According to the lawsuit, Chesapeake Energy Corporation announced a proposed private debt exchange on December 2, 2015 (the “Exchange Offer”) to exchange and replace certain Class Notes and certain other notes for newly-issued 8.00% Second Lien Senior Secured Notes due 2022 (the “8.00% 2L Notes”). Chesapeake Energy Corporation’s pursuit of the Exchange Offer benefited only themselves and a minority of holders of Class Notes and violated the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing. The obligations in the Class Notes were made subordinate to the obligations in the 8.00% 2L Notes, impairing class members' right to receive payment of the principal and interest under the Class Notes and the right to sue to compel such payment. The Exchange Offer allowed Chesapeake Energy Corporation to unjustly enrich itself by reducing its indebtedness at the expense of the class members.
