On March 19, 2014, WPX Energy, Inc.’s Board of Directors approved an amendment to Section 2.10 of WPX Energy, Inc.’s Bylaws, effective as of that date. Section 2.10 of the Bylaws generally governs the nomination of a person for election as a director. The amendment eliminates the prohibition on a proposed director nominee being a party to a compensatory arrangement with, or receiving compensation or other payment from, a third party in connection with that proposed director nominee’s candidacy or service, but only in the event that such arrangement or payment has been disclosed in writing to WPX Energy.
The foregoing summary of the amendment to the Bylaws is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the amended Bylaws included in this Current Report as Exhibit 3.1.
