Restricted Stock Awards and Units
 
Under Devon’s 2005 Long-Term Incentive Plan, restricted stock awards and units are subject to the terms, conditions, restrictions and/or limitations, if any, that the Compensation Committee deems appropriate, including restrictions on continued employment. Generally, restricted stock awards and units vest over a minimum restriction period of at least three years from the date of grant. During the vesting period, recipients of restricted stock awards receive dividends that are not subject to restrictions or other limitations. The fair value of restricted stock awards and units on the date of grant is expensed over the applicable vesting period.
