— Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year |
On March 7, 2008, the Board of Directors of SandRidge Energy, Inc. (the “Company”) approved
amendments to Sections 2 and 5 of Article VII of the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws
(“Bylaws”), effective immediately, to clarify that the Company’s capital stock may be represented
by uncertificated, as well as certificated, shares. The amendments specifically provide for the
transfer of uncertificated shares and the registration of uncertificated shares in place of a
certificate alleged to have been lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated. The Company adopted the
amendments in connection with new rules of the New York Stock Exchange that require listed
companies to be eligible for the Direct Registration System (“DRS”) no later than March 31, 2008.
The DRS allows a stockholder’s ownership to be recorded and kept on the books of an issuer or its
transfer agent without issuance of a physical stock certificate.
The foregoing description of the amendments to the Company’s Bylaws is qualified in its entirety by
reference to the full text of the amended Bylaws, a copy of which is
filed as Exhibit 3.3 hereto
and incorporated herein by reference.
