Item 1.01

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On September 17, 2026,

Expand Energy Corporation (the “Company”) completed its previously announced underwritten public offering (the “Notes

Offering”) of $500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 5.650% Senior Notes due 2031 (the “Notes”).

The Notes have been registered

under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-3 (No. 333-283348),

filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and automatically effective on November 20, 2024 (the “Shelf

Registration Statement”). The terms of the Notes are further described in the Company’s prospectus supplement dated September 15,

2026, as filed with the SEC under Rule 424(b)(2) of the Act on September 17, 2026.

On September 17, 2026,

the Notes were issued pursuant to the Indenture (the “Base Indenture”), dated as of December 2, 2024, between the Company

and Regions Bank (the “Trustee”), as trustee, as supplemented by the Second Supplemental Indenture, dated as of September 17,

2026 (the “Second Supplemental Indenture” and, together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”), between the

Company and the Trustee, setting forth specific terms applicable to the Notes.

The Notes are the Company’s

senior unsecured obligations and rank equally in right to payment of the holders of the Company’s other current and future unsecured

senior debt, including debt under the Company’s revolving credit facility and the Company’s existing senior notes, and senior

in right of payment to any future subordinated debt that the Company may incur. The Notes are not guaranteed by any of the Company’s

subsidiaries and are therefore structurally subordinated to any indebtedness incurred by any of the Company’s subsidiaries.

The Company may optionally

redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, at any time prior to August 15, 2031 (the “Par Call Date”), at a redemption price

calculated in a manner set forth in the Indenture. On or after the Par Call Date, the Company may redeem the Notes, in whole or in part,

at any time and from time to time, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed plus accrued

and unpaid interest thereon to but not including the redemption date.

The Indenture contains customary

terms and covenants, including limitations on the Company’s ability and the ability of certain of its subsidiaries to incur liens

securing funded indebtedness and on the Company’s ability to consolidate or merge with or into, or convey, transfer or lease all

or substantially all of its properties and assets to, any person.

The foregoing description

of the Indenture does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Base Indenture

and the First Supplemental Indenture, which are set forth as Exhibits 4.1 and 4.2, respectively, hereto and are incorporated by reference

herein.

Item 2.03

terms and conditions of Securities of any series as permitted by the Base Indenture;

WHEREAS,

the Company has duly authorized the issue of its 5.650% Senior Notes due 2031 as a series of Securities under the Base Indenture

(as they may be issued from time to time under this Supplemental Indenture, including any Additional Notes (as defined below) issued

WHEREAS,

WHEREAS,

all things necessary have been done to make this Supplemental Indenture a valid agreement of the Company and the Trustee,

NOW, THEREFORE:

In consideration of the premises

and the purchase and acceptance of the Notes by the Holders, the Company covenants and agrees with the Trustee, for the equal and ratable

benefit of the Holders of the Notes, that the Base Indenture is supplemented and amended, to the extent expressed herein, as follows:

Article I

SCOPE OF SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE; GENERAL; THE NOTES

Section 1.1            Scope

of Supplemental Indenture; General.

This Supplemental Indenture

supplements, and to the extent inconsistent therewith, replaces, the provisions of the Base Indenture, to which provisions reference

is hereby made.

The changes, modifications

and supplements to the Base Indenture effected by this Supplemental Indenture shall be applicable only with respect to, and govern the

terms of, and shall be deemed expressly included in this Supplemental Indenture solely for the benefit of, the Notes (which shall be

initially in the aggregate principal amount of $500,000,000) and shall not apply to any other series of Securities that have been or

may be issued under the Base Indenture unless a supplemental indenture with respect to such other series of Securities specifically incorporates

such changes, modifications and supplements.

Section 1.2            Applicability

of Sections of the Base Indenture.

Except as expressly specified

hereby, each of the provisions of the Base Indenture shall apply to the Notes.

Section 1.3            Form,

Dating and Terms.

(a)            General.

The aggregate principal amount of the Notes that may be authenticated and delivered under the Indenture is unlimited. The aggregate

principal amount of the Initial Notes initially authorized for authentication and delivery pursuant to this Supplemental Indenture is

limited to $500,000,000 (except for Notes authenticated and delivered upon registration or transfer of, or in exchange for, or in lieu

of other Notes pursuant to Section 1.3(b), 1.3(c) and 8.6 of this Supplemental Indenture and Sections

2.7, 2.8, 2.11 and 3.6 of the Base Indenture). Pursuant to this Supplemental Indenture, there is hereby created and designated one series

of Securities under the Indenture entitled “5.650% Senior Notes due 2031.”

In addition, with respect

to the Notes, the Company may issue, from time to time subsequent to the Issue Date in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture,

additional Securities (such Securities, the “Additional Notes”) of the same series as the Notes.

The Initial Notes and the

Additional Notes shall be considered collectively as a single class for all purposes of the Indenture. Holders of the Initial Notes and

the Additional Notes shall vote and consent together on all matters to which such Holders are entitled to vote or consent as one series

of Securities, and none of the Holders of the Initial Notes or the Additional Notes shall have the right to vote or consent as a separate

class or series on any matter to which such Holders are entitled to vote or consent.

Initial Notes and Additional

Notes shall be initially issued in the form of one or more permanent Global Securities substantially in the form of Exhibit A (each,

a “Global Note”), duly executed by the Company and authenticated by the Trustee as provided in the Base Indenture. The aggregate

principal amount of the Global Notes may from time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments made on the records of the Trustee

and the Depositary or its nominee.

The Notes may have such letters,

numbers or other marks of identification and such notations, legends or endorsements as the officer executing the same may approve (execution

thereof to be conclusive evidence of such approval) and as are not inconsistent with the provisions of this Supplemental Indenture or

the Base Indenture or as may be required to comply with any law or with any rule or regulation made pursuant thereto or with any

rule or regulation of any securities exchange or automated quotation system on which the Notes may be listed or designated for issuance,

or to conform to usage or to indicate any special limitations or restrictions to which any particular Notes are subject.

The terms and provisions

contained in the form of Note attached as Exhibit A hereto shall constitute, and are hereby expressly made, a part of this Supplemental

Indenture, and the Company and the Trustee, by their execution and delivery of this Supplemental Indenture, expressly agree to such terms

and provisions and to be bound thereby. However, to the extent any provision of any Note conflicts with the express provisions of the

Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall govern and be controlling.

The Company shall pay principal

of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes at the office or agency designated by the Company, which is initially the corporate trust

office of the Trustee in Birmingham, Alabama. The Company shall pay principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Global Notes registered

in the name of or held by the Depositary or its nominee in immediately available funds to the Depositary or its nominee, as the case

may be, as the registered holder of such Global Note. The Company shall make all payments in respect of a Definitive Note by mailing

a check to the registered address of each Holder thereof as such address shall appear in the Registrar’s books; provided, however,

that payments on the Notes represented by Definitive Notes may also be made, by wire transfer to a U.S. dollar account maintained by

the payee with a bank in the United States if such Holder elects payment by wire transfer by giving written notice to the Trustee or

the Paying Agent in accordance with the terms of the Indenture.

(b)           Book-Entry

Provisions. Except as otherwise stated in this Section 1.3(b) and Section 1.3(c) below, Section 2.14

of the Base Indenture will apply to the Notes.

(i)             This

Section 1.3(b) shall apply only to Global Notes deposited with the Notes Custodian with respect to such Notes (as appointed

by the Depositary), or any successor Person thereto, which shall initially be the Trustee.

(ii)            Each

Global Note initially shall (x) be registered in the name of the Depositary for such Global Note or the nominee of such Depositary,

(y) be delivered to the Notes Custodian for such Depositary and (z) bear the legend set forth in Exhibit A.

(iii)           Members

of, or participants in, the Depositary (“Agent Members”) shall have no rights under the Indenture with respect to any Global

Note held on their behalf by the Depositary or by the Trustee as the custodian of the Depositary or under such Global Note, and the Depositary

may be treated by the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee as the absolute owner of such Global Note for

all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Company, the Trustee or any agent of the Company

or the Trustee from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depositary or impair, as

between the Depositary and its Agent Members, the operation of customary practices of the Depositary governing the exercise of the rights

of a Holder of a beneficial interest in any Global Note.

(iv)          The

registered Holder of a Global Note may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any Person, including Agent Members and Persons that may

hold interests through Agent Members, to take any action which a Holder is entitled to take under the Indenture or the Notes.

(v)            In

connection with the transfer of an entire Global Note to beneficial owners pursuant to Section 1.3(c) of this Supplemental

Indenture, such Global Note shall be deemed to be surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation, and the Company shall execute, and the

Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, to each beneficial owner identified by the Depositary in exchange for its beneficial interest

in such Global Note, an equal aggregate principal amount of Definitive Notes of authorized denominations.

(vi)           Any

Holder of a Global Note shall, by acceptance of such Global Note, agree that transfers of beneficial interests in such Global Note may

be effected only through a book-entry system maintained by (a) the Holder of such Global Note (or its agent) or (b) any Holder

of a beneficial interest in such Global Note, and that ownership of a beneficial interest in such Global Note shall be required to be

reflected in a book entry.

Notes. Except as provided in the Indenture, owners of beneficial interests in Global Notes shall not be entitled to receive Definitive

Notes. Definitive Notes shall be delivered to all beneficial owners in exchange for their beneficial interests in a Global Note if (i) the

Depositary notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as depositary for such Global Note or the Depositary ceases

to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act at a time when the Depositary is required to be so registered in order to act

as Depositary, and, in each case, a successor depositary is not appointed by the Company within 90 days of such notice or (ii) an

Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Registrar has received a request from the Depositary to deliver Definitive Notes

to all beneficial owners in exchange for their beneficial interests in such Global Note. Definitive Notes may not be exchanged for beneficial

interests in any Global Note unless the transferor first delivers to the Trustee a written certificate to the effect that such transfer

will comply with any appropriate transfer restrictions applicable to such Notes.

(d)            Initial

Notes. The Initial Notes may forthwith be executed by the Company and delivered, together with a Company Order, to the Trustee for

authentication and delivery by the Trustee for original issue in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.3 of the Base Indenture.

(e)            Additional

Notes. At any time and from time to time after the issuance of the Initial Notes, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver any

Additional Notes for original issue in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.3 of the Base Indenture in an aggregate principal

amount determined at the time of issuance and specified in a Company Order which shall be accompanied with the Officer’s Certificate

or supplemental indenture, as applicable, in respect thereof specified in Section 1.4 of this Supplemental Indenture. Such

Company Order shall specify the principal amount of the Additional Notes to be authenticated and the date on which the original issue

of such Additional Notes is to be authenticated.

Section 1.4            Additional

Notes.

With respect to any Additional

Notes, there shall be set forth or determined in an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Trustee or established in one or more

indentures supplemental to the Indenture, prior to the issuance of such Additional Notes:

(a)            the

aggregate principal amount of such Additional Notes to be authenticated and delivered; and

(b)            the

issue price and the issue date of such Additional Notes, including the date from which interest shall accrue and the first interest payment

date therefor.

daily by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), on the third Business Day preceding the date of the notice of redemption

relating to such redemption date based upon the yield or yields for the most recent day that appear after such time on such day in the

most recent statistical release published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System designated as “Selected Interest

Rates (Daily)—H.15” (or any successor designation or publication) (“H.15”) under the caption “U.S. government

securities—Treasury constant maturities—Nominal” (or any successor caption or heading) (“H.15 TCM”). In

determining the Treasury Rate, the Company shall select, as applicable: (1) the yield for the Treasury constant maturity on H.15

exactly equal to the period from the redemption date to the Par Call Date (the “Remaining Life”); or (2) if there is

no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the Remaining Life, the two yields—one yield corresponding to the Treasury

constant maturity on H.15 immediately shorter than and one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately

days) using such yields and rounding the result to three decimal places; or (3) if there is no such Treasury constant maturity on

H.15 shorter than or longer than the Remaining Life, the yield for the single Treasury constant maturity on H.15 closest to the Remaining

Life. For purposes of this paragraph, the applicable Treasury constant maturity or maturities on H.15 shall be deemed to have a maturity

date equal to the relevant number of months or years, as applicable, of such Treasury constant maturity from the redemption date.

If on the third Business

Day preceding the date of the notice of redemption relating to such redemption date H.15 TCM is no longer published, the Company shall

Date, one with a maturity date preceding the Par Call Date and one with a maturity date following the Par Call Date, the Company shall

select the United States Treasury security with a maturity date preceding the Par Call Date. If there are two or more United States Treasury

securities maturing on the Par Call Date or two or more United States Treasury securities meeting the criteria of the preceding sentence,

the Company shall select from among these two or more United States Treasury securities the United States Treasury security that is trading

closest to par based upon the average of the bid and asked prices for such United States Treasury securities at 11:00 a.m., New York

City time. In determining the Treasury Rate in accordance with the terms of this paragraph, the semi-annual yield to maturity of the

applicable United States Treasury security shall be based upon the average of the bid and asked prices (expressed as a percentage of

principal amount) at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, of such United States Treasury security, and rounded to three decimal places.

REDEMPTION

Section 3.1            Optional

Redemption.

(a)            Prior

to the Par Call Date, the Company may redeem the Notes at its option, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at a Redemption

Price (expressed as a percentage of principal amount and rounded to three decimal places) equal to the greater of (1) (a) the

sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the Notes to be redeemed discounted to the

Redemption Date (assuming the Notes matured on the Par Call Date) on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve

30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus 20 basis points less (b) interest accrued to the Redemption Date, and (2) 100% of

the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus, in either case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to but not including the

Redemption Date.

(b)            On

or after the Par Call Date, the Company may redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at a Redemption

Price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to but not including

the Redemption Date.

Company’s actions and determinations in determining the Redemption Price shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent

manifest error.

(d)            In

the case of a partial redemption, selection of the Notes for redemption will be made pro rata, by lot or by such other method as the

Trustee in its sole discretion deems appropriate and fair, subject to the last sentence of this Section 3.1(d). No Notes

of a principal amount of $2,000 or less will be redeemed in part. If any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption

that relates to the Note will state the portion of the principal amount of the Note to be redeemed. A new Note in a principal amount

equal to the unredeemed portion of the Note will be issued in the name of the Holder of the Note upon surrender for cancellation of the

original Note. For so long as the Notes are held by the Depositary, the redemption of the Notes shall be done in accordance with the

policies and procedures of such Depositary.

(e)            Unless

the Company defaults in payment of the Redemption Price or any conditions precedent described in the notice of redemption are not satisfied

and therefore the notice of redemption is deemed rescinded, on and after the Redemption Date interest will cease to accrue on the Notes

or portions thereof called for redemption.

Section 3.2            Sinking

Fund; Mandatory Redemption.

The Company is not required

to make mandatory redemption payments or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes. Accordingly, Article XI of the Base Indenture

shall not apply to the Notes.

Section 3.3            Redemption

Provisions.

(a)            The

first paragraph of Section 3.3 of the Base Indenture shall not apply to the Notes, and in lieu thereof, the following paragraph

shall be deemed included in the Indenture for the benefit of the Notes:

Notice of any redemption

will be mailed or electronically delivered (or otherwise transmitted in accordance with the Depositary’s Applicable Procedures)

in the manner provided in Section 10.2 of the Base Indenture at least 10 days but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date

to each Holder of Notes to be redeemed. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, notices may be sent more than 60 days prior

to a Redemption Date if the notice is issued in connection with a Covenant Defeasance or Defeasance with respect to the Notes or a satisfaction

and discharge of the Indenture with respect to the Notes.

(b)            Notice

of any redemption may, at the Company’s discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent. If the conditions precedent

are satisfied, the Company shall provide written notice to the Trustee of the satisfaction of such conditions as soon as practicable

following occurrence of the conditions.

as otherwise stated in this Article III or to the extent inconsistent with this Article III, Article III

of the Base Indenture shall apply to the Notes.

Article IV

COVENANTS

Section 4.2 of the Base

Indenture shall not apply to the Notes, and the covenants in Section 4.2 of the Base Indenture shall be deemed included in the Indenture

In addition, the following

covenants in this Article IV shall apply to the Notes and shall be deemed included in the Indenture solely for the benefit

Section 4.1            Limitation

The Company will not, and

will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, create, Incur or assume, any Lien securing Funded Debt (other than Permitted

Liens) upon any Principal Property, whether owned on the Issue Date or acquired after that date, unless the Indebtedness due under the

Indenture and the Notes is secured equally and ratably with (or senior in priority to in the case of Liens with respect to Funded Debt

that is expressly subordinated to the Notes) the Funded Debt secured by such Lien for so long as such Funded Debt is so secured.

Notwithstanding the preceding

paragraph, the Company may, and may permit any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company to, create, Incur or assume, any Lien securing

Funded Debt upon any Principal Property without securing the Indebtedness due under the Indenture and the Notes if the aggregate principal

amount of such Funded Debt secured by such Lien upon such Principal Property, together with the aggregate outstanding principal amount

of all other Funded Debt of the Company and of any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company secured by any Liens (other than Permitted Liens)

upon Principal Property, does not at the time such Funded Debt is created, Incurred or assumed (or, if later, at the time such Lien

is created, Incurred or assumed) exceed the greater of (i) 15% of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets at such time and (ii) $3.0

billion.

Section 4.2            Reports.

and the information, documents and other reports (or copies of such portions of any of the foregoing as the SEC may by rules and

regulations prescribe) that the Company is required to file with the SEC pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act.

If the Company is not subject to the requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act and (ii) other information,

documents, or reports as may be required pursuant to the Trust Indenture Act at the times and in the manner provided in the Trust Indenture

Act. For purposes of this Section 4.2, the Company will be deemed to have furnished such reports and information to, or filed

such reports and information with, the Trustee and the Holders of Notes and prospective purchasers as required by this Section 4.2

if it has filed such reports or information with the SEC via the EDGAR filing system (or any successor filing system) or otherwise made

such reports or information publicly available on a freely accessible page on the Company’s website. The Trustee shall have

no obligation whatsoever to determine whether or not such reports and information have been filed or have been posted on such website.

(b)            The

Company also shall furnish to the Trustee, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Company, a brief certificate from

the principal executive officer, principal financial officer or principal accounting officer as to his or her knowledge of the Company’s

compliance with all covenants under the Indenture.

Company will deliver to the Trustee, within 30 days after the occurrence thereof, written notice of any events that would constitute

an Event of Default, unless such Event of Default has been cured or waived before the end of such 30-day period, their status and what

action the Company is taking or proposing to take in respect thereof.

(d)            Delivery

of any reports, information and documents to the Trustee pursuant to paragraphs (a) and (b) above is for informational

purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of such shall not constitute notice, constructive or otherwise, of any information contained

therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the compliance by the Company with any of the Company’s covenants

(as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officer’s Certificates).

Section 4.3            Unrestricted

Subsidiaries.

(a)            The

Board of Directors of the Company may after the Issue Date designate any Subsidiary as an “Unrestricted Subsidiary” if: (1) no

Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of or after giving effect to such designation; and (2) such

Subsidiary has no Indebtedness other than Non-Recourse Debt.

(b)            The

Board of Directors of the Company may at any time, subject to the following sentence, designate any Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a Restricted

Subsidiary of the Company. Any such designation will be deemed to be an incurrence of Funded Debt and Liens by a Restricted Subsidiary

of the Company of any outstanding Funded Debt and Liens, respectively, of such Unrestricted Subsidiary, and such designation will only

be permitted if no Default or Event of Default would be in existence following such designation.

must specify the Event of Default and state that such notice is a “Notice of Acceleration.” Upon such a declaration, such

principal, premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest will be due and payable immediately.

In the event of a declaration

of acceleration of the Notes because an Event of Default described in Section 6.1(a)(5) has occurred and is continuing,

the declaration of acceleration of the Notes shall be automatically annulled if (x) such Indebtedness or guarantee is discharged

in full (other than customary surviving contingent obligations) or (y) the Default triggering such Event of Default pursuant to

Section 6.1(a)(5) shall be remedied or cured by the Company or waived by the Holders of the relevant Indebtedness within

60 days after the written notice of declaration of acceleration of the Notes with respect thereto is received by the Company and if the

annulment of the acceleration of the Notes would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction.

If an Event of Default pursuant

to Section 6.1(a)(6) or (7) occurs, the principal, premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest on all

the Notes will become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holders.

At any time after a declaration

of acceleration, but before a judgment or decree for the payment of the money due has been obtained by the Trustee, the Holders of a

majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes may by notice to the Trustee and the Company (including, without limitation, waivers

and consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, Notes) waive all current defaults (except

with respect to nonpayment of principal, premium, if any, or interest) and rescind any such acceleration with respect to the Notes and

its consequences if rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction.

Article VII

SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE; DEFEASANCE

In the case of a Covenant

Defeasance as provided in the Base Indenture, (i) the Company will be released from its obligations to comply with Sections 4.1

and 4.2 of this Supplemental Indenture (for the benefit of Holders of Notes) and Section 5.1 of the Base Indenture (other

than Section 5.1(a)) and (ii) the events described in Section 6.1(a), clauses (3), (4) and (5) of this

Supplemental Indenture shall no longer constitute Events of Default with respect to Notes.

any amendment or waiver in respect of any series of Securities other than the Notes.

Section 8.1            Without

Consent of Holders.

Notwithstanding Section 8.2

and Section 8.3, without the consent of any Holder of Notes, the Company and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Supplemental

Indenture, the Base Indenture as it relates to the Notes and the Notes to:

(1)            cure

any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency;

(2)            provide

for the assumption by a successor entity of the obligations of the Company under this Supplemental Indenture, the Base Indenture or the

Notes;

(3)            provide

for or facilitate the issuance of uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated Notes (provided that the uncertificated

Notes are issued in registered form for purposes of Section 163(f) of the Code);

(4)            add

Guarantees with respect to the Notes, evidence the release of a Guarantor from its Guarantee or provide for the assumption by a successor

entity of the obligations of a Guarantor in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Indenture;

(5)            secure

the Notes;

(6)            add

covenants of the Company or other obligor under the Indenture or the Notes, as the case may be, or Events of Default for the benefit

of the Holders of the Notes or to make other changes that would provide additional rights to the Holders of the Notes or to surrender

any right or power conferred upon the Company or other such obligor;

(7)            make

any change that does not adversely affect the legal or contractual rights of any Holder under the Indenture or the Notes;

(8)            evidence

and provide for the acceptance of an appointment under the Indenture of a successor trustee; provided that the successor trustee is otherwise

qualified and eligible to act as such under the terms of the Indenture;

(9)            provide

for the issuance of Additional Notes permitted to be issued under the Indenture;

(10)          comply

with the rules of any applicable securities depositary; or

(11)          conform

the text of this Supplemental Indenture, the Base Indenture or the Notes to any provision of the section of the Company’s Prospectus

Supplement dated September 15, 2026 entitled “Description of the Notes” or the “Description of Debt Securities”

set forth in the accompanying base prospectus to the extent that such provision in the “Description of the Notes” or the

“Description of Debt Securities” was intended to be a complete description or summary of a provision of the Indenture or

the Notes as evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate.

After an amendment, supplement

or waiver under the Indenture becomes effective, the Company is required to send to the Holders a notice briefly describing such amendment,

supplement or waiver. However, the failure to give such notice to all the Holders, or any defect in the notice, will not impair or affect

the validity of any amendment, supplement or waiver.

Section 8.3            With

Consent of Holders.

Except as set forth in Section 8.1

and Section 8.3, the Company and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Supplemental Indenture, the Base Indenture (as

it relates to the Notes) and the Notes with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes then Outstanding

(including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, Notes) and

any past default or compliance with any provisions of this Supplemental Indenture, the Base Indenture (as it relates to the Notes) and

the Notes may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes then Outstanding (including, without

limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, Notes).

The consent of the Holders

is not necessary under the Indenture to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, supplement or waiver. It is sufficient

if such consent approves the substance of the proposed amendment, supplement or waiver. A consent to any amendment, supplement or waiver

under the Indenture by any Holder of Notes given in connection with a tender of such Holder’s Notes will not be rendered invalid

by such tender.

Section 8.4            Limitations.

Notwithstanding Section 8.2,

without the consent of each Holder of an Outstanding Note affected, no amendment, supplement or waiver may (with respect to any Notes

held by a non-consenting Holder):

(1)            reduce

the principal amount of Notes whose Holders must consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver;

(2)            reduce

the stated rate of interest or extend the stated time for payment of interest on any Note;

(3)            reduce

the principal of or extend the Stated Maturity of any Note;

(4)            waive

a Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes (except a rescission of acceleration

of the Notes by Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes with respect to a nonpayment default

and a waiver of the payment default that resulted from such acceleration);

(5)            reduce

the premium payable upon the redemption of any Note or change the time at which any Note may be redeemed as described under Article III,

whether through an amendment or waiver of Article III, related definitions or otherwise;

(6)            make

any Note payable in money other than that stated in the Note;

(7)            impair

the right of any Holder to receive payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest on such Holder’s Notes on or after the due

dates therefor or to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on or with respect to such Holder’s Notes; or

(8)            make

any change in the amendment or waiver provisions that require each Holder’s consent.

Section 8.5            Compliance

with Trust Indenture Act.

Every amendment to this Supplemental

Indenture, the Base Indenture (as it relates to the Notes) or the Notes shall be set forth in a supplemental indenture hereto that complies

with the Trust Indenture Act as then in effect. The Trustee shall have no responsibility or liability for whether this Supplemental Indenture,

the Base Indenture, the Notes, or any amendment to any of them complies with the Trust Indenture Act or the Company’s compliance

with the Trust Indenture Act.

Section 8.6            Revocation

and Effect of Consents.

Until an amendment, supplement

or waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder of Notes is a continuing consent by the Holder and every subsequent Holder of

the Notes or portion of such Notes that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Note or Notes, even if notation of the

consent is not made on any such Note. However, any such Holder or subsequent Holder may revoke the consent as to its Notes or portion

of such Notes if the Trustee receives the notice of revocation before the date the amendment or waiver becomes effective.

Any amendment or waiver in

respect of the Notes once effective shall bind every Holder of Notes affected by such amendment or waiver unless it is of the type described

in any of the clauses of Section 8.3. In that case, the amendment or waiver shall bind each Holder of a Note who has consented

to it and every subsequent Holder of a Note or portion of a Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Note.

The Company may, but shall

not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders entitled to give their consent or take any other action

described above or required or permitted to be taken pursuant to this Supplemental Indenture in respect of the Notes or the Base Indenture

(as it relates to the Notes). If a record date is fixed, then notwithstanding the immediately preceding paragraph, those Persons who

were Holders of Notes at such record date (or their duly designated proxies), and only those Persons, shall be entitled to give such

consent or to revoke any consent previously given or to take any such action, whether or not such Persons continue to be Holders of Notes

after such record date.

Section 8.7            Notation

on or Exchange of Notes.

The Trustee may place an

appropriate notation about an amendment or waiver on the Notes. The Company in exchange for the Notes may issue and the Trustee shall

authenticate upon written request new Notes that reflect the amendment or waiver.

Section 8.8            Effect

of Supplemental Indenture.

Upon the execution of any

supplemental indenture under this Article VIII, the Indenture (including this Supplemental Indenture) shall be modified in

accordance therewith, and such supplemental indenture shall form a part of the Indenture for all purposes; and, subject to Section 8.3,

every Holder of Notes theretofore or thereafter authenticated and delivered hereunder shall be bound thereby.

and the Trustee, as supplemented by the Second Supplemental Indenture dated as of September 17, 2026 (the “Supplemental Indenture”

and, together with the Base Indenture and any one or more additional supplemental indentures thereto applicable to the Notes, herein

called the “Indenture”) by and between the Company and the Trustee. The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture

and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act. Capitalized terms used herein and not defined herein have

the meanings ascribed thereto in the Indenture. The Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and

the Trust Indenture Act for a statement of those terms. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms of this Note and the terms

of the Indenture, the terms of the Indenture shall control.

The aggregate principal amount

of Notes that may be authenticated and delivered under the Indenture is unlimited. This Note is one of the 5.650% Senior Notes due 2031

referred to in the Indenture. The Notes include (i) $500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 5.650% Senior

issued from time to time, under the Indenture, subsequent to September 17, 2026 (the “Additional Notes” and, together

series of Securities for all purposes of the Indenture.

Redemption

(a)            Prior

to August 15, 2031 (the “Par Call Date”), the Company may redeem the Notes at its option, in whole or in part, at any

time and from time to time, at a Redemption Price (expressed as a percentage of principal amount and rounded to three decimal places)

equal to the greater of (1) (a) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest

on the Notes to be redeemed discounted to the Redemption Date (assuming the Notes matured on the Par Call Date) on a semi-annual basis

(assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus 20 basis points less (b) interest accrued

to the Redemption Date, and (2) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus, in either case, accrued and unpaid

interest thereon to but not including the Redemption Date.

(b)            On

or after the Par Call Date, the Company may redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at a Redemption

the Redemption Date.

Denominations; Transfer; Exchange

The Notes are in registered

form without coupons in denominations of principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. A Holder may

transfer or exchange Notes in accordance with the Indenture. The Registrar and the Trustee may require a Holder, among other things,

to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents. No service charge will be imposed by the Company, the Trustee or the Registrar

for any registration of transfer or exchange of the Notes, but the Company may require a Holder to pay a sum sufficient to cover any

transfer tax or other governmental taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Company is not required to transfer

or exchange any Note selected for redemption or any Note for a period of 15 days before a selection of the Notes to be redeemed.

7. Persons Deemed Owners

The registered Holder of

this Note shall be treated as the owner of it for all purposes.

Unclaimed Money

Subject to applicable unclaimed

property laws, if money for the payment of the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest remains unclaimed for two years, the Trustee

or Paying Agent shall pay the money back to the Company at its written request unless an abandoned property law designates another Person.

After any such payment, Holders entitled to the money must look only to the Company and not to the Trustee or the Paying Agent for payment.

Defeasance

Subject to certain conditions

set forth in the Indenture, the Company at any time may terminate some or all of its obligations under the Notes and the Indenture if

Re:

Expand Energy Corporation

5.650% Senior Notes due 2031

Ladies and Gentlemen:

have acted as special legal counsel to Expand Energy Corporation, an Oklahoma corporation (the “Company”), in connection

with the issuance and sale of $500,000,000 in aggregate

principal amount of the Company’s 5.650% Senior

Notes due 2031 (the “Notes”), which were sold pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, dated September 15,

2026 (the “Underwriting Agreement”), among the Company and Citigroup Global Markets,

LLC and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, as representatives of the several underwriters named in Schedule 1 thereto.

The

Notes have been offered for sale pursuant to a prospectus supplement, dated September 15, 2026,

filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) pursuant to Rule 424(b) on September 15,

2026, to the prospectus, dated November 20, 2024 (as

amended and supplemented by the prospectus supplement, the “Prospectus”), that constitutes a part of the Company’s

Registration Statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-283348), filed with the Commission on November 20, 2024

(the “Registration Statement”), which Registration Statement became effective

upon filing with the Commission pursuant to Rule 462(e) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities

Act”).

The

Notes have been issued pursuant to an Indenture, dated as of December 2, 2024 (the “Base Indenture”), between

the Company and Regions Bank, as trustee (the “Trustee”), as supplemented by a Second Supplemental Indenture, dated

as of September 17, 2026 (together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”),

between the Company and the Trustee.

In rendering

this opinion letter, we have reviewed originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of the Company’s

corporate records, the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, the Indenture and such other certificates, instruments and documents as

we considered appropriate for purposes of the opinion hereafter expressed. In addition, we reviewed such questions of law as we considered

appropriate.

As to any

facts material to the opinion contained herein, we have made no independent investigation of such facts and have relied, to the extent

that we deem such reliance proper, upon certificates of public officials and officers or other representatives of the Company.

September 17, 2026

In connection

with rendering the opinion set forth below, we have assumed that (i) all information contained in all documents we reviewed is true,

correct and complete, (ii) all signatures on all documents we reviewed are genuine, (iii) all documents submitted to us as originals

are true and complete, (iv) all documents submitted to us as copies are true and complete copies of the originals thereof, (v) all

persons executing and delivering the documents we examined were competent to execute and deliver such documents, (vi) all Notes will

be issued and sold in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws and in the manner stated in the Prospectus and the

Registration Statement, (vii) the Underwriting Agreement has been duly authorized and validly executed and delivered by the parties

thereto, (viii) the Indenture was duly authorized, executed, and delivered by the parties thereto, and (ix) the Trustee is qualified

to act as trustee under the Indenture.

Based upon

such examination and review and the assumptions, qualifications, limitations and exceptions set forth herein, we are of the opinion that

the Notes, when authenticated by the Trustee in the manner provided in the Indenture and issued and delivered against payment of the purchase

price therefor, will be binding obligations of the Company.

The foregoing

opinion is qualified to the extent that the enforceability of any document, instrument or security may be limited by or subject to (i) bankruptcy,

insolvency, fraudulent transfer or conveyance, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws relating to or affecting creditors’

rights generally; (ii) an implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing; and (iii) general equitable or public policy principles.

In addition, we express no opinion with respect to (x) the enforceability of provisions in the Indenture or any other agreement or

instrument with respect to delay or omission of enforcement of rights or remedies, or waivers of defenses, or waivers of benefits of stay,

extension, moratorium, redemption, statutes of limitation, or other nonwaivable benefits bestowed by operation of law; or (y) the

enforceability of indemnification or contribution provisions to the extent they purport to relate to liabilities resulting from or based

upon negligence or any violation of federal or state securities or blue sky laws.

This

opinion letter is limited in all respects to the laws of the State of New York and the federal laws of the United States of America,

and we do not express any opinion as to the laws of any other jurisdiction. Insofar as the opinion expressed herein relates to or is

dependent upon matters governed by the laws of the State of Oklahoma, we have relied upon the opinion letter, dated the date hereof,

of McAfee & Taft A Professional Corporation, which opinion letter is being filed as Exhibit 5.2 to the

Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K to be filed on the date hereof.

This opinion

letter speaks as of the time of its delivery on the date it bears. We do not assume any obligation to provide you with any subsequent

opinion or advice by reason of any fact about which we did not have knowledge at that time, by reason of any change subsequent to that

time in any law covered by our opinion or for any other reason.

We consent

to the filing of this opinion letter as an exhibit to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K to be filed on the date hereof.

In giving this consent, we do not admit that we are in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities

Act or the rules and regulations of the Commission.

Sincerely,

/s/ Kirkland & Ellis LLP

Re: Registration Statement No. 333-283348; $500,000,000 Aggregate

Principal Amount of 5.650% Senior Notes Due 2031

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as Oklahoma

counsel to Expand Energy Corporation, an Oklahoma corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the Company’s

offering, pursuant to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-3, File No. 333-283348 (the “Registration

Statement”), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under the Securities

Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), of $500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 5.650% Senior

Notes due 2031 (the “Notes”), to be issued under an Indenture, dated December 2, 2024, between the Company

and Regions Bank, as trustee (the “Trustee”), as supplemented by the Second Supplemental Indenture dated as

of September 17, 2026 (such Indenture, as so supplemented, the “Indenture”), and pursuant to the Prospectus

Supplement, dated September 15, 2026, to the Prospectus of the Company dated November 20, 2024 (together, the “Prospectus”).

This opinion is being furnished

in connection with the requirements of Item 601(b)(5) of Regulation S-K under the Act, and no opinion is expressed herein as to any

matter pertaining to the contents of the Registration Statement or Prospectus, other than as expressly stated herein with respect to the

issuance of the Notes.

In connection with the opinions

expressed below, we have examined (i) the certificate of incorporation of the Company, (ii) the Registration Statement, (iii) the

Prospectus, (iv) the Indenture, (v) a global security dated the date hereof evidencing $500,000,000 aggregate principal amount

of Notes, and (vi) certain resolutions of the Board of Directors of the Company, and the Pricing Committee of the Board of Directors

of the Company relating to the transactions contemplated by the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, the Indenture, and related matters.

In addition, we have examined

and relied upon such other documents, certificates, records, and other instruments as we have deemed necessary or appropriate for purposes

of the opinions expressed below. In all such examinations and in rendering our opinions, we have assumed (i) the legal capacity of

all natural persons, (ii) the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, (iii) the

conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as conformed, certified, photostatic or reproduced copies and the authenticity

of the originals of such latter documents. As to any facts material to the opinions expressed herein that we have not independently established

or verified, we have relied upon oral or written statements and representations of officers and other representatives of the Company,

public officials, and others.

Based upon the foregoing and

the other matters set forth herein, we are of the opinion that the Company (a) is validly existing as a corporation under the laws

of the State of Oklahoma, (b) is in good standing under such laws, and (c) has the corporate power and authority under such

laws and has taken all necessary corporate action under such laws to issue the Notes and to execute and deliver, and incur and perform

all of its obligations under, the Notes and the Indenture.

This opinion is for your benefit

in connection with the Registration Statement and may be relied upon by you and by persons entitled to rely upon it pursuant to the applicable

provisions of the Securities Act. We consent to your filing this opinion as an exhibit to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K

dated September 17, 2026 and to the reference to our firm contained in the Prospectus under the heading “Legal Matters.”

In giving this consent, we do not thereby admit that we are within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7

of the Securities Act or the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder.

Very

truly yours,

/s/

McAfee & Taft A Professional Corporation
