Shares of Chesapeake Energy Corp. bounced briefly Thursday after the oil and natural gas company’s top executives bought a total of 125,000 shares on the dip below $1 a share.
In a Form 4 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission late Wednesday, the company disclosed that Chief Executive Doug Lawler paid $45,740 to buy 50,000 Chesapeake shares at an average price of 91.48 cents.
