(1)	The shares of Common Stock (the "Common Stock") of Midstates Petroleum Company, Inc. (the "Issuer") are held directly by Avenue Energy Opportunities Fund, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the "Fund"). Avenue Energy Opportunities Partners, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, is the general partner to the Fund. GL Energy Opportunities Partners, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, is the managing member of Avenue Energy Opportunities Partners, LLC. Avenue Capital Management II, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ("Avenue Capital Management"), is the investment adviser to the Fund.

(2)	Marc Lasry is the managing member of GL Energy Opportunities Partners, LLC and Avenue Capital Management II GenPar, LLC. Mr. Lasry is deemed to be the indirect beneficial owner of the securities reported by reason of his ability to direct the vote and/or disposition of such securities, and his pecuniary interest in such shares (within the meaning of Rule 16a-1(a)(2) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) is a fractional interest in such amount.
(3)	This amendment is being filed to reflect the actual number of shares of Common Stock accepted by the Issuer in the Issuer's tender offer.
