YOU ARE HEREBY NOTIFIED, pursuant to Rule 23.1 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and an Order of the United States District Court for the Western District of Oklahoma (the “Court”), of (i) the pendency of the above-captioned shareholder derivative litigation (the “Litigation” or “Action”), which was brought by certain SandRidge shareholders on behalf of and for the benefit of SandRidge; and (ii) a proposed settlement of the Litigation (the “Settlement”), subject to Court approval for consideration as provided in a Stipulation of Settlement (the “Stipulation”) that is filed with the Court and available for review as indicated below, and a payment of $500,000 in cash (the “Settlement Payment”) by defendants WCT Resources L.L.C. (“WCT”), 192 Investments, L.L.C. (“192”), and TLW Land & Cattle, L.P. (“TLW”) (collectively, the “Settling Defendants”) to SandRidge.

A hearing will be held on June 15, 2016, at 10:00 a.m., before the Honorable Lee R. West, at the United States District Court for the Western District of Oklahoma, 200 N.W. 4th Street, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma 73102 (the “Settlement Hearing”) to determine (i) whether the proposed Settlement should be approved; (ii) whether the Released Claims against the Settling Defendants should be dismissed with prejudice as set forth in the Stipulation; (iii) whether Co-Lead Counsels’ request for reimbursement of litigation expenses should be approved by the Court; and (iv) whether certain Plaintiffs’ request for incentive awards should be approved by the Court.
