SCHEDULE TO
(Amendment No. 1)
     This Amendment No. 1 to Schedule TO (this “Amendment No. 1”) amends and supplements the Schedule TO (the “Schedule TO”) and the Offer to Amend Eligible Outstanding Stock Options (the “Offering Memorandum”), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on November 29, 2007, in connection with the offer (the “Offer”) by Concho Resources Inc, a Delaware corporation (“Concho Resources”), to amend certain stock options to purchase Concho Resources common stock held by the option holder to include new restrictions on the exercisability of those stock options in order to limit the adverse tax consequences that will apply to these stock options under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended and the regulations and other interpretive guidance issued by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service thereunder, and to receive a cash payment in relation to the making of such amendment. Except as expressly amended and supplemented by this Amendment No. 1, all terms of the Offer and all disclosure in the Schedule TO and the Exhibits thereto remain unchanged.
