Chesapeake's fee structure is premised on the belief that our success should be tied to that of our clients. We generally work on the basis of a monthly retainer fee, plus a performance fee based on a percentage of funds raised or the purchase price of an acquisition or divestiture. Clients are encouraged to pay a portion of our fees in equity, which serves to further align Chesapeake's interests with those of our clients. Other arrangements may be negotiated dependent upon the scope and nature of the assignment and the needs of the client.
