Tree&#8221;), manager of certain funds that together beneficially own, through common stock and warrants, approximately 8.2% of
the common stock of SandRidge Energy, Inc. (&#8220;SandRidge&#8221;), today issued an open letter to the Board of Directors of
SandRidge reiterating its strong opposition to SandRidge&rsquo;s proposed acquisition of Bonanza Creek Energy, Inc. (&#8220;Bonanza&#8221;)

more shares of common stock in connection with such a transaction. The full text of the letter follows:</P>

is to make decisions that optimize long-term shareholder value. With zero net debt and approximately 200,000 acres and decades
of remaining inventory to exploit, we believe SandRidge would better position itself by returning capital to its shareholders and
growing production in a disciplined manner, not through pursuing this reckless transaction.</P>
