Shareholder Rights Plan
 
Under Devon’s shareholder rights plan, stockholders have one-half of one right for each share of common stock held. The rights become exercisable and separately transferable ten business days after (a) an announcement that a person has acquired, or obtained the right to acquire, 15% or more of the voting shares outstanding, or (b) commencement of a tender or exchange offer that could result in a person owning 15% or more of the voting shares outstanding.
 
Each right entitles its holder (except a holder who is the acquiring person) to purchase either (a) 1/100 of a share of Series A Preferred Stock for $185.00, subject to adjustment or, (b) Devon common stock with a value equal to twice the exercise price of the right, subject to adjustment to prevent dilution. In the event of certain merger or asset sale transactions with another party or transactions that would increase the equity ownership of a shareholder who then owned 15% or more of Devon, each Devon right will entitle its holder to purchase securities of the merging or acquiring party with a value equal to twice the exercise price of the right.
 
The rights, which have no voting power, expire on August 17, 2009. The rights may be redeemed by Devon for $0.01 per right until the rights become exercisable.
