Item 8.01. Other Events

Tender Offers

On March 21, 2018, Devon Energy Corporation (the “ Company ”) announced the early tender results, upsizing and pricing of its previously announced tender offers to purchase for cash up to an aggregate principal amount of the 7.875% debentures due 2031 (the “ 2031 Notes ”), the 7.950% debentures due 2032 (the “ 2032 Notes ”), the 5.850% notes due 2025, the 5.600% notes due 2041 and the 3.250% notes due 2022 (collectively, the “ Notes ”) issued by the Company or Devon Financing Company, L.L.C., that would not result in the aggregate purchase price for the Notes, excluding accrued and unpaid interest, exceeding the aggregate maximum repurchase amount. The Company amended its tender offers to increase the previously announced aggregate maximum repurchase amount from $1.0 billion to such aggregate amount necessary to pay the total consideration for all of the 2031 Notes and the 2032 Notes (collectively, the “ Eligible Notes ”) validly tendered and not validly withdrawn in the tender offers as of the Early Tender Date (as defined below), which total consideration is equal to approximately $1.1 billion. The tender offers were made pursuant to an offer to purchase and consent solicitation statement dated March 7, 2018, which sets forth the terms and conditions of the tender offers and the Company’s previously announced solicitations of consents to the adoption of certain proposed amendments to the indentures governing the Notes.

In order to receive additional consideration for tendering early, holders of the Eligible Notes must have validly tendered and not validly withdrawn their Eligible Notes at or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on March 20, 2018 (the “ Early Tender Date ”). Since the total consideration payable with respect to all of the Eligible Notes will equal the aggregate maximum repurchase amount, none of the tendered Notes from any other series will be accepted for purchase pursuant to the tender offers.

At the Early Tender Date, $807,148,000 million aggregate principal amount of the Eligible Notes were tendered (and the related consents delivered) and accepted for payment by the Company.

The tender offers and consent solicitations will expire at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on April 3, 2018, unless extended or earlier terminated. Because the tender offers have been fully subscribed as of the Early Tender Date, holders who tender Notes after the Early Tender Date will not have any of their Notes accepted for purchase and no additional consents will be accepted in the consent solicitations. Any Notes tendered after the Early Tender Date, together with all of the Notes (other than the Eligible Notes) tendered at or prior to the Early Tender Date, will be returned to the holders thereof as described in the tender offer documents.


Consent Solicitations

On March 21, 2018, the Company also announced that it had received the requisite consents in connection with the consent solicitations described above to enter into certain proposed amendments to the indenture governing the 2032 Notes. On March 22, 2018, the Company entered into the Fourth Supplemental Indenture (the “ Supplemental Indenture ”), among the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., to the indenture governing the 2032 Notes.

The Supplemental Indenture became effective on March 22, 2018. With respect to the 2032 Notes, the Supplemental Indenture (i) alters the notice requirement for optional redemptions, (ii) eliminates substantially all of the restrictive covenants, several affirmative covenants and certain events of default, (iii) modifies the covenant regarding mergers, consolidations and sales of assets and (iv) eliminates or modifies certain other provisions. A copy of the Supplemental Indenture is attached hereto as Exhibit 4.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

Furnished as Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2 and incorporated herein by reference are copies of the press releases announcing the early tender results, results of consent solicitations and upsizing and pricing, respectively, of the tender offers.

Devon Energy Announces Early Tender Results, Results of Consent Solicitations and Upsizing of Tender Offers

3/21/2018

OKLAHOMA CITY—(BUSINESS WIRE)— Devon Energy Corporation (NYSE: DVN) (the “ Company ” or “ Devon Energy ”) today announced the early tender results for its previously announced tender offers (the “ Tender Offers ”) to purchase for cash up to an aggregate principal amount of the securities listed in the table below (collectively, the “ Notes ”) that would not result in the aggregate amount that all holders of the Notes are entitled to receive, excluding accrued and unpaid interest, for their Notes that are validly tendered and accepted for purchase in the Tender Offers, exceeding the Aggregate Maximum Repurchase Amount (as defined below). In addition, the Company has amended the Tender Offers to increase the previously announced Aggregate Maximum Repurchase Amount from $1.0 billion to such aggregate amount necessary to pay the Total Consideration (as defined below) for all of the Eligible Notes (as defined below) validly tendered and not validly withdrawn in the Tender Offers as of the Early Tender Date (as defined below) (as amended, the “ Aggregate Maximum Repurchase Amount ”). All other terms of the Tender Offers and Devon Energy’s solicitations of consents (the “ Consent Solicitations ”) to the adoption of certain proposed amendments to the indentures governing the Notes, as previously announced, remain unchanged. The Tender Offers and Consent Solicitations were made pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in the offer to purchase and consent solicitation statement, dated March 7, 2018 (the “ Offer to Purchase ”).

As of the previously announced early tender date and time of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on March 20, 2018 (the “ Early Tender Date ”), according to information provided by D.F. King & Co., Inc., the tender and information agent for the Tender Offers, a total of $807,148,000 aggregate principal amount of Notes with the two highest acceptance priority levels (the “ Eligible Notes ”) had been validly tendered (and the related consents delivered) and not validly withdrawn in the Tender Offers. Since the Total Consideration payable with respect to all of the Eligible Notes will equal the Aggregate Maximum Repurchase Amount, none of the tendered Notes from any other series will be accepted for purchase pursuant to the Tender Offers. Withdrawal rights for the Notes (and revocation rights for the related consents) expired at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on March 20, 2018. The table below sets forth the aggregate principal amount and percentage of the Eligible Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn by the Early Tender Date that will be accepted for purchase by the Company.

(a) The Total Consideration for Eligible Notes validly tendered prior to or at the Early Tender Date and accepted for purchase will be calculated on the basis of pricing for the U.S. Treasury Reference Security as of 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on March 21, 2018, and includes the applicable Fixed Spread and Early Tender Payment set forth in the table above.
(b) Per $1,000 principal amount.
(c) Issuer: Devon Financing Company, L.L.C.
(d) Issuer: Devon Energy Corporation.
(e) The 3.250% notes due 2022 are subject to a series tender cap of $250,000,000.
(f) Notes from such series will not be accepted for purchase by the Company.

The “ Total Consideration ” for the Eligible Notes validly tendered and accepted for purchase pursuant to the Tender Offers will be determined in the manner described in the Offer to Purchase at 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on March 21, 2018. Holders of the Eligible Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn at or prior to the Early Tender Date are eligible to receive the Total Consideration for any such Eligible Notes accepted for purchase. Holders will also receive accrued and unpaid interest on the Eligible Notes validly tendered and accepted for purchase from the applicable last interest payment date up to, but not including, the date the Company makes payment for such Eligible Notes, which date is anticipated to be March 22, 2018.

The Tender Offers and Consent Solicitations for each series of Notes will expire at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on April 3, 2018, unless extended or earlier terminated. Because the Tender Offers have been fully subscribed as of the Early Tender Date, holders who tender Notes after the Early Tender Date will not have any of their Notes accepted for purchase and no additional consents will be accepted in the Consent Solicitations. Any Notes tendered after the Early Tender Date, together with all Notes (other than the Eligible Notes) tendered at or prior to the Early Tender Date, will be returned to the holders thereof as described in the Offer to Purchase.

Devon Energy will fund the Tender Offers with available cash, including cash generated from operations and the net proceeds from previously completed asset sales and financing transactions. The Tender Offers are being made to reduce the Company’s outstanding debt, including the debt of its subsidiaries.

Devon Energy today also announced that it had received the requisite consents in connection with the Consent Solicitations to adopt certain proposed amendments to the indenture governing its 7.950% debentures due 2032 to, among other things, eliminate substantially all of the restrictive covenants, certain affirmative covenants and events of default and other related provisions. The supplemental indenture implementing the proposed amendments with respect to such Notes will become effective on March 22, 2018.

(e) The 3.250% notes due 2022 are subject to a series tender cap of $250,000,000.
(f) Notes from such series will not be accepted for purchase by the Company.

The “ Total Consideration ” listed in the table above for each $1,000 principal amount of the Eligible Notes was determined at 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on March 21, 2018. Only holders of the Eligible Notes who validly tendered and did not validly withdraw such Eligible Notes at or prior to the previously announced early tender date and time of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on March 20, 2018 (the “ Early Tender Date ”) are eligible to receive the Total Consideration for such Eligible Notes accepted for purchase.

The Company will accept for purchase all of the Eligible Notes that have been validly tendered and not validly withdrawn. Since the Total Consideration payable with respect to such Eligible Notes will equal the Aggregate Maximum Repurchase Amount, none of the tendered Notes from any other series will be accepted for purchase pursuant to the Tender Offers. Holders will also receive accrued and unpaid interest on the Eligible Notes validly tendered and accepted for purchase from the last interest payment date up to, but not including, the date the Company makes payment for such Eligible Notes, which date is anticipated to be March 22, 2018.

The Tender Offers will expire at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on April 3, 2018, unless extended or earlier terminated. Because the Tender Offers have been fully subscribed as of the Early Tender Date, holders who tender Notes after the Early Tender Date will not have any of their Notes accepted for purchase. Any Notes tendered after the Early Tender Date, together with all Notes (other than the Eligible Notes) tendered at or prior to the Early Tender Date, will be returned to the holders thereof as described in the Offer to Purchase.

Devon Energy will fund the Tender Offers with available cash, including cash generated from operations and the net proceeds from previously completed asset sales and financing transactions. The Tender Offers are being made to reduce the Company’s outstanding debt, including the debt of its subsidiaries. After giving effect to the purchase by the Company of the Notes validly tendered and accepted for purchase in the Tender Offers, the Company estimates that its total cash interest expense will be reduced by approximately $64 million on an annualized basis.
