On June 22, 2012, Denbury Resources Inc. (the “Company” or “Denbury”) announced that on June 20, 2012, the Board of Directors (the "Board") promoted Craig McPherson, currently Senior Vice President – Production Operations, to Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer and Charlie Gibson, currently Vice President – West Region, to Senior Vice President – Planning, Technology and Business Development, with both appointments effective July 1, 2012.
Mr. McPherson, 53, has over 30 years of experience in the oil and natural gas industry. Prior to joining the Company in May 2011, he was employed for 30 years with ConocoPhillips in a variety of managerial and technical roles, most recently as General Manager – Gulf Coast Business Unit, where he directed ConocoPhillips’ technical, operational and business activities in the Gulf Coast region of the United States. He previously held managerial roles with ConocoPhillips in the United States, Canada, Middle East and Russia. Mr. McPherson earned his B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from Oklahoma State University.
In conjunction with his promotion, on July 1, 2012 Mr. McPherson will be granted restricted stock valued at $500,000, which will vest ratably over a three-year period, with the number of shares of restricted stock to be determined based upon the closing price of Denbury common stock on Friday, June 29, 2012. Also effective July 1, 2012, Mr. McPherson’s base salary will increase to $450,000 from $423,280 and it is expected (subject to the year-end annual review and determination of compensation by the Compensation Committee of the Board) that his target annual rate of total compensation for 2013 will be approximately $3.175 million as compared to approximately $2.615 million previously.
Mr. Gibson joined the Company in September 2002, bringing more than 20 years of experience in the oil and natural gas industry. Since joining the Company, he has been appointed to roles of increasing responsibility and was named Vice President – West Region in early 2008.
