Pursuant to the WPX Purchase Agreement and in connection with the closing of the transactions contemplated thereby (the WPX Acquisition), on March 6, 2020, WPX acquired all of the issued and outstanding membership interests of Felix Energy Holdings II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, previously held by Felix Investments for aggregate consideration of $2,500,000,000 consisting of: (i) an amount in cash equal to $900,000,000, subject to certain adjustments set forth in the WPX Purchase Agreement, and (ii) 152,910,532 unregistered, fully paid, validly issued and nonassessable shares of common stock, $0.01 par value per share of WPX (the WPX Common Stock).

Item 4.

Purpose of Transaction

The information set forth in Items 3 and 6 of this Schedule 13D is incorporated by reference in its entirety into this Item 4.

The Reporting Persons expect to review from time to time their investment in the Issuer and may, depending on the market and other conditions and subject to the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement and the Stockholders Agreement: (i) purchase additional shares of Common Stock, options or related derivatives in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise; (ii) sell, pledge or otherwise dispose of all or a portion of the shares of Common Stock, options or related derivatives now beneficially owned or hereafter acquired by them; and (iii) engage in other proposals as the Reporting Persons may deem appropriate under the circumstances, including plans or proposals which may relate to, or could result in, any of the matters referred to in paragraphs (a) through (j), inclusive, of the instructions to Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

 

11


Subject to the terms of the Stockholders Agreement, the Reporting Persons may also engage in communications with, among others, other members of the Issuers board of directors (the Board), the Issuers management, other shareholders and other potential investors, potential strategic partners, financial advisors and other industry participants, regarding such matters.

 

Item 5.

Interest in Securities of the Issuer

(a)    The aggregate number and percentage of Common Stock beneficially owned by each Reporting Person is set forth in Items 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 13 of the cover pages to this Schedule 13D relating to such Reporting Person and is incorporated by reference into this Item 5.

(b)    EnCap Partners GP is the sole general partner of EnCap Partners, which is the managing member of EnCap Holdings, which is the sole member of EnCap Investments GP, which is the sole general partner of EnCap Investments LP. EnCap Investments LP is the sole general partner of EnCap Fund IX GP and EnCap Fund X GP, which are the sole general partners of EnCap Fund IX and EnCap Fund X, respectively. EnCap Fund IX is the sole managing member of EnCap FEx. EnCap FEx is a member of Felix STACK that holds the right to appoint two of the four representatives to the board of managers of Felix STACK. Each of the two representatives to the board of managers of Felix STACK appointed by EnCap FEx possesses one and one-half votes and the other two representatives to the board of managers of Felix STACK possess one vote each (for a total of five votes for all managers). Therefore EnCap Fund IX has the sole power to vote or to direct the vote or to dispose or direct the disposition of the Common Stock owned by Felix STACK. EnCap Fund X is a member of Felix Energy that holds the right to appoint two of the three representatives to the board of managers of Felix Energy. Felix Energy is the direct and indirect sole owner of Felix Investments, and pursuant to the Felix Investments LLC Agreement, the members of the Felix Investments board of managers are required to be comprised of the same individuals as the Felix Energy board of managers. Therefore EnCap Fund X has the sole power to vote or to direct the vote or to dispose or direct the disposition of the Common Stock owned by Felix Investments. Therefore, EnCap Partners GP, EnCap Partners, EnCap Holdings, EnCap Investments GP, EnCap Investments LP, EnCap Fund IX GP, EnCap Fund IX and EnCap FEx may be deemed to beneficially own Common Stock owned by Felix STACK, and EnCap Partners GP, EnCap Partners, EnCap Holdings, EnCap Investments GP, EnCap Investments LP, EnCap Fund X GP, EnCap Fund X and Felix Energy may be deemed to beneficially own Common Stock owned by Felix Investments.

(c)    Except as set forth in this Schedule 13D, none of the Reporting Persons or, to their knowledge, any of its directors, executive officers or other control persons named on Schedule A, Schedule B or Schedule C, attached hereto, has effected any transaction in the Common Stock during the past 60 days.

(d)    No person other than the Reporting Persons has the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, the Common Stock reported on this Schedule 13D.

(e)    Not applicable.

 

Item 6.

12


Issuer not to be in compliance with applicable law. Pursuant to the Stockholders Agreement, for a period of one hundred and eighty (180) days from the Closing Date, EnCap agrees to not to transfer or dispose of (or take other analogous actions in accordance with the terms of the Stockholders Agreement) any economic, voting or other rights in or to two-thirds of the shares of Common Stock issued to EnCap pursuant to the Devon Merger Agreement other than certain permitted transfers. The remaining one-third of the shares of Common Stock issued to EnCap will not be subject to transfer restrictions imposed by the Stockholders Agreement. The Stockholders Agreement terminates upon the earliest to occur of (a) the last to occur of (i) EnCap beneficially owning less than 10% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock and (ii) the expiration of the Stockholders Agreement lock-up period, (b) Felix Investments and its permitted transferees ceasing to own any shares of Common Stock or (c) the mutual written consent of the parties.

Mr. D. Martin Phillips was nominated by EnCap under the Stockholders Agreement as the initial Investor Director to serve on the Board.

Registration Rights Agreement

On the Closing Date, pursuant to the terms of the Devon Merger Agreement, the Issuer and Felix Investments entered into a Registration Rights Agreement (the Registration Rights Agreement), pursuant to which, among other things and subject to certain restrictions, the Issuer is required to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) a registration statement on Form S-3 registering for resale the shares of Common Stock issued to EnCap upon consummation of the Devon Merger and to conduct certain underwritten offerings upon the request of holders of registrable securities.
