ITEM 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

Attached as Exhibit 99.1 is a press release issued on behalf of the Registrant. The information furnished is not deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is not subject to the liabilities of that section and is not deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

ITEM 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure

As discussed in the press release furnished as Exhibit 99.1 hereto, as previously disclosed, there is a potential for an early termination of SandRidge Mississippian Trust II (the “Trust”). Based on SandRidge Energy, Inc.'s estimates for the next twelve months regarding projected production from the properties in which the Trust owns a royalty interest and estimated pricing based on futures prices as of September 30, 2019 readily available in the public market adjusted for differentials, cash available for distribution for the four consecutive quarters ending December 31, 2019, on a cumulative basis, may fall below $5.0 million, which would require the Trust to commence termination shortly after the quarterly cash distribution is made in February 2020. If that early termination event occurs, The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., the trustee of the Trust (the “Trustee”), will be required to sell all of the Trust’s remaining assets and liquidate the Trust.

In addition, as previously disclosed, commencing with the distribution to unitholders paid in the first quarter of 2019, the Trustee has been withholding the greater of $50,000 or 3.5% of the funds otherwise available for distribution each quarter to gradually increase existing cash reserves by a total of approximately $625,000. This cash is reserved to pay or provide for the payment of future known, anticipated or contingent expenses or liabilities. With the potential of an early termination of the Trust, the withholding for each of the current distribution announced today and the distribution for the three-month period ending December 31, 2019 will be $195,000. The withholding of funds to increase existing cash reserves reduces the amount of cash available for distribution to unitholders, and therefore the increased cash withheld from this quarter’s and next quarter’s distributions could cause the Trust to be required to commence termination as early as February 2020 as discussed above instead of May 2020 as previously estimated and disclosed in the Trust's Form 10-Q filed on August 13, 2019.
