<div><br>
</div>

<div style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Palatino Linotype', 'Book Antiqua', Palatino, serif; TEXT-ALIGN: justify; TEXT-INDENT: 36pt">We find it reprehensible that you are poised to potentially walk away from SandRidge with windfall consolation prizes if the stockholders vote you out of office at the annual meeting on June 19<sup style="vertical-align: text-top; line-height: 1; font-size: smaller">th</sup>. According to the company's proxy statement, upon "a failure to receive the required votes "for" in a contested election, all outstanding restricted stock awards held by [the company's] non-employee directors will vest in full." <font style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Palatino Linotype', 'Book Antiqua', Palatino, serif"><u>Why directors should feel they are entitled to a bonus if they are fired by the stockholders for doing a terrible job is beyond our comprehension</u></font>. If you have any justification for receiving such favorable treatment as a direct result of a no-confidence vote by stockholders, we would love to hear it. We believe strongly that you are duty bound to renounce, and hereby request that you waive, your rights to receive accelerated vesting of your equity awards in the event you are voted out of office. <font style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Palatino Linotype', 'Book Antiqua', Palatino, serif; FONT-WEIGHT: bold">If you fail to give up these inappropriate benefits voluntarily, we intend to ask the newly-constituted board to explore all potential claims that SandRidge may have to seek to recover these amounts for the benefit of the company and its stockholders.</font> Further, we believe it is incumbent upon the board to commit publicly that no such inappropriate provisions will be included in director equity awards going forward.</div>

<div><br>
</div>

<div style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Palatino Linotype', 'Book Antiqua', Palatino, serif; TEXT-ALIGN: justify; TEXT-INDENT: 36pt">It also appears that the employment agreement between SandRidge and Interim President and CEO Bill Griffin provides that if our proxy contest to replace the board is successful, Mr. Griffin's right to payments under the company's bonus program will vest immediately and such payments will be made for the duration of the employment term at the <font style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Palatino Linotype', 'Book Antiqua', Palatino, serif"><u>greater of</u></font> the target bonus or the amount calculated by the board's compensation committee. Additionally, according to the company's proxy statement, if our proxy contest to replace the board is successful, certain of the company's "named executive officers are entitled to receive (i) accelerated vesting of all unvested restricted stock, (ii) accelerated vesting of all unvested performance units, with payment based on the unit's target value, and (iii) accelerated vesting of all unvested performance share units at the target award quantity." We believe such windfall acceleration provisions for executives who will remain with SandRidge &#8211; especially when triggered because stockholders have voiced their disapproval of the company's performance by kicking out the board &#8211; are similarly repugnant and must also be waived by all recipients and excluded from future agreements. <font style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Palatino Linotype', 'Book Antiqua', Palatino, serif; FONT-WEIGHT: bold">If such recipients fail to give up these inappropriate benefits voluntarily, we intend to ask the newly-constituted board to explore all potential claims that SandRidge may have to seek to recover these amounts for the benefit of the company and its stockholders.</font></div>

<div><br>
</div>

<div style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Palatino Linotype', 'Book Antiqua', Palatino, serif; TEXT-ALIGN: justify; TEXT-INDENT: 36pt">Finally, it has come to our attention that you may be preparing to authorize imminently a large amount of "one-off" or "off-cycle" equity grants by SandRidge to its executive officers. We caution you against approving any equity grants which contain inappropriate "change in control" provisions or which have the purpose or effect of diluting the interests of the company's stockholders in an inappropriate manner. For obvious reasons, we are hoping this is just another unsubstantiated rumor. You can trust that if we had any actual evidence that you were planning a transgression against generally acknowledged norms of good corporate governance we would be taking swift legal action to protect the interests of all stockholders. We ask that you please confirm for the record that nothing of the sort is being, or will be, considered by the board.</div>
