The Company has sufficient liquidity to make these interest payments, but has elected to use the 30-day grace period in connection with its ongoing discussions with stakeholders. Entry into the grace period does not constitute an event of default under the indenture governing the notes.
Sandridge recently tapped its entire credit limit following a delisting from the NYSE.
