Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

In connection with the previously disclosed retirement of Mr. John Richels as President and Chief Executive Officer of Devon Energy Corporation (the “Company”), on September 16, 2015, the long-term incentive awards granted to Mr. Richels in the first quarter of 2015 were prorated to reflect the seven months during 2015 that Mr. Richels served as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. These amendments reduce the amount of (i) the 2015 award of shares of performance restricted stock from 70,120 shares to 41,000 shares and (ii) the 2015 award of performance share units from 70,100 units to 41,000 units, in each case effective as of September 16, 2015. The amendments do not otherwise modify the terms of Mr. Richels’ 2015 long-term incentive awards, a description of which can be found in the Company’s proxy statement on Schedule 14A, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 21, 2015, as amended.
