| Item 1.01 |
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. |
Merger Agreement
On February 1, 2026, Coterra Energy Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
“Company” or “Coterra”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”),
with Devon Energy Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Devon”), and Cubs Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation
and a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of Devon (“Merger Sub”). The Merger Agreement provides that, among other things
and upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company (the
“Merger”), with the Company surviving the Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Devon.
Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger
Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), each share of common stock, $0.10 par value,
of Coterra (the “Coterra Common Stock”) issued and outstanding (other than Excluded Shares (as defined in the Merger
Agreement)) immediately prior to the Effective Time will automatically be converted into the right to receive 0.70 (the “Exchange
Ratio”) fully paid and nonassessable shares of common stock, $0.10 par value, of Devon (the “Devon Common Stock”).
Cash will be paid in lieu of any fractional shares of Devon Common Stock that otherwise would have been issued to any Coterra stockholder
in the Merger. The Merger Agreement also specifies the treatment of the Company’s outstanding equity awards in connection with the
Merger. Following the closing of the Merger, Coterra’s existing stockholders and Devon’s existing stockholders will own approximately
46% and 54%, respectively, of the combined company.
The Board of Directors of Coterra has unanimously (i) determined that
the Merger Agreement, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated thereby are in the best interests of, and are advisable to, the
Company and the holders of Coterra Common Stock, (ii) approved and declared advisable the Merger Agreement, the Merger and the other transactions
contemplated thereby and (iii) resolved to recommend that the Coterra stockholders adopt and approve the Merger Agreement, the Merger
and the other transactions contemplated thereby.
Coterra and Devon intend, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, that
(i) the Merger qualifies as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the United States Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended, and (ii) the Merger Agreement constitutes a “plan of reorganization” within the meaning of Treasury
Regulations Sections 1.368-2(g) and 1.368-3(a).
Governance
The Merger Agreement includes certain agreements
between Coterra and Devon related to the governance of the combined company. At the Effective Time, the Board of Directors of Devon will
have 11 members, including (i) six directors designated by Devon that are currently serving on the Board of Directors of Devon, one of
whom will be the President and Chief Executive Officer of Devon as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (the “Devon Designees”),
and (ii) five directors designated by Coterra that are currently serving on the Board of Directors of Coterra, one of whom will be the
Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President of Coterra as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (the “Coterra Designees”).
If the 2026 annual meeting of Devon stockholders
occurs after the Effective Time, the combined company board will re-nominate each Devon Designee and Coterra Designee then serving on
the combined company board for re-election by stockholders, subject to certain exceptions.
At the Effective Time, (i) the President and Chief
Executive Officer of Devon will be appointed to serve as the Chief Executive Officer of the combined company and (ii) the Chairman, Chief
Executive Officer and President of Coterra will become Chair of the combined company.
Immediately following the Effective Time, the
board of directors of the combined company will take all necessary action to cause the combined company’s executive committee to
consist of the President and Chief Executive Officer of Devon plus eight additional members, five of whom will be designated by Coterra
and the remaining three of whom will be existing officers of Devon. The executive committee will report to the Chief Executive Officer.
At or prior to the Effective Time, Devon will
adopt a Corporate Governance Policy effective for a period of two years following the Effective Time, which may not be amended without
a vote of at least 75% of the combined company board unless required by applicable law or stock exchange rule listing standard. During
the term of the Corporate Governance Policy, (i) neither the Chair nor the Chief Executive Officer of the combined company may be removed
without the affirmative vote of at least 75% of the combined company board and (ii) only for so long as Thomas E. Jorden serves as the
Chair of the board of directors of the combined company, the Lead Independent Director of the board of directors of the combined company
will be an independent director determined and approved by a majority of the Devon designees.
The name and the ticker symbol of Devon as of
the Effective Time will be the name and the ticker symbol of the combined company following the Effective Time. Following the Effective
Time, the combined company’s Chief Executive Officer and principal executive functions will be based in the combined company’s
Houston, Texas headquarters and the combined company will maintain a significant continuing presence in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.
Conditions to the Merger
The completion of the Merger is subject to various
customary closing conditions, including, among other things, (i) the receipt of certain approvals of the Coterra stockholders and the
Devon stockholders; (ii) the expiration or termination of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of
1976, as amended; (iii) the effectiveness of the registration statement on Form S-4 that Devon is obligated to file with the Securities
and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) in connection with the issuance of shares of Devon Common Stock in the Merger; (iv)
the authorization for listing of shares of Devon Common Stock to be issued in the Merger on the New York Stock Exchange; (v) the accuracy
of each party’s representations and warranties (subject to certain materiality and knowledge qualifiers) and compliance by each
party with its material covenants under the Merger Agreement in all material respects; and (vi) the absence of legal restraints prohibiting
the Merger.
Termination Rights
The Merger Agreement contains customary termination
rights for each of Coterra and Devon, including, among others, if the Merger has not been consummated by August 1, 2026 (subject to an
extension to November 1, 2026, and a further extension to February 1, 2027, for the sole purpose of obtaining antitrust clearances), if
required stockholder approvals are not obtained, or upon a change of recommendation or a material breach by the other party, in each case
on the terms set forth in the Merger Agreement. In certain circumstances, including specified circumstances following a change of recommendation
by the Board of Directors of Coterra or a material breach of the non-solicitation covenant, Coterra will be required to pay Devon a termination
fee of $865 million (the “Termination Fee”), and in reciprocal specified circumstances, Devon will be required to pay
Coterra the Termination Fee. In other specified circumstances where the Merger Agreement is terminated following the failure to obtain
the required stockholder approval and the Termination Fee is not otherwise payable by the party that failed to obtain such approval, the
party whose stockholders failed to approve the transactions will be required to pay the other party up to $40 million as reimbursement
for the other party’s reasonable and documented fees and expenses in connection with the Merger.
Other Terms of the
Merger Agreement
The Merger Agreement contains customary representations,
warranties and covenants for a transaction of this nature. The Merger Agreement also contains customary pre-closing covenants, including
the obligation of each of Coterra and Devon to conduct their respective businesses in the ordinary course consistent with past practice
and to refrain from taking certain specified actions without the consent of the other party.
The Merger Agreement further provides that, from
the date of the Merger Agreement, each of Coterra and Devon will be subject to certain restrictions on its ability to solicit an alternative
Acquisition Proposal (as defined in the Merger Agreement) from third parties, to provide non-public information to third parties and to
engage in discussions with third parties regarding alternative Acquisition Proposals, subject to customary exceptions. Each party is required
to call a meeting of its stockholders to obtain the required approval of such party’s stockholders and, subject to certain exceptions,
to recommend that their respective shareholders approve such proposals. Neither party has the ability to terminate to accept a Superior
Proposal (as defined in the Merger Agreement).
The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement
does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the Merger Agreement, a copy of
which is filed herewith as Exhibit 2.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
The Merger Agreement and the above description
of the Merger Agreement have been included in this Current Report on Form 8-K to provide investors and security holders with information
regarding the terms of the Merger Agreement. They are not intended to provide any other factual information about Coterra, Devon or their
respective subsidiaries or affiliates. In particular, the assertions embodied in the representations and warranties contained in the Merger
Agreement are qualified by matters disclosed in certain of Coterra’s and Devon’s filings with the SEC prior to the date of
the Merger Agreement and by information in confidential disclosure letters provided by each of Coterra and Devon to the other in connection
with the signing of the Merger Agreement. These confidential disclosure letters contain information that modifies, qualifies and creates
exceptions to the representations and warranties and certain covenants set forth in the Merger Agreement. The representations, warranties
and covenants are also subject to materiality qualifications contained in the Merger Agreement that may differ from what may be viewed
as material by investors. Moreover, certain representations and warranties in the Merger Agreement were used for the purposes of allocating
risk between Coterra and Devon rather than establishing matters as facts. As a result, the representations and warranties in the Merger
Agreement should not be relied on as characterizations of the actual state of facts about Coterra, Devon or their respective subsidiaries
or affiliates. Accordingly, the Merger Agreement should not be read in isolation, but should instead be read in conjunction with other
information regarding Coterra and Devon or their respective subsidiaries or affiliates that is or will be contained in, or incorporated
by reference into, the Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Current Reports on Form 8-K, and other documents that
they file or furnish with the SEC.

thereof, (ii) provide for outplacement benefits (other than for Mr. Jorden) and continued participation in any financial planning services

will be deemed earned at the greater of (x) 100% of the target level of all applicable performance measures and (y) the actual level of
performance achievement through the date of the change in control and will no longer be subject to any continued performance-based vesting
conditions, and (2) in the event of a qualifying termination of employment during the Change in Control Protection Period, all outstanding
equity-based awards held by an Executive will vest in full.
The A&R Severance Compensation Agreements are otherwise on substantially
the same terms and conditions as previously disclosed in the Company’s Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A, filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on March 20, 2025.
The foregoing summary of the A&R Severance Compensation Agreements
does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by (i) for Mr. Jorden, the Amended and Restated Severance
Compensation Agreement, by and between Mr. Jorden and Coterra, dated January 31, 2026 and (ii) for the other Executives, the form of Amended
and Restated Severance Compensation Agreement, which are filed hereto as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2, respectively.

Forward-Looking Statements
This Current Report on Form 8-K includes “forward-looking statements”
as defined by the SEC. Such statements include those concerning strategic plans, Devon’s and Coterra’s expectations and objectives
for future operations, as well as other future events or conditions, and are often identified by use of the words and phrases such as
“expects,” “believes,” “will,” “would,” “could,” “continue,” “may,”
“aims,” “likely to be,” “intends,” “forecasts,” “projections,” “estimates,”
“plans,” “expectations,” “targets,” “opportunities,” “potential,” “anticipates,”
“outlook” and other similar terminology. All statements, other than statements of historical facts, included in this
Current Report on Form 8-K that address activities, events or developments that Devon or Coterra expects, believes or anticipates will
or may occur in the future are forward-looking statements. Such statements are subject to a number of assumptions, risks and uncertainties,
many of which are beyond Devon’s and Coterra’s control. Consequently, actual future results could differ materially and adversely
from Devon’s and Coterra’s expectations due to a number of factors, including, but not limited to those, identified below.
With respect to the Proposed Transaction between Devon and Coterra,
these factors could include, but are not limited to: the risk that Devon or Coterra may be unable to obtain governmental and regulatory
approvals required for the Proposed Transaction, or that required governmental and regulatory approvals may delay the Proposed Transaction
or result in the imposition of conditions that could reduce the anticipated benefits from the Proposed Transaction or cause the parties
to abandon the Proposed Transaction; the risk that a condition to closing of the Proposed Transaction may not be satisfied; the length
of time necessary to consummate the Proposed Transaction, which may be longer than anticipated for various reasons; the risk that the
businesses will not be integrated successfully; the risk that the cost savings, synergies and growth from the Proposed Transaction may
not be fully realized or may take longer to realize than expected; the expected dividends and share repurchases, as well as related growth
and yield, may not be approved by the board of directors of the combined company or realized on the stated timeline or at all; the diversion
of management time on transaction-related issues; the effect of future regulatory or legislative actions on the companies or the industries
in which they operate; the risk that the credit ratings of the combined company or its subsidiaries may be different from what the companies
expect; potential liability resulting from pending or future litigation; changes in the general economic environment, or social or political
conditions, that could affect the businesses; the potential impact of the announcement or consummation of the Proposed Transaction on
relationships with customers, suppliers, competitors, business partners, management and other employees; the ability to hire and retain
key personnel; reliance on and integration of information technology systems; the risks associated with assumptions the parties make in
connection with the parties’ critical accounting estimates and legal proceedings; the volatility of oil, gas and natural gas liquids
(NGL) prices, including from changes in trade relations and policies, such as the imposition of tariffs by the U.S., China or other countries;
uncertainties inherent in estimating oil, gas and NGL reserves; the uncertainties, costs and risks involved in Devon’s and Coterra’s
operations; natural disasters and epidemics; counterparty credit risks; risks relating to Devon’s and Coterra’s indebtedness;
risks related to Devon’s and Coterra’s hedging activities; risks related to Devon’s and Coterra’s environmental,
social and governance initiatives; claims, audits and other proceedings impacting the business of Devon or Coterra, including with respect
to historic and legacy operations; governmental interventions in energy markets; competition for assets, materials, people and capital,
which can be exacerbated by supply chain disruptions, including as a result of tariffs or other changes in trade policy; regulatory restrictions,
compliance costs and other risks relating to governmental regulation, including with respect to federal lands, environmental matters and
water disposal; cybersecurity risks; risks associated with artificial intelligence and other emerging technologies; Devon’s and
Coterra’s limited control over third parties who operate some of their respective oil and gas properties and investments; midstream
capacity constraints and potential interruptions in production, including from limits to the build out of midstream infrastructure; the
extent to which insurance covers any losses Devon or Coterra may experience; risks related to shareholder activism; general domestic and
international economic and political conditions; the impact of a prolonged federal, state or local government shutdown and threats not
to increase the federal government’s debt limit; as well as changes in tax, environmental and other laws, including court rulings,
applicable to Devon’s and Coterra’s respective businesses.
Additional information concerning other risk factors is also contained
in Devon’s and Coterra’s most recently filed Annual Reports on Form 10-K, subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q,
Current Reports on Form 8-K and other SEC filings.
Many of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions are beyond Devon’s
or Coterra’s ability to control or predict. Because of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, you should not place undue reliance
on these forward-looking statements. Nothing in this Current Report on Form 8-K is intended, or is to be construed, as a profit forecast
or to be interpreted to mean that earnings per share of Devon or Coterra for the current or any future financial years or those of the
combined company, will necessarily match or exceed the historical published earnings per share of Devon or Coterra, as applicable. Neither
Devon nor Coterra gives any assurance (1) that either Devon or Coterra will achieve their expectations, or (2) concerning any result or
the timing thereof, in each case, with respect to the Proposed Transaction or any regulatory action, administrative proceedings, government
investigations, litigation, warning letters, consent decree, cost reductions, business strategies, earnings or revenue trends or future
financial results.
All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements concerning
Devon, Coterra, the Proposed Transaction, the combined company or other matters and attributable to Devon or Coterra or any person acting
on their behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements above. Devon and Coterra do not undertake, and
expressly disclaim, any duty to update or revise their respective forward-looking statements based on new information, future events or
otherwise.
