As part of a settlement agreement, the remaining nominees for election to the Board withdrew their nominations following the closing of the polls.  In addition, the six newly-elected Directors have agreed to expand the Board by one seat to eight, and agreed to appoint Jonathan Frates and David Kornder to the remaining seats.  As a result, the newly constituted SandRidge Board will consist of three incumbent Directors and five Icahn nominees: Robert Alexander, Sylvia K. Barnes, Jonathan Christodoro, Jonathan Frates, William M. Griffin, David Kornder, John J. "Jack" Lipinski, and Randolph C. Read.

SandRidge issued the following statement:

"We are pleased to have reached this agreement with Icahn and welcome our new directors to the Board.  We look forward to working together in a constructive manner as we execute our plan and continue our strategic review process to maximize value for all SandRidge shareholders.  The last several months have presented numerous challenges for our employees and we want to thank our team for their ongoing commitment and dedication.  We would also like to thank our departing directors for their service and contributions to the Company."

SandRidge also noted that the preliminary voting results indicate that shareholders voted against the continuation of the Short-Term Rights Plan and the non-binding proposal related to compensation of the Company's named executive officers.  Shareholders voted to appoint PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP ("PwC") as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2018.

The voting outcomes are considered preliminary until the final results are tabulated and certified by the independent inspector of elections. The final results will be reported on a Form 8-K that will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in due course and available at the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.
