Stock Repurchases
 
Devon’s Board of Directors has approved an ongoing, annual stock repurchase program to minimize dilution resulting from restricted stock issued to, and options exercised by, employees. Also, Devon’s Board of Directors approved a program in 2007 to repurchase up to 50 million shares. This program expires on December 31, 2009 and was created as a potential use of the proceeds received from Devon’s West African property divestitures. Devon’s Board of Directors also approved a separate 50 million share repurchase program in August 2005, which expired on December 31, 2007.
 
In response to the current economic environment and recent downturn in commodity prices, Devon has indefinitely suspended activity under its authorized programs. As a result, Devon does not anticipate repurchasing shares under these programs in the foreseeable future. Should economic conditions or commodity prices strengthen, Devon will consider resumption of share repurchases under its authorized programs.
 
During the three-year period ended December 31, 2008, Devon repurchased 14.8 million shares at a total cost of $1.2 billion, or $83.98 per share, under these repurchase programs. The following table summarizes Devon’s repurchases under these plans during 2008, 2007 and 2006 (amounts and shares in millions).

Stock Repurchases
 
On September 27, 2004, Devon announced a stock repurchase program to repurchase up to 50 million shares of its common stock. During 2004, Devon repurchased five million shares at a total cost of $189 million, or $37.78 per share. This program was completed in 2005, during which Devon repurchased 44.6 million shares at a total cost of $2.1 billion, or $47.69 per share. The total cost of this program was $2.3 billion, or $46.69 per share.
 
On August 3, 2005, Devon announced another program to repurchase up to 50 million shares of its common. During 2005, Devon repurchased 2.2 million shares at a cost of $134 million, or $60.16 per share, under this program. During 2006, Devon repurchased 4.3 million shares at a cost of $253 million, or $59.61 per share, under this program. As of February 1, 2007, Devon has repurchased 6.5 million shares under this program for $387 million, or $59.80 per share. This program was suspended in 2006 as a result of the Chief acquisition (see Note 3). In conjunction with the sales of Egypt and West Africa (see Note 13), Devon expects to resume this repurchase program in late 2007 by using a portion of the sale proceeds to repurchase common stock. Although this program expires at the end of 2007, it could be extended if necessary.
