(e) On June 5, 2009, at the 2009 Annual Meeting of Stockholders of SandRidge Energy, Inc. (the “Company”), the stockholders of the Company approved the SandRidge Energy, Inc. 2009 Incentive Plan (the “2009 Incentive Plan”), which had previously been approved by the Company’s Board of Directors on April 9, 2009, subject to stockholder approval.

The 2009 Incentive Plan is intended to permit the grant of stock options, stock appreciation rights, shares of restricted stock, restricted stock units, and any other form of award based on the value (or the increase in value) of shares of the common stock of the Company. The 2009 Incentive Plan also permits cash incentive awards. Any current employee, officer, director, consultant, or advisor of the Company or any of the Company’s present or future parent or subsidiary entities or any other business venture in which the Company has a controlling interest is eligible to be granted an award.

Subject to adjustments allowed under the 2009 Incentive Plan, awards may be made under the plan for up to 12,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company. If any award expires or is terminated, surrendered or canceled without having been fully exercised, is forfeited in whole or in part, or results in any shares not being issued, the unused shares covered by such award shall again be available for grants under the plan. Further, shares tendered to the Company by a participant to exercise an award shall be added to the number of shares available for grants under the plan.

The description above is a summary only and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the 2009 Incentive Plan, filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference in response to this item.
