On November 1, 2021, pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of August 10, 2021 (the "merger agreement"), (i) a wholly owned subsidiary of Chesapeake Energy Corporation ("Chesapeake") merged with and into Vine Energy Inc. ("Vine"), with Vine surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Chesapeake (the "first merger" and the surviving entity, the "surviving corporation", the time of such first merger being the "effective time"); and (ii) immediately following the first merger, the surviving corporation merged with and into Hannibal Merger Sub LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Chesapeake ("Merger Sub LLC"), with Merger Sub LLC surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Chesapeake (the "second merger" and, together with the first merger, the "merger"). (Continued from Footnote 15) Immediately prior to the effective time, each Class B unit representing a limited liability company interest in Vine Energy Holdings LLC (individually, a "Holdings Unit"), and each corresponding share of Vine's Class B common stock, issued and outstanding at such time, was converted into Vine Class A common stock, par value $0.01 per share ("Class A common stock"), and each Holdings Unit and each corresponding share of Vine Class B common stock was cancelled and ceases to exist. As a result of the merger, each eligible share of Vine Class A common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time was converted into the right to receive $1.20 in cash, without interest (the "Cash Consideration"), and 0.2486 shares of Chesapeake's common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "Chesapeake Common Stock", and together with the Cash Consideration, the "merger consideration"). On November 1, 2021, in connection with the closing of the merger, certain funds affiliated with Blackstone Inc. that received the merger consideration distributed an aggregate of 13,628,066 shares of Chesapeake Common Stock, for no additional consideration, to certain of its members, including 8,798,248 shares transferred to BX Vine Oil & Gas Aggregator L.P. and 4,219,405 shares transferred to BX Vine (PUB) Aggregator L.P.
