Filed February 2, 2021For Securities:EXEEXEELEXEEWEXEEZ

Summary

EXPAND ENERGY Corp (EXE) filed this 8-K to provide updated financial information reflecting the retrospective application of a reverse stock split and disclosures related to Chesapeake Energy Corporation's (Chesapeake) Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings. The core purpose of this filing is to amend previously reported financial data in EXE's 2019 Form 10-K, specifically impacting selected financial data, management's discussion and analysis, financial statements, and controls and procedures. Investors should note that Chesapeake's Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization was confirmed on January 16, 2021.
