This Amendment No. 21 supplements the information set forth in the Schedule 13D filed by Corvex Management LP and Keith Meister with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) on May 31, 2017, as previously amended (the Schedule 13D), relating to the shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the Shares), of Energen Corporation, an Alabama corporation (the Issuer). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Schedule 13D.

The information set forth in response to each separate Item below shall be deemed to be a response to all Items where such information is relevant. The Schedule 13D is supplementally amended as follows.

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

Corvex used the working capital of the Corvex Funds to purchase the 7,710,474 Shares reported herein. The total purchase price for the Shares reported as beneficially owned by the Corvex Persons was approximately $408,520,352.50.

Corvex may effect purchases of securities through margin accounts maintained for the Corvex Funds with brokers, which extend margin credit as and when required to open or carry positions in their margin accounts, subject to applicable federal margin regulations, stock exchange rules and such firms credit policies. Positions in Shares may be held in margin accounts and may be pledged as collateral security for the repayment of debit balances in such accounts.

The Icahn Persons may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of, in the aggregate, 9,666,382 Shares (including 2,000,000 Shares underlying the Option described in Item 4). Of such Shares, 7,666,382 Shares were purchased by the Icahn Persons collectively for an aggregate purchase price of $529,410,807. The exercise price for the Icahn Persons to acquire the Shares underlying the Option will be $134,740,000.

The source of funding for the Shares beneficially owned by the Icahn Persons (including Shares underlying the Option) was the general working capital of the respective purchasers. The Shares held by the Icahn Persons are held in margin accounts together with other securities. Such margin accounts may from time to time have debit balances. Part of the purchase price of such Shares was obtained through margin borrowing.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

On August 14, 2018, the Issuer announced that it had entered into a definitive agreement under which Diamondback Energy, Inc. will acquire the Issuer. The Reporting Persons commend the Issuers board of directors and management for entering into this transaction, which the Reporting Persons believe will have great strategic benefits and will position the combined company for years of growth. In light of this transaction, the Corvex Persons and the Icahn Persons will henceforth cease filing joint statements on Schedule 13D with respect to the Issuer.

The Corvex Persons, on the one hand, and the Icahn Persons, on the other hand, each intend to separately review their respective investment in the Issuer on a continuing basis and may from time to time and at any time in the future depending on various factors, including, without limitation, the Issuers financial position and strategic direction, actions taken by the Issuers board of directors, price levels of the Shares, other investment opportunities available to the Reporting Persons, conditions in the securities market and general economic and industry conditions, take such actions with respect to their respective investments in the Issuer as they deem appropriate, including, without limitation: (i) acquiring additional Shares and/or other equity, debt, notes, other securities, or derivative or other instruments that are based upon or relate to the value of the Shares (collectively, Securities) of the Issuer in the open market or otherwise; (ii) disposing of any or all of their Securities in the open market or otherwise; (iii) engaging in any hedging or similar transactions with respect to the Securities; or (iv) proposing or considering one or more of the actions described in subsections (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer

(a)-(b) The Corvex Persons may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of 7,710,474 Shares, which represent approximately 7.9% of the Issuers outstanding Shares. By virtue of his position as control person of the general partner of Corvex, Mr. Meister may be considered to beneficially own such Shares. The Corvex Persons may be deemed to have sole power to vote 7,710,474 Shares and sole power to dispose of 5,710,474 Shares.

The Icahn Persons may be deemed to beneficially own, in the aggregate, 9,666,382 Shares (including Shares underlying the Option), representing approximately 9.9% of the Issuers outstanding Shares.

High River has sole voting power with regard to 1,533,276 Shares and sole dispositive power with regard to 1,933,276 Shares (including Shares underlying the Option). Each of Hopper, Barberry and Mr. Icahn has shared voting power and shared dispositive power with regard to such Shares. Icahn Master has sole voting power with regard to 2,552,544 Shares and sole dispositive power with regard to 3,203,681 Shares (including Shares underlying the Option).

Each of Icahn Onshore, Icahn Capital, IPH, Icahn Enterprises Holdings, Icahn Enterprises GP, Beckton and Mr. Icahn has shared voting power and shared dispositive power with regard to such Shares.


Each of Hopper, Barberry and Mr. Icahn, by virtue of their relationships to High River (as disclosed in Item 2), may be deemed to indirectly beneficially own (as that term is defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the Act) the Shares which High River directly beneficially owns. Each of Hopper, Barberry and Mr. Icahn disclaims beneficial ownership of such Shares for all other purposes. Each of Icahn Offshore, Icahn Capital, IPH, Icahn Enterprises Holdings, Icahn Enterprises GP, Beckton and Mr. Icahn, by virtue of their relationships to Icahn Master (as disclosed in Item 2), may be deemed to indirectly beneficially own (as that term is defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Act) the Shares which Icahn Master directly beneficially owns. Each of Icahn Offshore, Icahn Capital, IPH, Icahn Enterprises Holdings, Icahn Enterprises GP, Beckton and Mr. Icahn disclaims beneficial ownership of such Shares for all other purposes. Each of Icahn Onshore, Icahn Capital, IPH, Icahn Enterprises Holdings, Icahn Enterprises GP, Beckton and Mr. Icahn, by virtue of their relationships to Icahn Partners (as disclosed in Item 2), may be deemed to indirectly beneficially own (as that term is defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Act) the Shares which Icahn Partners directly beneficially owns. Each of Icahn Onshore, Icahn Capital, IPH, Icahn Enterprises Holdings, Icahn Enterprises GP, Beckton and Mr. Icahn disclaims beneficial ownership of such Shares for all other purposes.

The Covex Persons and Icahn Persons collectively beneficially own approximately 15.8% of the Issuers outstanding Shares.

The percentages in the foregoing paragraphs are calculated based on a total of 97,481,597 Shares outstanding as of July 31, 2018, as reported in the Issuers Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on August 8, 2018.

(c) Except as set forth in Exhibit 25 attached hereto or previously disclosed in the Schedule 13D, there have been no transactions in the Shares during the sixty days prior to the date hereof by any of the Reporting Persons.

(d) The limited partners of (or investors in) each of the private investment funds for which Corvex or its affiliates acts as general partner and/or investment adviser have the right to participate in the receipt of dividends from, or proceeds from the sale of, the Shares held for the accounts of their respective funds in accordance with their respective limited partnership interests (or investment percentages) in their respective funds.

(e) Not applicable.
