The Old Notes were issued in private placements exempt from the registration provisions of the Securities Act pursuant to Rule 144A and Regulation S under the Securities Act. Terms of the New Notes will be identical in all respects to the corresponding series of Old Notes, except that the transfer restrictions applicable to the Old Notes will not apply to the New Notes and, except in limited circumstances, the New Notes will not have rights to additional interest or registration rights. The Old Notes are subject, and any untendered Old Notes will remain subject, to transfer restrictions that, in general, prohibit holders from offering or selling the Old Notes unless the offer and sale are registered under the Securities Act or are exempt from registration under the Securities Act. Each exchange offer will expire at 5:00 p.m., Eastern time, on November 8, 2012, unless extended by SandRidge. Tenders of Old Notes must be made before the applicable exchange offer expires and may be withdrawn at any time before expiration of the applicable exchange offer.
