reasonable detail why Forms&nbsp;10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, 10-D, N-SAR, N-CSR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Annual Report on Form 10-K of SandRidge Energy, Inc. (the &#147;Company&#148;) for the year ended December 31, 2015, could not be filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission within the prescribed time period without unreasonable effort or expense, because the Company needs additional time to complete its financial statements and related disclosures. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Company has been engaged in discussions with certain stakeholders regarding strategic alternatives to reduce its indebtedness. On February 16, 2016, the
Company elected to defer interest payments then due with respect to its 7.5% senior notes due 2023 and 7.5% senior convertible notes due 2023 (collectively, the &#147;2023 Notes&#148;). On March&nbsp;15, 2016, within the 30-day interest payment
grace period provided for in the indentures governing the 2023 Notes, the Company made payments of approximately $21.7 million in satisfaction of its obligations under the 2023 Notes. Further, on March 16, 2016, the Company made approximately $28.4
million in interest payments then due with respect to its 7.5% senior notes due 2021. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As a result of the uncertainty regarding potential strategic
alternatives to reduce indebtedness, the Company expects that the report of the independent registered public accounting firm that accompanies the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015 included in the
Company&#146;s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 will contain an explanatory paragraph regarding substantial doubt as to the Company&#146;s ability to continue as a going concern and certain debt obligations may be
reclassified as current liabilities in the financial statements if deemed appropriate. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In consideration of the additional time required by management to
consider the potential consequences of these discussions with stakeholders, and make appropriate revisions to the financial statements and disclosures included in the Company&#146;s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31,
2015, such Form 10-K cannot be filed within the prescribed time period without unreasonable effort and expense. </P> <P STYLE="font-size:12pt;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt">&nbsp;</P>

anticipate that total revenues and income from operations for the year ended December 31, 2015 will be significantly lower than the year ended December 31, 2014, as a result of significantly lower commodity prices, as well as moderate year-over-year
growth in total production of 9 percent. Further as a result of significantly decreased oil prices, the Company incurred a full cost ceiling impairment charge of $4.5 billion for the year ended December 31, 2015. </P>
