On September 19, 2012, Denbury Onshore, LLC, (the “Company”), a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Denbury Resources Inc. entered into an exchange agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) with Exxon Mobil Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiary XTO Energy Inc. (collectively, “ExxonMobil”).  Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, on the closing date the Company will transfer its Bakken assets in North Dakota and Montana to ExxonMobil in exchange for $1.6 billion in cash (the “Cash Consideration”), subject to closing adjustments, and ExxonMobil’s operating interests in Webster Field in Texas and Hartzog Draw Field in Wyoming.

The transaction is subject to satisfactory completion of customary title and environmental due diligence, as well as approval from the syndicate of banks under the Company’s credit facility and the satisfaction of customary closing conditions, including the termination or expiration of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976.  The transaction is expected to close late in the fourth quarter of 2012 and, pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, will have a July 1, 2012 effective date (the “Effective Date”).  The Cash Consideration is subject to adjustments for revenues and costs of the respective assets from the Effective Date to the closing date.

A copy of the Exchange Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1 and is incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing description of the Exchange Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Exchange Agreement.
