By Paul A. Harris

St. Louis, May 11 - SandRidge Energy, Inc. priced an upsized $365.5 million issue of 9 7/8% seven-year senior notes (B3/B-) at 95.773 to yield 10¾% on Monday, according to an informed source.

The yield came on top of yield talk, and the issue price came within the context of price talk for 4 to 5 points of original issue discount.
