Devon Energy Merger with Coterra Clears HSR Hurdle, On Track for Q2 Close
Summary
Devon Energy confirmed the expiration of the Hart-Scott-Rodino (HSR) waiting period, a critical regulatory approval for its all-stock merger with Coterra Energy. This follows recent SEC filings, including an S-4/A on March 24 and the mailing of the definitive joint proxy statement/prospectus on March 30, both related to the merger. The HSR expiry clears a significant regulatory hurdle, de-risking the transaction and confirming the deal is progressing as planned. This positive development reduces uncertainty for investors regarding the transaction's completion. The merger is now on track for a Q2 2026 close, subject to remaining customary conditions and shareholder approvals.
