FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

• This presentation includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities

Exchange Act of 1934. Forward-looking statements are statements other than statements of historical fact. They include statements that give our current

expectations or forecasts of future events, production and well connection forecasts, estimates of operating costs, planned development drilling and expected

drilling cost reductions, capital expenditures, expected efficiency gains, our ability to improve margins, reduce operating and G&A expenses, optimize base

production, the timing of anticipated noncore asset sales and proceeds to be received therefrom, projected cash flow and liquidity, business strategy and other

opportunities, plans and objectives for future operations (including restructuring of midstream gathering agreements), and the assumptions on which such

statements are based. Although we believe the expectations and forecasts reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we can give no

assurance they will prove to have been correct. They can be affected by inaccurate or changed assumptions or by known or unknown risks and uncertainties.

• Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from expected results include those described under "Risk Factors” in Item 1A of our annual report

on Form 10-K and any updates to those factors set forth in Chesapeake's subsequent quarterly reports on Form 10-Q or current reports on Form 8-K

(available at http://www.chk.com/investors/sec-filings). These risk factors include the volatility of oil, natural gas and NGL prices; write-downs of our oil and

natural gas carrying values due to declines in prices; the limitations our level of indebtedness may have on our financial flexibility; the availability of operating

cash flow and other funds to finance reserve replacement costs; our ability to replace reserves and sustain production; uncertainties inherent in estimating

quantities of oil, natural gas and NGL reserves and projecting future rates of production and the amount and timing of development expenditures; our ability to

generate profits or achieve targeted results in drilling and well operations; leasehold terms expiring before production can be established; commodity derivative

activities resulting in lower prices realized on oil, natural gas and NGL sales; the need to secure derivative liabilities and the inability of counterparties to satisfy

their obligations; adverse developments or losses from pending or future litigation and regulatory proceedings, including royalty claims; charges incurred in

response to market conditions and in connection with actions to reduce financial leverage and complexity; drilling and operating risks and resulting liabilities;

effects of environmental protection laws and regulation on our business; legislative and regulatory initiatives further regulating hydraulic fracturing; our need to

secure adequate supplies of water for our drilling operations and to dispose of or recycle the water used; federal and state tax proposals affecting our industry;

potential OTC derivatives regulation limiting our ability to hedge against commodity price fluctuations; impacts of potential legislative and regulatory actions

addressing climate change; competition in the oil and gas exploration and production industry; a deterioration in general economic, business or industry

conditions; negative public perceptions of our industry; limited control over properties we do not operate; pipeline and gathering system capacity constraints and

transportation interruptions; cyber attacks adversely impacting our operations; and interruption in operations at our headquarters due to a catastrophic event.

• In addition, disclosures concerning the estimated contribution of derivative contracts to our future results of operations are based upon market information as

of a specific date. These market prices are subject to significant volatility. Our production forecasts are also dependent upon many assumptions, including

estimates of production decline rates from existing wells and the outcome of future drilling activity. Expected asset sales may not be completed in the time

frame anticipated or at all. We caution you not to place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this presentation,

and we undertake no obligation to update any of the information provided in this presentation, except as required by applicable law.
