Note 2: Earnings per share

We have not historically presented earnings per share (“EPS”) because our common stock did not previously trade on a public market, either on a stock exchange or in the over-the-counter (“OTC”) market. Accordingly, we were permitted under accounting guidance to omit such disclosure. However, the OTCQB tier of the OTC Markets Group Inc. began quoting our Class A common stock on May 26, 2017, under the symbol “CHPE”. From May 18, 2017, through May 25, 2017, our Class A common stock was quoted on the OTC Pink marketplace under the symbol “CHHP”. Our Class B common stock is not listed or quoted on the OTCQB or any other stock exchange or quotation system. Our Class A and Class B common stock shares equally in dividends and undistributed earnings. We are presenting basic and diluted EPS for all Successor periods subsequent to our emergence from bankruptcy but are not presenting EPS for any Predecessor period.

We are required under accounting guidance to compute EPS using the two-class method which considers multiple classes of common stock and participating securities. All securities that meet the definition of a participating security are to be included in the computation of basic EPS under the two-class method. Our unvested restricted stock awards are considered to be participating securities as they include non-forfeitable dividend rights in the event a dividend is paid on our common stock. Our participating securities do not participate in undistributed net losses because they are not contractually obligated to do so and hence are not included in the computation of EPS in periods when a net loss occurs.

A reconciliation of the components of basic and diluted EPS is presented below:

(1)

The warrants to purchase shares of our Class A common stock are antidilutive due to the exercise price exceeding the average price of our Class A shares for the periods presented and due to the net losses we incurred.
