If You Leased an Oil & Gas Leasehold or Working Interest in Oklahoma or Kansas
Between December 27, 2007 and April 1, 2013,

You May Be Eligible for a Payment from a $6.95 Million Settlement.

A Settlement has been reached with Chesapeake Energy Corp., Chesapeake Exploration, L.L.C., and Tom L. Ward, and their affiliates (collectively, “Defendants”) in a class action lawsuit about fixing the prices paid to leaseholders in exchange for the right to explore for and produce minerals on the land.  The lawsuit claims that Defendants and SandRidge Energy, Inc. and SandRidge Exploration and Production, L.L.C. (“SandRidge”) unlawfully conspired to fix, raise, maintain or stabilize lease bonuses and royalties in the Mississippi Lime Play of the Anadarko Basin Region, to reduce payments to the leaseholders. 

You are included in the Settlement and are entitled to seek a payment, if you leased your property directly to Chesapeake or SandRidge or through their agents, or otherwise assigned or transferred the lease to them (“Class Member”).  Class Members who transacted with Chesapeake and Class Members who transacted with SandRidge will be entitled to payments in the same manner.  Class Members will release claims through this Settlement against Chesapeake and SandRidge. 

Your legal rights are affected even if you do nothing.
