Back in May Chesapeake Energy (NYSE: CHK) said it would spin-off its oil services unit in an effort to relieve the parent company of roughly $1B in debt.  The new unit will be identified as Seventy Seven Energy (NYSE: SSE).  This new company is not related to the Ukraine based Seven Seventy Petroleum firm which operates gasoline filling stations in the Chernihiv region.  Chesapeake's spin-off will be recapitalized and push back a $400M dividend to manage intra-company debts.  The entire move is expected to be tax-free.

After Monday's close Chesapeake distributed one share of Seven Seventy for every 14 shares of Chesapeake outstanding as of the June 19th 5:00PM EDT record time.  Any shareholder entitled to fractional shares were paid the cash-value of such shares, no fractional shares were to be issued.

As of today, Tuesday July 1st, Seventy Seven Energy opened for trading at $23.62 and is up roughly 2.25 percent currently to $24.10.
