<P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px" ALIGN="center"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B>Respond to Related Party Allegations </B></FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT
STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">OKLAHOMA CITY, Jan. 25, 2013 /PRNewswire/ &#151;&nbsp;SandRidge Energy, Inc. (NYSE: SD) today released the following statement on behalf of its Board of Directors. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">TPG-Axon Group has made allegations in public statements concerning certain activities of our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Tom
Ward, and questioning the Board&#146;s oversight of those activities.&nbsp;Specifically, TPG-Axon claims that Mr.&nbsp;Ward and WCT Resources, LLC, an independent oil and gas company, have engaged in &#147;front running&#148; and
&#147;flipping&#148; leasehold interests to the Company. TPG-Axon also notes that WCT Resources actively competes with the Company in its Mississippian Lime play.&nbsp;Mount Kellett Capital Management LP has also voiced its concern regarding the
allegations made by TPG-Axon. The Board has reviewed issues related to these allegations several times over the Company&#146;s history and has found no wrongdoing to have taken place. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">WCT Resources was formed in 2002 by irrevocable trusts established in 1989 for the benefit of Mr.&nbsp;Ward&#146;s children, all of whom
are adults. The management of WCT Resources is vested entirely in managers, including Mr.&nbsp;Ward&#146;s son, who are independent from the Company and have no access to non-public information concerning the Company&#146;s land and mineral
acquisition programs. Mr.&nbsp;Ward has no control over the trusts or WCT Resources and does not participate in its management, operations or business. Thus, contrary to TPG-Axon&#146;s assertions, neither the Company nor Mr.&nbsp;Ward has the power
to &#147;allow&#148; WCT Resources to engage in any business regardless of whether it competes with the Company. As an ongoing business not controlled by the Company or Mr.&nbsp;Ward, WCT Resources is free to engage in whatever commerce it deems
suitable wherever it chooses. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Transactions between WCT Resources and the Company have occurred rarely, involve less than
one-quarter of one percent of the acreage leased by the Company in the Mississippian play and have been reviewed and approved in advance by disinterested Board members. The Company maintains and enforces a written policy that requires material
related party transactions to be reviewed and approved by disinterested members of the Board.&nbsp;In connection with enforcing that policy, and meeting certain disclosure requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission, disinterested members
of the Board have thoroughly reviewed and approved transactions&nbsp;between the Company and WCT Resources and other related party transactions disclosed in the Company&#146;s public filings. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">TPG-Axon goes to great lengths to establish that WCT Resources owns leasehold acreage adjacent to acreage held by the Company. Given the
Company&#146;s vast acreage holdings in the Mississippian play, which include interests in over 7,500 sections covering nearly five million acres in 30 counties throughout an area that encompasses approximately 17&nbsp;million acres, this is an
entirely unremarkable fact. Virtually all companies active in the play are likely to have some interests that could be characterized as adjacent to the Company&#146;s holdings. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:4%"><FONT
STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">TLW Land&nbsp;&amp; Cattle LP, an entity in which Mr.&nbsp;Ward has an ownership interest, has owned significant ranch land and other surface acreage in Oklahoma and Kansas, and associated mineral rights,
for many years. All of the mineral interests owned by such entity were acquired as part of the purchase of ranch land or other surface acreage. The acquisition of this property took place over a long period beginning well before the formation of
SandRidge. Substantially all of this property was acquired prior to 2009, over a year before SandRidge had active operations in the areas at issue and before the emergence of the Mississippian play as a viable onshore resource play. Mr.&nbsp;Ward
disclosed these longtime business interests to the Board early in the Company&#146;s history and has discussed them with the Board several times over the past several years, and the Board has found no evidence of impropriety or &#147;front
running.&#148; </FONT></P>

TPG-Axon&#146;s, the Company&#146;s directors continue to value the input of its stockholders. As part of its continuing oversight duties, the independent members of the Board will consider the requests of TPG-Axon and Mount Kellett for the
appointment of independent counsel and other investigative measures concerning the activities surrounding their allegations. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B><U>About
