Previous wording

In July 2024, Devon announced it had entered into an agreement to acquire the Williston Basin business of Grayson Mill Energy. The purchase price for the transaction consists of $3.25 billion of cash and approximately 37 million shares of Devon common stock, in each case subject to various purchase price adjustments. The transaction is expected to close by the end of the third quarter of 2024 and increase our volumes in 2025 by approximately 100 MBoe/d, with approximately 55% being oil. The acquisition will allow us to efficiently expand our oil production and operating scale, creating immediate and long-term, sustainable value to shareholders over time. As evidenced by this recent acquisition, we remain focused on building economic value by executing on our strategic priorities of moderating production growth, emphasizing capital and operational efficiencies, optimizing reinvestment rates to maximize free cash flow, maintaining low leverage, delivering cash returns to our shareholders and pursuing ESG excellence. Our recent performance highlights for these priorities include the following items for the second quarter of 2024:
