ITEM 8.01 Other Events.

On December 15, 2019, WPX Energy, Inc. (the “Company”), and Felix Investments Holdings II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Seller”), entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) pursuant to which Seller will sell, and the Company will purchase, one hundred percent (100%) of the issued and outstanding membership interests of Felix Energy Holdings II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Felix”), in accordance with Delaware law and upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Purchase Agreement. Pursuant to and subject to the terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement, Felix will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Acquisition”). On February 5, 2020, the Company filed a proxy statement on Schedule 14A (the “Proxy Statement”), relating to the special meeting of the stockholders of the Company to approve certain matters related to the Acquisition, which will be held on March 5, 2020.

Since the filing of the Proxy Statement, three actions, including two putative class actions, have been filed in state and federal court in Delaware and federal court in New York by purported Company stockholders in connection with the Acquisition: Hudson v. Muncrief, et al., No. 2020-0095-JRS (Del. Ch., filed February 14, 2020) (the “Hudson Action”); Post v. WPX Energy, Inc., et al., No. 20-cv-0225 (D. Del., filed February 17, 2020) (the “Post Action”); and Bushansky v. WPX Energy, Inc., et al., No. 20-cv-01426 (S.D.N.Y., filed February 19, 2020) (the “Bushansky Action”). Each of the Hudson Action, the Post Action, and the Bushansky Action names the Company and its directors as defendants. The Hudson Action alleges that the Company’s directors breached their fiduciary duties by, among other things, filing a Proxy Statement that is false and misleading and/or omits material information concerning the Acquisition. The Post Action and the Bushansky Action allege, among other things, that the Proxy Statement is false and misleading and/or omits material information concerning the Acquisition in violation of Sections 14(a) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and Rule 14a-9 promulgated under the Exchange Act. Each of the Hudson Action, the Post Action, and the Bushansky Action seeks, among other things, injunctive relief, including enjoining the Acquisition, and an award of attorneys’ fees and expenses.
