By Rebecca Melvin

New York, Nov. 4 - SandRidge Energy Inc. priced $250 million of convertible perpetual preferred stock at par after the market close Thursday with a dividend of 7% and an initial conversion premium of 32.5%, according to a syndicate source.

The preferred shares, with a $100 par, are convertible after five years, at which time SandRidge can force conversion if its shares exceed 130% of conversion.
