All other terms of the Tender Offers, as previously announced, remain unchanged. The Tender Offers were made pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in the offer to purchase, dated December 5, 2016 (the “Offer to Purchase”).

The table below sets forth the Total Consideration for the Notes with the seven highest acceptance priority levels (the “Eligible Notes”) that will be accepted for purchase.

(a)   The Total Consideration (as defined below) was calculated on the basis of pricing for the U.S. Treasury Reference Security as of 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on December 19, 2016, and includes the applicable Fixed Spread and Early Tender Payment set forth in the table above.

(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 December 19, 2016. 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 December 16, 2016 (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The Company will accept for purchase all of the Eligible Notes that have been validly tendered and not validly withdrawn.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 December 20, 2016.

The Tender Offers will expire at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on January 3, 2017, 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 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 \\$62 million on an annualized basis.
