F15 Each share of Class B Common Stock has no economic rights but entitles its holder to one vote on all matters to be voted on by stockholders generally.
F16 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").
F17 (Continued from Footnote 16) 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 (the "exchange ratio") of Chesapeake's common stock, par value $0.01 per share.
F18 Pursuant to the merger agreement, prior to the consummation of the mergers and subject to the terms of the Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of Vine Energy Holdings LLC, dated March 17, 2021, by and among Vine Energy Holdings LLC and the members thereof, the membership units of Vine Energy Holdings LLC were exchanged for Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis and an equivalent number of Class B common stock held by such holder was canceled.
