Revisions to Retirement Plans
 
In the second quarter of 2007, Devon adopted an enhanced defined contribution structure related to its 401(k) Incentive Savings Plan (“401(k) Plan”) to be effective January 1, 2008. Participants in this enhanced defined contribution structure continue to receive a discretionary match of a percentage of their contributions to the 401(k) Plan. These participants also receive additional, nondiscretionary contributions by Devon calculated as a percentage of annual compensation. The percentage varies based on the employees’ years of service.
 
On or before November 15, 2007, existing eligible employees elected to either continue to participate in the defined benefit plan or participate in the enhanced defined contribution structure of the 401(k) Plan. Employees who elected to continue participating in the defined benefit plans continue to accrue benefits under the existing provisions of such plans. Employees who elected to participate in the enhanced defined contribution structure receive enhanced contributions to the 401(k) Plan and retain the benefits that they had accrued under the defined benefit plan as of December 31, 2007. However, such employees are only entitled to the benefits that have accrued in the defined benefit plans as of December 31, 2007, after all applicable vesting requirements have been met. Employees hired on or after October 1, 2007 do not have an election and only participate in the 401(k) Plan and the enhanced defined contribution structure.
 
For those employees who elected to participate in the enhanced defined contribution structure, Devon’s pension benefit obligation included $16 million related to projected future years of service for these employees. Because this portion of the employees’ benefits was curtailed upon their election, Devon reduced its pension liabilities by $16 million in the fourth quarter of 2007.
