Effect of the Spin-off on Share-Based Compensation
The employee matters agreement entered into in connection with the June 2014 spin-off of our oilfield services
business (see Note 13) addresses the treatment of holders of Chesapeake stock options, restricted stock and PSUs.
Unvested equity-based compensation awards held by COO employees were canceled and replaced with new awards
of SSE, and unvested equity-based compensation awards held by Chesapeake employees were adjusted to account
for the spin-off, each as of the spin-off date. The employee matters agreement provides that employees of SSE ceased
to participate in benefit plans sponsored or maintained by Chesapeake as of the spin-off date. In addition, the employee
matters agreement provides that as of the spin-off date, each party is responsible for the compensation of its current
employees and for all liabilities relating to its former employees, as determined by their respective employer on the
date of termination.
