<div style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Palatino Linotype', 'Book Antiqua', Palatino, serif; TEXT-ALIGN: justify; TEXT-INDENT: 36pt">This morning, in a last-ditch effort to save their lucrative director positions, the SandRidge board provided yet another misleading update about the supposed "robust and thorough" strategic review process they're conducting. Before we could even digest all of the board's exaggerated and overstated claims, Midstates released a statement refuting entirely the board's assertions about their involvement.</div>

<div><br>
</div>

<div style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Palatino Linotype', 'Book Antiqua', Palatino, serif; TEXT-ALIGN: justify; TEXT-INDENT: 36pt">Needless to say, we understand Midstates's frustration. It's inherently impossible to negotiate with a counterparty that (1) demands unreasonable and onerous terms that are intended to impede &#8211; rather than facilitate &#8211; a transaction and (2) chilled the bidding by intentionally mischaracterizing interactions with would-be bidders and putting conditions into the process that make it almost impossible for many bidders to come forward. Shareholders should know that then-CEO and board member James Bennett withheld Midstates's initial interest from most of the board (as then-Chairman John Genova acknowledged to us on a conference call with a number of witnesses). We told Genova that, after speaking with several expert attorneys, we believed that Bennett's actions gave SandRidge a basis to fire him for cause. But rather than even give us the courtesy of a call back before acting, this board terminated Bennett <font style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Palatino Linotype', 'Book Antiqua', Palatino, serif; FONT-STYLE: italic">without</font> cause, therefore knowingly allowing him to leave with what appears to be a $17 million severance package (in addition to the more than $50 million of compensation he was paid while overseeing the destruction of billions of dollars of shareholder value). Shortly thereafter, Chairman Genova resigned, the timing of which we find quite suspicious and in need of investigation.</div>

<div style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Palatino Linotype', 'Book Antiqua', Palatino, serif; TEXT-ALIGN: justify; TEXT-INDENT: 36pt"><u>As we have stated countless times over the last few months, we believe the facts show the board's strategic review process is a disingenuous sham &#8211; window dressing designed to convince shareholders that this board actually wants to maximize value when in reality their primary focus is (and always has been) perpetuating themselves in office. Ask yourself &#8211; why is this board, which here-to-fore has done everything they could to rebuff offers, now on the eve of a contested election telling shareholders that they are conducting a "robust and thorough" process? Recall that these are the same people that tried to entrench themselves by spending our money on a dilutive and value-destructive acquisition of Bonanza Creek and adopting an outrageous and atypical poison pill in order to ram the deal through. If the board genuinely wanted to run a process to maximize value, why didn't they do it 9 months ago? Instead, they spent the last 9 months entering into a number of costly and highly-value-destructive transactions, such as entering into "hedges" that have denied SandRidge a great deal of income.</u></div>

<div style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Palatino Linotype', 'Book Antiqua', Palatino, serif; TEXT-ALIGN: justify; TEXT-INDENT: 36pt">Simply put, it seems abundantly clear to us that the current strategic review process at SandRidge is not credible, and the only way to fix that is to replace those responsible for conducting it. Unlike the current board, our slate of directors will conduct the process in a fair and orderly manner with a singular goal in mind &#8211; to procure and present to shareholders the highest bid received. And while we do not presently intend to make a bid ourselves, if we do in fact make a bid it will be conditioned on the approval of a majority of the unaffiliated shareholders (i.e. a majority of the minority). Additionally, if our directors control the board, they will also make the conditions for other bidders to make a bid far less restrictive than those in the current "sham process."</div>
