Subsidiary Equity Transactions

During the first quarter of 2016, EnLink issued common units in conjunction with the acquisition discussed in Note 2. In addition, during the first nine months of 2016, EnLink issued approximately 7 million common units for net proceeds of $110 million. As a result of these transactions, Devon’s ownership interest in EnLink decreased from 28% at December 31, 2015 to 24% at September 30, 2016, excluding the interest held by the General Partner. Additionally, as a result of the transaction described in Note 2, Devon’s ownership in the General Partner decreased from 70% to 64% during the same time period. The net gains and losses and related income taxes resulting from these transactions have been recorded as an adjustment to equity, with the change in ownership reflected as an adjustment to noncontrolling interests.

Distributions to Noncontrolling Interests

EnLink and the General Partner distributed $224 million and $186 million to non-Devon unitholders during the first nine months of 2016 and 2015, respectively.
