
between the activity of WCT Resources and SandRidge in the Mississippian.&nbsp; From the data TPG-Axon has reviewed so</P>

<P STYLE="font: 11pt Calibri, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 11pt Calibri, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0">far, this pattern of activity is not rare;&nbsp;it is frequent,
- particularly in more recent expansions in the Mississippian.&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 11pt Calibri, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 11pt Calibri, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0">The Board claims that &#8220;virtually all companies active in
the play are likely to have some interests that could be characterized as adjacent to the Company&#8217;s holdings&#8221;. Yet,
it is simply not true that all companies have frequent correlation of activity, in both time and place.&nbsp; Even the Company,
in the Consent Revocation Statement it recently filed, proudly trumpets that SandRidge created value by &#8220;quietly and inexpensively&#8221;
acquiring rights <U>ahead</U> of other companies. Therefore, for WCT Resources to appear <U>frequently</U> alongside or in advance
of SandRidge is notable, and not &#8220;entirely unremarkable.&#8221;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 11pt Calibri, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 11pt Calibri, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0">&#8220;We challenge the Board to show that the pattern of overlap
between WCT Resources and SandRidge is modest compared to that of others. It is simply astonishing that family-controlled entities
are active in the same business that SandRidge is active in.&nbsp; It is even more astonishing that these entities have frequently,
as opposed to rarely, appeared ahead of, or alongside, SandRidge in areas of interest,&#8221; said TPG-Axon.&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 11pt Calibri, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 11pt Calibri, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0"><B><U>Inter-Company Transactions:</U></B></P>

<P STYLE="font: 11pt Calibri, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0">The direct transactions between WCT Resources and SandRidge are
a small fraction of the overall pattern of overlap between WCT Resources and SandRidge, simply because much of the property or
rights acquired&nbsp;by WCT Resources appear to have been kept, or sold to third parties.&nbsp; If WCT Resources buys land or rights
in advance of the Company, there is potential for harm to SandRidge stockholders, whether that land is kept or sold, and regardless
of whom it is sold to.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 11pt Calibri, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 11pt Calibri, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0">The vast majority of transactions in which WCT Resources acts in
advance, or alongside, of SandRidge have never been disclosed by the Company. For only the small percentage of actual direct transactions
in which land or rights were flipped to SandRidge, the Company has had very limited disclosure &#8211; this is the &#8220;one quarter
of one percent&#8221; the Company refers to. Yet, even for these transactions, we do not believe the disclosure has been sufficient.
As an example, to provide limited disclosure regarding transactions with WCT Resources, and yet not disclose that those very assets
had been held by TLW Land &amp; Cattle just months before being sold to SandRidge, is a significant omission.&nbsp; TPG-Axon has
the following questions for the Board:</P>

being bought by the Company were indirectly owned by the CEO, by virtue of his ownership of TLW, just months prior to such acquisitions?</TD></TR></TABLE>

<P STYLE="font: 11pt Calibri, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0">&nbsp;&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 12pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0">Overall, the conflicts of interest, and potential for harm to the
Company and unfair gain for others, are significant in all of these transactions.&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 12pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 12pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0">When SandRidge signs a joint venture agreement, as it has with companies
like Repsol and Atinum, there is benefit for SandRidge stockholders.&nbsp; The Company and its stockholders bear the initial expense
and overhead of identifying opportunities.&nbsp;However, the partners then pay a premium to the Company for a share of the land,
and share in the expense of developing the land.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 12pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 12pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0">On the other hand, if in fact, family-controlled entities have gained
information and advantage through the relationship with Mr. Ward and SandRidge, then by contrast, the situation with WCT Resources
and other Ward family entities is remarkably advantageous for them.&nbsp; In such circumstances, SandRidge would bear the expense
of huge overhead, which presumably would help in identifying attractive opportunities while WCT Resources would appear to reach
that same result with little overhead spending or resources.&nbsp; SandRidge would also, in such circumstances, bear the cost of
drilling to prove whether the land was valuable or not.&nbsp; If it was valuable, WCT Resources would benefit from having adjacent
land, even without having borne that cost.&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 12pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 12pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0">&#8220;Just like the earlier Executive Well Participation Plan program,
which Mr. Ward benefitted handsomely from, there would be an unfair sharing of risk and reward.&nbsp; However, at least with the
Executive Well Participation Plan, the Company disclosed its existence, albeit to a limited degree.&nbsp; In this case, by adopting
the view that WCT Resources is an &#8216;independently managed company,&#8217; SandRidge has avoided any disclosure of the significant
potential for conflict of interest and unfair gain for the Ward family,&#8221; said TPG-Axon</P>

<P STYLE="font: 12pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 12pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0">The Board's response also ignores a number of the other inconvenient
facts and questions pointed out in TPG-Axon&#8217;s presentation. Most notably, in its response, the Board does not address any
of the other persons or entities related to Mr. Ward that appear frequently alongside SandRidge in the acquisition of land and
mineral rights, including 192 Investments and Sch'ree Ward. Are stockholders to believe that those occurrences are also simply
coincidences?</P>

<P STYLE="font: 12pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 12pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0">The Board also claims that it does not technically have the ability
to stop WCT Resources from engaging in any particular business. While that may be literally true (despite the fact that such activity
was being conducted by a company which shared an address with SandRidge, and whose economic benefit flowed to a trust controlled
by a SandRidge employee for the benefit of the CEO&#8217;s children), it was not beyond the Board's power to require that Mr. Ward
step down as CEO if related entities did not cease their competitive activities, because it is inappropriate for SandRidge's CEO
to be in such a conflicted position.</P>

the appointment of independent counsel &#8211; that should have been done already. The Board should suspend Mr. Ward while they
engage credible experts to analyze the transactions and review the behavior. We challenge the Board to either do something, or
make clear they will not.&nbsp; Stockholders cannot afford more inactivity or delay by their Board,&#8221; concluded TPG-Axon.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 13.5pt/normal Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 10pt"><B>Information on TPG-Axon&#8217;s Consent
Solicitation</B></P>

<P STYLE="font: 12pt/normal Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 10pt">TPG-Axon, one of SandRidge Energy&#8217;s (NYSE: SD)
largest shareholders, has called for sweeping changes at the company, which it believes are necessary to maximize shareholder value.
To facilitate change, TPG-Axon has launched a consent solicitation to amend the by-laws of the company to, among other things,
de-stagger the Board of Directors and permit that directors may be removed with or without cause, remove incumbent directors from
the Board, and replace such incumbent directors with nominees of TPG-Axon. This website provides information on TPG-Axon&#8217;s
proposals and on the process for voting shares in favor of those proposals.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 12pt/normal Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 10pt">Please note, you must be a stockholder of record as
of <FONT STYLE="color: #9C2E33"><B>December 13, 2012</B></FONT> to vote your shares in this consent solicitation. If you are a
stockholder of record, TPG-Axon urges you to <FONT STYLE="color: #9C2E33"><B><U>VOTE THE GREEN CONSENT CARD</U></B></FONT> in favor
of its proposals to help deliver the necessary change to strengthen SandRidge for the future. If you wish to vote the <FONT STYLE="color: #9C2E33"><B><U>GREEN</U></B></FONT>
consent card simply follow the instructions on the <FONT STYLE="color: #9C2E33"><B><U>GREEN</U></B></FONT> consent card that was
