Model and PT Changes

Chesapeake Energy CHK priced a $1.25 Bn senior notes offering on September 26th consisting of $850 mm in 7.00% notes due 2024
CHK and $400 mm in 7.50% notes due 2026. The company intends to use net proceeds from the offering to repay its
2021 secured 8.50% term loan which had $1.233 Bn of borrowings outstanding as of the end of 2Q. We have
updated the debt schedule within our model accordingly and estimate the new debt structure will result in
annualized interest savings of ~$15 mm. We maintain our In Line rating and $6/shr PT.

Will a Rotation into Energy drive an Inflection in M&A?
Fund flows into energy have the potential to drive an uptick in transactional activity.
Recent flows into energy likely drive questioning of the timing of an inflection for energy
deals and a read-through for the asset market. Historically, periods following increased
capital availability have seen a rise in the number of assets transacting. Indeed, post the
most recent commodity downturn virtually the entire space recapitalized debt and equity in
some amount, with a corresponding rise in both the number of asset deals and values.
While investors in the upstream tend to assimilate deferred commodity (forward NYMEX)
in establishing share price valuations, recent rotation into energy suggests sentiment may
be shifting for longer term, non-specialist investors, particularly those names with
defendable theses (Permian transportation answers, Brent-linked pricing exposure, NGL
leverage, efficiencies control, etc.). In our view, if the broader energy spectrum
increasingly receives interest, look for the impacts to be reflected in more robust capital
markets with the asset market likely following.

A period of increased transactional activity likely emerges in a strengthened equity


market. While the entire industry sought to manage a new low cost operating model
following the collapse of crude prices in 2015, 2016 saw essentially a complete
recapitalization of the sector with ~$40bn of equity issued in CAL16 vs. $20bn in 2014/15
and compared to $<$5bn in YTD18 and ~$10bn in 2017. Transaction activity surged with
balance sheets able to accommodate deals. The increased transaction activity was partly
driven by the emergence of the Delaware basin as the next best L48 ‘resource’ play,
however, that was not the only driver as previous periods of increased A&D activity
tended to follow periods of strong equity capital markets.

Higher commodity expectations look to drive a better market for secondaries. 2018
has seen a materially lower number of public equity issuances with three deals vs. eight in
last year. Commodity expectations certainly played a role. Investors assimilated a much
more bullish forward commodity expectations last with a forward curve in contango vs.
most of 2018. Certainly, the continued rise of the near month part of the curve (Figure 6)
has the potential to impact a change in sentiment.

Debt markets remain receptive as with continued interest new issuances. Credit
markets have shown resiliency post the commodity downturn relative to major disruptions
to the market in 1Q16 where all paper (not just high yield) traded at highly elevated
spreads. January 2016 saw spreads increase from ~200-300 bps to over 2000 bps within
a period of days. Shown below in Figure 8, as crude reached $30/bbl, spreads began to
explode, similar to the period of the 2008/09 Financial Crisis. Spreads returned to
relatively normal levels (faster than commodity recovered) later in 1Q16, similar to recent
issues. Recent investment grade issues have seen pricing <200 bps with lower quality
offerings still under 500 bps.

Anticipating a change in the asset market… A number of lower quality deals remain
outstanding in the marketplace (lower working/revenue interest, lower quality
rock/disadvantaged lease position, etc…). We would highlight mineral interest deals have
shown relatively more interest and more closed transactions over the previous 12 months
(as mineral prices in across all resource plays have risen driven by the number of sponsor
backed teams in the market and deals in anticipated future development areas. While the
supply of higher quality sale packages may be lacking in the marketplace, stronger equity
capital markets likely enable relatively lower quality producers to transact. Our asset
market basin highlights include:

5
Permian: Likely to see more mineral interest packages with an opportunity for larger
holders to consolidate positions. Packages with midstream solutions likely receive a
premium. There are few ‘franchise’ assets remaining and those deals left will likely
continue with the recent past of smaller bolt-on/lateral extension transactions that remain
strategic for the acquirer.
Williston: With better pricing (and transportation relative to the Permian) we expect
higher profile/quality deals to transact in the Bakken over the next 6-12 months. While
recent marketed deals have failed to close, we see the basin being viewed more positively
as advantaged pricing/quality of product begins to be viewed more positively. Investors
are also looking to whether sponsor-backed privates in the basin acquire to grow or sell.
Anadarko: We see relatively little left of size to transact with the core of the basin spoken
for. Incremental deal activity likely occurs in the MERGE play.
EagleFord: Potential to see incrementally more deals coming to market with the potential
for more non-operated assets testing the market as well as packages currently marketed
(MTDR, APA/E.Texas, and PVAC). Several deals highlighted 2018 YTD, the BHP sale
(successful sale to BP) and PXD’s position (partner’s sale).
DJ: We see generally lower deal activity in the basin driven by relatively consolidated
ownership, combined with continued election cycle headwinds and Cushing-linked pricing.
Assets which generally were expected to transact, but haven’t (we would note
WLL/Redtail asset) may see increased interest in a stronger commodity/capital markets
environment.

PXD
Announced plans to divest Eagle Ford and other non-core assets producing in aggregate ~50 mboed at 4Q17 results, including
PXD's interest in the S TX Eagle Ford (~27 mboed in 4Q17, ~30% oil) plus acreage in Sinor Nest Wilcox field. PXD also plans
Eagle Ford, other non-core Unk to divest West Panhandle asset. After selling 10,200 net acres on March 27th, 2018, PXD's acreage position in the Eagle Ford
Shale will be approximately 59,000 net acres, all of which is held by production. As previously announced, the remaining Eagle
Ford Shale acreage position is also being divested.
OAS
OAS sold ~4.4 mboepd of net production and ~65k net acres of non-core assets in the Williston Basin for $283 mm across two
separate agreements. The sold assets include the company's Foreman Butte position and certain non-operated acreage
Bakken non-core Unk
positions. OAS originally targeted $500 mm in proceeds and will continue to evaluate additional non-core properties for potential
divestment as it optimizes its portfolio. The company anticipates to sell non core assets only (with no or limited PDP volumes).
CXO
Following the RSPP acquisition, CEO Tim Leach indicated that he expects active portfolio management in the period following
Post RSPP clean-up Unk the deal with 2 assets for sale. Firstly, CXO has begun marketing 3,800 net (10,900 gross) acres in its Halff East area in Upton
Cty with 800 boed flowing. Secondly, the Big Chief area in the Southern Delaware Basin is another possibility for divestiture.
DVN
While discussions surrounding a possible large scale basin were hinted at by DVN more recently, company's Canadian asset
Canada N/A (Jackfish, Pike and Bonnyville)seems to remain in focus of these talks despite the recent ENLK sale. If achieved , we see a
~$5 Bn deal potential on the table.
In May during one of the industry conferences, DVN indicated that they are looking for a potential buyer for their non-core / non

Less challenged corporate valuations tend to act as a double edged sword with
shares less powerful as acquisition currency but more attractive to qualified
acquirers. Periods of lower valuations have tended to correspond with relatively more
corporate deals. Below we show historical forward multiples and corporate deal counts.
We would note the period of the commodity bull market (2011-2014) showed relatively
less challenged valuations and relatively higher deal counts, similar to 2H17. Certainly,
other factors contribute to factors driving corporate transactions with less challenged
valuations tend to lead to more lucrative consolidation of smaller pure play E&P’s in our
view where synergistic assets can be acquired at more palatable valuations.

E&P Sector Investment Thesis
We take a constructive view of the sector, yet selective in regards to stock selection.
Focus on the E&Ps with the resource base to participate. The winners of the next cycle will
be the resource growth franchises that can deliver volume growth to the addressable market
(for both oil & gas) at the highest returns.
Financial flexibility. Balance sheet strength provides the ability to withstand challenged
fundamentals (particularly if the cycle proves short and volatile) and protect asset value. The
lower cost businesses that were able to maintain operating momentum through the trough have
immeasurable advantages relative to peers who were forced to pull back and suspend activity.
Margins. The debate surrounding mid-cycle margins remains valid, particularly with the
increase in service cost inflation expectations. Upstream margins likely peaked (ex-commodity
price) in 4Q16 with expectations for higher costs (both capital and operating) for 2018. Growth
continues to be one of the only insulators in regards to service cost inflation. Basins where the
resource is continuing to improve (incremental well results better than the last) provide
important operating leverage in E&P. The Permian & Anadarko basins are the focus points of
this improvement.
Returns. We want to own the stocks where an incremental dollar of cash flow (or financial
capacity) will be invested at the highest possible return, driving 2017+ volume (and cash flow)
growth. The maturation of the onshore only (shale) business model and the prospect for self-
funded growth in 2018+ suggests shareholder returns (considering more growth is unlikely to
be rewarded by the market) are likely on the rise. The shifting of the E&P business model to a
more balanced return and growth model hold interesting valuation implications for the sector.

The analysts, Daniel Walk, Daniel Juck, Eric Boyes, Stephen Richardson, primarily responsible for the preparation of this research report attest to
the following: (1) that the views and opinions rendered in this research report reflect his or her personal views about the subject companies or
issuers; and (2) that no part of the research analyst’s compensation was, is, or will be directly related to the specific recommendations or views in
this research report.

DISCLOSURES
This report is approved and/or distributed by Evercore Group LLC ("Evercore Group"), a U.S. licensed broker-dealer regulated by the Financial
Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA"), and International Strategy & Investment Group (UK) Limited ("lSI UK''), which is authorised and
regulated in the United Kingdom by the Financial Conduct Authority. The institutional sales, trading and research businesses of Evercore Group
and lSI UK collectively operate under the global marketing brand name Evercore lSI ("Evercore lSI"). Both Evercore Group and lSI UK are
subsidiaries of Evercore Partners Inc. ("Evercore Partners"). The trademarks, logos and service marks shown on this report are registered
trademarks of Evercore Partners.
The analysts and associates responsible for preparing this report receive compensation based on various factors, including Evercore Partners'
total revenues, a portion of which is generated by affiliated investment banking transactions. Evercore lSI seeks to update its research as
appropriate, but various regulations may prevent this from happening in certain instances. Aside from certain industry reports published on a
periodic basis, the large majority of reports are published at irregular intervals as appropriate in the analyst's judgment.
Evercore lSI generally prohibits analysts, associates and members of their households from maintaining a financial interest in the securities of
any company in the analyst's area of coverage. Any exception to this policy requires specific approval by a member of our Compliance
Department. Such ownership is subject to compliance with applicable regulations and disclosure. Evercore lSI also prohibits analysts, associates
and members of their households from serving as an officer, director, advisory board member or employee of any company that the analyst
covers.
This report may include a Tactical Call, which describes a near-term event or catalyst affecting the subject company or the market overall and
which is expected to have a short-term price impact on the equity shares of the subject company. This Tactical Call is separate from the analyst's
long-term recommendation (Outperform, In Line or Underperform) that reflects a stock's forward 12-month expected return, is not a formal rating
and may differ from the target prices and recommendations reflected in the analyst's long-term view.
Applicable current disclosures regarding the subject companies covered in this report are available at the offices of Evercore lSI, and
can be obtained by writing to Evercore Group LLC, Attn. Compliance, 666 Fifth Avenue, 11th Floor, New York, NY 10103.

qualified holdings on issuers mentioned in this report. Evercore Partners and its affiliates may have, or have had, business relationships with the
companies mentioned in this report.
Additional information on securities or financial instruments mentioned in this report is available upon request.

Ratings Definitions
Current Ratings Definition
Evercore lSI's recommendations are based on a stock's total forecasted return over the next 12 months. Total forecasted return is equal to the
expected percentage price return plus gross dividend yield. We divide our stocks under coverage into three primary ratings categories, with the
following return guidelines:
Outperform- the total forecasted return is expected to be greater than the expected total return of the analyst's coverage universe
In Line- the total forecasted return is expected to be in line with the expected total return of the analyst's universe
Underperform- the total forecasted return is expected to be less than the expected total return of the analyst's universe
Coverage Suspended- the rating and target price have been removed pursuant to Evercore lSI policy when Evercore is acting in an advisory
capacity in a merger or strategic transaction involving this company and in certain other circumstances.*
Rating Suspended- Evercore lSI has suspended the rating and target price for this stock because there is not sufficient fundamental basis for
determining, or there are legal, regulatory or policy constraints around publishing, a rating or target price. The previous rating and target price, if
any, are no longer in effect for this company and should not be relied upon.*
*Prior to October 10, 2015, the "Coverage Suspended" and "Rating Suspended" categories were included in the category "Suspended."
FlNRA requires that members who use a ratings system with terms other than "Buy," "Hold/Neutral" and "Sell" to equate their own
ratings to these categories. For this purpose, and in the Evercore lSI ratings distribution below, our Outperform, In Line, and
Underperform ratings can be equated to Buy, Hold and Sell, respectively.
Historical Ratings Definitions
Prior to March 2, 2017, Evercore lSI's recommendations were based on a stock's total forecasted return over the next 12 months:
Buy- the total forecasted return is expected to be greater than 10%

47
Hold- the total forecasted return is expected to be greater than or equal to 0% and less than or equal to 10%
Sell -the total forecasted return is expected to be less than 0%
On October 31, 2014, Evercore Partners acquired International Strategy & Investment Group LLC ("lSI Group") and lSI UK (the "Acquisition") and
transferred Evercore Group's research, sales and trading businesses to lSI Group. On December 31, 2015, the combined research, sales and
trading businesses were transferred back to Evercore Group in an internal reorganization. Since the Acquisition, the combined research, sales
and trading businesses have operated under the global marketing brand name Evercore lSI.
lSI Group and lSI UK:
Prior to October 10, 2014, the ratings system of lSI Group LLC and lSI UK which was based on a 12-month risk adjusted total return:
Strong Buy- Return > 20%
Buy- Return 10% to 20%
Neutral - Return 0% to 10%
Cautious- Return -10% to 0%
Sell- Return< -10%
For disclosure purposes, lSI Group and lSI UK ratings were viewed as follows: Strong Buy and Buy equate to Buy, Neutral equates to Hold, and
Cautious and Sell equate to Sell.
Evercore Group:
Prior to October 10, 2014, the rating system of Evercore Group was based on a stock's expected total return relative to the analyst's coverage
universe over the following 12 months. Stocks under coverage were divided into three categories:
Overweight- the stock is expected to outperform the average total return of the analyst's coverage universe over the next 12 months.
Equal-Weight- the stock is expected to perform in line with the average total return of the analyst's coverage universe over the next 12 months.
Underweight -the stock is expected to underperform the average total return of the analyst's coverage universe over the next 12 months.
Suspended- the company rating, target price and earnings estimates have been temporarily suspended.
For disclosure purposes, Evercore Group's prior "Overweight," "Equal-Weight" and "Underweight" ratings were viewed as "Buy," "Hold" and
"Sell," respectively.
Ratings Definitions for Portfolio-Based Coverage
Evercore lSI utilizes an alternate rating system for companies covered by analysts who use a model portfolio-based approach to determine a
company's investment recommendation. Covered companies are included or not included as holdings in the analyst's Model Portfolio, and have
the following ratings:
Long- the stock is a positive holding in the model portfolio; the total forecasted return is expected to be greater than 0%.
Short- the stock is a negative holding in the model portfolio; the total forecasted return is expected to be less than 0%.
No Position- the stock is not included in the model portfolio.
Coverage Suspended- the rating and target price have been removed pursuant to Evercore lSI policy when Evercore is acting in an advisory
capacity in a merger or strategic transaction involving this company, and in certain other circumstances; a stock in the model portfolio is removed.
Rating Suspended - Evercore lSI has suspended the rating and/or target price for this stock because there is not sufficient fundamental basis for
determining, or there are legal, regulatory or policy constraints around publishing, a rating or target price. The previous rating and target price, if
any, are no longer in effect for this company and should not be relied upon; a stock in the model portfolio is removed.
Stocks included in the model portfolio will be weighted from 0 to 100% for Long and 0 to -100% for Short. A stock's weight in the portfolio reflects
the analyst's degree of conviction in the stock's rating relative to other stocks in the portfolio. The model portfolio may also include a cash
component. At any given time the aggregate weight of the stocks included in the portfolio and the cash component must equal100%.
Stocks assigned ratings under the alternative model portfolio-based coverage system cannot also be rated by Evercore lSI's Current Ratings
definitions of Outperform, In Line and Underperform.
FlNRA requires that members who use a ratings system with terms other than "Buy," "Hold/Neutral" and "Sell," to equate their own
ratings to these categories. For this purpose, and in the Evercore lSI ratings distribution below, our Long, No Position and Short
ratings can be equated to Buy, Hold and Sell respectively.
