Gas Glut 

The success of the drilling methods led to a glut of North American gas that drove prices to a 10-year low in early 2012, causing Chesapeake to cut jobs, pledge to curtail capital spending and sell more than $10 billion in oilfields and pipelines to help close a gap between cash flow and drilling expenses. The company lost $1.07 billion during the first three quarters of last year and net debt ballooned by 56 percent during that period to $16.1 billion. 

The shareholders who pushed for McClendon’s ouster -- Carl Icahn, the billionaire activist investor, and O. Mason Hawkins of Southeastern Asset Management Inc. -- concluded that McClendon’s continued leadership was weighing on the stock, said the person, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the board’s discussions are private. 

Icahn and Hawkins didn’t immediately respond to messages left at their offices after normal business hours. 

Icahn and Southeastern together control more than 22 percent of Chesapeake stock, according to data compiled by Bloomberg, compared with McClendon’s stake of less than 1 percent. The shareholders last year appointed four new directors to the nine-member panel.
