Appointment of Director

On September 12, 2012, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Endeavour International Corporation appointed Ashok Nayyar as a Class I Director, to serve until our 2013 annual shareholders’ meeting. Mr. Nayar will serve as a non-independent director and as a member of the Technology & Reserves Committee of the Board. Mr. Nayyar’s compensation for his services as a director will be consistent with that of our other non-employee directors, including a grant of restricted shares of common stock valued at $125,000 on date of grant (equivalent to 13,412 shares as of September 12, 2012). There are no understandings or arrangements between Mr. Nayyar and any other person pursuant to which Mr. Nayyar was elected to serve as a director of the Company.

Mr. Nayyar is the Founding Partner and Chief Investment Officer of Cyan Partners, LP (“Cyan”), a middle market direct lending fund. As of September 12, 2012, Mr. Nayyar owned 428,572 shares of our common stock. In addition, Cyan Partners L.P. owned 20,166 shares of our common stock and Cyan Partners Capital owned 404,040 shares of our common stock. Mr. Nayyar is the Senior Managing Director and majority owner of both Cyan Partners L.P. and Cyan Partners Capital.

During 2012, we and our wholly-owned subsidiary, Endeavour Energy UK Limited (“Endeavour UK”) entered into a credit agreement with Cyan, as administrative agent, and the lenders party thereto, providing for a revolving credit facility, as amended, and borrowed $100 million against the facility. In August 2010, we entered into a credit agreement with Cyan, as administrative agent, and various lenders for a senior term loan, in the aggregate amount of $150 million, which was subsequently increased to $235 million (the “Senior Term Loan”). On May 31, 2012, we repaid all amounts outstanding under the Senior Term Loan. This repayment included a prepayment fee of approximately $7 million. Following the repayment, the Senior Term Loan was terminated and all of the liens on the collateral securing our obligations were released.

In addition, on May 31, 2012, Endeavour and Endeavour UK entered into a reimbursement agreement (the “Reimbursement Agreement”) with New Pearl S.à r.l. (the “Pledgor”), an unaffiliated third party entity in which the Company has no interest or control, and Cyan, as collateral agent. The Reimbursement Agreement was entered into in connection with the Pledgor’s entry into a credit support arrangement with BNP Paribas (the “LC Provider”), pursuant to which the Pledgor pledged cash to secure a letter of credit issued by the LC Provider for Endeavour UK’s account in the amount of approximately £77 million (approximately $120 million as of May 31, 2012). The letter of credit secures Endeavour UK’s decommissioning obligations for the Alba field until 2014.

Departure of Director

Also on September 12, 2012, Leiv L. Nergaard informed our Board of his decision to resign from the Board effective immediately to devote more time to his on-going business and personal activities in Norway. Mr. Nergaard confirmed that his decision to resign was not as a result of any disagreement with Endeavour or our management on any matter relating to our operations, policies or practices. Mr. Nergaard served on the Audit and Nominating & Corporate Governance Committees. Concurrently with his resignation, Mr. Nergaard vested in 33,626 shares of restricted common stock.

The press release announcing the appointment of Mr. Nayyar and the resignation of Mr. Nergaard is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
