Price, Carrie Wheeler and the other members of the Texas Pacific Group for their
contribution  to the  Company  during the last eight  years.  The Texas  Pacific
Group, led by Mr. Bonderman and Mr. Price, has been instrumental in our success.
Their broad business experience and acumen have brought significant guidance and
direction to Denbury's  board at a crucial  time in the  Company's  evolution to
becoming a significant player in the independent sector.

         I look forward to the contribution that Don Wolf's long history of
hands-on experience in the industry will bring to the stewardship of Denbury as
the company moves into its next stage of growth as a focused and disciplined
growth Company."
