<P STYLE="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0">NEW YORK (November 20, 2017) &ndash; Fir Tree Partners (&ldquo;Fir
Tree&rdquo;), manager of certain funds that together beneficially own, through common stock and warrants, approximately 8.2% of
the common stock of SandRidge Energy (&ldquo;SandRidge&rdquo;), announced today it strongly opposes the proposed acquisition of
Bonanza Creek Energy (&ldquo;Bonanza&rdquo;). To support its decision, the firm issued the following statement:</P>

<P STYLE="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0">&ldquo;Put simply, the proposed acquisition of Bonanza makes no
economic or strategic sense for the following reasons:</P>

E&amp;P companies operating in the United States. The stock is down ~30% YTD and now trades at ~3x 2018 EV/ EBITDA, 0.6x PDP PV-10,
$13,000 per flowing barrel and has net cash. The proposed dilutive acquisition will drain SandRidge of its entire cash balance,
force a significant draw on its RBL facility and use the issuance of undervalued SandRidge equity to fund the nearly $750 million
acquisition. This purchase price implies 5.5x 2018 EV/EBITDA and $47,000 per flowing barrel for Bonanza, which is an unjustified
premium to SandRidge&rsquo;s current valuation. The acquisition also represents more than a <B><I>75% premium</I></B> to the $421
million valuation established when Bonanza creditors invested new capital just six months ago. </FONT></TD></TR></TABLE>

guidance to shareholders was to protect the balance sheet, reduce operating costs, generate free cash flow and organically develop
its significant remaining inventory in the Northwest Stack and North Park Basin. The proposed acquisition would put SandRidge in
a fifth and sixth basin with no obvious synergies between any of its assets. We believe Bonanza&rsquo;s DJ Basin assets are Tier
II in quality, more than 100 miles from North Park (with different geology), provide no obvious economies of scale benefits and
would compete for capital expenditures and the focus of management. The fact that no in-basin competitor emerged to purchase Bonanza
speaks volumes about the questionable quality and prospects of the assets.</FONT></TD></TR></TABLE>

to exploit, we believe SandRidge is positioned to both return capital to its shareholders and grow production in a disciplined
manner. The proposed acquisition represents a complete reversal of management&rsquo;s post-bankruptcy strategy and reminds us of
SandRidge's prior history when this same management team acquired disparate assets and added leverage with reckless abandon.&rdquo;
