Item 3.02

Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

On December 6, 2015, DEPCO Delaware, L.L.C. (the “Buyer”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Devon Energy Corporation (the “Company”), entered into a purchase and sale agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Felix Energy Holdings, LLC, EnCap FEx Holdings, LLC (“EF Holdings”), Felix Stack Investments, LLC (together with EF Holdings, the “Sellers”), Devon Energy Production Company, L.P., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and, solely with respect to certain sections specified therein, the Company. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Buyer agreed to acquire all of the issued and outstanding membership interests of Felix Energy Holdings, LLC, in exchange for (i) $850,000,000 in cash, as may be adjusted pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, and (ii) 23,470,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, as may be adjusted prior to the issuance thereof by customary anti-dilution provisions (the “Stock Consideration”). The transaction is expected to close in January 2016, subject to customary closing conditions.

The issuance and sale of the Stock Consideration under the Purchase Agreement is being made in reliance upon an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) thereof and the regulations promulgated thereunder. The Company will rely on this exemption from registration based in part on representations made by the Sellers.

Investors are cautioned that any such statements are not guarantees of future performance and that actual results or developments may differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements.
