<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">OKLAHOMA CITY, April&nbsp;9, 2018 &#151; SandRidge Energy, Inc. (&#147;SandRidge&#148; or the &#147;Company&#148;) (NYSE: SD) today issued the following
statement in response to Icahn Capital&#146;s intention to nominate directors to the SandRidge Board of Directors at the 2018 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The governing documents of SandRidge Energy are structured to give shareholders significant input over matters such as board composition and to implement
desired changes through a vote of all shareholders.&nbsp;For example, shareholders may demand special meetings at any time at the request of only 25% of the outstanding shares.&nbsp;Additionally, every SandRidge director stands for reelection on an
annual basis. Any shareholder has the ability to make proposals or nominate directors for consideration at the Company&#146;s annual meeting by following the procedures outlined in our bylaws. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Consistent with this philosophy, SandRidge welcomes shareholder input and will review all qualified candidates for nomination to the Board of Directors.
SandRidge has specifically offered Icahn Capital, on more than one occasion, the opportunity to submit qualified, <I>independent</I> candidates for the Board&#146;s consideration. None have been put forth. To the extent Icahn Capital nominates any
candidates for election at the Annual Meeting, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will thoroughly review those candidates and make a recommendation to the shareholders. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The SandRidge Board is committed to maximizing long-term shareholder value and to acting in a manner that is in the best interests of all shareholders. Since
our extensive, in person discussions with many large shareholders last December and January, the SandRidge Board has made changes to the Company&#146;s leadership team, modified and clarified our strategic objectives, implemented a focused capital
program with moderate outspend and committed to reducing general and administrative cash expenses by <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">one-third.</FONT> </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In addition, as previously disclosed, SandRidge is undertaking a formal process to evaluate strategic alternatives, which may include divestment or joint
venture opportunities associated with our North Park Basin assets and potential corporate and asset combination options with other companies. SandRidge will also evaluate credible offers to acquire the Company, including offers from Icahn Capital,
and will pursue options that maximize shareholder value. To date, Icahn Capital has rejected SandRidge&#146;s offer to participate in this process on the same fair basis as other interested parties. SandRidge remains committed to conducting a
thorough and impartial strategic review process that is in the best interest of all shareholders. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><U>About SandRidge Energy, Inc. </U></B></P>

strategic alternatives, the pursuit of options that maximize shareholder value and the consideration of candidates for nomination to SandRidge&#146;s Board of Directors. These &#147;forward-looking statements&#148; are based on currently available

uncertainties include, but are not limited to: uncertain outcome, impact, effects and results of SandRidge&#146;s exploration of strategic alternatives; and any changes in general economic or industry specific conditions. SandRidge cautions that the
foregoing list of factors is not exclusive. Additional information concerning these and other risk factors is contained in SandRidge&#146;s public filings with the SEC, which are available at the SEC&#146;s website, http://www.sec.gov. Each
forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date of the particular statement, and SandRidge undertakes no obligation to publicly update any of these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances that may arise after the date
hereof. </P>
