Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.
On September 8, 2025, SandRidge Energy, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release (the “Press Release”) announcing the opening of enrollment for shareholders interested in participating in its previously announced Dividend Reinvestment Plan (the “DRIP”), a copy of which is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1 and which is incorporated into this Item 7.01 by reference.
The information set forth in this Item 7.01 is not an offer to sell, or a solicitation of an offer to buy, any securities, or a solicitation with respect to any securities.
The information contained in this Item 7.01 shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) or incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
Item 8.01. Other Events
As previously announced, the Company has authorized a DRIP to provide shareholders with a convenient and economical method of investing cash dividends in additional shares of the Company’s common stock. The DRIP is administered by Equiniti Trust Company, LLC (the “Plan Administrator”).
All registered holders of the Company’s common stock are eligible to participate in the DRIP, and participation is entirely voluntary. Shareholders may enroll in the DRIP at any time by completing an enrollment form online or by contacting the Plan Administrator at 800-278-4353 or equiniti.com/us/ast-access/individuals. Shareholders who do not enroll will continue to receive cash dividends, if and when declared by the Company. Under the DRIP, cash dividends declared on all shares of common stock beneficially owned by a participating shareholder will be automatically reinvested in additional shares of common stock. Participants are required to enroll all shares they own, as partial participation is not permitted under the DRIP.
The Plan Administrator may acquire shares for the DRIP either directly from the Company, including from authorized but unissued or treasury shares, in the open market, or through privately negotiated transactions, or any combination thereof, at the Company’s discretion. Unless otherwise directed by the Company, shares will be purchased directly from the Company. If shares are purchased from the Company, the purchase price will be the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) on the dividend payment date. If shares are purchased in the open market, the price will be the volume weighted average price paid for all shares purchased for the DRIP on the relevant purchase date, excluding fees and commissions.
Participation in the DRIP may be terminated at any time by notifying the Plan Administrator. Upon termination, whole shares will be issued in book-entry form, and any remaining fractional share will be paid in cash. The Company reserves the right to prohibit or terminate participation by any shareholder whose participation would result in beneficial ownership exceeding 4.9% of the Company’s outstanding common stock, in accordance with the Company’s Tax Benefits Preservation Plan and Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code.
The foregoing summary of the DRIP and the enrollment procedures for shareholders are qualified in their entirety by reference to the prospectus included in the registration statement Form S-3D, which was filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 5, 2025 (the “Registration Statement”). Shareholders interested in participating in the DRIP are encouraged to review the Registration Statement carefully and the description of the DRIP included therein.
