This was a 2 for 1 split, meaning for each share of CHK owned pre-split, the shareholder now owned 2 shares. For example, a 1000 share position pre-split, became a 2000 share position following the split. CHK's second split took place on December 29, 1995. This was a 3 for 2 split, meaning for each 2 shares of CHK owned pre-split, the shareholder now owned 3 shares. For example, a 2000 share position pre-split, became a 3000 share position following the split. CHK's third split took place on July 01, 1996. This was a 3 for 2 split, meaning for each 2 shares of CHK owned pre-split, the shareholder now owned 3 shares. For example, a 3000 share position pre-split, became a 4500 share position following the split. CHK's 4th split took place on January 02, 1997. This was a 2 for 1 split, meaning for each share of CHK owned pre-split, the shareholder now owned 2 shares. For example, a 4500 share position pre-split, became a 9000 share position following the split. CHK's 5th split took place on July 01, 2014. This was a 1057 for 1000 split, meaning for each 1000 shares of CHK owned pre-split, the shareholder now owned 1057 shares. For example, a 9000 share position pre-split, became a 9513 share position following the split. CHK's 6th split took place on April 15, 2020. This was a 1 for 200 reverse split, meaning for each 200 shares of CHK owned pre-split, the shareholder now owned 1 share. For example, a 9513 share position pre-split, became a 47.565 share position following the split.

When a company such as Chesapeake Energy splits its shares, the market capitalization before and after the split takes place remains stable, meaning the shareholder now owns more shares but each are valued at a lower price per share. Often, however, a lower priced stock on a per-share basis can attract a wider range of buyers. If that increased demand causes the share price to appreciate, then the total market capitalization rises post-split. This does not always happen, however, often depending on the underlying fundamentals of the business. When a company such as Chesapeake Energy conducts a reverse share split, it is usually because shares have fallen to a lower per-share pricepoint than the company would like. This can be important because, for example, certain types of mutual funds might have a limit governing which stocks they may buy, based upon per-share price. The $5 and $10 pricepoints tend to be important in this regard. Stock exchanges also tend to look at per-share price, setting a lower limit for listing eligibility. So when a company does a reverse split, it is looking mathematically at the market capitalization before and after the reverse split takes place, and concluding that if the market capitilization remains stable, the reduced share count should result in a higher price per share.
