Item 8.01 – Other Events
Divestiture of Non-Core Assets
On June 20, 2016, Denbury Onshore, LLC (“Denbury Onshore”), a subsidiary of Denbury Resources Inc. (together with Denbury Onshore, “Denbury”), entered into an asset purchase and sale agreement to sell its remaining non-core assets in the Williston Basin of North Dakota and Montana (the “Williston Assets”) for $58 million (before closing adjustments). Production from the Williston Assets, a majority of which are currently operated by Denbury Onshore, averaged approximately 1,350 barrels of oil equivalent per day (96% oil), net to Denbury, for the three months ended March 31, 2016. The sale of the Williston Assets is subject to customary closing conditions and is currently expected to close toward the end of July 2016, with an effective date of April 1, 2016. Denbury currently intends to use the proceeds from the sale to initially pay down borrowings on its senior secured bank credit facility.
Settlement of Delhi Field Litigation
On June 24, 2016, Denbury entered into a settlement agreement with Evolution Petroleum Corporation (together with its subsidiaries, “Evolution”) to resolve all outstanding disputes and claims the parties have or may have against each other, including claims the parties have brought against each other in the pending litigation between Denbury and Evolution with respect to the Delhi Field in northeastern Louisiana. Pursuant to the settlement, Denbury and Evolution will dismiss with prejudice all such claims between them with respect to such litigation.
In addition to clarifying certain aspects of the parties ongoing relationship, the settlement resolves (a) claims by Denbury related to the purchase by Denbury of its original Delhi Field interest from Evolution; (b) disputes regarding the occurrence, determination, timing, nature and terms of “payout” and Evolution’s related reversionary interest in the Delhi Field; and (c) any claims by Evolution in connection with the June 2013 incident at the Delhi Field involving a release of well fluids (the “June 2013 Incident”).
Under the terms of the settlement agreement, (1) Denbury will pay Evolution $27.5 million in cash on or before June 30, 2016; (2) effective July 1, 2016, Denbury will convey to Evolution 25% of the interests Denbury acquired in late 2014 in the Mengel Sand Interval, a separate interval within the Delhi Unit which Denbury purchased for approximately $6.5 million, and which interval is not currently producing; (3) effective July 1, 2016, Denbury will be credited with an additional 0.2226% overriding royalty interest in the Holt-Bryant interval (the currently producing interval of the Delhi Unit); (4) the parties reached agreement as to the ownership of certain field assets, and established future CO2 pipeline transportation charges following the end of the current ten-year fixed price arrangement set to expire in 2019; and (5) Evolution waived and released any claims it may have to any insurance proceeds that may be received by Denbury as a result of existing claims made by Denbury with respect to the June 2013 Incident.
