Chesapeake Energy Corporation (the “Company,” “we,” “our” and “us”), an Oklahoma corporation, has delivered to the undersigned a copy of the Prospectus/Offers to Exchange dated August 31, 2022 (the “Prospectus/Offers to Exchange”) of the Company and the related Letter of Transmittal (as it may be supplemented and amended from time to time, the “Letter of Transmittal”), which together set forth the offers of the Company to the holders of all of our outstanding Class A warrants (the “Class A warrants”), Class B warrants (the “Class B warrants”), and Class C warrants (the “Class C warrants,” and together with the Class A warrants and Class B warrants, the “warrants”), each to purchase shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”), of Chesapeake Energy Corporation (the “Company”), to exchange their warrants for the applicable consideration described below (each an “Offer” and collectively, the “Offers”).

The consideration being offered to warrantholders in the Offers is as follows:

· with respect to Class A warrants to be exchanged by an exchanging holder, the consideration offered is the Class A Exchange Consideration (as defined below);

· with respect to Class B warrants to be exchanged by an exchanging holder, the consideration offered is the Class B Exchange Consideration (as defined below); and

1

· with respect to Class C warrants to be exchanged by an exchanging holder, the consideration offered is the Class C Exchange Consideration (as defined below).

For the purposes of the Prospectus/Offers to Exchange, the following terms have the meaning ascribed to them:

“Class A Daily Share Amount” means, for any VWAP Trading Day during the Observation Period, one-tenth (1/10) of the product of (a) the Class A Warrant Entitlement; (b) the Class A Premium; and (c) the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the excess, if any, of the Daily VWAP per share of Common Stock on such VWAP Trading Day over the Class A Strike Price by (y) such Daily VWAP per share of Common Stock. For the avoidance of doubt, the Class A Daily Share Amount will be zero for such VWAP Trading Day if such Daily VWAP per share of Common Stock does not exceed the Class A Strike Price.

“Class A Exchange Consideration” means, with respect to the Class A warrants to be exchanged by such exchanging holder, a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the product of (a) the number of Class A warrants to be exchanged by such exchanging holder; and (b) the sum of the Class A Daily Share Amounts for each day in the Observation Period for such Class A warrant; provided, however, that if the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock deliverable to any exchanging holder is not a whole number, then, in lieu of issuing any fractional share of Common Stock, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable will be rounded up to the nearest whole number.

“Class A Premium” means 1.04.

“Class A Strike Price” means $25.096.

“Class A Warrant Entitlement” means 1.12.

“Class B Daily Share Amount” means, for any VWAP Trading Day during the Observation Period, one-tenth (1/10) of the product of (a) the Class B Warrant Entitlement; (b) the Class B Premium; and (c) the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the excess, if any, of the Daily VWAP per share of Common Stock on such VWAP Trading Day over the Class B Strike Price by (y) such Daily VWAP per share of Common Stock. For the avoidance of doubt, the Class B Daily Share Amount will be zero for such VWAP Trading Day if such Daily VWAP per share of Common Stock does not exceed the Class B Strike Price.

“Class B Exchange Consideration” means, with respect to the Class B warrants to be exchanged by such exchanging holder, a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the product of (a) the number of Class B warrants to be exchanged by such exchanging holder; and (b) the sum of the Class B Daily Share Amounts for each day in the Observation Period for such Class B warrant; provided, however, that if the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock deliverable to any exchanging holder is not a whole number, then, in lieu of issuing any fractional share of Common Stock, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable will be rounded up to the nearest whole number.

“Class B Premium” means 1.05.

“Class B Strike Price” means $29.182.

“Class B Warrant Entitlement” means 1.12.

“Class C Daily Share Amount” means, for any VWAP Trading Day during the Observation Period, one-tenth (1/10) of the product of (a) the Class C Warrant Entitlement; (b) the Class C Premium; and (c) the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the excess, if any, of the Daily VWAP per share of Common Stock on such VWAP Trading Day over the Class C Strike Price by (y) such Daily VWAP per share of Common Stock.

“Class C Premium” means 1.065.

“Class C Strike Price” means $32.860.

“Class C Warrant Entitlement” means 1.12.

“Daily VWAP” means, for any VWAP Trading Day, the per share volume-weighted average price of the Common Stock as displayed under the heading “Bloomberg VWAP” on Bloomberg page “CHK <EQUITY> AQR” (or, if such page is not available, its equivalent successor page) in respect of the period from the scheduled open of trading until the scheduled close of trading of the primary trading session on such VWAP Trading Day (or, if such volume-weighted average price is unavailable, the market value of one share of Common Stock on such VWAP Trading Day, determined, using a volume-weighted average price method, by a nationally recognized independent investment banking firm selected by the Company). The Daily VWAP will be determined without regard to after-hours trading or any other trading outside of the regular trading session.

“Observation Period” means the ten consecutive VWAP Trading Days immediately preceding October 1, 2022.

“VWAP Market Disruption Event” means, with respect to any date, (a) the failure by the principal U.S. national or regional securities exchange on which the Common Stock is then listed, or, if the Common Stock is not then listed on a U.S. national or regional securities exchange, the principal other market on which the Common Stock is then traded, to open for trading during its regular trading session on such date; or (b) the occurrence or existence, for more than one half hour period in the aggregate, of any suspension or limitation imposed on trading (by reason of movements in price exceeding limits permitted by the relevant exchange or otherwise) in the Common Stock or in any options, contracts or futures contracts relating to the Common Stock, and such suspension or limitation occurs or exists at any time before 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on such date.

“VWAP Trading Day” means a day on which (a) there is no VWAP Market Disruption Event; and (b) trading in the Common Stock generally occurs on the principal U.S. national or regional securities exchange on which the Common Stock is then listed or, if the Common Stock is not then listed on a U.S. national or regional securities exchange, on the principal other market on which the Common Stock is then traded. If the Common Stock is not so listed or traded, then “VWAP Trading Day” means a Business Day.

For the avoidance of doubt, if a holder exchanges more than one (1) warrant of a particular series in the applicable Offer, then the consideration due in respect of such exchange of such series of warrants will (in the case of any warrants held through Depository Trust Company (“DTC”), to the extent permitted by, and practicable under, DTC’s procedures) be computed based on the total number of warrants of such series exchanged by such holder..

The Offers are being made to all holders of our publicly traded Class A warrants (the “Class A Warrants Offer”), Class B warrants (the “Class B Warrants Offer”), and Class C warrants (the “Class C Warrants Offer”) that were originally issued upon our emergence from Chapter 11 Bankruptcy on February 9, 2021. Currently, each holder of a Class A warrant is entitled to purchase 1.12 shares of the Company’s Common Stock for $25.096 per share, each holder of a Class B warrant is entitled to purchase 1.12 shares of the Company’s Common Stock for $29.182 per share, and each holder of a Class C warrant is entitled to purchase 1.12 shares of the Company’s Common Stock for $32.860 per share. As of August 17, 2022, there were 9,751,853 Class A warrants, 12,290,669 Class B warrants and 11,269,865 Class C warrants outstanding.

3

Our Common Stock, Class A warrants, Class B warrants and Class C warrants are listed on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“NASDAQ”) under the symbols “CHK,” “CHKEW,” “CHKEZ” and “CHKEL,” respectively. The Class A warrants are governed by that certain Warrant Agreement, dated as of February 9, 2021 (the “Class A Warrant Agreement”), between the Company and Equiniti Trust Company, as warrant agent (the “Warrant Agent”); the Class B warrants are governed by that certain Warrant Agreement, dated as of February 9, 2021 (the “Class B Warrant Agreement”), between the Company and the Warrant Agent; and the Class C warrants are governed by that certain Warrant Agreement, dated as of February 9, 2021 (the “Class C Warrant Agreement,” and together with the Class A Warrant Agreement and Class B Warrant Agreement, the “Warrant Agreements”), between the Company and the Warrant Agent.

No fractional shares of Common Stock will be issued pursuant to the Offers. In lieu of issuing fractional shares, any holder of warrants who would otherwise have been entitled to receive fractional shares pursuant to an Offer will receive an amount of Common Stock calculated in accordance with the definitions of Class A Exchange Consideration, Class B Exchange Consideration or Class C Exchange Consideration, as applicable. Our obligation to complete the Offers are not conditioned on the receipt of a minimum number of tendered warrants. None of the Offers is conditioned on the completion of any other Offer.

Warrants not exchanged for the applicable exchange consideration pursuant to the Offers will remain outstanding subject to their current terms. We reserve the right in the future to repurchase any of the warrants, as applicable, at prices or terms different than what is offered in the Offers, subject to applicable law.

Each Offer is made solely upon the terms and conditions in this Prospectus/Offers to Exchange and in the related letter of transmittal (as it may be supplemented and amended from time to time, the “Letter of Transmittal”). Each Offer will be open until 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on September 30, 2022, or such later time and date to which we may extend (the period during which an Offer is open, giving effect to any withdrawal or extension, is referred to as an “Offer Period,” and the date and time at which an Offer Period ends is referred to as an “Expiration Date”). The Offers are not being made to those holders who reside in states or other jurisdictions where an offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.

We may withdraw an Offer only if the conditions to such Offer are not satisfied or waived prior to the applicable Expiration Date. Promptly upon any such withdrawal, we will return the tendered warrants to the holders.

This Letter of Transmittal is to be used to accept an Offer if the applicable warrants are to be tendered by effecting a book-entry transfer into the exchange agent’s account at the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) and instructions are not being transmitted through DTC’s Automated Tender Offer Program (“ATOP”). Except in instances where a holder intends to tender warrants through ATOP, the holder should complete, execute and deliver this Letter of Transmittal to indicate the action it desires to take with respect to an Offers.

Holders of warrants tendering warrants by book-entry transfer to the exchange agent’s account at DTC may execute the tender through ATOP, and in that case need not complete, execute and deliver this Letter of Transmittal. DTC participants accepting an Offer may transmit their acceptance to DTC, which will verify the acceptance and execute a book-entry delivery to the exchange agent’s account at DTC. DTC will then send an “Agent’s Message” to the exchange agent for its acceptance. Delivery of the Agent’s Message by DTC will satisfy the terms of an Offer as to execution and delivery of a Letter of Transmittal by the DTC participant identified in the Agent’s Message.

As used in this Letter of Transmittal with respect to the tender procedures set forth herein, the term “registered holder” means any person in whose name warrants are registered on the books of the Company or who is listed as a participant in a clearing agency’s security position listing with respect to the warrants.

4

THE OFFERS ARE NOT MADE TO THOSE HOLDERS WHO RESIDE IN STATES OR OTHER JURISDICTIONS WHERE AN OFFER, SOLICITATION OR SALE WOULD BE UNLAWFUL.

PLEASE SEE THE INSTRUCTIONS TO THIS LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL BEGINNING ON PAGE 10 FOR THE PROPER USE AND DELIVERY OF THIS LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL.

INSTRUCTIONS

FORMING PART OF THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE OFFERS

1. Delivery of Letter of Transmittal and Warrants. This Letter of Transmittal is to be used only if tenders of warrants are to be made by book-entry transfer to the exchange agent’s account at DTC and instructions are not being transmitted through ATOP with respect to such tenders.

Warrants may be validly tendered pursuant to the procedures for book-entry transfer as described in the Prospectus/Offers to Exchange. In order for warrants to be validly tendered by book-entry transfer, the exchange agent must receive the following prior to the applicable Expiration Date, except as otherwise permitted by use of the procedures for guaranteed delivery as described below:

(i) timely confirmation of the transfer of such warrants to the exchange agent’s account at DTC (a “Book-Entry Confirmation”);

(ii) either a properly completed and duly executed Letter of Transmittal, or a properly transmitted “Agent’s Message” if the tendering Warrant holder has not delivered a Letter of Transmittal; and

(iii) any other documents required by this Letter of Transmittal.

The term “Agent’s Message” means a message, transmitted by DTC to, and received by, the exchange agent and forming a part of a Book-Entry Confirmation, which states that DTC has received an express acknowledgment from the participant in DTC exchanging the warrants that such participant has received and agrees to be bound by the terms of the Letter of Transmittal and that the Company may enforce such agreement against the participant. If you are tendering by book-entry transfer, you must expressly acknowledge that you have received and agree to be bound by the Letter of Transmittal and that the Letter of Transmittal may be enforced against you.

Delivery of a Letter of Transmittal to the Company or DTC will not constitute valid delivery to the exchange agent. No Letter of Transmittal should be sent to the Company or DTC.

THE METHOD OF DELIVERY OF THIS LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL, TENDERED WARRANTS AND ALL OTHER REQUIRED DOCUMENTS, INCLUDING DELIVERY THROUGH DTC AND ANY ACCEPTANCE OR AGENT’S MESSAGE DELIVERED THROUGH ATOP, IS AT THE OPTION AND RISK OF THE TENDERING WARRANT HOLDER, AND EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE PROVIDED IN THESE INSTRUCTIONS, THE DELIVERY WILL BE DEEMED MADE ONLY WHEN ACTUALLY RECEIVED BY THE EXCHANGE AGENT. IF DELIVERY IS BY MAIL, REGISTERED MAIL WITH RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED, PROPERLY INSURED, IS RECOMMENDED. THE WARRANT HOLDER HAS THE RESPONSIBILITY TO CAUSE THIS LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL, THE TENDERED WARRANTS AND ANY OTHER DOCUMENTS TO BE TIMELY DELIVERED. IN ALL CASES, SUFFICIENT TIME SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO ENSURE TIMELY DELIVERY.

Neither the Company nor the exchange agent is under any obligation to notify any tendering holder of the Company’s acceptance of tendered warrants.

2. Guaranteed Delivery. Warrant holders desiring to tender warrants pursuant to each applicable Offer but whose warrants cannot otherwise be delivered with all other required documents to the exchange agent prior to the applicable Expiration Date may nevertheless tender warrants, as long as all of the following conditions are satisfied:

(i) the tender must be made by or through an “Eligible Institution” (as defined in Instruction 4);

(ii) a properly completed and duly executed Notice of Guaranteed Delivery in the form provided by the Company to the undersigned with this Letter of Transmittal (with any required signature guarantees) must be received by the exchange agent, at its address set forth in this Letter of Transmittal, prior to the applicable Expiration Date; and

12

(iii) a confirmation of a book-entry transfer into the exchange agent’s account at DTC of all warrants delivered electronically, in each case together with a properly completed and duly executed Letter of Transmittal with any required signature guarantees (or, in the case of a book-entry transfer without delivery of a Letter of Transmittal, an Agent’s Message), and any other documents required by this Letter of Transmittal, must be received by the exchange agent within two days that the NASDAQ is open for trading after the date the exchange agent receives such Notice of Guaranteed Delivery, all as provided in the Prospectus/Offers to Exchange.

A Warrant holder may deliver the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery by facsimile transmission or mail to the exchange agent.

Except as specifically permitted by the Prospectus/Offers to Exchange, no alternative or contingent exchanges will be accepted.

3. Signatures on Letter of Transmittal and other Documents. For purposes of the tender and consent procedures set forth in this Letter of Transmittal, the term “registered holder” means any person in whose name warrants are registered on the books of the Company or who is listed as a participant in a clearing agency’s security position listing with respect to the warrants.

If this Letter of Transmittal is signed by a trustee, executor, administrator, guardian, attorney-in-fact, officer of a corporation, or others acting in a fiduciary or representative capacity, such person must so indicate when signing and, unless waived by the Company, must submit to the exchange agent proper evidence satisfactory to the Company of the authority so to act.

4. Guarantee of Signatures. No signature guarantee is required if:

(i) this Letter of Transmittal is signed by the registered holder of the warrants and such holder has not completed the box entitled “Special Issuance Instructions”; or

(ii) such warrants are tendered for the account of an Eligible Institution. An “Eligible Institution” is a bank, broker dealer, credit union, savings association or other entity that is a member in good standing of the Securities Transfer Agents Medallion Program or a bank, broker, dealer, credit union, savings association or other entity that is an “eligible guarantor institution,” as that term is defined in Rule 17Ad-15 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

IN ALL OTHER CASES, AN ELIGIBLE INSTITUTION MUST GUARANTEE ALL SIGNATURES ON THIS LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL BY COMPLETING AND SIGNING THE TABLE ENTITLED “GUARANTEE OF SIGNATURE(S)” ABOVE.

5. Warrants Tendered. Any Warrant holder who chooses to participate in each applicable Offer may exchange some or all of such holder’s warrants pursuant to the terms of each applicable Offer.

6. Inadequate Space. If the space provided under “Description of Warrants Tendered” is inadequate, the name(s) and address(es) of the registered holder(s), number of warrants being delivered herewith, and number of such warrants tendered hereby should be listed on a separate, signed schedule and attached to this Letter of Transmittal.

7. Transfer Taxes. The Company will pay all transfer taxes, if any, applicable to the transfer of warrants to the Company in each applicable Offer. If transfer taxes are imposed for any other reason, the amount of those transfer taxes, whether imposed on the registered holder or any other persons, will be payable by the tendering holder. Other reasons transfer taxes could be imposed include:

(i) If shares of Common Stock are to be registered or issued in the name of any person other than the person signing this Letter of Transmittal; or

(ii) if tendered warrants are registered in the name of any person other than the person signing this Letter of Transmittal.

If satisfactory evidence of payment of or exemption from those transfer taxes is not submitted with this Letter of Transmittal, the amount of those transfer taxes will be billed directly to the tendering holder and/or withheld from any payment due with respect to the warrants tendered by such holder.

8. Validity of Tenders. All questions as to the number of warrants to be accepted, and the validity, form, eligibility (including time of receipt) and acceptance of any tender of warrants will be determined by the Company in its sole discretion, which determinations shall be final and binding on all parties. The Company reserves the absolute right to reject any or all tenders of warrants it determines not to be in proper form or to reject those warrants, the acceptance of which may, in the opinion of the Company’s counsel, be unlawful. The Company also reserves the absolute right to waive any defect or irregularity in the tender of any particular warrants, whether or not similar defects or irregularities are waived in the case of other tendered warrants. The Company’s interpretation of the terms and conditions of each applicable Offer (including this Letter of Transmittal and the instructions hereto) will be final and binding on all parties. Unless waived, any defects or irregularities in connection with tenders of warrants must be cured within such time as the Company shall determine. None of the Company, the exchange agent, the information agent, the dealer managers or any other person is or will be obligated to give notice of any defects or irregularities in tenders of warrants, and none of them will incur any liability for failure to give any such notice. Tenders of warrants will not be deemed to have been validly made until all defects and irregularities have been cured or waived. Any warrants received by the exchange agent that are not validly tendered and as to which the defects or irregularities have not been cured or waived will be returned by the exchange agent to the holders, unless otherwise provided in this Letter of Transmittal, as soon as practicable following the applicable Expiration Date. Warrants holders who have any questions about the procedure for tendering warrants in each applicable Offer should contact the information agent at the address and telephone number indicated herein.

9. Waiver of Conditions. The Company reserves the absolute right to waive any condition, other than as described in the section of the Prospectus/Offers to Exchange entitled “The Offers— General Terms — Conditions to the Offers.”

10. Withdrawal. Tenders of warrants may be withdrawn only pursuant to the procedures and subject to the terms set forth in the section of the Prospectus/Offers to Exchange entitled “The Offers— Withdrawal Rights.” Warrants holders can withdraw tendered warrants at any time prior to the applicable Expiration Date, and warrants that the Company has not accepted for exchange by October 10, 2022, may thereafter be withdrawn at any time after such date until such warrants are accepted by the Company for exchange pursuant to an Offer. Except as otherwise provided in the Prospectus/Offers to Exchange, in order for the withdrawal of warrants to be effective, a written notice of withdrawal satisfying the applicable requirements for withdrawal set forth in the section of the Prospectus/Offers to Exchange entitled “The Offers— Withdrawal Rights” must be timely received from the holder by the exchange agent at its address stated herein, together with any other information required as described in such section of the Prospectus/Offers to Exchange. All questions as to the form and validity (including time of receipt) of any notice of withdrawal will be determined by the Company, in its reasonable discretion, and its determination shall be final and binding. None of the Company, the exchange agent, the information agent, the dealer managers or any other person is under any duty to give notification of any defect or irregularity in any notice of withdrawal or will incur any liability for failure to give any such notification. Any warrants properly withdrawn will be deemed not to have been validly tendered for purposes of an Offer. However, at any time prior to the applicable Expiration Date, a arrant holder may re-tender withdrawn warrants by following the applicable procedures discussed in the Prospectus/Offers to Exchange and this Letter of Transmittal. Consents may be revoked only by withdrawing the related warrants and the withdrawal of any warrants will automatically constitute a revocation of the related consents.
