BALA CYNWYD, PA / ACCESSWIRE / September 29, 2020 / Law office of Brodsky & Smith, LLC announces that it is investigating potential claims against the Board of Directors of WPX Energy, Inc. ("WPX" or the "Company") (NYSE:WPX) for possible breaches of fiduciary duty and other violations of federal and state law in connection with the agreement to be acquired by Devon Energy Corporation ("Devon") (NYSE:DVN). Under the terms of the agreement, WPX shareholders will receive only 0.5165 shares of Devon for each share of WPX they own, an implied per-share consideration of $4.55 based upon Devon's closing price of $8.82 on September 25, 2020.

The investigation concerns whether the WPX Board breached its fiduciary duties to shareholders by failing to conduct a fair process and whether Devon is paying too little for the Company. For example, the deal consideration is well off the Company's 52-week high of $14.43.
