<P STYLE="font: 12pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0">Tuesday, March 5, 2013</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">As you know, an effort is underway to replace the Board of Directors
of SandRidge, and begin a process of restoring proper corporate governance and reversing six years of value destruction. That process
will culminate in the next few weeks and, if successful, SandRidge will have new leadership &ndash; leadership focused on building
value for everyone, not just a few.</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">We know that the consent solicitation process has created anxiety
and uncertainty among SandRidge employees and the Oklahoma City community. Unfortunately, this is somewhat unavoidable, but it
is also regrettable, and we wish to assure everyone of our intentions and expected actions.</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">Most importantly, the primary problem at SandRidge is with it leaders
&ndash; the members of the Board of Directors and the CEO. We recognize that the vast majority of the 2,500 employees at SandRidge
have worked hard to create value for the company. Your efforts ought to be applauded and supported. From Day 1, a primary focus
will be on ensuring that the many employees working in the operations of the company are assured of their importance, and secure
that they have a stable and promising future with the company. Operating employees of the company should know that their efforts
are highly valued, and that they will ultimately benefit from reducing the instability and waste created by current leadership.</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">Candidly, we will be focusing carefully on overhead operations,
and it is unavoidable that there will need to be change in this regard. Unlike the operations of the company, we do feel that overhead
must be reduced substantially, but we can pledge to do so in a thoughtful, deliberate and sensible manner.</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">There may be understandable concern that SandRidge will &lsquo;abandon&rsquo;
efforts to support the Oklahoma City community. Nothing could be further from the truth. We expect SandRidge will remain headquartered
in Oklahoma City, and continue to support the community as any good company should. To be clear, much of the overhead expense we
object to has nothing to do with community support, but rather are enormous expenses directed toward the vanity, privilege and
compensation of a few. Over 1/3 of all overhead spending is accounted for by compensation to just a few people (the Board of Directors
and three top executives)! Extraordinary levels of compensation for Board members and the CEO are not supporting the community
&ndash; they are enriching those individuals. Millions spent on TV advertising, often with a biographical focus on the CEO, are
not benefitting the community. Millions spent on new private planes, and payments for private jet travel for the CEO to his vacation
homes are not benefitting the community.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 12pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0">The reality of SandRidge, for shareholders and employees, has been
unfortunate &ndash; the value created by the hard work of many committed employees should have accrued to the company, its employees
and its shareholders, and helped create a more sustainable and stable future. Instead, much of that value has been drained &ndash;
to creditors, compensation, and perks &ndash; and the end result has been loss of value and instability. The actions taken by management
over the past six years have left SandRidge in a precarious and unsustainable position &ndash; change is necessary. While some
of that change may result in short-term disruption, the end result ought to be a prosperous &ndash; and sustainable &ndash; company
for years to come.</P>
