On September 24, 2013, Warburg Pincus distributed, which distribution did not constitute a purchase or sale of securities, an aggregate of approximately 3,520,000 shares ("Distribution Shares") of common stock of Laredo Petroleum Holdings, Inc. held by Warburg Pincus, in the aggregate, to their respective partners on a pro rata basis (the "Distribution") for no consideration. In connection with the Distribution, an aggregate of 43 Distribution Shares were transferred to Randy A. Foutch and an aggregate of 130 Distribution Shares were transferred to Lariat Ranch, LLC.

By reason of the provisions of Rule 16a-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), Mr. Foutch may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of the 450,249 shares of common stock held by Lariat Ranch LLC. Pursuant to Rule 16a-1(a)(4) of the Exchange Act, Mr. Foutch herein states that this Form 4 shall not be deemed an admission that he is the beneficial owner of such shares of common stock. Mr. Foutch disclaims beneficial ownership of the common stock of the Issuer, except to the extent that he has a pecuniary interest in such shares of common stock.
