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

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defined below) validly tendered and not validly withdrawn in the Tender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delivered) and not validly withdrawn in the Tender Offers.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.
