Activist investor Carl Icahn plans to nominate a slate of directors for Oklahoma-based SandRidge Energy, he and various investment vehicles said in a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 4. Icahn said he had concerns about the company’s ability to run a sale process and that his nominees would run an auction for the oil company in a “fair and timely manner.” He might also be willing to make an all-cash offer for the company, according to the filing.

Icahn is the largest shareholder in SandRidge with a 13.5 percent stake. The company has not set a date for its annual meeting.
