DEREGISTRATION OF SECURITIES

This Post-Effective Amendment (this “Post-Effective Amendment”) filed by Devon Energy Corporation (the “Registrant”) deregisters all shares of the Registrant’s common stock, $0.10 par value per share (the “Shares”), and other Plan (as defined below) interests remaining unsold or otherwise unissued under the Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the “Registration Statement”) filed by the Registrant with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on January 26, 2012, registering Shares and other Plan interests issuable under the Registrant’s Devon Energy Corporation Incentive Savings Plan, as amended (the “Plan”).

The Registrant has stopped accepting investments in the Registrant’s stock fund under the Plan, and all Shares and other Plan interests, held in such fund under the Plan were reinvested as investments in non-Registrant investment vehicles. Accordingly, the Registrant is no longer issuing securities under the Plan, and the offerings pursuant to the Registration Statement have been terminated. In accordance with undertakings made by the Registrant in the Registration Statement to remove from registration, by means of a post-effective amendment, any of the securities that remain unsold at the termination of the offerings, the Registrant hereby removes from registration all Shares that were registered but unsold or otherwise unissued under the Registration Statement as of the date hereof.
