Announces Redemption of Senior Subordinated Notes Due March 2016
Completes $1.2 Billion Senior Subordinated Notes Offering
PLANO, TX – February 5, 2013 – Denbury Resources Inc. (NYSE: DNR) ("Denbury" or the "Company") announced today that it exercised its early purchase option and has accepted for purchase the 9 ¾% senior subordinated notes due March 2016 of the Company (the "9 ¾% Notes") and the 9 ½% senior subordinated notes due May 2016 of the Company, as successor to Encore Acquisition Company (the "9 ½% Notes" and collectively with the 9 ¾% Notes, the "Notes"), tendered and not withdrawn prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time yesterday, February 4, 2013 (the "Consent Payment Deadline"), pursuant to Denbury's previously announced tender offers and consent solicitations.
As of the Consent Payment Deadline, (i) $191,678,000 principal amount of the 9 ¾% Notes, or approximately 45% of the outstanding 9 ¾% Notes, and (ii) $186,589,000 principal amount of the 9 ½% Notes, or approximately 83% of the outstanding 9 ½% Notes, had been validly tendered and not withdrawn. Payment for the Notes purchased was made today.
Based on the amount of 9 ¾% Notes tendered and accepted for purchase, the Company did not receive a sufficient number of consents to adopt the proposed amendments to the indenture governing the 9 ¾% Notes. The Company has waived the Required Consent Condition and the Supplemental Indenture Condition (as such terms are defined in the Offer Documents) with respect to the 9 ¾% Notes.
Based on the amount of 9 ½% Notes tendered and accepted for purchase, the Company received a sufficient number of consents to adopt the proposed amendments to the indenture governing the 9 ½% Notes. These amendments were adopted on February 5, 2013 pursuant to a supplemental indenture to the indenture governing the 9 ½% Notes which eliminated most of the restrictive covenants and certain events of default in that indenture.
The tender offers are being made pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation Statement, dated as of January 22, 2013, and the related Letter of Transmittal and Consent (collectively, the "Offer Documents"). The tender offers will expire at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on February 19, 2013, unless extended by the Company.

The redemption date for the 9 ¾% Notes is March 7, 2013, and holders will receive $1,048.75 per $1,000 principal amount of the 9 ¾% Notes plus the accrued and unpaid interest on the 9 ¾% Notes to that date.
Denbury further announced that today it closed the sale of $1.2 billion principal amount of its 4 5/8% senior subordinated notes due 2023.
The Offers and the Consent Solicitations are being made solely by means of the Offer Documents. Under no circumstances shall this press release constitute an offer to purchase or the solicitation of an offer to sell the Notes or any other securities of the Company or any other person, nor shall there be any offer or sale of any Notes or other securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such an offer, solicitation, or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction.
