<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">A Delaware corporation formed in 1971 and publicly held since 1988, Devon is 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 five core areas: the Delaware Basin, Eagle Ford, Anadarko Basin, Williston Basin and Powder River Basin. Our asset base is
underpinned by premium acreage in the economic core of the Delaware Basin, and our diverse, <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">top-tier</FONT> resource plays provide a deep inventory of opportunities for years to come. Our principal and administrative
offices are located at 333 West Sheridan Avenue, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma 73102-5015. Our telephone number at that location is (405) <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">235-3611.</FONT> </P>

Mill Acquisition </I></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As recently announced, on July&nbsp;8, 2024, we, together with one of our subsidiaries, agreed to acquire Grayson
Mill Intermediate HoldCo II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (&#147;GM II&#148;), and Grayson Mill Intermediate HoldCo III, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (together with GM II, &#147;Grayson Mill&#148;), whose assets comprise
the Williston Basin business of Grayson Mill Energy, for (i) $3.25&nbsp;billion in cash and (ii) 37,210,292 shares of Devon common stock, par value $0.10 per share (the &#147;common stock&#148;), in each case subject to various purchase price
adjustments. We expect the acquisition of Grayson Mill (the &#147;Grayson Mill Acquisition&#148;) to close during the third quarter of 2024, subject to certain closing conditions. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Grayson Mill Acquisition is expected to efficiently expand our oil production and operating scale in the Williston Basin, where Grayson
Mill operates approximately 307,000 net acres. During the three-month period ended March&nbsp;31, 2024, Grayson Mill&#146;s total production volume from the Williston Basin was approximately 108,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day, 55% of which
consisted of oil. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We intend to use the net proceeds of this offering to finance a portion of the cash consideration component of the
Grayson Mill Acquisition. However, this offering is not contingent on the consummation of that acquisition. For additional information, see &#147;Use of Proceeds.&#148; Nevertheless, if we do not complete the Grayson Mill Acquisition on or before
the Outside Date, or if the Purchase Agreement for the Grayson Mill Acquisition is terminated prior to such date, we will be required to redeem all outstanding notes at a special mandatory redemption price of 101% of the aggregate principal amount
thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest from and including the date of initial issuance, or the most recent date to which interest has been paid, whichever is later, to but not including the Special Mandatory Redemption Date. See the
&#147;Description of the Notes &#151; Special Mandatory Redemption&#148; section in this prospectus supplement. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Delayed Draw Term Loans </I></P>

and administrative pronouncements of the IRS, in each case in effect as of the date hereof. These authorities may change or be subject to differing interpretations. Any such change or differing interpretation may be applied, possibly with
retroactive effect, in a manner that could adversely affect a Holder. We have not sought and will not seek any opinion of counsel or rulings from the Internal Revenue Service (&#147;IRS&#148;) regarding the matters discussed below. There can be no
assurance the IRS or a court will not take a contrary position to that discussed below regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and disposition of the notes. </P>

underwriting discounts, will be approximately $&#8195;&#8195;&#8195;&#8195;. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In order to facilitate the offering of the notes, the
underwriters may engage in transactions that stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the prices of the notes. Specifically, the underwriters may over-allot in connection with the offering, creating a short position in the notes for their own
accounts. In addition, to cover short positions or to stabilize the price of the notes, the underwriters may bid for, and purchase, the notes in the open market. Finally, the underwriters may reclaim selling concessions allowed to a particular
underwriter or dealer for distributing the notes in the offering if the underwriter or dealer repurchases previously distributed notes in transactions to cover short positions, in stabilization transactions or otherwise. Any of these activities may
stabilize or maintain the market price of the notes above independent market levels. The underwriters are not required to engage in these activities and may end any of these activities at any time. These transactions may be effected in the <FONT
STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">over-the-counter</FONT></FONT> market or otherwise. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The underwriters may also
impose a penalty bid. This occurs when a particular underwriter repays to the underwriters a portion of the underwriting discount received by it because the representatives have repurchased shares sold by or for the account of such underwriter in
stabilizing or short covering transactions. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We have agreed to indemnify the several underwriters against certain liabilities, including
liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or to contribute to payments the underwriters may be required to make in respect of those liabilities. </P>

their respective affiliates are full service financial institutions engaged in various activities, which may include securities trading, commercial and investment banking, financial advisory, investment management, investment research, principal
investment, hedging, financing and brokerage activities. Certain of the underwriters and their respective affiliates have, from time to time, performed, and may in the future perform, various financial advisory and investment banking services for
Devon, for which they may receive customary fees and expenses. In particular, affiliates of the underwriters are parties to and lenders under our term loan and revolving credit facilities. Our term loan and revolving credit facilities were
negotiated on an arm&#146;s length basis and contain customary terms pursuant to which the lenders receive customary fees. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In the
ordinary course of their various business activities, the underwriters and their respective affiliates have made or held, and may in the future make or hold, a broad array of investments including serving as counterparties to certain derivative and
hedging arrangements, and may have actively traded, and, in the future may actively trade, debt and equity securities (or related derivative securities), and financial instruments (including bank loans) for their own account and for the accounts of
their customers and may have in the past and at any time in the future hold long and short positions in such securities and instruments. Such investment and securities activities may have involved, and in the future may involve, securities and
instruments of our company. Certain of the underwriters or their affiliates that have a lending relationship with us routinely hedge, and certain other of those underwriters or their affiliates may hedge, their credit exposure to us consistent with
their customary risk management policies. Typically, such underwriters and their affiliates would hedge such exposure by entering into transactions which consist of either the purchase of credit default swaps or the creation of short positions in
our securities, including potentially the notes offered hereby. Any such credit default swaps or short positions could adversely affect future trading prices of the notes offered hereby. The underwriters and their affiliates may also make investment
recommendations and/or publish or express independent research views in respect of such securities or financial instruments and may hold, or recommend to clients that they acquire, long and/or short positions in such securities and instruments. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Our restated certificate of incorporation and our amended and restated bylaws contain provisions that may make it more difficult for a
potential acquirer to acquire us by means of a transaction that is not negotiated with our board of directors. These provisions and certain provisions of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, or the &#147;DGCL,&#148; could delay or
prevent a merger or acquisition that our stockholders consider favorable. These provisions may also discourage acquisition proposals or have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control, which could harm our stock price. Following is a
description of the anti-takeover effects of certain provisions of our restated certificate of incorporation and our amended and restated bylaws. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>No cumulative voting</I>. The DGCL provides that stockholders of a Delaware corporation are not entitled to the right to cumulate votes in
the election of directors unless its certificate of incorporation provides otherwise. Our restated certificate of incorporation provides that cumulative voting is not permitted. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Calling of special meetings of stockholders</I>. Our amended and restated bylaws provide that special meetings of our stockholders may be
called only by or at the direction of our board of directors, the chairman of our board of directors, our president or by our secretary upon an appropriately made written request of one or more record holders owning, and having held continuously for
a period of at least one year prior to the date such request is delivered, an aggregate of not less than 25% of the voting power of all outstanding shares of our capital stock. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Advance notice requirements for stockholder proposals and director nominations</I>. Our amended and restated bylaws provide that
stockholders seeking to nominate candidates for election as directors or to bring business before an annual meeting of stockholders or a stockholder requested special meeting of stockholders must provide timely notice of their proposal in writing to
our corporate secretary. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Generally, to be timely, a stockholder&#146;s notice regarding an annual meeting of stockholders must be
received at our principal executive offices not less than 90 days nor more than 120 days prior to the first anniversary of the previous year&#146;s annual meeting. Our amended and restated bylaws also specify requirements as to the form and content
of a stockholder&#146;s notice. These provisions may impede stockholders&#146; ability to bring matters before an annual meeting of stockholders, a stockholder requested special meeting of stockholders or make nominations for directors. </P>

the taking of any action. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Limitations on liability and indemnification of officers and directors</I>. The DGCL authorizes corporations

liable to the corporation or our stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty, except to the extent such exemption from liability or limitation thereof is not permitted under the DGCL as the same exists or may hereafter be amended.

to attract and retain qualified directors and officers. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The limitation of liability and indemnification provisions in our restated
certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws may discourage our stockholders from bringing lawsuits against directors for breach of their fiduciary duty. These provisions may also have the effect of reducing the likelihood of
derivative litigation against directors and officers, even though such an action, if successful, might otherwise benefit us and our stockholders. In addition, a stockholder&#146;s investment may be adversely affected to the extent we pay the costs
of settlement and damage awards against directors and officers pursuant to these indemnification provisions. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Board authority to amend

have the right, with the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the combined voting power of the then-outstanding shares of voting stock and without the approval of our board of directors, to adopt, amend or repeal our bylaws.

after withdrawal. If the depositary shares surrendered by the holder in connection with withdrawal exceed the number of depositary shares that represent the number of whole shares of preferred stock to be withdrawn, the preferred stock depositary

stock are entitled to vote, the preferred stock depositary will mail the information contained in the notice to the record holders of the depositary shares relating to the applicable series of preferred stock. Each record holder of the depositary
shares on the record date, which will be the same date as the record date for the preferred stock, may instruct the preferred stock depositary to vote the amount of the preferred stock represented by the holder&#146;s depositary shares. To the
extent possible, the preferred stock depositary will vote the amount of the series of preferred stock represented by depositary shares in accordance with the instructions it receives. We will agree to take all reasonable actions that the preferred
stock depositary determines are necessary to enable the preferred stock depositary to vote as instructed. If the preferred stock depositary does not receive specific instructions from the holders of any depositary shares representing a series of
preferred stock, it will vote all shares of that series held by it proportionately with instructions received. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Conversion of Preferred Stock </B></P>

exchangeable for common stock, preferred stock of another series or other securities of Devon, the following will apply. The depositary shares, as such, will not be convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for any securities of Devon. Rather,
any holder of the depositary shares may surrender the related depositary receipts to the preferred stock depositary with written instructions to instruct us to cause conversion, exercise or exchange of the preferred stock represented by the
depositary shares into or for whole shares of common stock, shares of another series of preferred stock or other securities of Devon. Upon receipt of those instructions and any amounts payable by the holder in connection with the conversion,
exercise or exchange, we will cause the conversion, exercise or exchange using the same procedures as those provided for conversion, exercise or exchange of the deposited preferred stock. If only some of the depositary shares are to be converted,
exercised or exchanged, a new depositary receipt or receipts will be issued for any depositary shares not to be converted, exercised or exchanged. </P>

may amend the form of depositary receipt evidencing the depositary shares and any provision of the deposit agreement at any time and from time to time by agreement with the preferred stock depositary. However, any amendment that imposes additional
charges or materially and adversely alters any substantial existing right of the holders of depositary shares will not be effective unless the holders of at least a majority of the affected depositary shares then outstanding approve the amendment.
We will make no amendment that impairs the right of any holder of depositary shares, as described above under &#147;&#151;Withdrawal of Preferred Stock&#148;, to receive shares of the related series of preferred stock and any money or other property
represented by those depositary shares, except in order to comply with mandatory provisions of applicable law. Holders who retain or acquire their depositary receipts after an amendment becomes effective will be deemed to have agreed to the
amendment and will be bound by the amended deposit agreement. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Charges of Preferred Stock Depositary; Taxes and Other Governmental Charges </B></P>
