Chesapeake's McClendon to get $11.7 mln in cash compensation Jan 31st 2013, 11:45 Thu Jan 31, 2013 6:45am EST Jan 31 (Reuters) - Chesapeake Energy Corp, the second-largest natural gas producer in the United States, said outgoing Chief Executive Aubrey McClendon would receive about $11.7 million in cash compensation over four years. The company also said McClendon's departure would be treated as a termination without cause. The compensation is based on an annual base salary of $975,000 and a bonus compensation of $1.95 million, the company said in a filing with securities regulators. Chesapeake said on Tuesday McClendon will step down on April 1, after a tumultuous year in which a series of Reuters investigations triggered civil and criminal probes of the company. McClendon is entitled to total compensation of about $47 million, including restricted stock awards already given to him that have a value of $33.5 million, Reuters reported on Tuesday, citing a person familiar with the compensation package.
