Item 5.02.		Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors.

(b) On September 2, 2010, Arnold L. Chavkin and Clayton Melton resigned as members of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Encore Energy Partners GP LLC (the “General Partner”), the general partner of Encore Energy Partners LP (NYSE: ENP) (“ENP”), effective immediately.

(d) Denbury Resources Inc. (NYSE: DNR) (“Denbury”), through its indirect wholly-owned subsidiary, which owns the General Partner, has appointed six new directors to the Board of the General Partner.

Four of the new directors, appointed August 30, 2010, are members of Denbury’s senior management: Phil Rykhoek, Ronald T. Evans, Robert Cornelius and Mark C. Allen. These new directors will not receive compensation related to their services as directors.

Two of the new directors, Martin G. White and David C. Baggett, were appointed on September 1, 2010. It is expected that Messrs. White and Baggett will be deemed to meet the independence qualification and experience requirements of the New York Stock Exchange and Securities and Exchange Commission rules and that they will both serve on the Audit Committee and the Conflicts Committee of the General Partner. The compensation of these two new directors will be consistent with the compensation of the existing independent directors.

Item 8.01		Other Events.

Denbury and ENP have terminated their previously announced consideration of a transaction between them regarding Elk Basin Field. No agreement could be reached on the value of the potential tertiary reserves. Denbury will now focus on its previously announced intent to sell its interest in the General Partner and all or part of the ENP common units that Denbury owns.

Item 9.01		Financial Statements and Exhibits.

A copy of the press release issued by ENP and Denbury regarding the Board changes and the transactions describe above is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
