What was the primary purpose of this 8-K filing?

The primary purpose of this 8-K filing was to announce the final results of Diamondback Energy's cash tender offers and consent solicitations for its own debt and the debt inherited from QEP Resources, Inc. after its acquisition.

Did Diamondback Energy buy back all of its debt that was subject to the tender offer?

Yes, the tender offers were for 'any and all' of Diamondback's 5.375% Senior Notes due 2025, meaning the company intended to purchase all outstanding notes of that series submitted by holders. Similarly, the offers for QEP's notes were also for 'any and all' of the specified series.

How does this debt tender offer relate to the QEP Resources acquisition?

This debt tender offer is a direct consequence of Diamondback Energy's acquisition of QEP Resources. By tendering for QEP's outstanding notes, Diamondback is consolidating and optimizing its debt structure following the integration of the acquired company's liabilities.

What are the implications for investors holding these notes?

For investors who participated in the tender offers, the filing confirms the final results and likely details the purchase price and settlement of their notes. For investors who did not tender, they would still hold their notes according to the original terms, unless the consent solicitations (also mentioned as part of the offer) altered any terms which is less common in 'any and all' offers.
