ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS On January 24, 2002, Mitchell Energy & Development Corp. ("Mitchell") merged with Devon NewCo Corporation, and the surviving corporation of the merger is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Registrant. In connection therewith, each share of Mitchell common stock that was outstanding prior to the merger, other than those shares for which dissenters' rights have been validly exercised, was converted into 0.585 of a share of common stock of the Registrant and the right to receive $31.00 per share in cash. Upon conversion of the outstanding shares of Mitchell common stock in the merger, the outstanding shares of Mitchell common stock were cancelled and retired and ceased to exist. The Registrant assumed each of the outstanding option and bonus unit plans of Mitchell. At the effective time of the merger, each outstanding option and bonus unit to acquire Mitchell common stock vested and was converted automatically into the right to purchase 1.20 shares of the Registrant's common stock for each share of Mitchell common stock covered by the option or bonus unit before the merger and the exercise price for each option and bonus unit now equals the pre-conversion exercise price divided by 1.20.
