On January 7, 2021, Devon and WPX completed an all-stock merger of equals. WPX was an oil and gas exploration and production company with assets in the Delaware Basin in Texas and New Mexico and the Williston Basin in North Dakota. On the closing date of the Merger, each share of WPX common stock was automatically converted into the right to receive 0.5165 of a share of Devon common stock. No fractional shares of Devon’s common stock were issued in the Merger, and holders of WPX common stock instead received cash in lieu of fractional shares of Devon common stock, if any. Based on the closing price of Devon’s common stock on January 7, 2021, the total value of Devon common stock issued to holders of WPX common stock as part of this transaction was approximately $5.4 billion. The Merger was structured as a tax-free reorganization for United States federal income tax purposes.

The transaction has been accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting, with Devon being treated as the accounting acquirer. Under the acquisition method of accounting, the assets and liabilities of WPX and its subsidiaries have been recorded at their respective fair values as of the date of completion of the Merger and added to Devon’s. The preliminary purchase price assessment remains an ongoing process and is subject to change for up to one year subsequent to the closing date of the Merger. Determining the fair value of the assets and liabilities of WPX requires judgment and certain assumptions to be made, the most significant of these being related to the valuation of WPX’s oil and gas properties. The inputs and assumptions related to the oil and gas properties are categorized as level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

The following table represents the preliminary allocation of the total purchase price of WPX to the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed based on the fair values as of the acquisition date.
