ITEM 9A. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in
reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time
periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management,
including our principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding
required disclosure. As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision
and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the
effectiveness of the design and operation of Chesapeake’s disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange
