01 Other Events

Item 8.01 Other Events As previously announced, on January 10, 2024, Chesapeake Energy Corporation ("Chesapeake") entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") with Southwestern Energy Company ("Southwestern"), Hulk Merger Sub, Inc., ("Merger Sub Inc"), and Hulk LLC Sub, LLC, each a wholly owned subsidiary of Chesapeake, pursuant to which, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub Inc will merge with and into Southwestern (the "Merger"), with Southwestern surviving the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Chesapeake. The Merger is conditioned on, among other things, the expiration or termination of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the "HSR Act"). Pursuant to the HSR Act, Chesapeake and Southwestern filed notification and report forms with the Department of Justice and the Federal Trade Commission (the "FTC"). On April 4, Chesapeake and Southwestern each received a request for additional information and documentary materials (the "Second Request") from the FTC in connection with the FTC's review of the Merger. Issuance of the Second Request extends the waiting period imposed by the HSR Act until 30 days after Chesapeake and Southwestern have substantially complied with the Second Request, unless that period is extended voluntarily by the parties or terminated sooner by the FTC. Chesapeake and Southwestern will continue to work cooperatively with the FTC in its review of the Merger, and now expect that the Merger will be completed in the second half of 2024, subject to the fulfillment of the other closing conditions, including approvals of Chesapeake and Southwestern shareholders.
