Item 1.01 - Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

Reserve Based Revolving Credit Facility

On the Effective Date, pursuant to the terms of the Plan, Denbury, as borrower, the lenders party thereto (the "Lenders"), and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, swingline lender and the letter of credit issuer (the "Agent") entered into a reserve based revolving credit agreement (the "Exit Credit Facility") with aggregate commitments in the amount of $575.0 million. The initial borrowing base is $575.0 million until the next redetermination. The borrowing base will be redetermined semiannually on or around May 1 and November 1 of each year, with one interim "wildcard" redetermination available between scheduled redeterminations. The next scheduled redetermination will be on or around May 1, 2021. The initial availability under the Exit Credit Facility is $435 million on the Effective Date before giving effect to any outstanding letters of credit on such date.

The Exit Credit Facility provides for a $100.0 million sublimit of the aggregate commitments that is available for the issuance of letters of credit. The Exit Credit Facility bears interest either at a rate equal to (a) LIBOR plus an applicable margin that varies from 3.00% to 4.00% per annum or (b) a base rate plus an applicable margin that varies from 2.00% to 3.00% per annum. The Exit Credit Facility matures on January 30, 2024.

Denbury is required to pay a commitment fee of 0.50% per annum on the average daily unused portion of the current aggregate commitments under the Exit Credit Facility. Denbury is also required to pay customary letter of credit and fronting fees.

The Exit Credit Facility requires Denbury to maintain (i) a consolidated total leverage ratio of less than or equal to 3.50 to 1.00 and (ii) a consolidated current ratio of greater than or equal to 1.00 to 1.00.

The Exit Credit Facility also contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, including, among other things, as to compliance with laws (including environmental laws and anti-corruption laws), delivery of quarterly and annual financial statements, conduct of business, maintenance of property, maintenance of insurance, restrictions on the incurrence of liens,

indebtedness, investments, asset dispositions, fundamental changes, restricted payments, transactions with affiliates, and other customary covenants.

Additionally, the Exit Credit Facility contains customary events of default and remedies for credit facilities of this nature. If Denbury does not comply with the financial and other covenants in the Exit Credit Facility, the Lenders may, subject to customary cure rights, require immediate payment of all amounts outstanding under the Exit Credit Facility and any outstanding unfunded commitments may be terminated.

This summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Exit Credit Facility, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated by reference herein.

Amended and Restated 2004 Omnibus Stock and Incentive Plan, as amended and restated as of March 28, 2019, which will provide for, among other things, the grant of incentive stock options, nonstatutory stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights, dividend equivalents, other stock-based awards, cash awards, performance awards or any combination of the foregoing. Pursuant to the MIP, Denbury is reserving for employees, directors and other service providers a pool of shares of New Common Stock representing up to 10% of the New Common Stock, determined on a fully diluted and fully distributed basis.

Item 5.03 - Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year

On the Effective Date, in accordance with the Plan, Denbury filed the Third Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the "Certificate of Incorporation") with the Delaware secretary of state. Also on the Effective Date, in accordance with the Plan, Denbury adopted the Fourth Amended and Restated Bylaws (the "Bylaws").

Pursuant to the Certificate of Incorporation, the authorized capital stock of Denbury consists of 250,000,000 shares of New Common Stock and 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share.

Each holder of shares of New Common Stock, as such, shall be entitled to one vote for each share of New Common Stock held of record by such holder on all matters on which stockholders generally are entitled to vote. Except as otherwise required by law or provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, at any annual or special meeting of stockholders, the New Common Stock shall have the exclusive right to vote for the election of directors and on all other matters properly submitted to a vote of the stockholders.

Subject to the rights of any then-outstanding shares of preferred stock, the holders of New Common Stock may receive such dividends as the Board may declare in its discretion out of legally available funds at any regular or special meeting. Holders of New Common Stock will share equally in Denbury's assets upon liquidation after payment or provision for all liabilities and any preferential liquidation rights of any preferred stock then outstanding. Shares of New Common Stock are not subject to any redemption provisions and are not convertible into any of Denbury's other securities.

Preferred Stock

Shares of preferred stock may be issued in one or more series from time to time, with each such series to consist of such number of shares and to have such powers, designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other rights, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, if any, as shall be stated in the resolution or resolutions providing for the issuance of such series adopted by the Board.

It is not possible to state the actual effect of the issuance of any shares of preferred stock upon the rights of holders of Denbury's common stock until the Board determines the specific rights of the holders of the preferred stock. However, these effects might include:

• restricting dividends on the common stock;

• diluting the voting power of the common stock;

• impairing the liquidation rights of the common stock; and

• delaying or preventing a change in control of Denbury.





Anti-Takeover Provisions



                                       7

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Some provisions of Delaware law, the Certificate of Incorporation and the Bylaws summarized below could make certain change of control transactions more difficult, including acquisitions of Denbury by means of a tender offer, proxy contest or otherwise, as well as removal of the incumbent directors. These provisions may have the effect of preventing changes in management. It is possible that these provisions would make it more difficult to accomplish or deter transactions that a stockholder might consider in his or her best interest, including those attempts that might result in a premium over the market price for the New Common Stock.

Business Combinations under Delaware Law

Denbury is not governed by Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the "DGCL").

Number and Election of Directors

The Board shall consist of not less than three nor more than fifteen members, the exact number of which shall be determined from time to time by resolution adopted by a majority of the Board.

Calling of Special Meeting of Stockholders

The Bylaws provide that special meetings of stockholders may be called only by (i) a majority of the Board or (ii) the secretary of Denbury upon the delivery of a written request to Denbury by the holders who own at least 25% of the aggregate voting power of the then issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of Denbury.

Amendments to the Bylaws

The Bylaws may be altered, amended or repealed or new bylaws may be adopted (i) by action of the majority of the Board or (ii) without action of the Board, (x) at a duly called meeting of the stockholders by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of Shares having voting power present in person or represented by proxy at such meeting at which a quorum is present, or (y) by written consent of stockholders holding not less than a majority of the voting power of all outstanding shares of capital stock entitled to vote generally in the election of directors.

Other Limitations on Stockholder Actions

Advance notice is required for stockholders to nominate directors or to submit proposals for consideration at meetings of stockholders. These procedures provide that notice of stockholder proposals must be timely given in writing to the corporate secretary prior to the meeting at which the action is to be taken. Generally, to be timely, notice of stockholder proposals relating to an annual meeting must be received at the principal executive offices not less than 90 days nor more than 120 days prior to the date of the one-year anniversary of the immediately preceding annual meeting of stockholders. The Bylaws specify in detail the requirements as to form and content of all stockholder notices. These requirements may preclude stockholders from bringing matters before the stockholders at an annual or special meeting. The Bylaws also describe certain criteria for when stockholder-requested meetings need not be held.

Directors may be removed from office at any time by the affirmative vote of holders of at least a majority of the outstanding shares of capital stock entitled generally to vote in the election of directors.

Newly Created Directorships and Vacancies on the Board

Under the Bylaws, any newly created directorships resulting from any vacancies on the Board for any reason may be filled solely by a majority vote of the directors then in office, even if less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director, and any newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the number of directors may be filled solely by a majority vote of the directors then in office, or if not so filled, by the stockholders at the next duly called annual meeting or special meeting called for such purpose.

No Cumulative Voting

The Certificate of Incorporation provides that there will be no cumulative voting in the election of directors.

Authorized but Unissued Shares





                                       8

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Under Delaware law, Denbury's authorized but unissued shares of New Common Stock are available for future issuance without stockholder approval. Denbury may use these additional shares of New Common Stock for a variety of corporate purposes, including future public offerings to raise additional capital, acquisitions and employee benefit plans. The existence of authorized but unissued shares of New Common Stock could render more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of Denbury by means of a proxy contest, tender offer, merger or otherwise.

Exclusive Forum

The Certificate of Incorporation provides that, unless Denbury consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (the "Court of Chancery") (or, if and only if the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware lacks subject matter jurisdiction, a state or federal court located within the State of Delaware) and any appellate court therefrom shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, will be the sole and exclusive forum for (i) any derivative action, suit or proceeding brought on . . .

Item 7.01 - Regulation FD Disclosure

On the Effective Date, the Company issued a press release on September 18, 2020, a copy of which is attached to this Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.2.

The information contained in this Item 7.01, including in Exhibit 99.2, shall not be deemed to be "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Exchange Act, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, and shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference into any of the Company's filings under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, whether made before or after the date hereof and regardless of any general incorporation language in such filings, except to the extent expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
