Organization and Nature of Operations

Denbury Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) is an independent energy company with operations focused in the Gulf Coast and Rocky Mountain regions of the United States. The Company is differentiated by its focus on CO2 enhanced oil recovery (“EOR”) and the emerging carbon capture, utilization, and storage (“CCUS”) industry, supported by the Company’s CO2 EOR technical and operational expertise and its extensive CO2 pipeline infrastructure.

On July 13, 2023, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) by and among the Company, Exxon Mobil Corporation, a New Jersey corporation (“ExxonMobil”), and EMPF Corporation, a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of ExxonMobil (“Merger Sub”). Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, on November 2, 2023, Merger Sub merged with and into the Company (the “Merger”), with the Company surviving the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of ExxonMobil (the “Surviving Corporation”).

On November 2, 2023 (the “Effective Time”), each share of Company common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Denbury Common Stock”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (including the unvested restricted stock of the Company, but excluding shares of Denbury Common Stock held (1) in treasury (excluding Denbury Common Stock subject to or issuable in connection with a Company employee benefit plan) or (2) by ExxonMobil or Merger Sub, which were cancelled at the Effective Time) was cancelled and converted into the right to receive 0.840 shares of ExxonMobil common stock, without par value (“ExxonMobil Common Stock”) (together with cash in lieu of fractional shares, the “Merger Consideration”), without interest and subject to any applicable withholding taxes, in accordance with the Merger Agreement.

Additionally, each Company restricted stock unit (each, a “Denbury RSU”), each Company deferred stock unit (each, a “Denbury DSU”) and each Company performance stock unit whose vesting was subject to performance goals related to absolute or relative total shareholder return (each, a “Denbury TSR Performance Award”) that was outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether vested or unvested, automatically became fully vested and was canceled and converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration in accordance with the Merger Agreement in respect of the total number of shares of Denbury Common Stock subject to each respective Denbury RSU, Denbury DSU and Denbury TSR Performance Award (in the case of the Denbury TSR Performance Awards, with such number determined based on actual performance levels, calculated in accordance with the underlying award agreements), without interest and subject to any applicable withholding taxes.

The issuance of ExxonMobil Common Stock in connection with the Merger was registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), pursuant to ExxonMobil’s registration statement on Form S-4, as amended (File No. 333-274252), which was declared effective by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on September 29, 2023.

The foregoing description of the Merger, the Merger Agreement, and the transactions contemplated thereby, is a summary only, does not purport to be complete, and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Merger Agreement, a copy of which is attached as Annex A to the Company’s Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A, filed with the SEC on September 29, 2023.

Interim Financial Statements

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Denbury Inc. and its subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC and do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements.  These financial statements and the notes thereto should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 (the “Form 10-K”).  Unless indicated otherwise or the context requires, the terms “we,” “our,” “us,” “Company” or “Denbury,” refer to Denbury Inc. and its subsidiaries.

Accounting measurements at interim dates inherently involve greater reliance on estimates than at year end, and the results of operations for the interim periods shown in this report are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the year.  In
management’s opinion, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary for a fair presentation of our consolidated financial position as of September 30, 2023, our consolidated results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, our consolidated cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, and our consolidated statements of changes in stockholders’ equity for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022.

Reclassifications

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. Such reclassifications had no impact on our reported net income (loss), current assets, total assets, current liabilities, total liabilities or stockholders’ equity.

Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Restricted Cash

We consider all highly liquid investments to be cash equivalents if they have maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase. The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash as reported within the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets to “Cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash at end of period” as reported within the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows:
In thousandsSeptember 30, 2023September 30, 2022
Cash and cash equivalents$803 $519 
Restricted cash for future asset retirement obligations49,027 47,633 
Total cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash shown in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows$49,830 $48,152 

Restricted cash for future asset retirement obligations in the table above consists of escrow accounts that are legally restricted for certain of our asset retirement obligations.

Net Income (Loss) per Common Share

Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.  Basic weighted average common shares exclude shares of nonvested restricted stock (although nonvested restricted stock is issued and outstanding upon grant). As these restricted shares vest, they will be included in the shares outstanding used to calculate basic net income (loss) per common share.  Restricted stock units and performance stock units are also excluded from basic weighted average common shares outstanding until the vesting date. Basic weighted average common shares during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 includes 1,775,182 performance-based and restricted stock units which are fully vested as of September 30, 2023; however, the shares underlying these awards are not included in shares currently issued or outstanding as actual delivery of the shares had not occurred as of September 30, 2023.

Diluted net income (loss) per common share is calculated in the same manner but includes the impact of all potentially dilutive securities. Potentially dilutive securities include restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance stock units, shares to be issued under the employee stock purchase plan (“ESPP”), and warrants.

For each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, there were no adjustments to net income (loss) for purposes of calculating basic and diluted net income (loss) per common share.
For the three months ended September 30, 2023, the weighted average common shares outstanding used to calculate basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share were the same, since the Company recorded a net loss during the period. The following table sets forth the weighted average shares used for purposes of calculating basic and diluted net income (loss) per common share for the periods indicated:

For purposes of calculating diluted weighted average common shares, unvested restricted stock units, unvested restricted stock, unvested performance stock units, unissued ESPP shares and unexercised warrants are included in the diluted shares computation using the treasury stock method.

The following outstanding securities were excluded from the computation of diluted net income (loss) per share for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, as their effect would have been antidilutive, as of the respective dates:

(1)    Antidilutive shares for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 reflect total shares excluded from the computation of diluted net income per share that are potentially dilutive in the future, assuming performance stock units at the target level. Shares disclosed for the period ended September 30, 2022 have been revised to be consistent with the current year presentation.

At September 30, 2023, the Company had 1.0 million Series A warrants outstanding exercisable for shares of our common stock, on a cash or cashless basis, at an exercise price of $32.59 per share for each of the Series A warrants outstanding. Outstanding Series B warrants expired on September 18, 2023, in accordance with the Series B warrant agreement. From issuance through September 30, 2023, a total of 1.6 million Series A warrants and a total of 2.7 million Series B warrants have been exercised for a total of 2.7 million shares, most of which were exercised on a cashless basis. During October 2023, 1.0 million Series A warrants were exercised resulting in the issuance of 0.8 million shares, and any remaining unexercised Series A warrants expired prior to the effective time of the Merger.

Oil and Natural Gas Properties

Write-Down of Oil and Natural Gas Properties. Under full cost accounting, the net capitalized costs of oil and natural gas properties are limited to the lower of unamortized cost or the cost center ceiling. The cost center ceiling is defined as (1) the present value of estimated future net revenues from proved oil and natural gas reserves before future abandonment costs (discounted at 10%), based on the average first-day-of-the-month oil and natural gas price for each month during a 12-month rolling period prior to the end of a particular reporting period; plus (2) the cost of properties not being amortized; plus (3) the lower of cost or estimated fair value of unproved properties included in the costs being amortized, if any; less (4) related income tax effects. Our future net revenues from proved oil and natural gas reserves are not reduced for development costs related to the cost of drilling for and developing CO2 reserves nor those related to the cost of constructing CO2 pipelines, as we
do not have to incur additional CO2 capital costs to develop the proved oil and natural gas reserves. Therefore, we include in the ceiling test, as a reduction of future net revenues, that portion of our capitalized CO2 costs related to CO2 reserves and CO2 pipelines that we estimate will be consumed in the process of producing our proved oil and natural gas reserves. The fair value of our oil and natural gas derivative contracts is not included in the ceiling test, as we do not designate these contracts as hedge instruments for accounting purposes. The cost center ceiling test is prepared quarterly.

We did not record a ceiling test write-down during the three or nine months ended September 30, 2023 or September 30, 2022.

Equity Method Investments
In accordance with equity method accounting, we record our initial equity investments at cost and periodically adjust the value of the investment balance to recognize (1) the proportionate share of the investee’s net income or losses after the date of investment, (2) additional contributions made and dividends or distributions received, and (3) impairment losses resulting from adjustments to net realizable value. The investments are included in “Other assets” in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of September 30, 2023. We evaluate our equity method investments for other-than-temporary impairment on a periodic basis.
