EXPLANATORY NOTE

As previously reported, on July 30, 2020, Denbury Resources Inc. (“Legacy Denbury”) and certain of its direct and indirect subsidiaries (together with the Legacy Denbury, the “Company”) commenced voluntary cases (the “Chapter 11 Cases”) under chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas (the “Bankruptcy Court”). The Company’s Chapter 11 Cases were jointly administered under the caption In re Denbury Resources Inc., et al., Case No. 20-33801. On July 30, 2020, the Company filed the Joint Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization of Denbury Resources Inc. and its Debtor Affiliates (as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time, the “Reorganization Plan”) and the related disclosure statement (the “Disclosure Statement”).

•On September 2, 2020, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order confirming the Reorganization Plan and approving the Disclosure Statement.
•On September 18, 2020 (the “Effective Date”), the Reorganization Plan became effective in accordance with its terms and the Company emerged from the Chapter 11 Cases. As a result, effective as of the Effective Date, Denbury Inc., as reorganized pursuant to the Reorganization Plan, became the successor reporting company to Legacy Denbury pursuant to Rule 15d-5 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).

Unless otherwise noted or suggested by context, all financial information and data and accompanying financial statements and corresponding notes, as of and prior to the Effective Date, as incorporated by reference herein, reflect the actual historical consolidated results of operations and financial condition of the Company for the periods presented and do not give effect to the Reorganization Plan or any of the transactions contemplated thereby. Accordingly, such financial information may not be representative of the Company’s performance or financial condition after the Effective Date. Except with respect to such historical financial information and data or as otherwise noted or suggested by context, all other information contained herein relates to the Company following the Effective Date.

This Registration Statement on Form S-8 (“Registration Statement”) is being filed by the Company for the purpose of registering 6,169,591 shares of common stock, $0.001 par value (“Common Stock”), for issuance under the terms of the 2020 LTIP. The shares of Common Stock that are being registered pursuant to this Registration Statement have been reserved and authorized for issuance from the Company’s authorized and unissued capital stock.

Item 4. Description of Securities.

Not applicable.

Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.

None.

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

Under the provisions of Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”), the Company is required to indemnify any present or former officer or director against expenses arising out of legal proceedings in which the director or officer becomes involved by reason of being a director or officer if the director or officer is successful in the defense of such proceedings. Section 145 also provides that the Company may indemnify a director or officer in connection with a proceeding in which he is not successful in defending if it is determined that he acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company or, in the case of a criminal action, if it is determined that he had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. Liabilities for which a director or officer may be indemnified include

Denbury Resources Inc.

amounts paid in satisfaction of settlements, judgments, fines and other expenses (including attorneys’ fees incurred in connection with such proceedings). In a stockholder derivative action, no indemnification may be paid in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which the director or officer has been adjudged to be liable to the Company (except for expenses allowed by a court).

Article IX of the Company’s Third Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Certificate of Incorporation”) requires indemnification of directors, officers and other employees to the fullest extent permitted by Section 145 of the DGCL. Furthermore, Article IX of the Certificate of Incorporation explicitly provides that:

•the Company may advance expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, to individuals entitled to indemnification;
•the Company may not take any action to diminish or reduce the rights of individuals entitled to indemnification after the occurrence of the events to which the indemnification relates;
•any person entitled to indemnification by the Company may bring suit against the Company if it does not pay them within 30 days after receiving a written demand for indemnification and, if successful, such person may recover their expenses for such suit, including attorneys’ fees, from the Company. In the suit, the Company will have the burden of proving any defense that the person is not eligible for indemnification under the DGCL; and
•any director or officer of the Company that is a witness in any action, suit or proceeding, by reason of such position as director or officer of the Company, shall be entitled to indemnification.

Additionally, the Company maintains directors’ and officers’ insurance which includes coverage for liability under the federal securities laws.

Article X of the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation limits the personal liability of a director to the Company or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, provided that a director’s liability may not be limited (i) for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the Company or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 (relating to liability for unauthorized acquisitions or redemptions of, or dividends on, capital stock) of the DGCL or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.

The Company has entered into indemnification agreements with its directors and executive officers. The indemnification agreements do not increase the extent or scope of indemnification provided to the Company’s directors and executive officers under the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, but set forth indemnification and expense advancement rights and establish processes and procedures determining entitlement to obtaining indemnification and advancement of expenses.

Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed.

Not applicable.

Item 9. Undertakings.

(a)The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

(1)to file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:

(i)to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
(ii)to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the Registration Statement; and
(iii)to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material change to such information in the Registration Statement;

provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement;


5

Denbury Resources Inc.

(2)that, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered herein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof; and

(3)to remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

(b)The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that is incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered herein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(c)Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
