Commitments and Contingencies Included below is a discussion of the Company's various future commitments and contingencies as of December 31, 2019. The commitments and contingencies under these arrangements are not recorded in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. At December 31, 2019 the Company's only material commitment in each of the next five years and beyond is its asset retirement obligations. See Note 12 for additional discussions. Litigation and Claims. As previously disclosed, on May 16, 2016, the Debtors filed voluntary petitions for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code in the Bankruptcy Court. The Bankruptcy Court confirmed the Plan on September 9, 2016, and the Debtors subsequently emerged from bankruptcy on October 4, 2016. Pursuant to the Plan, claims against the Company were discharged without recovery in each of the following consolidated cases (the Cases):  In re SandRidge Energy, Inc. Securities Litigation , Case No. 5:12-cv-01341-LRW, USDC, Western District of Oklahoma; and  Ivan Nibur, Lawrence Ross, Jase Luna, Matthew Willenbucher, and the Duane &amp; Virginia Lanier Trust v. SandRidge Mississippian Trust I, et al ., Case No. 5:15-cv-00634-SLP, USDC, Western District of Oklahoma The lead plaintiffs in both In re SandRidge Energy, Inc. Securities Litigation and Lanier Trust assert claims on behalf of themselves and (i) in In re SandRidge Energy, Inc. Securities Litigation , a class of all purchasers of SandRidge common stock from February 24, 2011 and November 8, 2012 under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder, and (ii) in Lanier Trust , a putative class of purchasers of SandRidge Mississippian Trust I and SandRidge Mississippian Trust II common units between April 7, 2011 and November 8, 2012 under Sections 11, 12(a)(2), and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933 and Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder, both based on allegations that defendants, which include certain former officers of the Company and the SandRidge Mississippian Trust I, made misrepresentations or omissions concerning various topics including the performance of wells operated by the Company in the Mississippian region. Discovery in each of the Cases closed on June 19, 2019. Following a hearing on class certification in each of the Cases on September 6, 2019, the court granted class certification in In re SandRidge Energy, Inc. Securities Litigation on September 30, 2019. The motion for class certification in Lanier Trust remains pending. In each of the Cases, lead plaintiffs seek to recover unspecified damages, interest, costs and expenses incurred in the litigation on behalf of themselves and class members. Although the claims against the Company in each Case have been discharged pursuant to the Plan, the Company remains a nominal defendant in each of the Cases to the extent necessary to allow recovery from applicable insurance policies or proceeds. In addition, the Company owes indemnity obligations and/or the obligation to advance legal fees, to certain former officers who remain as defendants in each action. The Company may also be contractually obligated to indemnify the SandRidge Mississippian Trust I against losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses, including reasonable costs of investigation and attorneys fees and expenses, arising out of the Cases, and such indemnification is not covered by insurance. In light of the status of the Cases, and the facts, circumstances and legal theories relating thereto, the Company is not able to determine the likelihood of an outcome in either case or provide an estimate of any reasonably possible loss or range of possible loss related thereto. However, considering the erosion of insurance coverage available to the Company, such losses, if incurred, could be material. The Company has not established any liabilities relating to the Cases and believes that the plaintiffs claims are without merit. The Company intends to continue to vigorously defend against the Cases in its capacity as a nominal defendant. In addition to the matters described above, the Company is involved in various lawsuits, claims and proceedings which are being handled and defended by the Company in the ordinary course of business, none of which is deemed to be individually material at this time. Due to the inherent uncertainty of litigation, however, there can be no assurance that the resolution of any particular claim or proceeding would not have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial position or liquidity.
