SDT SandRidge Mississippian Trust I

SANDRIDGE MISSISSIPPIAN TRUST I (NYSE: SDT) today announced a quarterly distribution for the three-month period ended September 30, 2014 (which primarily relates to production attributable to the Trust’s interests from June 1, 2014 through August 31, 2014) of $6.9 million, or $0.2469 per unit. The Trust makes distributions on a quarterly basis approximately 60 days after the end of each quarter. The distribution is expected to occur on or before November 28, 2014 to holders of record as of the close of business on November 14, 2014.

During the three-month production period ended August 31, 2014, total sales volumes were lower than initial Trust estimates. During the period, NGL sales volumes were higher than in previous periods as a result of a contractual change to the gathering agreement. As no additional development wells will be drilled, the trust’s production is expected to decline each quarter during the remainder of its life. The lower production resulted in quarterly income available for distribution of $0.2469 per unit.

The Trust owns royalty interests in oil and natural gas properties in the Mississippian formation in Alfalfa, Garfield, Grant and Woods counties in Oklahoma and is entitled to receive proceeds from the sale of production attributable to the royalty interests. As described in the Trust’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), the amount of the quarterly distributions is expected to fluctuate from quarter to quarter, depending on the proceeds received by the Trust as a result of actual production volumes, oil and natural gas prices and the amount and timing of the Trust’s administrative expenses, among other factors. All Trust unitholders share distributions on a pro rata basis.

Volumes, price and distributable income available to unitholders for the period were (dollars in thousands, except per unit):

In addition to wells that were producing at the effective date of the assignment of the royalty interests to the Trust, SandRidge drilled, or caused to be drilled, 124 development wells within an area of mutual interest between January 1, 2011 and April 2013, when SandRidge fulfilled its drilling obligation to the Trust. No new Trust Development Wells have been drilled since April 2013.

Pursuant to IRC Section 1446, withholding tax on income effectively connected to a United States trade or business allocated to foreign partners should be made at the highest marginal rate. Under Section 1441, withholding tax on fixed, determinable, annual, periodic income from United States sources allocated to foreign partners should be made at 30% of gross income unless the rate is reduced by treaty. This is intended to be a qualified notice by SandRidge Mississippian Trust I to nominees and brokers as provided for under Treasury Regulation Section 1.1446-4(b), and while specific relief is not specified for Section 1441 income, this disclosure is intended to suffice. Nominees and brokers should withhold at the highest marginal rate, currently 39.6% for individuals, on the distribution made to foreign partners.
