TPG-Axon Reminds SandRidge Energy Stockholders to Submit Green Consent Cards before March 15th Deadline

- Urges Stockholders to Vote in Favor of Proposals to End Value
Destruction -
- Encourages Stockholders to Join Spectrum of Large and Small Investors
in Movement for Change -
- Separately Submits Proposals for Stockholder Vote at SandRidge′s
Upcoming Annual Meeting -
TPG-Axon, beneficial owner of seven percent of the outstanding shares of
SandRidge Energy, Inc. (NYSE: SD) ('SandRidge? or the 'Company?), today
reminded all SandRidge stockholders to be heard and submit their signed
and dated GREEN consent cards before
the March 15, 2013 deadline for submitting consents, to help bring about
the changes needed to put an end to an era of value destruction at the
Company.
TPG-Axon encourages stockholders to vote their consent card immediately
in support of its proposals to amend SandRidge′s bylaws and replace the
Company′s entire Board of Directors with its slate of highly qualified
director nominees who have a comprehensive plan in place to restore and
build value at the Company.
'Mr. Ward and the current Board have failed to address the ongoing
strategic and operational deficiencies at the Company or the serious
governance and related party transaction issues we have raised. We
believe stockholders share our frustration and outrage with this
behavior and encourage them to heed the advice of the two leading
independent proxy advisor firms and support our proposals to replace the
current Directors with our highly qualified nominees,? said TPG-Axon.
TPG-Axon continued: 'Stockholders of record join the movement of fellow
large and small stockholders alike and act now
to replace the entire Board of Directors by voting the GREEN
consent card.?
Separately, TPG-Axon submitted proposals for stockholder approval at the
Company′s upcoming Annual Meeting, including nominating three Board
candidates to replace the incumbents up for reelection, eliminating the
classified Board structure, and removing all incumbent directors.
The notification, which is unrelated to the ongoing consent
solicitation, was made in order to meet the Company′s proposal
submission deadline under its existing corporate bylaws. Under the
current consent solicitation, consents are due by March 15, 2013. Under
the rules of SandRidge′s regular proxy process, Director Nominee
submissions are due by March 1, 2013, before the outcome of the March 15th
vote is known.
'As matter of prudence and procedure to preserve all of our options, we
felt it important to submit proposals for the stockholder Annual Meeting
as required under the Company′s by-laws. Let our notification today be a
clear message to the Board and our fellow shareholders that we remain
vigilant in our efforts to right this ship and we will pursue every
avenue available to effect the necessary changes needed at SandRidge.
The time has come for an independent Board that is focused on delivering
value to all stockholders,? concluded TPG-Axon.
