(the "Registrant"), was organized to enable its predecessor, formerly Denbury Resources Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Predecessor"), to adopt a holding company organizational structure in accordance with Section 251(g) of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the "DGCL"). In accordance with Rule 414, the Registrant, as the successor issuer to the Predecessor in the holding company reorganization described below, is filing this Amendment No. 2 to Registration Statement No.333-107676 in order to hereby expressly adopt Registration Statement No. 333-107676 on Form S-3 as its own for all purposes under the Securities Act and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Registration fees were paid at the time of filing the original Registration Statement. The purposes of creating the holding company structure are to better reflect the operating practices and methods of Denbury, to improve its economics, and to provide greater administrative and operational flexibility. The holding company organizational structure was effected pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger to Form Holding Company (the "Merger Agreement") among the Predecessor, the Registrant, and Denbury Onshore, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Registrant ("Onshore"). The Merger Agreement provided for the merger of the Predecessor into Onshore, with Onshore continuing as the surviving entity and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Registrant (the "Merger"). The Merger became effective at 9:00 a.m. EST on December 29, 2003. Prior to the Merger, the Registrant was a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of the Predecessor organized for the purpose of implementing the holding company organizational structure. Pursuant to Section 251(g) of the DGCL, stockholder approval of the Merger was not required. The reorganization was structured so that it is tax-free to Denbury stockholders. By virtue of the Merger, all of the Predecessor's outstanding common stock was converted, on a share for share basis, into common stock of the Registrant. As a result, each stockholder of the Predecessor became the owner of an identical number of shares of common stock of the Registrant. Additionally, each treasury share of the Predecessor was automatically converted into a treasury share of the Registrant. Also, each outstanding option to purchase shares of the Predecessor's common stock was automatically converted into an option to purchase, upon the same terms and conditions, an identical number of shares of the Registrant's common stock. The conversion of shares of stock in the Merger occurred without an exchange of certificates. Accordingly, certificates formerly representing shares of outstanding stock of the Predecessor are deemed to represent the same number of shares of stock of the Registrant. The Registrant's common stock will continue to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol "DNR" without interruption and the Registrant will use the same name as the Predecessor, "Denbury Resources Inc." In the Merger, each stockholder received securities of the same class, evidencing the same proportional interests in the Registrant and having the same designations, rights, powers and preferences, and qualifications, limitations and restrictions, as those that the stockholder held in the Predecessor. Pursuant to Section 251(g) of the DGCL, the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Registrant contain provisions substantially identical to those of the Predecessor prior to the Merger. Also pursuant to Section 251(g) of the DGCL, the limited liability company agreement of Onshore contains a provision that any act or transaction by or involving Onshore, the entity that survived the merger between it and the Predecessor, other than the election or removal of managers of Onshore, (1) that requires for its adoption under Onshore's limited liability company agreement the approval of its sole member, a new subsidiary of the Registrant, Denbury Operating Company ("OPCO"), or (2) that would require the approval of the stockholders of Onshore if Onshore were a corporation subject to the DGCL (other than the election or removal of directors), shall also require the approval of the stockholders of the Registrant by the same vote that is required by the DGCL and/or Onshore's limited liability company agreement. The authorized capital stock of the Registrant, the designations, rights, powers and preferences of such capital stock and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof are also substantially identical to those of the Predecessor's capital stock immediately prior to the Merger. The directors and executive officers of the Registrant are the same individuals who were directors and executive officers, respectively, of the Predecessor immediately prior to the Merger. Following and in connection with the Merger, Denbury is restructuring its downstream subsidiaries through which operations will be conducted. 2 Item 16.
