Item 1. Legal Proceedings

We are involved in various legal proceedings incidental to our business. However, to our knowledge as of the date of this report and subject to the environmental matters noted in Part I, Item 3. Legal Proceedings of our 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K and the matters described below, there were no material pending legal proceedings to which we are a party or to which any of our property is subject. For more information on our legal contingencies, see Note 18 in “Part I. Financial Information – Item 1. Financial Statements” of this report.

Environmental Matters

Devon has elected to use a $1 million threshold for disclosing certain proceedings arising under federal, state or local environmental laws when a governmental authority is a party. Devon believes proceedings under this threshold are not material to Devon’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

On June 26, 2023, we received a NOV from the EPA relating to alleged air emission violations by Coterra Energy Operating Co. (f/k/a Cimarex Energy Co.), a subsidiary of the Company, during 2020 and 2022 in Texas and New Mexico. On July 25, 2023, we subsequently received a letter from the U.S. Department of Justice that the EPA has referred this matter for civil enforcement proceedings. On August 17, 2023, we received a separate NOV from the EPA relating to alleged air emission violations by Coterra Energy Operating Co. during 2023 in New Mexico. The Company has been engaging with the EPA to resolve each of these matters, which remain ongoing, and management cannot predict their ultimate outcome; however, resolution of each of these matters may result in a fine or penalty in excess of $1 million.

Please see our 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K and other SEC filings for additional information.
