(the &#147;exchange offers&#148;) by Devon Energy Corporation, a Delaware corporation (&#147;Devon,&#148; the &#147;Company,&#148; &#147;we,&#148; &#147;us,&#148; &#147;our,&#148; the &#147;Issuer&#148; or the &#147;Registrant&#148;), to exchange
all outstanding unregistered Restricted Notes (as defined below) for an equal principal amount of the respective series of the Company&#146;s 8.250% Notes due 2023, 5.250% Notes due 2024, 5.250% Notes due 2027, 5.875% Notes due 2028 and 4.500% Notes
due 2030 (collectively, the &#147;Registered Notes&#148;) the offers of which have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the &#147;Securities Act&#148;). </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Company issued the unregistered 8.250% Notes due 2023 (CUSIP No. 25179M AW3 AND U0856A AA7), 5.250% Notes due 2024 (CUSIP No. 25179M AX1 AND U0856A AB5),
5.250% Notes due 2027 (CUSIP No. 25179M AY9 AND U0856A AC3), 5.875% Notes due 2028 (CUSIP No. 25179M AZ6 AND U0856A AD1) and 4.500% Notes due 2030 (CUSIP No. 25179M BA0 AND U0856A AE9) (collectively, the &#147;Restricted Notes&#148;) on June&nbsp;9,
2021 in private offers pursuant to which such notes were exchanged for notes of the Company&#146;s subsidiary, WPX Energy, Inc. (&#147;WPX&#148;). </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Each of
the exchange offers expires at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on December 20, 2021, unless the Company extends one or more offers. You may withdraw tenders of Restricted Notes at any time prior to the expiration of the relevant exchange offer. The
exchange offers are not subject to any condition other than that they will not violate applicable law or interpretations of the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the &#147;SEC&#148;) and that no proceedings with respect to the
exchange offers have been instituted or threatened in any court or by any governmental agency. The exchange offers are not conditioned upon any minimum aggregate principal amount of Restricted Notes being tendered for exchange. None of the exchange
offers is conditioned on the consummation of any of the other exchange offers. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Principal Terms of the Registered Notes </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The terms of the Registered Notes to be issued in the exchange offers are substantially identical in all material respects to the terms of the Restricted Notes,
except that the Registered Notes will not be subject to restrictions on transfer or to any increase in annual interest rate for failure to comply with the Registration Rights Agreement (as defined herein). No public market currently exists for the
Registered Notes. The Company does not intend to list the Registered Notes on any securities exchange or to apply for quotation in any automated dealer quotation system, and, therefore, no active public market is anticipated. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Registered Notes, like the Restricted Notes, will be unsecured, unsubordinated obligations of the Company and will rank equally in right of payment with all
of the Company&#146;s existing and future unsecured, unsubordinated indebtedness. </P> <P STYLE="font-size:6pt;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt">&nbsp;</P><center>

broker-dealer that receives Registered Notes for its own account pursuant to the exchange offers must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of such Registered Notes. The letter of transmittal states that, by so
acknowledging and by delivering a prospectus, a broker-dealer will not be deemed to admit that it is an &#147;underwriter&#148; within the meaning of the Securities Act. </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>This prospectus, as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, may be used by a broker-dealer in connection with resales of Registered Notes
received in exchange for Restricted Notes that were acquired by such broker-dealer as a result of market-making or other trading activities. The Company has agreed that, for a period of up to 180 days after the expiration date of the applicable
exchange offer, if requested by one or more such broker-dealers, the Company will amend or supplement this prospectus in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of any Registered Notes by any such broker-dealers. See &#147;Plan of
Distribution.&#148; </B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>None of the SEC, any state securities commission or other regulatory agency has approved or disapproved of the Registered Notes

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">If you do not exchange your Restricted Notes for Registered Notes in the exchange offers, you will continue to be subject to the restrictions on transfer of
your Restricted Notes described in the legend on your Restricted Notes and we will not be required to offer another opportunity for you to exchange your Restricted Notes for registered notes, except in limited circumstances. The restrictions on
transfer of your Restricted Notes arise because we issued the Restricted Notes under exemptions from, or in transactions not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. In general, you may
offer or sell the Restricted Notes only if they are registered under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or are offered and sold under an exemption from these requirements. We do not intend to register the Restricted Notes under
the Securities Act. We may in the future seek to acquire untendered Restricted Notes in the open market or privately negotiated transactions, through subsequent exchange offers or otherwise. We have no present plans to acquire any Restricted Notes
that are not tendered in the exchange offers or to file a registration statement to permit resales of any untendered Restricted Notes. To the extent Restricted Notes are tendered and accepted in the exchange offers, the trading market, if any, for
the remaining Restricted Notes would likely be adversely affected. See &#147;Terms of the Exchange Offers&#151;Consequences of Failure to Exchange&#148; for a discussion of the possible consequences of failing to exchange your Restricted Notes. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Because we anticipate that most holders of the Restricted Notes will elect to exchange their Restricted Notes, we expect that the liquidity of the market for
any Restricted Notes remaining after the completion of the exchange offers will be substantially limited. Any Restricted Notes tendered and exchanged in the exchange offers will reduce the aggregate principal amount of the Restricted Notes of the
applicable series outstanding. Following the exchange offers, if you do not tender your Restricted Notes you generally will not have any further registration rights, and your Restricted Notes will continue to be subject to certain transfer
restrictions. Accordingly, the liquidity of the market for the Restricted Notes could be adversely affected. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>You may find it difficult to sell your

because an active trading market for the Registered Notes may not develop. There is no existing trading market for the Registered Notes. We do not intend to apply for listing or quotation of the Registered Notes on any exchange, so we do not know
the extent to which investor interest will lead to the development of a trading market or how liquid that market might be. As a result, the market price of the Registered Notes, as well as your ability to sell the Registered Notes, could be
adversely affected. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Broker-dealers or noteholders may become subject to the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities

dealer managers and solicitation agents entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with respect to the Restricted Notes on June&nbsp;9, 2021. Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, we agreed, among other things, to use commercially
reasonable efforts to (1)&nbsp;file a registration statement on an appropriate registration form with respect to a registered offer to exchange each series of Restricted Notes for Registered Notes, with terms substantially identical in all material
respects to such series of Restricted Notes (except that the Registered Notes will not contain terms with respect to transfer restrictions or any increase in annual interest rate) and (2)&nbsp;cause the registration statement to be declared
effective under the Securities Act on or before June&nbsp;9, 2022. In furtherance of the foregoing, we have filed with the SEC a registration statement on Form <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">S-4</FONT>
<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">(File&nbsp;No.&nbsp;333-260961)</FONT> with respect to the exchange offers and the Registered Notes. We agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to complete the exchange offer for each series of notes no later
than 60 days after the registration statement is declared effective by the SEC. If applicable law or applicable interpretations of the staff of the SEC do not permit the Company to effect the exchange offers, or if the exchange offers are not
consummated for any reason prior to the later of June&nbsp;9, 2022 and the date on which, under certain circumstances, any dealer manager and solicitation agent so requests, the Company will be required to use commercially reasonable efforts to file
a shelf registration statement under the Securities Act which would cover resales of the Restricted Notes. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">After the SEC declares this exchange offer
registration statement effective, we will offer the Registered Notes in return for the Restricted Notes. Each of the exchange offers will remain open for at least 20 business days (or longer if required by applicable law) after the date we
electronically deliver notice of such exchange offer to the holders of the applicable Restricted Notes. For each Restricted Note surrendered to us pursuant to an exchange offer, the holder of the Restricted Note will receive a Registered Note having
a principal amount equal to that of the surrendered Restricted Note. Interest on each Registered Note will accrue from the last interest payment date on which interest was paid on the Restricted Note surrendered in exchange therefor. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Under existing SEC interpretations, Registered Notes acquired in the exchange offers by holders of Restricted Notes will be freely transferable without
further registration under the Securities Act if the holder of the Registered Notes is acquiring the Registered Notes in the ordinary course of its business, that it has no arrangement or understanding to participate in the distribution of the
Registered Notes and that it is not an affiliate of the Company, as such terms are interpreted by the SEC; however, broker-dealers (&#147;participating broker-dealers&#148;) receiving Registered Notes in a registered exchange offer will also have a
prospectus delivery requirement with respect to resales of such Registered Notes. The SEC has taken the position that participating broker-dealers may fulfill their prospectus delivery requirements with respect to Registered Notes (other than a
resale of an unsold allotment from the original sale of the Restricted Notes) with the prospectus contained in the exchange offer registration statement relating to such Registered Notes. </P>

up to 180 days after the expiration date of the exchange offers, if requested by one or more such broker-dealers, we will amend or supplement this prospectus in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of any Registered Notes by any such

Registration Rights Agreement with respect to the Restricted Notes. In the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company agreed, among other things, for the benefit of the holders of the Restricted Notes to use commercially reasonable efforts to
(1)&nbsp;file a registration statement on an appropriate registration form with respect to a registered offer to exchange each series of Restricted Notes for Registered Notes, with terms substantially identical in all material respects to such
series of Restricted Notes (except that the Registered Notes will not contain terms with respect to transfer restrictions or any increase in annual interest rate) and (2)&nbsp;cause the registration statement to be declared effective under the
Securities Act by June&nbsp;9, 2022. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">If the SEC declares the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part effective, the Company will
offer the Registered Notes in exchange for the Restricted Notes. Each of the exchange offers will remain open for at least 20 business days (or longer if required by applicable law) after the date we electronically deliver notice of such exchange
offer to the holders of the applicable Restricted Notes. For each Restricted Note surrendered to the Company under the exchange offers, the holders of such Restricted Note will receive a Registered Note of such series of equal principal amount.
Interest on each Registered Note will accrue from the last interest payment date on which interest was paid on the Restricted Note surrendered in exchange therefor. A holder of registrable securities that participates in the exchange offers will be
required to make certain representations to Devon. Devon will use commercially reasonable efforts to complete the exchange offers not later than 60 days after the registration statement becomes effective. </P>

Notes will be freely transferable after the exchange offers without further registration under the Securities Act, except that any broker-dealer that participates in the exchange offers must deliver a prospectus meeting the requirements of the
Securities Act when it resells the Registered Notes. In addition, under applicable interpretations of the staff of the SEC, Devon&#146;s affiliates will not be permitted to exchange their Restricted Notes for Registered Notes in the exchange offers.
</P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Devon will agree to make available, during the period required by the Securities Act, a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act for use

interest at the rate set forth in &#147;Description of the Notes&#148; with respect to such series of Restricted Notes and be subject to all the terms and conditions specified in the Indenture, including transfer restrictions, but will not retain
any rights under the Registration Rights Agreement (including with respect to increases in annual interest rate described below) after the consummation of the exchange offers. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In the event that Devon determines that the exchange offers may not be completed because they would violate any applicable law or applicable interpretations
of the staff of the SEC or, if the exchange offers are not for any other reason completed prior to the later of June&nbsp;9, 2022 and the date on which, under certain circumstances, any holder so requests, Devon will use commercially reasonable
efforts to file and to have become effective a shelf registration statement relating to resales of the Restricted Notes and to keep that shelf registration statement effective until the date that the Restricted Notes cease to be &#147;registrable
securities&#148; (as defined below). Devon will, in the event of such a shelf registration, provide to each participating holder of Restricted Notes copies of a prospectus, notify each participating holder of Restricted Notes when the shelf
registration statement has become effective and take certain other actions to permit resales of the Restricted Notes. A holder of registrable securities that sells Restricted Notes under the shelf registration statement generally will be required to

pursuant to the exchange offers, as of the date hereof. This discussion does not address specific tax considerations that may be relevant to particular persons in light of their individual circumstances (including, for example, entities treated as
partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes or partners or members therein, banks or other financial institutions, broker-dealers, insurance companies, regulated investment companies, <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">tax-exempt</FONT>
entities, common trust funds, controlled foreign corporations, dealers in securities or currencies, and persons in special situations, such as those who hold notes as part of a straddle, synthetic security, conversion transaction, or other
integrated investment comprising notes and one or more other investments). In addition, this discussion does not describe any tax considerations arising under U.S. federal gift, estate or other tax laws, or under the tax laws of any state, local or
foreign jurisdiction. This discussion is based upon the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, the Treasury Department regulations promulgated thereunder, and administrative and judicial interpretations thereof, all as of the date hereof and all
of which are subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect. Each holder is urged to consult its tax advisor regarding the U.S. federal, state, local and <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-U.S.</FONT> income and other tax considerations
relating to the exchange of Restricted Notes for Registered Notes and relating to the acquisition, ownership and disposition of the Registered Notes. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The
exchange of an Restricted Note for a Registered Note pursuant to the exchange offers will not constitute a &#147;significant modification&#148; of the Restricted Note for U.S. federal income tax purposes and, accordingly, the Registered Note
received by a holder will be treated as a continuation of the Restricted Note in the hands of such holder. As a result, there will be no U.S. federal income tax consequences to a holder who exchanges a Restricted Note for a Registered Note pursuant
to the exchange offers and any such holder will have the same adjusted tax basis and holding period in the Registered Note as it had in the Restricted Note immediately before the exchange. A holder who does not exchange its Restricted Notes for
Registered Notes pursuant to the exchange offers will not recognize any gain or loss, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, upon consummation of the exchange offers. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Each broker-dealer that receives Registered Notes for its own account pursuant to the exchange offers must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus in
connection with any resale of such Registered Notes. This prospectus, as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, may be used by a broker-dealer in connection with resales of Registered Notes received in exchange for Restricted Notes
that were acquired by such broker-dealer as a result of market-making or other trading activities. The Company has agreed that, for a period of up to 180 days after the expiration date of the exchange offers, if requested by one or more such
broker-dealers, the Company will amend or supplement this prospectus in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of any Registered Notes by any such broker-dealers. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Company will not receive any proceeds from any sale of Registered Notes by broker-dealers. Registered Notes received by broker-dealers for their own
account pursuant to the exchange offers may be sold from time to time in one or more transactions in the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">over-the-counter</FONT></FONT> market, in negotiated transactions, through the
writing of options on the Registered Notes or a combination of such methods of resale, at market prices prevailing at the time of resale, at prices related to such prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices. Any such resale may be made
directly to purchasers or to or through brokers or dealers who may receive compensation in the form of commissions or concessions from any such broker-dealer or the purchasers of any such Registered Notes. Any broker-dealer that resells Registered
Notes that were received by it for its own account pursuant to the exchange offers, and any broker or dealer that participates in a distribution of such Registered Notes may be deemed to be an &#147;underwriter&#148; within the meaning of the
Securities Act, and any profit on any such resale of Registered Notes and any commissions or concessions received by any such persons may be deemed to be underwriting compensation under the Securities Act. The letter of transmittal states that, by
acknowledging that it will deliver and by delivering a prospectus, a broker-dealer will not be deemed to admit that it is an &#147;underwriter&#148; within the meaning of the Securities Act. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">For a period of 180 days after the expiration time of the exchange offers, the Company will promptly send additional copies of this prospectus and any
amendment or supplement to this prospectus to any broker-dealer that requests such documents in the letter of transmittal. The Company has agreed to pay certain expenses incident to the exchange offers (including, in certain circumstances, the
expenses of one counsel for the holders of the Registered Notes) other than commissions or concessions of any brokers or dealers and will indemnify the holders of the Registered Notes (including any broker-dealers) against certain liabilities
pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, including liabilities under the Securities Act. </P>
