SandRidge Energy, Inc. (the “Company”) has determined to cancel the Special Meeting of Stockholders previously scheduled on November 6, 2015 (the “Special Meeting”) and to delay the consideration of the matters proposed until the Company’s 2016 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. The Company scheduled the Special Meeting to consider a proposal to amend the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation to effect a reverse stock split for the purpose of increasing the price of the Company’s common stock in order to regain compliance with the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) continued listing requirements. To regain compliance with the listing requirement, the Company’s common stock must have a closing price of at least $1.00 and an average closing price of at least $1.00 over the 30 trading-day period ending on the last trading day of that month. While the Company intends to regain compliance with the listing requirement, the Board has now determined that it is in the best interests of stockholders to cancel the Special Meeting. To the extent necessary, the Company will seek stockholder approval at its 2016 Annual Meeting of Stockholders with respect to actions it may pursue to regain compliance with the NYSE listing requirement.
As previously reported, on July 23, 2015, the Company received a notice from the NYSE that it was in noncompliance with the listing requirement, and that it has until January 25, 2016 to regain compliance, subject to compliance with other continued listing requirements, after which the NYSE will commence suspension of trading and delisting procedures. According to the NYSE’s rules, if the Company determines that it will cure the stock price deficiency by taking an action, such as implementing a reverse stock split, that will require approval by its stockholders, the deadline will extend to promptly after its 2016 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.
