OREANDA-NEWS. August 19, 2016. Devon Energy Corporation (NYSE: DVN) (the “Company”
or “Devon Energy”) today announced the
consideration payable in connection with its previously announced tender
offers (the “Maximum Tender Offers”) to
purchase for cash up to an aggregate principal amount of the debt
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 Maximum Tender Offers, exceeding the Aggregate Maximum Repurchase
Amount (as defined below). In addition, the Company has amended the
Maximum Tender Offers to increase the previously announced Aggregate
Maximum Repurchase Amount from approximately \\$535.4 million (which gives
effect to the Company’s purchase of certain of the 8.250% notes due
2018, issued by Devon OEI Operating, L.L.C., and the 6.300% notes due
2019, issued by the Company, for total consideration of approximately
\\$664.6 million in the Company’s previously consummated tender offers
(the “Any and All Offers”) for such notes)
to such aggregate amount necessary to pay the Total Consideration (as
defined below) for all of the 2.250% notes due 2018 (the “2018
Notes”) validly tendered and not validly withdrawn in the Maximum
Tender Offers as of the Early Tender Date (as defined below), which
Total Consideration is equal to approximately \\$652.1 million (as
amended, the “Aggregate Maximum Repurchase Amount”).
All other terms of the Maximum Tender Offers, as previously announced,
remain unchanged. The Maximum Tender Offers were made pursuant to the
terms and conditions set forth in the offer to purchase, dated August 4,
2016, and the related letter of transmittal (the “Tender
Offer Documents”).
The table below sets forth the Total Consideration for the 2018 Notes
that will be accepted for purchase.

The “Total Consideration” listed in the
table above for each \\$1,000 principal amount of the 2018 Notes was
determined at 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on August 18, 2016. Only
holders of the 2018 Notes who validly tendered and did not validly
withdraw such 2018 Notes at or prior to the previously announced early
tender date and time of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on August 17,
2016 (the “Early Tender Date”) are eligible
to receive the Total Consideration for such 2018 Notes accepted for
purchase.
The Company will accept for purchase all of the 2018 Notes that have
been validly tendered and not validly withdrawn. Since the Total
Consideration payable with respect to such 2018 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 Maximum
Tender Offers. Holders will also receive accrued and unpaid interest on
the 2018 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 2018 Notes, which date is anticipated to be
August 19, 2016.
The Maximum Tender Offers will expire at 11:59 p.m., New York City time,
on August 31, 2016, unless extended or earlier terminated. Because the
Maximum 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 2018 Notes)
tendered at or prior to the Early Tender Date, will be returned to the
holders thereof as described in the Tender Offer Documents.
Devon Energy will fund the Maximum Tender Offers with the net proceeds
from previously completed asset sales and financing transactions. The
Maximum 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 Maximum Tender Offers, as well as the Company’s
previously consummated Any and All Offers, the Company estimates that
its total cash interest expense will be reduced by approximately \\$54
million on an annualized basis.
