EXPLANATORY NOTE / DEREGISTRATION OF SECURITITES

Denbury Resources Inc. (the "Registrant") is filing this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to Registration Statement (No. 333-189438) on Form S-8 (the "Registration Statement") to deregister any and all common stock registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Registration Statement and reserved for issuance under its Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "ESPP") that remain unsold as of the date hereof and to terminate the effectiveness of the Registration Statement. The shares reserved for issuance under the ESPP are being deregistered because the ESPP was terminated, effective at the end of the offering period ending on March 31, 2015.

The offering of securities pursuant to the Registrant's 2004 Omnibus Stock and Incentive Plan (the "2004 Plan") is still ongoing and, to the extent shares of common stock covered by the Registration Statement are issuable and reserved for issuance under the 2004 Plan, the registration of the offer and sale of such shares is not affected by this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1.
