INFORMATION REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This report includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the federal securities laws. Such statements include those concerning strategic plans, our expectations and objectives for future operations, as well as other future events or conditions, and are often identified by use of the words and phrases “expects,” “believes,” “will,” “would,” “could,” “continue,” “may,” “aims,” “likely to be,” “intends,” “forecasts,” “projections,” “estimates,” “plans,” “expectations,” “targets,” “opportunities,” “potential,” “anticipates,” “outlook” and other similar terminology. All statements, other than statements of historical facts, included in this report that address activities, events or developments that Devon expects, believes or anticipates will or may occur in the future are forward-looking statements. Such statements are subject to a number of assumptions, risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control. Consequently, actual future results could differ materially and adversely from our expectations due to a number of factors, including, but not limited to:

•
the volatility of oil, gas and NGL prices, including from changes in trade relations and policies, such as the imposition of tariffs by the U.S., China or other countries;
•
uncertainties inherent in estimating oil, gas and NGL reserves;
•
the extent to which we are successful in acquiring and discovering additional reserves;
•
the uncertainties, costs and risks involved in our operations;
•
risks related to our hedging activities;
•
our limited control over third parties who operate some of our oil and gas properties and investments;
•
midstream capacity constraints and potential interruptions in production, including from limits to the build out of midstream infrastructure;
•
competition for assets, materials, people and capital, which can be exacerbated by supply chain disruptions, including as a result of tariffs or other changes in trade policy;
•
regulatory restrictions, compliance costs and other risks relating to governmental regulation, including with respect to federal lands, environmental matters and water disposal;
•
climate change and risks related to regulatory, social and market efforts to address climate change;
•
risks relating to our ESG initiatives;
•
claims, audits and other proceedings impacting our business, including with respect to historic and legacy operations;
•
governmental interventions in energy markets;
•
counterparty credit risks;
•
risks relating to our indebtedness;
•
cybersecurity risks;
•
the extent to which insurance covers any losses we may experience;
•
risks related to shareholder activism;
•
our ability to successfully complete mergers, acquisitions and divestitures;
•
our ability to pay dividends and make share repurchases; and
•
any of the other risks and uncertainties discussed in this report, our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K and our other filings with the SEC.

The forward-looking statements included in this filing speak only as of the date of this report, represent management’s current reasonable expectations as of the date of this filing and are subject to the risks and uncertainties identified above as well as those described elsewhere in this report and in other documents we file from time to time with the SEC. We cannot guarantee the accuracy of our forward-looking statements, and readers are urged to carefully review and consider the various disclosures made in this report and in other documents we file from time to time with the SEC. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to Devon, or persons acting on its behalf, are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements above. We do not undertake, and expressly disclaim, any duty to update or revise our forward-looking statements based on new information, future events or otherwise.

DEVON ENERGY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

1.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements and notes of Devon have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Pursuant to such rules and regulations, certain disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been omitted. The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes included in Devon’s 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements in this report reflect all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of Devon’s results of operations and cash flows for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 and Devon’s financial position as of March 31, 2025.

On September 27, 2024, Devon acquired the Williston Basin business of Grayson Mill for total consideration of approximately $5.0 billion, consisting of $3.5 billion of cash and approximately 37.3 million shares of Devon common stock, including purchase price adjustments. The transaction has been accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. See Note 2 for further discussion.

 

Variable Interest Entity

CDM is a joint venture entity formed by Devon and an affiliate of QL Capital Partners, LP. CDM provides gathering, compression and dehydration services for natural gas production in the Cotton Draw area of the Delaware Basin. Devon holds a controlling interest in CDM and the portions of CDM’s net earnings and equity not attributable to Devon’s controlling interest are shown separately as noncontrolling interests in the accompanying consolidated statements of comprehensive earnings and consolidated balance sheets. CDM is considered a VIE to Devon. The assets of CDM cannot be used by Devon for general corporate purposes and are included in, and disclosed parenthetically, on Devon's consolidated balance sheets. The carrying amount of liabilities related to CDM for which the creditors do not have recourse to Devon's assets are also included in, and disclosed parenthetically, if material, on Devon's consolidated balance sheets.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

Beginning with the 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K, Devon adopted ASU 2023-07, Improvements to Reportable Segments Disclosures. Under this ASU, the scope and frequency of segment disclosures has increased to provide investors with additional detail about information utilized by an entity's "Chief Operating Decision Maker". See Note 19 for Devon's disclosure.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. ASU 2023-09 intends to provide investors with enhanced information about an entity’s income taxes by requiring disclosure of items such as disaggregation of the effective tax rate reconciliation as well as information regarding income taxes paid. This ASU will result in additional disclosures for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted for annual financial statements that have

not yet been issued. This ASU will result in additional disclosures for Devon beginning with our 2025 annual reporting and interim periods beginning in 2026.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. ASU 2024-03 requires disclosures about specific types of expenses included in the expense captions presented on the face of the statement of operations as well as disclosures about selling expenses. This ASU is effective for Devon beginning with its 2027 annual reporting and interim periods beginning in 2028. Devon is evaluating the impact this ASU will have on the disclosures that accompany its consolidated financial statements.

2. Acquisitions and Divestitures

Grayson Mill Acquisition

On September 27, 2024, Devon completed its acquisition of the Williston Basin business of Grayson Mill for total consideration of approximately $5.0 billion, consisting of $3.5 billion of cash and approximately 37.3 million shares of Devon common stock, including purchase price adjustments. Devon funded the cash portion of the purchase price through cash on hand and debt financing. For additional information regarding the debt financing, see Note 13.

Purchase Price Allocation

This transaction has been accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. Under the acquisition method of accounting, the assets and liabilities of Grayson Mill and its subsidiaries have been recorded at their respective fair values as of the date of completion of the acquisition and added to Devon’s. The preliminary purchase price assessment remains an ongoing process and is subject to change for up to one year subsequent to the closing date of the acquisition. Determining the fair value of the assets and liabilities of Grayson Mill requires judgment and certain assumptions to be made, the most significant of these being related to the valuation of Grayson Mill’s oil and gas properties. The inputs and assumptions related to the oil and gas properties are categorized as level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

Asset Exchange

On April 1, 2025, Devon and BPX Energy dissolved their partnership and divided their acreage in the Eagle Ford Blackhawk field located in Texas' DeWitt County. The transaction is expected to be accounted for as an equal, non-monetary exchange between the two parties.

Contingent Earnout Payments

Devon was entitled to contingent earnout payments associated with the sale of its Barnett Shale assets in 2020 with upside participation beginning at a $2.75 Henry Hub natural gas price or a $50 WTI oil price. The contingent payment period commenced on January 1, 2021, and had a term of four years. Devon received $20 million in contingent earnout payments related to this transaction in both the first quarter of 2025 and first quarter of 2024.

3.
Derivative Financial Instruments

Objectives and Strategies

Devon enters into derivative financial instruments with respect to a portion of its oil, gas and NGL production to hedge future prices received. Additionally, Devon periodically enters into derivative financial instruments with respect to a portion of its oil, gas and NGL marketing activities. These commodity derivative financial instruments include financial price swaps, basis swaps and costless price collars.

Devon does not intend to hold or issue derivative financial instruments for speculative trading purposes and has elected not to designate any of its derivative instruments for hedge accounting treatment.

Counterparty Credit Risk

By using derivative financial instruments, Devon is exposed to credit risk. Credit risk is the failure of the counterparty to perform under the terms of the derivative contract. To mitigate this risk, the hedging instruments are placed with a number of counterparties whom Devon believes are acceptable credit risks. It is Devon’s policy to enter into derivative contracts only with investment-grade rated counterparties deemed by management to be competent and competitive market makers. Additionally, Devon’s derivative contracts generally contain provisions that provide for collateral payments if Devon’s or its counterparty’s credit rating falls below certain credit rating levels. As of March 31, 2025, Devon neither held cash collateral of its counterparties nor posted cash collateral to its counterparties.

Commodity Derivatives

As of March 31, 2025, Devon had the following open oil derivative positions. The first two tables present Devon’s oil derivatives that settle against the average of the prompt month NYMEX WTI futures price. The third table presents Devon’s oil derivatives that settle against the respective indices noted within the table.

Credit Lines

Devon has a $3.0 billion revolving Senior Credit Facility, and, in the first quarter of 2025, Devon exercised its option to extend the Senior Credit Facility maturity date from March 24, 2029 to March 24, 2030. Devon has the option to extend the March 24, 2030 maturity date by an additional year subject to lender consent. As of March 31, 2025, Devon had no outstanding borrowings under the Senior Credit Facility and had issued $4 million in outstanding letters of credit under this facility. The Senior Credit Facility contains only one material financial covenant. This covenant requires Devon's ratio of total funded debt to total capitalization, as defined in the credit agreement, to be no greater than 65%. Under the terms of the credit agreement, total capitalization is adjusted to add back

non-cash financial write-downs such as impairments. As of March 31, 2025, Devon was in compliance with this covenant with a debt-to-capitalization ratio of 26.3%.

 

Term Loan Credit Agreement

In August 2024, Devon entered into a delayed draw term loan credit agreement (the “Term Loan Credit Agreement”), providing for delayed draw term loans in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $2.0 billion, including a 364-day tranche of $500 million and a two-year tranche of $1.5 billion. On September 27, 2024, Devon borrowed $1.0 billion on the two-year tranche (the “Term Loan”) to partially fund the closing of the Grayson Mill acquisition. In connection with the borrowing of the Term Loan, the undrawn commitments under the Term Loan Credit Agreement automatically terminated. The Term Loan bears interest at a rate based on term SOFR plus a spread adjustment that varies based on Devon's credit ratings. The interest rate on the Term Loan was 5.8% as of March 31, 2025.

The Term Loan Credit Agreement contains substantially the same financial covenant as the Senior Credit Facility. As of March 31, 2025, Devon was in compliance with this covenant with a debt-to-capitalization ratio of 26.3%.

 

Issuance of Senior Notes

In August 2024, Devon issued $1.25 billion of 5.20% senior notes due 2034 and $1.0 billion of 5.75% senior notes due 2054. Devon used the net proceeds to partially fund the Grayson Mill acquisition. For additional information, see Note 2.

Retirement of Senior Notes

On September 15, 2024, Devon repaid $472 million of 5.25% senior notes at maturity.

14. Leases

Devon’s operating lease right-of-use assets relate to real estate, drilling rigs and other equipment related to the exploration, development and production of oil and gas. As of March 31, 2025, Devon’s financing lease right-of-use assets primarily relate to equipment related to the exploration, development and production of oil and gas. In the first quarter of 2025, Devon extinguished an approximately $300 million real estate finance lease by making a cash payment of $274 million and recognized a gain on early lease extinguishment in other, net related to the difference on the accompanying consolidated statement of comprehensive earnings. For additional information, see Note 5.

Commitments and Contingencies

Devon is party to various legal actions arising in connection with its business. Matters that are probable of unfavorable outcome to Devon and which can be reasonably estimated are accrued. Such accruals are based on information known about the matters, Devon’s estimates of the outcomes of such matters and its experience in contesting, litigating and settling similar matters. None of the actions are believed by management to likely involve future amounts that would be material to Devon’s financial position or results of operations after consideration of recorded accruals. Actual amounts could differ materially from management’s estimates.

Royalty Matters

Numerous oil and natural gas producers and related parties, including Devon, have been named in various lawsuits alleging royalty underpayments. Devon is currently named as a defendant in a number of such lawsuits, including some lawsuits in which the plaintiffs seek to certify classes of similarly situated plaintiffs. Among the allegations typically asserted in these suits are claims that Devon used below-market prices, made improper deductions, paid royalty proceeds in an untimely manner without including required interest, used improper measurement techniques and entered into gas purchase and processing arrangements with affiliates that resulted in underpayment of royalties in connection with oil, natural gas and NGLs produced and sold. Devon is also involved in governmental agency proceedings and royalty audits and is subject to related contracts and regulatory controls in the ordinary course of business, some that may lead to additional royalty claims. As of March 31, 2025, Devon has accrued approximately $40 million in other current liabilities pertaining to such royalty matters.

Environmental and Climate Change Matters

Devon’s business is subject to numerous federal, state, tribal and local laws and regulations governing the discharge of materials into the environment or otherwise relating to environmental protection. Failure to comply with these laws and regulations may result in the assessment of administrative, civil and criminal fines and penalties, as well as remediation costs. Although Devon believes that it is in substantial compliance with applicable environmental laws and regulations and that continued compliance with existing requirements will not have a material adverse impact on its business, there can be no assurance that this will continue in the future.

The Company has previously received separate NOVs from the EPA alleging emissions and permitting violations relating to certain of our historic operations in North Dakota, western Texas and New Mexico, respectively. The Company has been engaging with the EPA to resolve each of these matters, and Devon is actively negotiating a draft consent decree with the EPA and the Department of Justice with respect to the North Dakota NOV matter. If finalized, the consent decree may include monetary sanctions and obligations to complete mitigation projects and implement specific injunctive relief. Given that negotiations of the draft consent decree are ongoing and the uncertainty as to the ultimate result of the North Dakota NOV matter, we are currently unable to provide an estimate of potential loss; however, the costs associated with the resolution of the North Dakota NOV matter or any of the other NOV matters could be significant in amount and may include monetary penalties.

Beginning in 2013, various parishes in Louisiana filed suit against numerous oil and gas companies, including Devon, alleging that the companies’ operations and activities in certain fields violated the State and Local Coastal Resource Management Act of 1978, as amended, and caused substantial environmental contamination, subsidence and other environmental damages to land and water bodies located in the coastal zone of Louisiana. The plaintiffs’ claims against Devon relate primarily to the operations of several of Devon’s corporate predecessors. The plaintiffs seek, among other things, payment of the costs necessary to clear, re-vegetate and otherwise restore the allegedly impacted areas. Although Devon cannot predict the ultimate outcome of these matters, Devon denies the allegations in these lawsuits and intends to vigorously defend against these claims.

The State of Delaware has filed legal proceedings against numerous oil and gas companies, including Devon, seeking relief to abate alleged impacts of climate change. These proceedings include far-reaching claims for monetary damages and injunctive relief. Although Devon cannot predict the ultimate outcome of this matter, Devon denies the allegations asserted in this lawsuit and intends to vigorously defend against these claims.

Other Indemnifications and Legacy Matters

Pursuant to various sale agreements relating to divested businesses and assets, Devon has indemnified various purchasers against liabilities that they may incur with respect to the businesses and assets acquired from Devon. Additionally, federal, state and other laws in areas of former operations may require previous operators (including corporate successors of previous operators) to perform or make payments in certain circumstances where the current operator may no longer be able to satisfy the applicable obligation. Such obligations may include plugging and abandoning wells, removing production facilities, undertaking other restorative actions or performing requirements under surface agreements in existence at the time of disposition. For example, a predecessor entity of a Devon subsidiary previously sold certain private, state and federal oil and gas leases covering properties in shallow waters off the coast of Louisiana in the Gulf of America. These assets are generally referred to as the East Bay Field. The current operator of the East Bay Field has filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code and will likely be unable to satisfy the eventual decommissioning obligations associated with the East Bay Field. Other companies in the chain of title of the East Bay Field have also sought bankruptcy protection and will also likely be unable to satisfy the eventual decommissioning obligations associated with the East Bay Field.

In March 2025, Devon received an order from the Department of the Interior, Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement to decommission assets located on certain federal leases in the East Bay Field (the “Federal Assets”). As a result, during the first quarter of 2025, Devon recorded a contingent liability of $125 million within other long-term liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet, reflecting the estimated costs of decommissioning the Federal Assets. The Company expects to be able to access funds available under certain bonds and a cash security account as and when Devon performs and pays these decommissioning obligations. Devon believes the funds will likely cover approximately $100 million of the estimated decommissioning costs for the Federal Assets. Accordingly, during the first quarter of 2025, Devon recorded an approximately $100 million receivable related to these sources of funds within other long-term assets in the consolidated balance sheet. The remaining $25 million difference of the recorded decommissioning obligation and such sources of funds was recognized in other, net on the consolidated statement of comprehensive earnings. Devon may also be required to perform or fund decommissioning obligations associated with the East Bay Field under state and federal regulations applicable to predecessor operators beyond amounts accrued. Factors impacting this contingency include, among others: (i) the ultimate outcome of the ongoing bankruptcy proceedings, including with respect to state lease assets included in the East Bay Field, (ii) the actual costs to decommission the Federal Assets relative to the estimates, which are subject to numerous assumptions and uncertainties, and (iii) Devon's ability to successfully access funds under decommissioning bonds and other sources.

As of March 31, 2025, Devon has accrued approximately $200 million of contingent liabilities related to such decommissioning legacy matters, including liabilities associated with the East Bay Field.

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values in the table above.

Level 1 Fair Value Measurements

Cash equivalents – Amounts consist primarily of money market investments and the fair value approximates the carrying value.

Level 2 Fair Value Measurements

Commodity derivatives – The fair value of commodity derivatives is estimated using internal discounted cash flow calculations based upon forward curves and data obtained from independent third parties for contracts with similar terms or data obtained from counterparties to the agreements.

 

Debt – Devon’s debt instruments do not consistently trade actively in an established market. The fair values of its debt are estimated based on rates available for debt with similar terms and maturity when active trading is not available. Our variable rate debt is non-public and consists of our Term Loan. The fair value of our variable rate debt approximates the carrying value as the underlying SOFR resets every month based on the prevailing market rate.

Level 3 Fair Value Measurements

Contingent Earnout Payments – Devon had the right to receive contingent consideration related to the Barnett asset divestiture based on future oil and gas prices. These values were derived using a Monte Carlo valuation model and qualify as a level 3 fair value measurement. For additional information, see Note 2.

Reportable Segments

Devon is a leading independent energy company engaged primarily in the exploration, development and production of oil, natural gas and NGLs. Devon’s oil and gas exploration and production activities are solely focused in the U.S. For financial reporting purposes, Devon aggregates its U.S. operating segments into one reporting segment due to the similar nature of these operations.

Devon’s chief operating decision maker is the executive committee, which includes the chief executive officer, chief operating officers and chief financial officer. To assess the performance of our assets, we use net earnings. We believe net earnings provides information useful in assessing our operating and financial performance across periods.

The following table reflects Devon's net earnings, assets and capital expenditures for the time periods presented below.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis addresses material changes in our results of operations for the three-month period ended March 31, 2025 compared to previous periods, and in our financial condition and liquidity since December 31, 2024. For information regarding our critical accounting policies and estimates, see our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K under “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”

Executive Overview

 

We are a leading independent oil and natural gas exploration and production company whose operations are focused onshore in the United States. Our operations are currently focused in four core areas: the Delaware Basin, Rockies, Eagle Ford and Anadarko. Our asset base is underpinned by premium acreage in the economic core of the Delaware Basin and our diverse, top-tier resource plays, providing a deep inventory of opportunities for years to come.

 

On September 27, 2024, we acquired the Williston Basin business of Grayson Mill for total consideration of approximately $5.0 billion, consisting of $3.5 billion of cash and approximately 37.3 million shares of Devon common stock, including purchase price adjustments. The acquisition allows us to efficiently expand our oil production and operating scale, creating immediate and long-term, sustainable value to shareholders over time.

 

As evidenced by this acquisition, we remain focused on building economic value by executing on our strategic priorities of moderating production growth, emphasizing capital and operational efficiencies, optimizing reinvestment rates to maximize free cash flow, maintaining low leverage, delivering cash returns to our shareholders and pursuing operational excellence. Our recent performance highlights for these priorities include the following items for the first quarter of 2025:

 

•
Oil production totaled 388 MBbls/d, exceeding our plan by 1%.
•
As of March 31, 2025, completed approximately 73% of our authorized $5.0 billion share repurchase program with approximately 77.5 million of our common shares purchased for approximately $3.6 billion, or $47.02 per share since inception of the plan.
•
Exited with $4.2 billion of liquidity, including $1.2 billion of cash.
•
Generated $1.9 billion of operating cash flow and $6.8 billion for the past twelve trailing months.
•
Paid dividends of $163 million and have declared approximately $154 million of dividends to be paid in the second quarter of 2025.
•
Earnings attributable to Devon were $494 million, or $0.77 per diluted share.
•
Core earnings (Non-GAAP) were $779 million, or $1.21 per diluted share.

 

Our net earnings and operating cash flow are highly dependent upon oil, gas and NGL prices which can be volatile due to several varying factors. During the first quarter of 2025, commodity prices have experienced heightened volatility and declines, driven primarily by economic uncertainty in global trade arising from geopolitical events and shifting trade policies, such as the imposition of tariffs by the U.S. and planned oil output increases by OPEC+. Despite the potential negative impacts of higher inflation rates and supply chain disruptions created by these developments, we remain committed to capital discipline and delivering the objectives that underpin our current plan. Our disciplined, returns-driven strategy is designed to adapt to market fluctuations by reducing activity when necessary to maximize free cash flow generation. We will continue to prioritize value creation through moderated capital investment and production growth, particularly with a view of the volatility in commodity prices, supply chain constraints and the economic uncertainty arising from inflation and geopolitical events. Our cash-return objectives remain focused on opportunistic share repurchases, funding our dividends, repaying debt at upcoming maturities and building cash balances.

 

To emphasize our commitment to maximizing free cash flow and creating value for shareholders, we recently announced a business optimization plan which is anticipated to improve our annual pre-tax cash flow by $1.0 billion. The plan includes actions to achieve more efficient field-level operations and improvements in drilling and completion costs while improving operating margins and corporate costs. These savings are on track to be achieved by the end of 2026 with approximately $400 million expected to be completed by the end of 2025.

From the fourth quarter of 2024 to the first quarter of 2025, the change in volumes contributed to a $165 million decrease in earnings. The decrease in volumes was primarily due to natural well declines in the Delaware Basin, Eagle Ford and Anadarko Basin, as well as winter weather impacts in the Delaware and Anadarko Basins.

From the fourth quarter of 2024 to the first quarter of 2025, realized prices contributed to a $205 million increase in earnings. Unhedged oil, gas and NGL prices increased primarily due to higher WTI, Henry Hub and Mont Belvieu index prices, respectively. The increase in unhedged prices was partially offset by unfavorable gas and NGL hedge cash settlements.

 

We currently have approximately 30% and 35% of our remaining anticipated 2025 oil and gas production hedged, respectively.

Production expenses increased primarily due to the timing of new well activity in the Delaware Basin and Rockies, which led to higher LOE in the first quarter of 2025.

 

Field-Level Cash Margin

The table below presents the field-level cash margin for each of our operating areas. Field-level cash margin is computed as oil, gas and NGL sales less production expenses and is not a measure defined by GAAP. A reconciliation to the comparable GAAP measures is found in “Non-GAAP Measures” in this Item 2. The changes in production volumes, realized prices and production expenses, shown above, had the following impact on our field-level cash margins by asset.

From the first quarter of 2024 to the first quarter of 2025, the change in volumes contributed to a $542 million increase in earnings. Volumes increased primarily due to the Grayson Mill acquisition in the Rockies, which closed in the third quarter of 2024 as well as new well activity across our portfolio, particularly in the Delaware Basin.

From the first quarter of 2024 to the first quarter of 2025, realized prices contributed to a $45 million decrease in earnings. This decrease was due to lower unhedged realized oil prices which decreased primarily due to lower WTI index prices. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in unhedged realized gas and NGL prices which were primarily due to higher Henry Hub and Mont Belvieu index prices. Realized prices were also negatively impacted by unfavorable gas and NGL hedge cash settlements.

Field-Level Cash Margin

The table below presents the field-level cash margin for each of our operating areas. Field-level cash margin is computed as oil, gas and NGL sales less production expenses and is not a measure defined by GAAP. A reconciliation to the comparable GAAP measures is found in “Non-GAAP Measures” in this Item 2. The changes in production volumes, realized prices and production expenses, shown above, had the following impact on our field-level cash margins by asset.

DD&A increased in the first quarter of 2025 primarily due to higher volumes driven by the Grayson Mill acquisition and new well activity across our portfolio.

 

In the first quarter of 2025, Devon rationalized two headquarters-related real estate assets resulting in total asset impairments of $254 million. As a result, our annual DD&A will be reduced by approximately $15 million and our net financing costs will be reduced by approximately $20 million due to the extinguishment of the associated financing lease. See Note 5 in "Part I. Financial Information – Item 1. Financial Statements" of this report for further discussion.

Divestitures of Property and Equipment

During the first three months of 2025, we generated $133 million in proceeds primarily from the sale of headquarters-related real estate assets as part of our real estate rationalization initiatives. For additional information, see Note 5 in “Part I. Financial Information – Item 1. Financial Statements” in this report.

During the first three months of 2025 and 2024, we received $20 million in contingent earnout payments related to assets previously sold. For additional information, see Note 2 in “Part I. Financial Information – Item 1. Financial Statements” in this report.

Repayment of Finance Lease

During the first three months of 2025, we paid $274 million in cash to extinguish a financing lease related to a headquarters-related real estate asset as part of our real estate rationalization initiatives. For additional information, see Note 14 in “Part I. Financial Information – Item 1. Financial Statements” in this report.

Investment Activity

During the first three months of 2025 and 2024, Devon received distributions from our investments of $9 million and $11 million, respectively. Devon contributed $2 million and $47 million to our investments during the first three months of 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Shareholder Distributions and Stock Activity

We repurchased approximately 8.5 million shares of common stock for $301 million and approximately 4.4 million shares of common stock for $193 million under the share repurchase program authorized by our Board of Directors in the first three months of 2025 and 2024, respectively. For additional information, see Note 16 in “Part I. Financial Information – Item 1. Financial Statements” in this report.

The following table summarizes our common stock dividends during the first quarter of 2025 and 2024. Devon most recently raised its fixed dividend by 9% from $0.22 to $0.24 per share in the first quarter of 2025.

Noncontrolling Interest Activity, net

During the first three months of 2025 and 2024, we distributed $9 million and $7 million, respectively, to our noncontrolling interests in CDM. During the first three months of 2025 and 2024, we received $14 million and $12 million, respectively, in contributions from our noncontrolling interests.

Liquidity

The business of exploring for, developing and producing oil and natural gas is capital intensive. Because oil, natural gas and NGL reserves are a depleting resource, we, like all upstream operators, must continually make capital investments to grow and even sustain production. Generally, our capital investments are focused on drilling and completing new wells and maintaining production from existing wells. At opportunistic times, we also acquire operations and properties from other operators or landowners to enhance our existing portfolio of assets.

On September 27, 2024, Devon acquired the Williston Basin business of Grayson Mill. This acquisition adds a high-margin production mix that enhances our position and efficiently expands our operating scale and production. The acquisition delivers sustainable accretion to earnings and free cash flow further supporting our cash-return business model, which moderates growth, emphasizes capital efficiencies and prioritizes cash returns to shareholders.

To emphasize our commitment to maximizing free cash flow and creating value for shareholders, we recently announced a business optimization plan which is anticipated to improve our annual pre-tax cash flow by $1.0 billion. These optimization initiatives

36

will be primarily focused on capital efficiencies, production optimization, commercial opportunities and corporate cost reductions. These savings are on track to be achieved by the end of 2026 with approximately $400 million expected to be completed by the end of 2025.

Historically, our primary sources of capital funding and liquidity have been our operating cash flow, cash on hand and asset divestiture proceeds. Additionally, we maintain a commercial paper program, supported by our revolving line of credit, which can be accessed as needed to supplement operating cash flow and cash balances. If needed, we can also issue debt and equity securities, including through transactions under our shelf registration statement filed with the SEC. We estimate the combination of our sources of capital will continue to be adequate to fund our planned capital requirements as discussed in this section as well as return cash to shareholders.

Operating Cash Flow

Key inputs into determining our planned capital investment are the amount of cash we hold and operating cash flow we expect to generate over the next one to three or more years. At the end of the first quarter of 2025, we held approximately $1.2 billion of cash. Our operating cash flow forecasts are sensitive to many variables and include a measure of uncertainty as actual results may differ from our expectations.

Commodity Prices – The most uncertain and volatile variables for our operating cash flow are the prices of the oil, gas and NGLs we produce and sell. Prices are determined primarily by prevailing market conditions. Regional and worldwide economic activity, weather, changes in public policy, including the imposition of tariffs by the U.S. or other countries, and other highly variable factors influence market conditions for these products. These factors, which are difficult to predict, create volatility in prices and are beyond our control.

To mitigate some of the risk inherent in prices, we utilize various derivative financial instruments to protect a portion of our production against downside price risk. The key terms to our oil, gas and NGL derivative financial instruments as of March 31, 2025 are presented in Note 3 in “Part I. Financial Information – Item 1. Financial Statements” of this report.

Further, when considering the current commodity price environment and our current hedge position, we expect to achieve our capital investment priorities. We remain committed to capital discipline and focused on delivering the objectives that underpin our capital plan for 2025. However, if commodity prices decline further, we will adapt our plan by reducing activity in order to maximize free cash flow.

Operating Expenses – Commodity prices can also affect our operating cash flow through an indirect effect on operating expenses. Significant commodity price decreases can lead to a decrease in drilling and development activities. As a result, the demand and cost for people, services, equipment and materials may also decrease, causing a positive impact on our cash flow as the prices paid for services and equipment decline. However, the inverse is also generally true during periods of rising commodity prices.

Additionally, the economic uncertainty in global trade arising from geopolitical events and shifting trade policies, such as the imposition of tariffs by the U.S., may contribute to higher inflation rates and disrupt supply chains, negatively impacting our cash flow. While we actively work to mitigate the impact of these potential risks through operational efficiencies gained from the scale of our operations as well as by leveraging long-standing relationships with our suppliers, the ultimate impacts remain uncertain.

Credit Losses – Our operating cash flow is also exposed to credit risk in a variety of ways. This includes the credit risk related to customers who purchase our oil, gas and NGL production, the collection of receivables from our joint interest owners for their proportionate share of expenditures made on projects we operate and counterparties to our derivative financial contracts. We utilize a variety of mechanisms to limit our exposure to the credit risks of our customers, joint interest owners and counterparties. Such mechanisms include, under certain conditions, requiring letters of credit, prepayments or cash collateral postings.

Credit Availability

As of March 31, 2025, we had approximately $3.0 billion of available borrowing capacity under our Senior Credit Facility. This credit facility supports our $3.0 billion of short-term credit under our commercial paper program. At March 31, 2025, there were no borrowings under our commercial paper program, and we were in compliance with the Senior Credit Facility’s financial covenant.

37

Debt Ratings

We receive debt ratings from the major ratings agencies in the U.S. In determining our debt ratings, the agencies consider a number of qualitative and quantitative items including, but not limited to, commodity pricing levels, our liquidity, asset quality, reserve mix, debt levels, cost structure, planned asset sales and the size and scale of our production. Our credit rating from Standard and Poor’s Financial Services is BBB with a stable outlook. Our credit rating from Fitch is BBB+ with a stable outlook. Our credit rating from Moody’s Investor Service is Baa2 with a stable outlook. Any rating downgrades may result in additional letters of credit or cash collateral being posted under certain contractual arrangements.

There are no “rating triggers” in any of our contractual debt obligations that would accelerate scheduled maturities should our debt rating fall below a specified level. However, a downgrade could adversely impact our interest rate on our Term Loan or any credit facility borrowings and the ability to economically access debt markets in the future.

Cash Returns to Shareholders

We are committed to returning cash to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases. Our Board of Directors will consider a number of factors when setting the quarterly dividend, if any, including a general target of paying out approximately 10% of operating cash flow through the fixed dividend. In addition to the fixed quarterly dividend, we may pay a variable dividend or complete share repurchases. The declaration and payment of any future dividend, whether fixed or variable, will remain at the full discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend on our financial results, cash requirements, future prospects and other factors deemed relevant by the Board.

In May 2025, Devon announced a cash dividend in the amount of $0.24 per share payable in the second quarter of 2025 and will total approximately $154 million.

 

Our Board of Directors has authorized a $5.0 billion share repurchase program that expires on June 30, 2026. Through April 2025, we had executed $3.7 billion of the authorized program.

Capital Expenditures

 

Our capital expenditures budget for the remainder of 2025 is expected to be approximately $2.7 billion to $2.9 billion.

Investment Divestiture

 

On May 5, 2025, Devon agreed to sell its investment in Matterhorn for approximately $375 million. The transaction is expected to close by the end of the second quarter, subject to customary closing conditions. Proceeds from the divestiture will be used to further strengthen our investment-grade financial position.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Purchase Accounting

Periodically, we acquire assets and assume liabilities in transactions accounted for as business combinations, such as the acquisition of the Williston Basin business of Grayson Mill. In connection with the acquisition, we allocated the $5.0 billion of purchase price consideration to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on estimated fair values as of the date of the acquisition. The preliminary purchase price assessment remains an ongoing process and is subject to change for up to one year subsequent to the closing date of the acquisition.

We made a number of assumptions in estimating the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the acquisition. The most significant assumptions relate to the estimated fair values of proved and unproved oil and gas properties. Since sufficient market data was not available regarding the fair values of proved and unproved oil and gas properties, we prepared estimates and engaged third-party valuation experts. Significant judgments and assumptions are inherent in these estimates and include, among other things, estimates of reserve quantities, estimates of future commodity prices, drilling plans, expected development costs, lease operating costs, reserve risk adjustment factors and an estimate of an applicable market participant discount rate that reflects the risk of the underlying cash flow estimates.

38


Table of Contents

 

 

Estimated fair values ascribed to assets acquired can have a significant impact on future results of operations presented in Devon’s financial statements. A higher fair value ascribed to a property results in higher DD&A expense, which results in lower net earnings. Fair values are based on estimates of future commodity prices, reserve quantities, development costs and operating costs. In the event that future commodity prices or reserve quantities are lower than those used as inputs to determine estimates of acquisition date fair values, the likelihood increases that certain costs may be determined to not be recoverable.

For additional information regarding our critical accounting policies and estimates, see our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

 

Non-GAAP Measures

We utilize “core earnings attributable to Devon” and “core earnings per share attributable to Devon” that are not required by or presented in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP measures are not alternatives to GAAP measures and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results reported under GAAP. Core earnings attributable to Devon, as well as the per share amount, represent net earnings excluding certain non-cash and other items that are typically excluded by securities analysts in their published estimates of our financial results. Our non-GAAP measures are typically used as a quarterly performance measure. Amounts excluded relate to asset dispositions, non-cash asset impairments (including unproved asset impairments), deferred tax asset valuation allowance, fair value changes in derivative financial instruments and restructuring and transaction costs.

We believe these non-GAAP measures facilitate comparisons of our performance to earnings estimates published by securities analysts. We also believe these non-GAAP measures can facilitate comparisons of our performance between periods and to the performance of our peers.

 

Below are reconciliations of core earnings and core earnings per share attributable to Devon to comparable GAAP measures.

EBITDAX and Field-Level Cash Margin

To assess the performance of our assets, we use EBITDAX and Field-Level Cash Margin. We compute EBITDAX as net earnings before income tax expense; financing costs, net; exploration expenses; DD&A; asset impairments; asset disposition gains and losses; non-cash share-based compensation; non-cash valuation changes for derivatives and financial instruments; restructuring and transaction costs; accretion on discounted liabilities; and other items not related to our normal operations. Field-Level Cash Margin is computed as oil, gas and NGL sales less production expenses. Production expenses consist of lease operating, gathering, processing and transportation expenses, as well as production and property taxes.

We exclude financing costs from EBITDAX to assess our operating results without regard to our financing methods or capital structure. Exploration expenses and asset disposition gains and losses are excluded from EBITDAX because they generally are not indicators of operating efficiency for a given reporting period. DD&A and impairments are excluded from EBITDAX because capital expenditures are evaluated at the time capital costs are incurred. We exclude share-based compensation, valuation changes,

39


Table of Contents

 

 

restructuring and transaction costs, accretion on discounted liabilities and other items from EBITDAX because they are not considered a measure of asset operating performance.

We believe EBITDAX and Field-Level Cash Margin provide information useful in assessing our operating and financial performance across periods. EBITDAX and Field-Level Cash Margin as defined by Devon may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies and should be considered in conjunction with net earnings from operations.

Below are reconciliations of net earnings to EBITDAX and a further reconciliation to Field-Level Cash Margin.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Commodity Price Risk

As of March 31, 2025, we have commodity derivatives that pertain to a portion of our estimated production for the last nine months of 2025, as well as for 2026. The key terms to our open oil, gas and NGL derivative financial instruments are presented in Note 3 in “Part I. Financial Information – Item 1. Financial Statements” in this report.

The fair values of our commodity derivatives are largely determined by the forward curves of the relevant price indices. At March 31, 2025, a 10% change in the forward curves associated with our commodity derivative instruments would have changed our net positions by approximately $275 million.

Interest Rate Risk

At March 31, 2025, we had total debt of $8.9 billion. Of this debt, $7.9 billion was comprised of debentures and notes that have fixed interest rates which averaged 5.7%. We also have a $1.0 billion Term Loan which has a variable interest rate that is adjusted monthly. The interest rate on the Term Loan was 5.8% at March 31, 2025.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We have established disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that material information relating to Devon, including its consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to the officers who certify Devon’s financial reports and to other members of senior management and the Board of Directors.

Based on their evaluation, our principal executive and principal financial officers have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) were effective as of March 31, 2025 to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by Devon in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Exhibit 10.1

EXTENSION AGREEMENT

(Extension of Maturity Date Pursuant to Section 4.08 of the Credit Agreement)

This EXTENSION AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) dated as of March 24, 2025 (the “Extension Effective Date”) is entered into by and among DEVON ENERGY CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (the “Borrower”), the undersigned Lenders (as defined in the Credit Agreement) (the “Consenting Lenders”), and BANK OF AMERICA, N.A., as Administrative Agent (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”), L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings attributed to them in the Credit Agreement (as hereinafter defined).

 

R E C I T A L S

 

A. Reference is made to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of March 24, 2023 among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”).

 

B. This Agreement is being executed to evidence Borrower’s requested extension of the Maturity Date from March 24, 2029 to March 24, 2030 pursuant to Section 4.08 of the Credit Agreement (the “Extension”).

 

C. Each of the Consenting Lenders is entering into this Agreement in order to evidence its consent to the Extension.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto agree as follows:

 

1. Consent to Extension. Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Paragraph 2 below, each Consenting Lender hereby consents to the Extension, and effective as of the Extension Effective Date, the Maturity Date applicable to each Consenting Lender is March 24, 2030.

 

2. Conditions Precedent to Effectiveness. This Agreement and the Extension shall be effective as of the date hereof, provided that Administrative Agent shall have received the following (a) counterparts of this Agreement, executed by the Borrower and the Lenders holding more than 50% of the Aggregate Commitments (calculated in accordance with Section 4.08 of the Credit Agreement), (b) a certificate of each Loan Party dated as of the date hereof containing the certifications required by Section 4.08(b) of the Credit Agreement, and (c) a fee in the amount separately agreed by the Borrower, for the account of each Consenting Lender.

 

3. Affirmation and Ratification of Loan Documents. The Borrower hereby (a) ratifies and affirms each Loan Document to which it is a party (as modified by the Extension), (b) agrees that all of its obligations and covenants under each Loan Document to which it is a party shall remain unimpaired by the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other documents and instruments executed in connection herewith, and (c) agrees that each Loan Document to which it is a party (as modified by the Extension) shall remain in full force and effect. This Agreement is a Loan Document.

 

4. Representations of Borrowers. The Borrower represents and warrants for the benefit of the Consenting Lenders and the Administrative Agent as follows: (a) before and after giving effect to the Extension, the representations and warranties contained in Article 7 of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents made by it are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the Extension Effective Date, except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date, provided that in

 

 


 

each case, such materiality qualifier shall not be applicable to any representations and warranties that already are qualified or modified by materiality in the text thereof, (b) before and after giving effect to the Extension no Default exists or will exist, and (c) no event has occurred since the date of the most recent audited financial statements of the Borrower delivered pursuant to Section 8.02(a) of the Credit Agreement that has had, or could reasonably be expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect.

 

5. Miscellaneous. (a) Headings and captions may not be construed in interpreting provisions; (b) this Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the law of the State of New York; (c) this Agreement may be in the form of an Electronic Record and may be executed using Electronic Signatures (including, without limitation, facsimile and .pdf) and shall be considered an original, and shall have the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as a paper record and (d) nothing in this Agreement is intended, or shall be construed, to constitute a novation or an accord and satisfaction of any of the Obligations. This Agreement may be executed in as many counterparts as necessary or convenient, including both paper and electronic counterparts, but all such counterparts are one and the same Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the authorization under this paragraph may include, without limitation, use or acceptance by Administrative Agent of a manually-signed paper communication which has been converted into electronic form (such as scanned into .pdf format), or an electronically signed communication converted into another format, for transmission, delivery and/or retention.

 

6. ENTIRE AGREEMENT. The Credit Agreement and the Other Loan Documents, TOGETHER WITH THIS Agreement, represent the final agreement between the parties and may not be contradicted by evidence of prior, contemporaneous, or subsequent oral agreements of the parties. There are no unwritten oral agreements between the parties.

DEVON ENERGY CORPORATION

2022 LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN

RESTRICTED STOCK AWARD AGREEMENT

THIS RESTRICTED STOCK AWARD AGREEMENT (this “Award Agreement”) is entered into as of Grant Date (the “Date of Grant”), by and between Devon Energy Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Participant Name (the “Participant”).

W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, the Company has previously adopted the Devon Energy Corporation 2022 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”);

WHEREAS, in connection with the Participant’s employment with the Company, the Company desires to award to the Participant Number of Shares Granted shares of the Company’s Common Stock under the Plan subject to the terms and conditions of this Award Agreement and the Plan; and

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual promises and covenants herein contained, the Participant and the Company agree as follows:

1.
The Plan. The Plan, a copy of which is attached hereto, is hereby incorporated by reference herein and made a part hereof for all purposes, and when taken with this Award Agreement shall govern the rights of the Participant and the Company with respect to the Award.
2.
Grant of Award. The Company hereby grants to the Participant an award (the “Award”) of Number of Shares Granted shares of the Company’s Common Stock (the “Restricted Stock”), on the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Plan.
3.
Terms of Award.
(a)
Escrow of Shares. A certificate or book-entry registration representing the Restricted Stock shall be issued in the name of the Participant and shall be escrowed with the Secretary subject to removal of the restrictions placed thereon or forfeiture pursuant to the terms of this Award Agreement.
(b)
Vesting.
(i)
25% of the shares of the Restricted Stock are scheduled to vest on each of the first four anniversary dates of the Date of Grant (each, a “Vesting Date”). Except as provided in this Section 3, if the Participant’s Date of Termination has not occurred as of a Vesting Date, then the Participant shall be entitled, subject to the applicable provisions of the Plan and this Award Agreement having been satisfied, to receive, on or within a reasonable time after the applicable Vesting Date, the shares scheduled to vest as of the applicable Vesting Date. The portion of the Restricted Stock that has vested pursuant to the terms of this Award Agreement shall be deemed “Vested Stock.”
(ii)
The Participant shall forfeit the unvested portion of the Award (including the underlying Restricted Stock and Accrued Dividends) upon the occurrence of the Participant’s Date of Termination unless the Award becomes vested under the circumstances described in paragraphs (iii), (iv), or (v) below.
(iii)
If (A) the Participant’s Date of Termination occurs under circumstances in which the Participant is entitled to a severance payment from the Company, a Subsidiary, or an Affiliated Entity under (1) the Participant’s employment agreement or severance agreement with the Company due to a termination of the Participant’s employment by the Company without “cause” or by the Participant for “good reason” in accordance

 

 

 


 

with the Participant’s employment agreement or severance agreement or (2) the Devon Energy Corporation Severance Plan and (B) the Participant timely signs and returns to the Company a release of claims against the Company in a form prepared by the Company (the “Release”), the Restricted Stock shall become fully vested upon the date the Release becomes effective and the Restricted Stock shall be released within a reasonable time after the applicable Vesting Date. If the Participant fails to timely sign and return the Release to the Company or revokes the Release prior to the date the Release becomes effective, the unvested shares of Restricted Stock (and Accrued Dividends) subject to this Award Agreement shall be forfeited.
(iv)
The Restricted Stock shall become fully vested upon the Participant’s Date of Termination if the Participant’s Date of Termination occurs by reason of the Participant’s death. The Committee may in its sole and absolute discretion, elect to vest all or a portion of the unvested Restricted Stock upon the Participant’s Date of Termination if the Participant’s Date of Termination occurs by reason of disability or upon other special circumstances (as determined by the Committee and permitted pursuant to the Plan).
(v)
If the Participant is Post-Retirement Vesting Eligible, the Participant shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions in Section 15, be eligible to vest in accordance with the Vesting Schedule above in Section 3(b), in the installments of Restricted Stock that remain unvested on the Date of Termination as follows:

Age at Retirement

Percentage of each Unvested Installment of Restricted Stock Eligible to be Earned by the Participant

54 and earlier

    0%

  60%

56

  65%

57

  70%

100%

If (i) the Participant is Post-Retirement Vesting Eligible, (ii) the death of the Participant occurs following the Date of Termination, and (iii) no Non-Compliance Event has occurred prior to the date of the Participant’s death, then any installments of Restricted Stock that remain unvested on the date of the Participant’s death but in which the Participant was eligible to vest pursuant to this Section 3(b)(v) shall become fully vested upon the Participant’s death.

(vi) If (1) the Award is eligible for vesting under the circumstances described in paragraphs (iii) (other than in connection with a Change in Control Event) or (v) above, and (2) the Participant’s Date of Termination occurs before the one-year anniversary of the Date of Grant, then, notwithstanding such provisions in paragraphs (iii) and (v) above, the number of shares of Restricted Stock that would have otherwise vested pursuant to such provisions will be pro-rated based on the number of days from the Date of Grant to the Date of Termination out of 365.

(c)
Voting Rights and Dividends. The Participant shall have all of the voting rights attributable to the shares of Restricted Stock. Any dividends declared and paid by the Company with respect to shares of Restricted Stock (the “Accrued Dividends”) shall not be paid to the Participant until such Restricted Stock becomes Vested Stock. Accrued Dividends shall be held by the Company as a general obligation of the Company and paid to the Participant reasonably promptly following the time the underlying Restricted Stock becomes Vested Stock (but in no event later than March 15 of the calendar year following the year in which such vesting occurs). Accordingly, Accrued Dividends shall be forfeited to the extent that the related Restricted Stock does not vest and is forfeited or cancelled. No interest shall be credited on Accrued Dividends.
(d)
Vested Stock - Removal of Restrictions. Upon Restricted Stock becoming Vested Stock, all restrictions shall be removed from the certificates or book-entry registrations and the Participant shall be provided

 

 

 


 

a confirmation of the release of such Vested Stock, representing such Vested Stock as free and clear of all restrictions, except for any applicable securities laws restrictions. Reasonably promptly thereafter (but in no event later than March 15 of the calendar year following the year in which such vesting occurs), the Participant shall receive a payment in the amount of all Accrued Dividends attributed to such Vested Stock without interest thereon.
4.
Legend. The shares of Restricted Stock covered by the Award shall be subject to the restrictions described in the following legend, which shall appear on any individual certificate or book entry registration representing the Award; provided, however, that in the case of book entry registration, a notation or other precautionary device may be used to denote such restrictions:

“THE SHARES OF STOCK EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE OR BOOK-ENTRY REGISTRATION ARE SUBJECT TO AND ARE TRANSFERABLE ONLY IN ACCORDANCE WITH THAT CERTAIN AWARD AGREEMENT DATED Grant Date UNDER THE DEVON ENERGY CORPORATION 2022 LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN. ANY ATTEMPTED TRANSFER OF THE SHARES OF STOCK EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE OR BOOK-ENTRY REGISTRATION IN VIOLATION OF SUCH AWARD AGREEMENT SHALL BE NULL AND VOID AND WITHOUT EFFECT. A COPY OF THE AWARD AGREEMENT MAY BE OBTAINED FROM THE SECRETARY OF DEVON ENERGY CORPORATION.”

5.
Delivery of Forfeited Shares. The Participant authorizes the Secretary to deliver to the Company any and all shares of Restricted Stock that are forfeited under the provisions of this Award Agreement.
6.
Employment. Nothing in the Plan or in this Award Agreement shall confer upon the Participant any right to continue in the employ of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliated Entities, or interfere in any way with the right to terminate the Participant’s employment at any time.
7.
Non-transferability of Award. The Participant shall not have the right to sell, assign, transfer, convey, dispose, pledge, hypothecate, burden, encumber or charge any Restricted Stock or any interest therein in any manner whatsoever.
8.
Notices. All notices or other communications relating to the Plan and this Award Agreement as it relates to the Participant shall be in writing and shall be delivered electronically, personally or mailed (U.S. mail) by the Company to the Participant at the then current address as maintained by the Company or such other address as the Participant may advise the Company in writing.
9.
Binding Effect; No Third-party Beneficiaries; Governing Law and Venue; Compliance with Law. This Award Agreement shall be (i) binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective heirs, successors and permitted assigns except as may be limited by the Plan, and (ii) governed by and construed under the laws of the State of Delaware. This Award Agreement shall not confer any rights or remedies upon any person other than the Company and the Participant and each of their respective heirs, representatives, successors and permitted assigns. The issuance of shares of Common Stock, if any, to the Participant pursuant to this Award Agreement is subject to any applicable taxes and other laws or regulations of the United States or of any state, municipality or other country having jurisdiction thereof. Any action arising out of, or relating to, any of the provisions of this Award Agreement shall be brought only in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Delaware, or if such court does not have jurisdiction or will not accept jurisdiction, in any court of general jurisdiction in Delaware, and the jurisdiction of such court in any such proceeding shall be exclusive.
10.
Company Policies. The Participant agrees that the Award, and the right to receive and/or retain any Vested Stock or cash payments covered by this Award, will be subject to any applicable clawback or recoupment policies, share trading policies and other policies that may be implemented from time to time by the Company’s Board of Directors, a duly authorized committee thereof or the Company, or as required by applicable law or any applicable securities exchange listings standards. By accepting this Award under the Plan, the Participant agrees and acknowledges that the Participant is obligated to cooperate with, and provide any and all assistance necessary to, the Company to recover or recoup any Award or amounts paid under the Plan subject to clawback pursuant to such

 

 

 


 

policy, law or standard. Such cooperation and assistance shall include, but is not limited to, executing, completing and submitting any documentation necessary to recover or recoup any Award or amounts paid pursuant to this Award.
11.
Withholding. The Company and the Participant shall comply with all federal and state laws and regulations respecting the required withholding, deposit and payment of any income, employment or other taxes relating to the Award (including Accrued Dividends). The Company shall withhold the employer’s minimum statutory withholding based upon minimum statutory withholding rates for federal and state purposes, or as otherwise approved by the Committee, including payroll taxes that are applicable to such supplemental taxable income. Any payment of required withholding taxes by the Participant in the form of Common Stock shall not be permitted if it would result in an accounting charge to the Company with respect to such shares used to pay such taxes unless otherwise approved by the Committee.
12.
Award Subject to Claims of Creditors. The Participant shall not have any interest in any particular assets of the Company, its parent, if applicable, or any Subsidiary or Affiliated Entity by reason of the right to earn an Award (including Accrued Dividends) under the Plan and this Award Agreement, and the Participant or any other person shall have only the rights of a general unsecured creditor of the Company, its parent, if applicable, or a Subsidiary or Affiliated Entity with respect to any rights under the Plan or this Award Agreement.
13.
Captions. The captions of specific provisions of this Award Agreement are for convenience and reference only, and in no way define, describe, extend or limit the scope of this Award Agreement or the intent of any provision hereof.
14.
Counterparts. This Award Agreement may be executed in any number of identical counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original for all purposes, but all of which taken together shall form one agreement.
15.
Conditions to Post-Retirement Vesting.
(a)
Notice of and Conditions to Post-Retirement Vesting. If the Participant is Post-Retirement Vesting Eligible, the Company shall, within a reasonable period of time prior to the Participant’s Date of Termination, notify the Participant that the Participant has the right, pursuant to this Section 15(a), to continue to vest following the Date of Termination in any unvested installments of Restricted Stock (each such unvested installment, an “Installment”). The Participant shall have the right to vest in such Installments of Restricted Stock, provided that the Participant executes and delivers to the Company, with respect to each such Installment, the following documentation: (i) a non-disclosure letter agreement, in the form attached as Exhibit A (a “Non‑Disclosure Agreement”) and (ii) a compliance certificate, in the form attached as Exhibit B (a “Compliance Certificate”) indicating the Participant’s full compliance with the Non-Disclosure Agreement. For each such Installment, (x) a Non-Disclosure Agreement shall be provided to the Company no later than March 31 of the year that immediately precedes the scheduled Vesting Date of such Installment or, with respect to the first Installment that is scheduled to occur following the Date of Termination, on or before the Date of Termination, and (y) a Compliance Certificate shall be provided to the Company no later than January 1 of the year in which the Vesting Date of such Installment is scheduled to occur. By way of illustration, if the Vesting Date of an Installment is scheduled to occur on February 1, a Non-Disclosure Agreement for such Installment would need to be provided to the Company by no later than March 31 of the preceding year; provided, however, that if such Installment is the first Installment scheduled to occur following the Date of Termination, a Non-Disclosure Agreement for such Installment would need to be provided on or before the Date of Termination. Further, under the foregoing illustration, a Compliance Certificate would be delivered by no later than January 1 of the year in which the Vesting Date of such Installment is scheduled to occur. Notwithstanding the foregoing and for the avoidance of doubt, at the Company’s election, the Participant may deliver a single Non-Disclosure Agreement and Compliance Certificate, as applicable, for each year to satisfy the Participant’s obligations under this Section and similar provisions in the Participant’s other equity award agreements with the Company.

 

 

 


 

(b)
Consequences of Failure to Satisfy Vesting Conditions. In the event that, with respect to any given Installment, the Participant fails to deliver either the respective Non-Disclosure Agreement or Compliance Certificate for such Installment on or before the date required for the delivery of such document (such failure, a “Non-Compliance Event”), the Participant shall not be entitled to vest in any unvested Installments that would vest from and after the date of the Non‑Compliance Event and the Company shall be authorized to take any and all such actions as are necessary to cause such unvested Restricted Stock to not vest and to terminate. The only remedy of the Company for failure to deliver a Non‑Disclosure Agreement or a Compliance Certificate shall be the failure to vest in, and cancellation of, any unvested Installments then held by the Participant.
16.
Amendment. Except as permitted by the Plan, this Award Agreement may not be amended, modified, terminated or otherwise altered except by the written consent of the Company and the Participant.
17.
Entire Agreement. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Plan and this Award Agreement constitute the entire agreement between the Participant and the Company and supersede any prior understandings, agreements, or representations by or between the parties, written or oral, to the extent they relate in any way to the subject matter of this Award Agreement.
18.
Section 83(b) Election. The Participant hereby acknowledges that the Participant has been informed that, with respect to the shares of Restricted Stock, the Participant may file an election with the Internal Revenue Service, within 30 days following the Date of Grant, electing pursuant to Section 83(b) of the Code (“Section 83(b)”) to be taxed currently on Fair Market Value (as defined in the Plan) of the shares of Restricted Stock on the Date of Grant, in which case any future appreciation in the shares of Common Stock covered by the Award will be taxed as capital gains. Absent such an election, ordinary income will be measured and recognized by the Participant at the time or times which the Restricted Stock vests. The Participant is strongly encouraged to seek the advice of the Participant’s tax consultants in connection with the advisability of the filing of the election under Section 83(b). A form of election under Section 83(b) may be obtained from the administrator of the Plan. The Participant acknowledges that it is not the Company’s, but rather the Participant’s sole responsibility to file the election under Section 83(b).
19.
Application of Section 409A of the Code. The Award covered by this Award Agreement is intended to be exempt from, or otherwise comply with the provisions of, Section 409A of the Code, and the regulations and other guidance promulgated thereunder (“409A”). Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Award Agreement or the Plan to the contrary, if the Award is subject to the provisions of 409A (and not exempt therefrom), the provisions of this Award Agreement and the Plan shall be administered, interpreted and construed in a manner necessary to comply with 409A (or disregarded to the extent such provision cannot be so administered, interpreted or construed). If any payments or benefits hereunder constitute non-conforming “deferred compensation” subject to taxation under 409A, the Participant agrees that the Company may, without the Participant’s consent, modify the Award Agreement to the extent and in the manner the Company deems necessary or advisable or take such other action or actions, including an amendment or action with retroactive effect, that the Company deems appropriate in order either to preclude any such payment or benefit from being deemed “deferred compensation” without the meaning of 409A or to provide such payment or benefits in a manner that complies with the provisions of 409A such that they will not be subject to the imposition of taxes and/or interest thereunder. If, at the time of the Participant’s separation from service (within the meaning of 409A), (A) the Participant is a specified employee (within the meaning of 409A and using the identification methodology selected by the Company from time to time) and (B) the Company makes a good faith determination that an amount payable hereunder constitutes deferred compensation (within the meaning of 409A) the settlement of which is required to be delayed pursuant to the six-month delay rule set forth in 409A in order to avoid taxes or penalties under 409A, then the Company shall not settle such amount on the otherwise scheduled settlement date, but shall instead settle it, without interest, within 30 days after such six-month period. Each payment under the Award shall be treated as a right to a separate payment. In no event shall the Participant, directly or indirectly, designate the calendar year of payment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company makes no representations and/or warranties with respect to compliance with 409A, and the Participant recognizes and acknowledges that 409A could potentially impose upon the Participant certain taxes and/or interest charges for which the Participant is and shall remain solely responsible.

EXHIBIT A

Form of Non-Disclosure Agreement

[Insert Date]

Devon Energy Corporation

333 West Sheridan Avenue

Oklahoma City, OK 73102-5015

Re: Non-Disclosure Agreement

Ladies and Gentlemen:

This letter agreement is entered between Devon Energy Corporation (together with its subsidiaries and affiliates, the “Company”) and the undersigned (the “Participant”) in connection with that certain Restricted Stock Award Agreement (the “Agreement”) dated _______________, 20___ between the Company and the Participant. All capitalized terms used in this letter agreement shall have the same meaning ascribed to them in the Agreement unless specifically denoted otherwise.

The Participant acknowledges that, during the course of and in connection with the employment relationship between the Participant and the Company, the Company provided and the Participant accepted access to the Company’s trade secrets and confidential and proprietary information, which included, without limitation, information pertaining to the Company’s finances, oil and gas properties and prospects, compensation structures, business and litigation strategies and future business plans and other information or material that is of special and unique value to the Company and that the Company maintains as confidential and does not disclose to the general public, whether through its annual report and/or filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission or otherwise (the “Confidential Information”).

The Participant acknowledges that his position with the Company was one of trust and confidence because of the access to the Confidential Information, requiring the Participant’s best efforts and utmost diligence to protect and maintain the confidentiality of the Confidential Information. Unless required by the Company or with the Company’s express written consent, the Participant will not, during the term of this letter agreement, directly or indirectly, disclose to others or use for his own benefit or the benefit of another any of the Confidential Information, whether or not the Confidential Information is acquired, learned, attained or developed by the Participant alone or in conjunction with others.

The Participant agrees that, due to his access to the Confidential Information, the Participant would inevitably use and/or disclose that Confidential Information in breach of his confidentiality and non-disclosure obligations if the Participant worked in certain capacities or engaged in certain activities for a period of time following his employment with the Company, specifically in a position that involves (i) responsibility and decision-making authority or input at the executive level regarding any subject or responsibility, (ii) decision-making responsibility or input at any management level in the Participant’s individual area of assignment with the Company, or (iii) responsibility and decision-making authority or input that otherwise allows the use of the Confidential Information (collectively referred to as the “Restricted Occupation”). Therefore, except with the prior written consent of the Company, during the term of this letter agreement, the Participant agrees not to be employed by, consult for or otherwise act on behalf of any person or entity in any capacity in which he would be involved, directly or indirectly, in a Restricted Occupation. The Participant acknowledges that this commitment is intended to protect the

 

 

 

 

 

 


 

Confidential Information and is not intended to be applied or interpreted as a covenant against competition.

The Participant further agrees that during the term of this letter agreement, the Participant will not, directly or indirectly on behalf of a person or entity or otherwise, (i) solicit any of the established customers of the Company or attempt to induce any of the established customers of the Company to cease doing business with the Company, or (ii) solicit any of the employees of the Company to cease employment with the Company.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this letter agreement is intended to conflict with the Defend Trade Secrets Act or create liability for disclosures of trade secrets that are expressly allowed by that statute. In particular, under the Defend Trade Secrets Act, the Participant will not be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret of the Company that is made (i) in confidence to a government official or to the Participant’s attorney solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law or (ii) in a complaint or other document that is filed under seal in a proceeding. In addition, if the Participant files a lawsuit for retaliation by the Company for reporting a suspected violation of law, the Participant may disclose the trade secret to the Participant’s attorney and use the trade secret information in the court proceeding if the Participant files any document containing the trade secret under seal and does not otherwise disclose the trade secret, except pursuant to court order. Further, nothing in this letter agreement or any other agreement or arrangement with the Company shall prohibit or restrict the Participant from making any voluntary disclosure of information or documents pertaining to violations of law to any governmental agency or legislative body, any self-regulatory organization, or the Legal Department of the Company without prior notice to the Company.

This letter agreement shall become effective upon execution by the Participant and the Company and shall terminate on March 31, 20___. [Note: Insert the year of the next scheduled Vesting Date of an Installment. For example, if the letter agreement is executed on March 31, 2018, the termination date inserted in the preceding sentence would be March 31, 2019.]

If you agree to the above terms and conditions, please execute a copy of this letter agreement below and return a copy to me.

DEVON ENERGY CORPORATION

2022 LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN

RESTRICTED STOCK AWARD AGREEMENT

 

 

THIS RESTRICTED STOCK AWARD AGREEMENT (this “Award Agreement”) is entered into as of Grant Date (the “Date of Grant”), by and between Devon Energy Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Participant Name (the “Participant”).

W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, the Company has previously adopted the Devon Energy Corporation 2022 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”);

WHEREAS, in connection with the Participant’s employment with the Company, the Company desires to award to the Participant Number of Shares Granted shares of the Company’s Common Stock under the Plan subject to the terms and conditions of this Award Agreement and the Plan; and

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual promises and covenants herein contained, the Participant and the Company agree as follows:

1.
The Plan. The Plan, a copy of which is attached hereto, is hereby incorporated by reference herein and made a part hereof for all purposes, and when taken with this Award Agreement shall govern the rights of the Participant and the Company with respect to the Award.
2.
Grant of Award. The Company hereby grants to the Participant an award (the “Award”) of Number of Shares Granted shares of the Company’s Common Stock (the “Restricted Stock”), on the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Plan.
3.
Terms of Award.
(a)
Escrow of Shares. A certificate or book-entry registration representing the Restricted Stock shall be issued in the name of the Participant and shall be escrowed with the Secretary subject to removal of the restrictions placed thereon or forfeiture pursuant to the terms of this Award Agreement.
(b)
Vesting.
(i)
25% of the shares of the Restricted Stock are scheduled to vest on each of the first four anniversary dates of the Date of Grant (each, a “Vesting Date”). Except as provided in this Section 3, if the Participant’s Date of Termination has not occurred as of a Vesting Date, then the Participant shall be entitled, subject to the applicable provisions of the Plan and this Award Agreement having been satisfied, to receive, on or within a reasonable time after the applicable Vesting Date, the shares scheduled to vest as of the applicable Vesting Date. The portion of the Restricted Stock that has vested pursuant to the terms of this Award Agreement shall be deemed “Vested Stock.”

 

 


 

(ii)
The Participant shall forfeit the unvested portion of the Award (including the underlying Restricted Stock and Accrued Dividends) upon the occurrence of the Participant’s Date of Termination unless the Award becomes vested under the circumstances described in paragraphs (iii), (iv), or (v) below.
(iii)
If (A) the Participant’s Date of Termination occurs under circumstances in which the Participant is entitled to a severance payment from the Company, a Subsidiary, or an Affiliated Entity under (1) the Participant’s employment agreement or severance agreement with the Company due to a termination of the Participant’s employment by the Company without “cause” or by the Participant for “good reason” in accordance with the Participant’s employment agreement or severance agreement or (2) the Devon Energy Corporation Severance Plan and (B) the Participant timely signs and returns to the Company a release of claims against the Company in a form prepared by the Company (the “Release”), the Restricted Stock shall become fully vested upon the date the Release becomes effective and the Restricted Stock shall be released within a reasonable time after the applicable Vesting Date. If the Participant fails to timely sign and return the Release to the Company or revokes the Release prior to the date the Release becomes effective, the unvested shares of Restricted Stock (and Accrued Dividends) subject to this Award Agreement shall be forfeited.
(iv)
The Restricted Stock shall become fully vested upon the Participant’s Date of Termination if the Participant’s Date of Termination occurs by reason of the Participant’s death. The Committee may, in its sole and absolute discretion, elect to vest all or a portion of the unvested Restricted Stock upon the Participant’s Date of Termination if the Participant’s Date of Termination occurs by reason of disability or upon other special circumstances (as determined by the Committee and permitted pursuant to the Plan).
(v)
If the Participant is Post-Retirement Vesting Eligible, the Participant shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions in Section 15, be eligible to vest in accordance with the Vesting Schedule above in Section 3(b), in the installments of the Restricted Stock that remain unvested on the Date of Termination. If (i) the Participant is Post-Retirement Vesting Eligible, (ii) the death of the Participant occurs following the Date of Termination, and (iii) no Non-Compliance Event has occurred prior to the date of the Participant’s death, then any installments of Restricted Stock that remain unvested on the date of the Participant’s death but in which the Participant was eligible to vest pursuant to this Section 3(b)(v) shall become fully vested upon the Participant’s death.
(vi)
If (1) the Award is eligible for vesting under the circumstances described in paragraphs (iii) (other than in connection with a Change in Control Event) or (v) above, and (2) the Participant’s Date of Termination occurs before the one-year anniversary of the Date of Grant, then, notwithstanding such provisions in paragraphs (iii) and (v) above, the number of shares of Restricted Stock that would have otherwise vested pursuant to such provisions will be pro-rated based on the number of days from the Date of Grant to the Date of Termination out of 365.
(c)
Voting Rights and Dividends. The Participant shall have all of the voting rights attributable to the shares of Restricted Stock. Any dividends declared and paid by the Company with respect to shares of Restricted Stock (the “Accrued Dividends”) shall not be paid to the Participant until such Restricted Stock becomes Vested Stock. Accrued Dividends shall be held by the Company as a general obligation of the Company and paid to the Participant reasonably promptly following the time the

 

 


 

underlying Restricted Stock becomes Vested Stock (but in no event later than March 15 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which such vesting occurs). Accordingly, Accrued Dividends shall be forfeited to the extent that the related Restricted Stock does not vest and is forfeited or cancelled. No interest shall be credited on Accrued Dividends.
(d)
Vested Stock - Removal of Restrictions. Upon Restricted Stock becoming Vested Stock, all restrictions shall be removed from the certificates or book-entry registrations and the Participant shall be provided a confirmation of the release of such Vested Stock, representing such Vested Stock as free and clear of all restrictions, except for any applicable securities laws restrictions. Reasonably promptly thereafter (but in no event later than March 15 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which such vesting occurs), the Participant shall receive a payment in the amount of all Accrued Dividends attributed to such Vested Stock without interest thereon.
4.
Legend. The shares of Restricted Stock covered by the Award shall be subject to the restrictions described in the following legend, which shall appear on any individual certificate or book-entry registration representing the Award; provided, however, that in the case of book entry registration, a notation or other precautionary device may be used to denote such restrictions:

“THE SHARES OF STOCK EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE OR BOOK-ENTRY REGISTRATION ARE SUBJECT TO AND ARE TRANSFERABLE ONLY IN ACCORDANCE WITH THAT CERTAIN AWARD AGREEMENT DATED Grant Date UNDER THE DEVON ENERGY CORPORATION 2022 LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN. ANY ATTEMPTED TRANSFER OF THE SHARES OF STOCK EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE OR BOOK-ENTRY REGISTRATION IN VIOLATION OF SUCH AWARD AGREEMENT SHALL BE NULL AND VOID AND WITHOUT EFFECT. A COPY OF THE AWARD AGREEMENT MAY BE OBTAINED FROM THE SECRETARY OF DEVON ENERGY CORPORATION.”

5.
Delivery of Forfeited Shares. The Participant authorizes the Secretary to deliver to the Company any and all shares of Restricted Stock that are forfeited under the provisions of this Award Agreement.
6.

7.

This Award Agreement shall not confer any rights or remedies upon any person other than the Company and the

 

 


 

Participant and each of their respective heirs, representatives, successors and permitted assigns. The issuance of shares of Common Stock, if any, to the Participant pursuant to this Award Agreement is subject to any applicable taxes and other laws or regulations of the United States or of any state, municipality or other country having jurisdiction thereof. Any action arising out of, or relating to, any of the provisions of this Award Agreement shall be brought only in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Delaware, or if such court does not have jurisdiction or will not accept jurisdiction, in any court of general jurisdiction in Delaware, and the jurisdiction of such court in any such proceeding shall be exclusive.
10.
Company Policies. The Participant agrees that the Award, and the right to receive and/or retain any Vested Stock or cash payments covered by this Award, will be subject to any applicable clawback or recoupment policies, share trading policies and other policies that may be implemented from time to time by the Company's Board of Directors, a duly authorized committee thereof or the Company, or as required by applicable law or any applicable securities exchange listings standards. By accepting this Award under the Plan, the Participant agrees and acknowledges that the Participant is obligated to cooperate with, and provide any and all assistance necessary to, the Company to recover or recoup any Award or amounts paid under the Plan subject to clawback pursuant to such policy, law or standard. Such cooperation and assistance shall include, but is not limited to, executing, completing and submitting any documentation necessary to recover or recoup any Award or amounts paid pursuant to this Award.
11.
Withholding. The Company and the Participant shall comply with all federal and state laws and regulations respecting the required withholding, deposit and payment of any income, employment or other taxes relating to the Award (including Accrued Dividends). The Company shall withhold the employer’s minimum statutory withholding based upon minimum statutory withholding rates for federal and state purposes, or as otherwise approved by the Committee, including payroll taxes that are applicable to such supplemental taxable income. Any payment of required withholding taxes by the Participant in the form of Common Stock shall not be permitted if it would result in an accounting charge to the Company with respect to such shares used to pay such taxes unless otherwise approved by the Committee.
12.
Award Subject to Claims of Creditors.

13.

14.
Counterparts. This Award Agreement may be executed in any number of identical counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original for all purposes, but all of which taken together shall form one agreement.
15.
Conditions to Post-Retirement Vesting.
(a)
Notice of and Conditions to Post-Retirement Vesting. If the Participant is Post-Retirement Vesting Eligible, the Company shall, within a reasonable period of time prior to the

 

 


 

Participant’s Date of Termination, notify the Participant that the Participant has the right, pursuant to this Section 15(a), to continue to vest following the Date of Termination in any unvested installments of Restricted Stock (each such unvested installment, an “Installment”). The Participant shall have the right to vest in such Installments of Restricted Stock, provided that the Participant executes and delivers to the Company, with respect to each such Installment, the following documentation: (i) a non-disclosure letter agreement, in the form attached as Exhibit A (a “Non‑Disclosure Agreement”) and (ii) a compliance certificate, in the form attached as Exhibit B (a “Compliance Certificate”) indicating the Participant’s full compliance with the Non-Disclosure Agreement. For each such Installment, (x) a Non-Disclosure Agreement shall be provided to the Company no later than March 31 of the year that immediately precedes the scheduled Vesting Date of such Installment or, with respect to the first Installment that is scheduled to occur following the Date of Termination, on or before the Date of Termination, and (y) a Compliance Certificate shall be provided to the Company no later than January 1 of the year in which the Vesting Date of such Installment is scheduled to occur. By way of illustration, if the Vesting Date of an Installment is scheduled to occur on February 1, a Non-Disclosure Agreement for such Installment would need to be provided to the Company by no later than March 31 of the preceding year; provided, however, that if such Installment is the first Installment scheduled to occur following the Date of Termination, a Non-Disclosure Agreement for such Installment would need to be provided on or before the Date of Termination. Further, under the foregoing illustration, a Compliance Certificate would be delivered by no later than January 1 of the year in which the Vesting Date of such Installment is scheduled to occur. Notwithstanding the foregoing and for the avoidance of doubt, at the Company’s election, the Participant may deliver a single Non-Disclosure Agreement and Compliance Certificate, as applicable, for each year to satisfy the Participant’s obligations under this Section and similar provisions in the Participant’s other equity award agreements with the Company.
(b)
Consequences of Failure to Satisfy Vesting Conditions. In the event that, with respect to any given Installment, the Participant fails to deliver either the respective Non-Disclosure Agreement or Compliance Certificate for such Installment on or before the date required for the delivery of such document (such failure, a “Non-Compliance Event”), the Participant shall not be entitled to vest in any unvested Installments that would vest from and after the date of the Non‑Compliance Event and the Company shall be authorized to take any and all such actions as are necessary to cause such unvested Restricted Stock to not vest and to terminate. The only remedy of the Company for failure to deliver a Non‑Disclosure Agreement or a Compliance Certificate shall be the failure to vest in, and cancellation of, any unvested Installments then held by the Participant.
16.
Amendment. Except as permitted by the Plan, this Award Agreement may not be amended, modified, terminated or otherwise altered except by the written consent of the Company and the Participant.
17.
Entire Agreement. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Plan and this Award Agreement constitute the entire agreement between the Participant and the Company and supersede any prior understandings, agreements, or representations by or between the parties, written or oral, to the extent they relate in any way to the subject matter of this Award Agreement.
18.
Section 83(b) Election. The Participant hereby acknowledges that the Participant has been informed that, with respect to the shares of Restricted Stock, the Participant may file an election with the Internal Revenue Service, within 30 days following the Date of Grant, electing pursuant to Section 83(b) of the Code (“Section 83(b)”) to be taxed currently on Fair Market Value (as defined in the Plan) of the shares of Restricted Stock on the Date of Grant, in which case any future appreciation in the shares of

 

 


 

Common Stock covered by the Award will be taxed as capital gains. Absent such an election, ordinary income will be measured and recognized by the Participant at the time or times which the Restricted Stock vests. The Participant is strongly encouraged to seek the advice of the Participant’s tax consultants in connection with the advisability of the filing of the election under Section 83(b). A form of election under Section 83(b) may be obtained from the administrator of the Plan. The Participant acknowledges that it is not the Company’s, but rather the Participant’s sole responsibility to file the election under Section 83(b).
19.
Application of Section 409A of the Code. The Award covered by this Award Agreement is intended to be exempt from, or otherwise comply with the provisions of, Section 409A of the Code, and the regulations and other guidance promulgated thereunder (“409A”). Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Award Agreement or the Plan to the contrary, if the Award is subject to the provisions of 409A (and not exempt therefrom), the provisions of this Award Agreement and the Plan shall be administered, interpreted and construed in a manner necessary to comply with 409A (or disregarded to the extent such provision cannot be so administered, interpreted or construed). If any payments or benefits hereunder constitute non-conforming “deferred compensation” subject to taxation under 409A, the Participant agrees that the Company may, without the Participant’s consent, modify the Award Agreement to the extent and in the manner the Company deems necessary or advisable or take such other action or actions, including an amendment or action with retroactive effect, that the Company deems appropriate in order either to preclude any such payment or benefit from being deemed “deferred compensation” without the meaning of 409A or to provide such payment or benefits in a manner that complies with the provisions of 409A such that they will not be subject to the imposition of taxes and/or interest thereunder. If, at the time of the Participant’s separation from service (within the meaning of 409A), (A) the Participant is a specified employee (within the meaning of 409A and using the identification methodology selected by the Company from time to time) and (B) the Company makes a good faith determination that an amount payable hereunder constitutes deferred compensation (within the meaning of 409A) the settlement of which is required to be delayed pursuant to the six-month delay rule set forth in 409A in order to avoid taxes or penalties under 409A, then the Company shall not settle such amount on the otherwise scheduled settlement date, but shall instead settle it, without interest, within 30 days after such six-month period. Each payment under the Award shall be treated as a right to a separate payment. In no event shall the Participant, directly or indirectly, designate the calendar year of payment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company makes no representations and/or warranties with respect to compliance with 409A, and the Participant recognizes and acknowledges that 409A could potentially impose upon the Participant certain taxes and/or interest charges for which the Participant is and shall remain solely responsible.

Form of Non-Disclosure Agreement

[Insert Date]

Devon Energy Corporation

333 West Sheridan Avenue

Oklahoma City, OK 73102-5015

Re: Non-Disclosure Agreement

Ladies and Gentlemen:

This letter agreement is entered between Devon Energy Corporation (together with its subsidiaries and affiliates, the “Company”) and the undersigned (the “Participant”) in connection with that certain Restricted Stock Award Agreement (the “Agreement”) dated _______________, _____ between the Company and the Participant. All capitalized terms used in this letter agreement shall have the same meaning ascribed to them in the Agreement unless specifically denoted otherwise.

The Participant acknowledges that, during the course of and in connection with the employment relationship between the Participant and the Company, the Company provided and the Participant accepted access to the Company’s trade secrets and confidential and proprietary information, which included, without limitation, information pertaining to the Company’s finances, oil and gas properties and prospects, compensation structures, business and litigation strategies and future business plans and other information or material that is of special and unique value to the Company and that the Company maintains as confidential and does not disclose to the general public, whether through its annual report and/or filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission or otherwise (the “Confidential Information”).

The Participant acknowledges that his position with the Company was one of trust and confidence because of the access to the Confidential Information, requiring the Participant’s best efforts and utmost diligence to protect and maintain the confidentiality of the Confidential Information. Unless required by the Company or with the Company’s express written consent, the Participant will not, during the term of this letter agreement, directly or indirectly, disclose to others or use for his own benefit or the benefit of another any of the Confidential Information, whether or not the Confidential Information is acquired, learned, attained or developed by the Participant alone or in conjunction with others.

The Participant agrees that, due to his access to the Confidential Information, the Participant would inevitably use and/or disclose that Confidential Information in breach of his confidentiality and non-disclosure obligations if the Participant worked in certain capacities or engaged in certain activities for a period of time following his employment with the Company, specifically in a position that involves (i) responsibility and decision-making authority or input at the executive level regarding any subject or responsibility, (ii) decision-making responsibility or input at any management level in the Participant’s individual area of assignment with the Company, or (iii) responsibility and decision-making authority or input that otherwise allows the use of the Confidential Information (collectively referred to as the “Restricted Occupation”). Therefore, except with the prior written consent of the Company, during the term of this letter agreement, the Participant agrees not to be employed by, consult for or otherwise act on behalf of any person or entity in any capacity in which he would be involved, directly or indirectly, in a Restricted Occupation. The Participant acknowledges that this commitment is intended to protect the Confidential Information and is not intended to be applied or interpreted as a covenant against competition.

The Participant further agrees that during the term of this letter agreement, the Participant will not, directly or indirectly on behalf of a person or entity or otherwise, (i) solicit any of the established customers of the Company or attempt to induce any of the established customers of the Company to cease

 

 


 

doing business with the Company, or (ii) solicit any of the employees of the Company to cease employment with the Company.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this letter agreement is intended to conflict with the Defend Trade Secrets Act or create liability for disclosures of trade secrets that are expressly allowed by that statute. In particular, under the Defend Trade Secrets Act, the Participant will not be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret of the Company that is made (i) in confidence to a government official or to the Participant’s attorney solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law or (ii) in a complaint or other document that is filed under seal in a proceeding. In addition, if the Participant files a lawsuit for retaliation by the Company for reporting a suspected violation of law, the Participant may disclose the trade secret to the Participant’s attorney and use the trade secret information in the court proceeding if the Participant files any document containing the trade secret under seal and does not otherwise disclose the trade secret, except pursuant to court order. Further, nothing in this letter agreement or any other agreement or arrangement with the Company shall prohibit or restrict the Participant from making any voluntary disclosure of information or documents pertaining to violations of law to any governmental agency or legislative body, any self-regulatory organization, or the Legal Department of the Company without prior notice to the Company.

This letter agreement shall become effective upon execution by the Participant and the Company and shall terminate on March 31, 20__. [Note: Insert the year of the next scheduled Vesting Date of an Installment. For example, if the letter agreement is executed on March 31, 2018, the termination date inserted in the preceding sentence would be March 31, 2019.]

If you agree to the above terms and conditions, please execute a copy of this letter agreement below and return a copy to me.

W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, the Company has previously adopted the Devon Energy Corporation 2022 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”);

WHEREAS, in connection with the Participant’s employment with the Company, the Company desires to award to the Participant #QuantityGranted# Performance Share Units subject to the terms and conditions of this Award Agreement and the Plan; and

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual promises and covenants herein contained, the Participant and the Company agree as follows:

1.
The Plan. The Plan, a copy of which is attached hereto, is hereby incorporated by reference herein and made a part hereof for all purposes, and when taken with this Award Agreement shall govern the rights of the Participant and the Company with respect to the Award.
2.
Grant of Award. The Company hereby grants to the Participant an award (the “Award”) of #QuantityGranted# Performance Share Units, on the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Plan. Each Performance Share Unit that vests entitles the Participant to one share of Common Stock.
3.
Terms of Award.
(a)
Performance Share Unit Account. The Company shall establish a bookkeeping account on its records for the Participant and shall credit the Participant’s Performance Share Units to the bookkeeping account.
(b)
General Vesting Terms. Except as provided in this Section 3, the number of Performance Share Units which actually vest under this Award Agreement shall be calculated based on the attainment and certification of the Performance Goal described on Schedule A as of the end of the Performance Period. Any Performance Share Units that do not vest as of the end of the Performance Period shall be forfeited as of the end of the Performance Period. Except as specifically provided below in this Section 3, in the event of a termination of the Participant’s employment prior to the end of the Performance Period, all unvested Performance Share Units will be immediately forfeited.
(c)
Vesting After Date of Termination. If a Participant’s Date of Termination occurs by reason of disability or other special circumstances (as determined by the Committee), and the Committee determines, in its sole and absolute discretion, that the Performance Share Units shall continue to vest following the Participant’s Date of Termination, the Participant shall vest in the maximum number of Performance Share Units in which the Participant could vest, based on the process described in Section

 

 


 

3(b), as if the Participant remained in the employ of the Company through the end of the Performance Period.
(d)
Post-Retirement Vesting. If the Participant is Post-Retirement Vesting Eligible, the Participant shall vest in the maximum number of Performance Share Units in which the Participant could vest, based on the process described in Section 3(b), as if the Participant remained in the employ of the Company through the end of the Performance Period, provided that, such continued vesting shall be subject to the satisfaction of the conditions in Section 13, and the Participant shall only be eligible to vest in accordance with the process described in Section 3(b) with respect to the percentage of unvested Performance Share Units set forth in the table below.

(e)
Entitlement to Severance Under Other Company Arrangements. Performance Share Units shall continue to vest and the Participant shall vest in the maximum number of Performance Share Units in which the Participant could vest, based on the process described in Section 3(b), as if the Participant remained in the employ of the Company through the end of the Performance Period following the Participant’s Date of Termination that occurs under circumstances in which the Participant is entitled to a severance payment from the Company, a Subsidiary, or an Affiliated Entity under (A) the Participant’s employment agreement or severance agreement with the Company due to a termination of the Participant’s employment by the Company without “cause” or by the Participant for “good reason” in accordance with the Participant’s employment agreement or severance agreement or (B) the Devon Energy Corporation Severance Plan, provided that for a severance related termination, the Participant timely signs and returns to the Company a release of claims against the Company in a form prepared by the Company (the “Release”) and such Release becomes effective. If the Participant fails to timely sign and return the Release to the Company or revokes the Release prior to the date the Release becomes effective, the Performance Share Units (and Dividend Equivalents) subject to this Award Agreement shall be forfeited.

If (1) the Award is eligible for vesting under the circumstances described in sub-sections (d) or (e) (other than in connection with a Change in Control Event) above, and (2) the Participant’s Date of Termination occurs before the one-year anniversary of the Date of Grant, then, notwithstanding such provisions in sub-sections (d) and (e) above, the number of Performance Share Units that would have otherwise vested pursuant to such provisions will be pro-rated based on the number of days from the Date of Grant to the Date of Termination out of 365.

(f)
Death. A Participant shall become fully and immediately vested in the Award at the target level of performance for the Performance Period in the event of the Participant’s death.

 

 


 

(g)
Voting Rights and Dividend Equivalents. The Participant shall not have any voting rights with respect to the Performance Share Units. The Participant shall be credited with dividend equivalents (“Dividend Equivalents”) with respect to each outstanding Performance Share Unit to the extent that any dividends or other distributions (in cash or other property) are declared and/or paid with respect to the shares of Common Stock after the commencement of the Performance Period (other than distributions pursuant to a share split, for which an adjustment shall be made as described in Section 10.1 of the Plan). Dividend Equivalents shall be credited to the bookkeeping account established on the records of the Company for the Participant and will vest subject to the same conditions as are applicable to the underlying Performance Share Units, and Dividend Equivalents will be paid in cash to the Participant reasonably promptly following such vesting (but in no event later than March 15 of the calendar year following the year in which such vesting occurs). Accordingly, Dividend Equivalents shall be forfeited to the extent that the Performance Share Units do not vest and are forfeited or cancelled. No interest shall be credited on Dividend Equivalents.
(h)
Conversion of Performance Share Units; Delivery of Performance Share Units.
(i)
Except in the event of the Participant’s death or the occurrence of certain Change in Control Events as described under the Plan, the Committee shall, within a reasonably practicable time following the last day of the Performance Period, certify the extent, if any, to which the Performance Goal has been achieved with respect to the Performance Period and the number of Performance Share Units, if any, earned upon attainment of the Performance Goal. Such certification shall be final, conclusive and binding on the Participant, and on all other persons, to the maximum extent permitted by law. Payment in respect of vested Performance Share Units shall be made promptly following the Committee’s certification of the attainment of the Performance Goal and the determination of the number of vested Performance Share Units, but in any event, no later than March 15 of the year following the year in which the Performance Period ends.
(ii)
In the event of the Participant’s death, payment in respect of earned and vested Performance Share Units shall be made as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter.
(iii)
Notwithstanding any provision of this Award Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall the timing of the Participant’s execution of the Compliance Certificate, directly or indirectly, result in the Participant designating the calendar year of payment, and if a payment that is subject to execution of the Compliance Certificate could be made in more than one taxable year, payment shall be made in the later taxable year.
(iv)
All payments in respect of earned and vested Performance Share Units shall be made in freely transferable shares of Common Stock. No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued pursuant to this Award, and any fractional share resulting from any calculation made in accordance with the terms of this Award Agreement shall be rounded down to the next whole share.
4.
Employment. Nothing in the Plan or in this Award Agreement shall confer upon the Participant any right to continue in the employ of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliated Entities, or interfere in any way with the right to terminate the Participant’s employment at any time.
5.
Non-transferability of Award. The Participant shall not have the right to sell, assign, transfer, convey, dispose, pledge, hypothecate, burden, encumber or charge any Performance Share Unit or any interest therein in any manner whatsoever.

Any action arising out of, or relating to, any of the provisions of this Award Agreement shall be brought only in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Delaware, or if such court does not have jurisdiction or will not accept jurisdiction, in any court of general jurisdiction in Delaware, and the jurisdiction of such court in any such proceeding shall be exclusive.
8.
Company Policies. The Participant agrees that the Award, and the right to receive and/or retain any vested Performance Share Units or payments covered by this Award, will be subject to any applicable clawback or recoupment policies, share trading policies and other policies that may be implemented from time to time by the Company’s Board of Directors, a duly authorized committee thereof or the Company, or as required by applicable law or any applicable securities exchange listings standards. By accepting this Award under the Plan, the Participant agrees and acknowledges that the Participant is obligated to cooperate with, and provide any and all assistance necessary to, the Company to recover or recoup any Award or amounts paid under the Plan subject to clawback pursuant to such policy, law or standard. Such cooperation and assistance shall include, but is not limited to, executing, completing and submitting any documentation necessary to recover or recoup any Award or amounts paid pursuant to this Award.
9.
Withholding. The Company and the Participant shall comply with all federal and state laws and regulations respecting the required withholding, deposit and payment of any income, employment or other taxes relating to the Award (including Dividend Equivalents). The Company shall withhold the employer’s minimum statutory withholding based upon minimum statutory withholding rates for federal and state purposes, or as otherwise approved by the Committee, including payroll taxes that are applicable to such supplemental taxable income. Any payment of required withholding taxes by the Participant in the form of Common Stock shall not be permitted if it would result in an accounting charge to the Company with respect to such shares used to pay such taxes unless otherwise approved by the Committee.
10.
Award Subject to Claims of Creditors. The Participant shall not have any interest in any particular assets of the Company, its parent, if applicable, or any Subsidiary or Affiliated Entity by reason of the right to earn an Award (including Dividend Equivalents) under the Plan and this Award Agreement, and the Participant or any other person shall have only the rights of a general unsecured creditor of the Company, its parent, if applicable, or a Subsidiary or Affiliated Entity with respect to any rights under the Plan or this Award Agreement.

Conditions to Post-Retirement Vesting.
(a)
Notice of and Conditions to Post-Retirement Vesting. If the Participant is Post-Retirement Vesting Eligible, the Company shall, within a reasonable period of time prior to the Participant’s Date of Termination, notify the Participant that the Participant has the right, pursuant to this Section 13(a), to continue to vest following the Date of Termination in any unvested Performance Share Units provided that the Participant executes and delivers to the Company the following documentation: (i) a non-disclosure letter agreement, in the form attached as Exhibit A (a “Non‑Disclosure Agreement”), and (ii) a compliance certificate, in the form attached as Exhibit B (a “Compliance Certificate”), indicating the Participant’s full compliance with the Non-Disclosure Agreement, in each case, no later than the time(s) specified in similar provisions of the Participant’s other equity award agreements with the Company or as may otherwise be required by the Committee. Notwithstanding the foregoing and for the avoidance of doubt, at the Company’s election, the Participant may deliver a single Non-Disclosure Agreement and Compliance Certificate, as applicable, for each year to satisfy the Participant’s obligations under this Section and similar provisions in the Participant’s other equity award agreements with the Company.
(b)
Consequences of Failure to Satisfy Vesting Conditions. In the event that, the Participant fails to deliver either the respective Non-Disclosure Agreement or Compliance Certificate on or before the date required for the delivery of such document, the Participant shall not be entitled to vest in any unvested Performance Share Units and the unvested Performance Share Units subject to this Award Agreement shall be forfeited. The only remedy of the Company for failure to deliver a Non‑Disclosure Agreement or a Compliance Certificate shall be the Participant’s failure to vest in, and forfeiture of, any unvested Performance Share Units.
14.
Amendment. Except as permitted by the Plan, this Award Agreement may not be amended, modified, terminated or otherwise altered except by the written consent of the Company and the Participant.
15.
Entire Agreement. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Plan and this Award Agreement constitute the entire agreement between the Participant and the Company and supersede any prior understandings, agreements, or representations by or between the parties, written or oral, to the extent they relate in any way to the subject matter of this Award Agreement.
16.
Application of Section 409A of the Code. The Award covered by this Award Agreement is intended to be exempt from, or otherwise comply with the provisions of, Section 409A of the Code, and the regulations and other guidance promulgated thereunder (“409A”). Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Award Agreement or the Plan to the contrary, if the Award is subject to the provisions of 409A (and not exempt therefrom), the provisions of this Award Agreement and the Plan shall be administered, interpreted and construed in a manner necessary to comply with 409A (or disregarded to the extent such provision cannot be so administered, interpreted or construed). If any payments or benefits hereunder constitute non-conforming “deferred compensation” subject to taxation under 409A,

 

 


 

the Participant agrees that the Company may, without the Participant’s consent, modify the Award Agreement to the extent and in the manner the Company deems necessary or advisable or take such other action or actions, including an amendment or action with retroactive effect, that the Company deems appropriate in order either to preclude any such payment or benefit from being deemed “deferred compensation” without the meaning of 409A or to provide such payment or benefits in a manner that complies with the provisions of 409A such that they will not be subject to the imposition of taxes and/or interest thereunder. If, at the time of the Participant’s separation from service (within the meaning of 409A), (A) the Participant is a specified employee (within the meaning of 409A and using the identification methodology selected by the Company from time to time) and (B) the Company makes a good faith determination that an amount payable hereunder constitutes deferred compensation (within the meaning of 409A) the settlement of which is required to be delayed pursuant to the six-month delay rule set forth in 409A in order to avoid taxes or penalties under 409A, then the Company shall not settle such amount on the otherwise scheduled settlement date, but shall instead settle it, without interest, within 30 days after such six-month period. Each payment under the Award shall be treated as a right to a separate payment. In no event shall the Participant, directly or indirectly, designate the calendar year of payment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company makes no representations and/or warranties with respect to compliance with 409A, and the Participant recognizes and acknowledges that 409A could potentially impose upon the Participant certain taxes and/or interest charges for which the Participant is and shall remain solely responsible.

Exhibit 10.4

SCHEDULE A

 

PERFORMANCE GOAL, PERFORMANCE PERIOD

1.
Performance Period. The maximum number of Performance Share Units in which Participant can vest pursuant to the Award shall be calculated based on the Performance Goal over a three-year Performance Period that begins January 1, 2025 and ends December 31, 2027 (the "Performance Period").
2.
Performance Goal. The Performance Goal is based on total shareholder return (“TSR”). TSR shall mean the rate of return stockholders receive through stock price changes and the assumed reinvestment of dividends over the Performance Period. Vesting will be based on the Company’s TSR ranking relative to the TSR ranking of the Peer Companies (identified in Section 3(d) below). At the end of the Performance Period, the TSR for the Company, and for each Peer Company, shall be determined pursuant to the following formula:

TSR=

(Closing Average Share Value - Opening Average Share Value) + Reinvested Dividends

 

Opening Average Share Value

 

The result shall be rounded to the nearest hundredth of one percent (.01%).

(a)
The term “Closing Average Share Value” means the average value of the common stock for the 30 trading days ending on the last day of the Performance Period, which shall be calculated as follows: (i) determine the closing price of the common stock on each trading date during 30-day period and (ii) average the amounts so determined for the 30-day period.
(b)
The term “Opening Average Share Value” means the average value of the common stock for the 30 trading days preceding the start of the Performance Period, which shall be calculated as follows: (i) determine the closing price of the common stock on each trading date during the 30-day period and (ii) average the amounts so determined for the 30-day period.
(c)
“Reinvested Dividends” shall be calculated by multiplying (i) the aggregate number of shares (including fractional shares) that could have been purchased during the Performance Period had each cash dividend paid on a single share during that period been immediately reinvested in additional shares (or fractional shares) at the closing selling price per share on the applicable ex-dividend date by (ii) the Closing Average Share Value.
(d)
Each of the foregoing amounts shall be equitably adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations and other similar events affecting the shares in question without the issuer’s receipt of consideration.
3.
Vesting Schedule. The Performance Share Units will vest pursuant to the Award based on the Company’s relative TSR ranking in respect of the Performance Period as compared to the TSR ranking of the Peer Companies, in accordance with the following schedule:

(a)
In the event TSR is positive for the Performance Period, the maximum number of Performance Share Units that can vest for the Performance Period may range from 0% to 200% of the target Award, with the actual percentage to be determined on the basis of the percentile level at which the Committee certifies that the Performance Goal has been attained in relation to the corresponding Performance Goal for Peer Companies for the Performance Period; provided however, that the maximum number of Performance Share Units that may become earned and vested during such Performance Period will be calculated as follows: #QuantityGranted# x 200%. The Committee retains sole discretion to reduce the vesting percentage (and thus the maximum number of Performance Share Units that may vest), including reduction to zero, without regard to the performance of the Company’s TSR relative to the TSR of the Peer Companies.
(b)
In the event the Company’s TSR is negative for the Performance Period, the maximum number of Performance Share Units that can vest for the Performance Period may range from 0% to 100% of the target Award, with the actual percentage to be determined on the basis of the percentile level at which the Committee certifies that the Performance Goal has been attained in relation to the corresponding Performance Goal for Peer Companies for the Performance Period; provided however, that the maximum number of Performance Share Units that may become earned and vested during such Performance Period will be calculated as follows: #QuantityGranted# x 100%. The Committee retains sole discretion to reduce the vesting percentage (and thus the maximum number of Performance Share Units that may vest), including reduction to zero, without regard to the performance of the Company’s TSR relative to the TSR of the Peer Companies.
(c)
If the Company’s final TSR value is equal to the TSR value of a Peer Company, the Committee shall assign the Company the higher ranking.
(d)
In addition to the Company, the Peer Companies are APA Corporation, ConocoPhillips, Coterra Energy Inc., Diamondback Energy, Inc., EOG Resources, Inc., Expand Energy Corporation,

 

 

 

 

 

 


 

Occidental Petroleum Corporation, Ovintiv Inc., Permian Resources Corporation, the S&P 500 Index, and the SPDR® S&P® Oil & Gas Exploration & Production ETF.
(e)
The Peer Companies will be subject to change as follows:
(i)
In the event of a merger, acquisition or business combination transaction of a Peer Company, in which the Peer Company is the surviving entity and remains publicly traded, the surviving entity shall remain a Peer Company. Any entity involved in the transaction that is not the surviving company shall no longer be a Peer Company.
(ii)
If a Peer Company ceases to be a publicly traded company at any time during the Performance Period, for any reason, such company shall remain a Peer Company but shall be deemed to have a TSR of negative 100% (-100%).
4.
Pro-rata vesting. In the event the pro-ration terms of Section 3(e) of the Award Agreement apply, then the number of Performance Share Units that vest pursuant to the Award based on Sections 1-3 of this Schedule A will be pro-rated based on the number of days from the Date of Grant to the Date of Termination out of 365.
5.
General Vesting Terms. Any fractional Performance Share Unit resulting from the vesting of the Performance Share Units in accordance with the Award Agreement shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number. Any portion of the Performance Share Units that does not vest as of the end of the Performance Period shall be forfeited as of the end of the Performance Period.

Re: Non-Disclosure Agreement

Ladies and Gentlemen:

This letter agreement is entered between Devon Energy Corporation (together with its subsidiaries and affiliates, the “Company”) and the undersigned (the “Participant”) in connection with that certain Performance Share Unit Award Agreement (the “Agreement”) dated _______________, _____ between the Company and the Participant. All capitalized terms used in this letter agreement shall have the same meaning ascribed to them in the Agreement unless specifically denoted otherwise.

The Participant acknowledges that, during the course of and in connection with the employment relationship between the Participant and the Company, the Company provided and the Participant accepted access to the Company’s trade secrets and confidential and proprietary information, which included, without limitation, information pertaining to the Company’s finances, oil and gas properties and prospects, compensation structures, business and litigation strategies and future business plans and other information or material that is of special and unique value to the Company and that the Company maintains as confidential and does not disclose to the general public, whether through its annual report and/or filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission or otherwise (the “Confidential Information”).

The Participant acknowledges that his position with the Company was one of trust and confidence because of the access to the Confidential Information, requiring the Participant’s best efforts and utmost diligence to protect and maintain the confidentiality of the Confidential Information. Unless required by the Company or with the Company’s express written consent, the Participant will not, during the term of this letter agreement, directly or indirectly, disclose to others or use for his own benefit or the benefit of another any of the Confidential Information, whether or not the Confidential Information is acquired, learned, attained or developed by the Participant alone or in conjunction with others.

The Participant agrees that, due to his access to the Confidential Information, the Participant would inevitably use and/or disclose that Confidential Information in breach of his confidentiality and non-disclosure obligations if the Participant worked in certain capacities or engaged in certain activities for a period of time following his employment with the Company, specifically in a position that involves (i) responsibility and decision-making authority or input at the executive level regarding any subject or responsibility, (ii) decision-making responsibility or input at any management level in the Participant’s individual area of assignment with the Company, or (iii) responsibility and decision-making authority or input that otherwise allows the use of the Confidential Information (collectively referred to as the “Restricted Occupation”). Therefore, except with the prior written consent of the Company, during the term of this letter agreement, the Participant agrees not to be employed by, consult for or otherwise act on behalf of any person or entity in any capacity in which he would be involved, directly or indirectly, in a Restricted Occupation. The Participant acknowledges that this

 

 

 

 

 


 

commitment is intended to protect the Confidential Information and is not intended to be applied or interpreted as a covenant against competition.

The Participant further agrees that during the term of this letter agreement, the Participant will not, directly or indirectly on behalf of a person or entity or otherwise, (i) solicit any of the established customers of the Company or attempt to induce any of the established customers of the Company to cease doing business with the Company, or (ii) solicit any of the employees of the Company to cease employment with the Company.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this letter agreement is intended to conflict with the Defend Trade Secrets Act or create liability for disclosures of trade secrets that are expressly allowed by that statute. In particular, under the Defend Trade Secrets Act, the Participant will not be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret of the Company that is made (i) in confidence to a government official or to the Participant’s attorney solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law or (ii) in a complaint or other document that is filed under seal in a proceeding. In addition, if the Participant files a lawsuit for retaliation by the Company for reporting a suspected violation of law, the Participant may disclose the trade secret to the Participant’s attorney and use the trade secret information in the court proceeding if the Participant files any document containing the trade secret under seal and does not otherwise disclose the trade secret, except pursuant to court order. Further, nothing in this letter agreement or any other agreement or arrangement with the Company shall prohibit or restrict the Participant from making any voluntary disclosure of information or documents pertaining to violations of law to any governmental agency or legislative body, any self-regulatory organization, or the Legal Department of the Company without prior notice to the Company.

This letter agreement shall become effective upon execution by the Participant and the Company and shall terminate on December 31, 20__. [Note: Insert date that is the end of the applicable Performance Period.]

If you agree to the above terms and conditions, please execute a copy of this letter agreement below and return a copy to me.

W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, the Company has previously adopted the Devon Energy Corporation 2022 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”);

WHEREAS, in connection with the Participant’s employment with the Company, the Company desires to award to the Participant #QuantityGranted# Performance Share Units subject to the terms and conditions of this Award Agreement and the Plan; and

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual promises and covenants herein contained, the Participant and the Company agree as follows:

1.
The Plan. The Plan, a copy of which is attached hereto, is hereby incorporated by reference herein and made a part hereof for all purposes, and when taken with this Award Agreement shall govern the rights of the Participant and the Company with respect to the Award.
2.
Grant of Award. The Company hereby grants to the Participant an award (the “Award”) of #QuantityGranted# Performance Share Units, on the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Plan. Each Performance Share Unit that vests entitles the Participant to one share of Common Stock.
3.
Terms of Award.
(a)
Performance Share Unit Account. The Company shall establish a bookkeeping account on its records for the Participant and shall credit the Participant’s Performance Share Units to the bookkeeping account.
(b)
General Vesting Terms. Except as provided in this Section 3, the number of Performance Share Units which actually vest under this Award Agreement shall be calculated based on the attainment and certification of the Performance Goal described on Schedule A as of the end of the Performance Period. Any Performance Share Units that do not vest as of the end of the Performance Period shall be forfeited as of the end of the Performance Period. Except as specifically provided below in this Section 3, in the event of a termination of the Participant’s employment prior to the end of the Performance Period, all unvested Performance Share Units will be immediately forfeited.
(c)
Vesting After Date of Termination. If a Participant’s Date of Termination occurs by reason of disability or other special circumstances (as determined by the Committee), and the Committee determines, in its sole and absolute discretion, that the Performance Share Units shall continue to vest following the Participant’s Date of Termination, the Participant shall vest in the maximum number of Performance Share Units in which the Participant could vest, based on the process described in Section 3(b), as if the Participant remained in the employ of the Company through the end of the Performance Period.

 

 


 

(d)
Post-Retirement Vesting. If the Participant is Post-Retirement Vesting Eligible, the Performance Share Units shall continue to vest based on the process described in Section 3(b), as if the Participant remained in the employ of the Company through the end of the Performance Period, subject to satisfaction of the conditions in Section 13.
(e)
Entitlement to Severance Under Other Company Arrangements. Performance Share Units shall continue to vest and the Participant shall vest in the maximum number of Performance Share Units in which the Participant could vest, based on the process described in Section 3(b), as if the Participant remained in the employ of the Company through the end of the Performance Period following the Participant’s Date of Termination that occurs under circumstances in which the Participant is entitled to a severance payment from the Company, a Subsidiary, or an Affiliated Entity under (A) the Participant’s employment agreement or severance agreement with the Company due to a termination of the Participant’s employment by the Company without “cause” or by the Participant for “good reason” in accordance with the Participant’s employment agreement or severance agreement or (B) the Devon Energy Corporation Severance Plan, provided that for a severance related termination, the Participant timely signs and returns to the Company a release of claims against the Company in a form prepared by the Company (the “Release”) and such Release becomes effective. If the Participant fails to timely sign and return the Release to the Company or revokes the Release prior to the date the Release becomes effective, the Performance Share Units (and Dividend Equivalents) subject to this Award Agreement shall be forfeited.

If (1) the Award is eligible for vesting under the circumstances described in sub-sections (d) or (e) (other than in connection with a Change in Control Event) above, and (2) the Participant’s Date of Termination occurs before the one-year anniversary of the Date of Grant, then, notwithstanding such provisions in sub-sections (d) and (e) above, the number of Performance Share Units that would have otherwise vested pursuant to such provisions will be pro-rated based on the number of days from the Date of Grant to the Date of Termination out of 365.

10.

(a)
Notice of and Conditions to Post-Retirement Vesting.

Participant’s full compliance with the Non-Disclosure Agreement, in each case, no later than the time(s) specified in similar provisions of the Participant’s other equity award agreements with the Company or as may otherwise be required by the Committee. Notwithstanding the foregoing and for the avoidance of doubt, at the Company’s election, the Participant may deliver a single Non-Disclosure Agreement and Compliance Certificate, as applicable, for each year to satisfy the Participant’s obligations under this Section and similar provisions in the Participant’s other equity award agreements with the Company.
(b)
Consequences of Failure to Satisfy Vesting Conditions. In the event that, the Participant fails to deliver either the respective Non-Disclosure Agreement or Compliance Certificate on or before the date required for the delivery of such document, the Participant shall not be entitled to vest in any unvested Performance Share Units and the unvested Performance Share Units subject to this Award Agreement shall be forfeited. The only remedy of the Company for failure to deliver a Non‑Disclosure Agreement or a Compliance Certificate shall be the Participant’s failure to vest in, and forfeiture of, any unvested Performance Share Units.
14.
Amendment. Except as permitted by the Plan, this Award Agreement may not be amended, modified, terminated or otherwise altered except by the written consent of the Company and the Participant.
15.
Entire Agreement. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Plan and this Award Agreement constitute the entire agreement between the Participant and the Company and supersede any prior understandings, agreements, or representations by or between the parties, written or oral, to the extent they relate in any way to the subject matter of this Award Agreement.
16.
Application of Section 409A of the Code. The Award covered by this Award Agreement is intended to be exempt from, or otherwise comply with the provisions of, Section 409A of the Code, and the regulations and other guidance promulgated thereunder (“409A”). Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Award Agreement or the Plan to the contrary, if the Award is subject to the provisions of 409A (and not exempt therefrom), the provisions of this Award Agreement and the Plan shall be administered, interpreted and construed in a manner necessary to comply with 409A (or disregarded to the extent such provision cannot be so administered, interpreted or construed). If any payments or benefits hereunder constitute non-conforming “deferred compensation” subject to taxation under 409A, the Participant agrees that the Company may, without the Participant’s consent, modify the Award Agreement to the extent and in the manner the Company deems necessary or advisable or take such other action or actions, including an amendment or action with retroactive effect, that the Company deems appropriate in order either to preclude any such payment or benefit from being deemed “deferred compensation” without the meaning of 409A or to provide such payment or benefits in a manner that complies with the provisions of 409A such that they will not be subject to the imposition of taxes and/or interest thereunder. If, at the time of the Participant’s separation from service (within the meaning of 409A), (A) the Participant is a specified employee (within the meaning of 409A and using the identification methodology selected by the Company from time to time) and (B) the Company makes a good faith determination that an amount payable hereunder constitutes deferred compensation (within the meaning of 409A) the settlement of which is required to be delayed pursuant to the six-month delay rule set forth in 409A in order to avoid taxes or penalties under 409A, then the Company shall not settle such amount on the otherwise scheduled settlement date, but shall instead settle it, without interest, within 30 days after such six-month period. Each payment under the Award shall be treated as a right to a separate payment. In no event shall the Participant, directly or indirectly, designate the calendar year of payment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company makes no representations and/or warranties with

 

 


 

respect to compliance with 409A, and the Participant recognizes and acknowledges that 409A could potentially impose upon the Participant certain taxes and/or interest charges for which the Participant is and shall remain solely responsible.

Exhibit 10.5

SCHEDULE A

 

PERFORMANCE GOAL, PERFORMANCE PERIOD

1.
Performance Period. The maximum number of Performance Share Units in which Participant can vest pursuant to the Award shall be calculated based on the Performance Goal over a three-year Performance Period that begins January 1, 2025 and ends December 31, 2027 (the "Performance Period").
2.
Performance Goal. The Performance Goal is based on total shareholder return (“TSR”). TSR shall mean the rate of return stockholders receive through stock price changes and the assumed reinvestment of dividends over the Performance Period. Vesting will be based on the Company’s TSR ranking relative to the TSR ranking of the Peer Companies (identified in Section 3(d) below). At the end of the Performance Period, the TSR for the Company, and for each Peer Company, shall be determined pursuant to the following formula:

TSR=

(Closing Average Share Value - Opening Average Share Value) + Reinvested Dividends

 

Opening Average Share Value

 

The result shall be rounded to the nearest hundredth of one percent (.01%).

(a)
The term “Closing Average Share Value” means the average value of the common stock for the 30 trading days ending on the last day of the Performance Period, which shall be calculated as follows: (i) determine the closing price of the common stock on each trading date during 30-day period and (ii) average the amounts so determined for the 30-day period.
(b)
The term “Opening Average Share Value” means the average value of the common stock for the 30 trading days preceding the start of the Performance Period, which shall be calculated as follows: (i) determine the closing price of the common stock on each trading date during the 30-day period and (ii) average the amounts so determined for the 30-day period.
(c)
“Reinvested Dividends” shall be calculated by multiplying (i) the aggregate number of shares (including fractional shares) that could have been purchased during the Performance Period had each cash dividend paid on a single share during that period been immediately reinvested in additional shares (or fractional shares) at the closing selling price per share on the applicable ex-dividend date by (ii) the Closing Average Share Value.
(d)
Each of the foregoing amounts shall be equitably adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations and other similar events affecting the shares in question without the issuer’s receipt of consideration.
3.
Vesting Schedule. The Performance Share Units will vest pursuant to the Award, based on the Company’s relative TSR ranking in respect of the Performance Period as compared to the TSR ranking of the Peer Companies, in accordance with the following schedule:

(a)
In the event TSR is positive for the Performance Period, the maximum number of Performance Share Units that can vest for the Performance Period may range from 0% to 200% of the target Award, with the actual percentage to be determined on the basis of the percentile level at which the Committee certifies that the Performance Goal has been attained in relation to the corresponding Performance Goal for Peer Companies for the Performance Period; provided however, that the maximum number of Performance Share Units that may become earned and vested during such Performance Period will be calculated as follows: #QuantityGranted# x 200%. The Committee retains sole discretion to reduce the vesting percentage (and thus the maximum number of Performance Share Units that may vest), including reduction to zero, without regard to the performance of the Company’s TSR relative to the TSR of the Peer Companies.
(b)
In the event the Company’s TSR is negative for the Performance Period, the maximum number of Performance Share Units that can vest for the Performance Period may range from 0% to 100% of the target Award, with the actual percentage to be determined on the basis of the percentile level at which the Committee certifies that the Performance Goal has been attained in relation to the corresponding Performance Goal for Peer Companies for the Performance Period; provided however, that the maximum number of Performance Share Units that may become earned and vested during such Performance Period will be calculated as follows: #QuantityGranted# x 100%. The Committee retains sole discretion to reduce the vesting percentage (and thus the maximum number of Performance Share Units that may vest), including reduction to zero, without regard to the performance of the Company’s TSR relative to the TSR of the Peer Companies.
(c)
If the Company’s final TSR value is equal to the TSR value of a Peer Company, the Committee shall assign the Company the higher ranking.
(d)
In addition to the Company, the Peer Companies are APA Corporation, ConocoPhillips, Coterra Energy Inc., Diamondback Energy, Inc., EOG Resources, Inc., Expand Energy Corporation, Occidental Petroleum Corporation, Ovintiv Inc., Permian Resources Corporation, the S&P 500 Index, and the SPDR® S&P® Oil & Gas Exploration & Production ETF.
(e)
The Peer Companies will be subject to change as follows:

 

 


 

(i)
In the event of a merger, acquisition or business combination transaction of a Peer Company, in which the Peer Company is the surviving entity and remains publicly traded, the surviving entity shall remain a Peer Company. Any entity involved in the transaction that is not the surviving company shall no longer be a Peer Company.
(ii)
If a Peer Company ceases to be a publicly traded company at any time during the Performance Period, for any reason, such company shall remain a Peer Company but shall be deemed to have a TSR of negative 100% (-100%).
4.
Pro-Rata Vesting. In the event the pro-ration terms of Section 3(e) of the Award Agreement apply, then the number of Performance Share Units that vest pursuant to the Award based on Sections 1-3 of this Schedule A will be pro-rated based on the number of days from the Date of Grant to the Date of Termination out of 365.
5.
General Vesting Terms. Any fractional Performance Share Unit resulting from the vesting of the Performance Share Units in accordance with the Award Agreement shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number. Any portion of the Performance Share Units that does not vest as of the end of the Performance Period shall be forfeited as of the end of the Performance Period.

Form of Non-Disclosure Agreement

[Insert Date]

Devon Energy Corporation

333 West Sheridan Avenue

Oklahoma City, OK 73102-5015

Re: Non-Disclosure Agreement

Ladies and Gentlemen:

This letter agreement is entered between Devon Energy Corporation (together with its subsidiaries and affiliates, the “Company”) and the undersigned (the “Participant”) in connection with that certain Performance Share Unit Award Agreement (the “Agreement”) dated _______________, _____ between the Company and the Participant. All capitalized terms used in this letter agreement shall have the same meaning ascribed to them in the Agreement unless specifically denoted otherwise.

The Participant acknowledges that, during the course of and in connection with the employment relationship between the Participant and the Company, the Company provided and the Participant accepted access to the Company’s trade secrets and confidential and proprietary information, which included, without limitation, information pertaining to the Company’s finances, oil and gas properties and prospects, compensation structures, business and litigation strategies and future business plans and other information or material that is of special and unique value to the Company and that the Company maintains as confidential and does not disclose to the general public, whether through its annual report and/or filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission or otherwise (the “Confidential Information”).

The Participant acknowledges that his position with the Company was one of trust and confidence because of the access to the Confidential Information, requiring the Participant’s best efforts and utmost diligence to protect and maintain the confidentiality of the Confidential Information. Unless required by the Company or with the Company’s express written consent, the Participant will not, during the term of this letter agreement, directly or indirectly, disclose to others or use for his own benefit or the benefit of another any of the Confidential Information, whether or not the Confidential Information is acquired, learned, attained or developed by the Participant alone or in conjunction with others.

The Participant agrees that, due to his access to the Confidential Information, the Participant would inevitably use and/or disclose that Confidential Information in breach of his confidentiality and non-disclosure obligations if the Participant worked in certain capacities or engaged in certain activities for a period of time following his employment with the Company, specifically in a position that involves (i) responsibility and decision-making authority or input at the executive level regarding any subject or responsibility, (ii) decision-making responsibility or input at any management level in the Participant’s individual area of assignment with the Company, or (iii) responsibility and decision-making authority or input that otherwise allows the use of the Confidential Information (collectively referred to as the “Restricted Occupation”). Therefore, except with the prior written consent of the Company, during the term of this letter agreement, the Participant agrees not to be employed by, consult for or otherwise act on behalf of any person or entity in any capacity in which he would be involved, directly or indirectly, in a Restricted Occupation. The Participant acknowledges that this commitment is intended to protect the Confidential Information and is not intended to be applied or interpreted as a covenant against competition.

 

 


 

The Participant further agrees that during the term of this letter agreement, the Participant will not, directly or indirectly on behalf of a person or entity or otherwise, (i) solicit any of the established customers of the Company or attempt to induce any of the established customers of the Company to cease doing business with the Company, or (ii) solicit any of the employees of the Company to cease employment with the Company.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this letter agreement is intended to conflict with the Defend Trade Secrets Act or create liability for disclosures of trade secrets that are expressly allowed by that statute. In particular, under the Defend Trade Secrets Act, the Participant will not be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret of the Company that is made (i) in confidence to a government official or to the Participant’s attorney solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law or (ii) in a complaint or other document that is filed under seal in a proceeding. In addition, if the Participant files a lawsuit for retaliation by the Company for reporting a suspected violation of law, the Participant may disclose the trade secret to the Participant’s attorney and use the trade secret information in the court proceeding if the Participant files any document containing the trade secret under seal and does not otherwise disclose the trade secret, except pursuant to court order. Further, nothing in this letter agreement or any other agreement or arrangement with the Company shall prohibit or restrict the Participant from making any voluntary disclosure of information or documents pertaining to violations of law to any governmental agency or legislative body, any self-regulatory organization, or the Legal Department of the Company without prior notice to the Company.

This letter agreement shall become effective upon execution by the Participant and the Company and shall terminate on December 31, 20__. [Note: Insert date that is the end of the applicable Performance Period.]

 

If you agree to the above terms and conditions, please execute a copy of this letter agreement below and return a copy to me.
