This Amendment No. 2 (this “Amendment”) amends and supplements the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO filed by Encana Corporation, a Canadian corporation (“Encana”), and Alenco Acquisition Company Inc. (“Purchaser”), a Delaware corporation and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Encana, with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 10, 2014 (together with any subsequent amendments and supplements thereto, the “Schedule TO”). The Schedule TO relates to the offer by Purchaser to purchase all of the shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Shares”), of Athlon Energy Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Athlon”), that are issued and outstanding at a price of $58.50 per Share, net to the seller in cash, without interest, less any applicable withholding taxes, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase, dated October 10, 2014 (the “Offer to Purchase”), and in the related Letter of Transmittal (the “Letter of Transmittal”), copies of which are attached as Exhibits (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii), respectively, to the Schedule TO (which, together with any amendments or supplements thereto, collectively constitute the “Offer”).

All information contained in the Offer to Purchase and the accompanying Letter of Transmittal, including all schedules thereto, is hereby incorporated herein by reference in response to Items 1 through 9 and Item 11 in the Schedule TO.

This Amendment is being filed to amend and supplement Item 11 as reflected below and to amend and supplement Item 12 with additional exhibits.

Item 11. Additional Information.

Item 11 of the Schedule TO is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

The information set forth in Section 17 – “Certain Legal Matters; Regulatory Approvals – Litigation” of the Offer to Purchase is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

“Following the announcement of the execution of the Merger Agreement: (i) a purported stockholder class action and derivative action challenging the Merger was filed in the District Court of Tarrant County, Texas on October 6, 2014, being Matt Youdall, Individually and on Behalf of All Others Similarly Situated and Derivatively on Behalf of Athlon Energy Inc. v. Encana Corporation et al, Case No. 342-274894-14 (the “Youdall Complaint”); (ii) a purported stockholder class action challenging the Merger was filed in the Court of Chancery of The State of Delaware on October 9, 2014, being Gary Shayne, individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated v. Athlon Energy Inc. et al, Case No. 10218 (the “Shayne Complaint”); (iii) a purported stockholder class action challenging the Merger was filed in the Court of Chancery of The State of Delaware on October 17, 2014, being Maxine Phillips, individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated v. Athlon Energy Inc. et al, Case No. 10246 (the “Phillips Complaint”); and (iv) a purported stockholder class action challenging the Merger was filed in the Court of Chancery of The State of Delaware on October 17, 2014, being Mandle Rousseau, individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated v. Athlon Energy Inc. et al, Case No. 10250 (the “Rousseau Complaint”).

The complaints name as defendants the members of the Athlon Board, Encana and us. The complaints allege that the members of the Athlon Board breached their fiduciary duties to Athlon’s stockholders in connection with the Merger, and that the Merger Agreement contemplates inadequate and unfair consideration, was the product of an inadequate sales process and contains unreasonable deal protection devices that purportedly preclude competing offers. The complaints further allege that Encana aided and abetted the purported breaches of fiduciary duty. The Phillips Complaint and the Rousseau Complaint also allege that the Schedule 14D-9 filed by Athlon is materially misleading and fails to disclose material information necessary for a reasonable stockholder to make an informed decision regarding the Offer. The actions seek injunctive relief, including enjoining or rescinding the Merger, and an award of other unspecified attorneys’ and other fees and costs, in addition to other relief.

The outcome of these matters cannot be predicted with any certainty. A preliminary injunction could delay or jeopardize the completion of the Offer or the Merger, and an adverse judgment granting permanent injunctive relief could indefinitely enjoin completion of the Offer or the Merger.

A copy of each of the Youdall Complaint, the Shayne Complaint, the Phillips Complaint and the Rousseau Complaint are attached to the Schedule TO as Exhibits (a)(5)(vii), (a)(5)(ix), (a)(5)(x) and (a)(5)(xi) respectively, and are hereby incorporated by reference.”

Item 12. Exhibits.

Item 12 of the Schedule TO is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following exhibits:

 

Index No.

    

(a)(5)(x)

   Complaint filed by Maxine Phillips, individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated, on October 17, 2014, in the Court of Chancery of The State of Delaware.
