H1B visa expired without utilising it

I had an approved H1B petition which expired just 3 months back. But unfortunately I couldn’t utilise it to travel to US for jobs within the validity period. So now will I be considered as a H1B cap exempt in this case? Can I approach another employer to transfer my petition without going through the H1B lottery process again?

Yes.

Yes you should be cap-exempt so no need for going through lottery again.

Thanks Kalpesh for clarifying my doubts. I appreciate your willingness to help me provide a better understanding of this issue. Thank you once again.
