On September 27, 2016, Chesapeake Energy filed its Form 8-K with the SEC announcing the resignation of two members of its Board Audit Committee effective September 26, 2016.
Two days later, on September 29, 2016, the Company filed another Form 8-K announcing in part “we have received a DOJ subpoena seeking information on our accounting methodology for the acquisition and classification of oil and gas properties and related matters.” This news drove the price of Chesapeake shares down over 9% on heavy volume to close at $6.12 per share that day.
“Among other things, we’re focused on the timing of the Audit Committee director departures and whether Chesapeake improperly accounted for costs associated with oil and natural gas property acquisition, drilling and completion activities,” said Hagens Berman partner Reed Kathrein.
Whistleblowers: Persons with non-public information regarding Chesapeake Energy should consider their options to help in the investigation or take advantage of the SEC Whistleblower program. Under the new SEC whistleblower program, whistleblowers who provide original information may receive rewards totaling up to 30 percent of any successful recovery made by the SEC. For more information, call Reed Kathrein at 510-725-3000 or email [email protected].
