Section 5 – Corporate Governance and Management

Item 5.02 – Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers

At the annual stockholders meeting on May 19, 2015 (the "Annual Meeting"), the stockholders of Denbury Resources Inc. (the "Company") voted to approve an amendment and restatement to the Company's 2004 Omnibus Stock and Incentive Plan (the "2004 Incentive Plan"). The 2004 Incentive Plan was amended and restated primarily to: (1) increase the number of shares that may be issued under the 2004 Incentive Plan by 3,000,000 shares; (2) allow for a broader range of awards to be granted in the future; (3) increase the limits on the number of shares and dollar amounts of awards which may be granted to certain executive officers during a calendar year; (4) introduce a limit on the size of awards which may be granted to non-employee directors during a calendar year; (5) update and conform to the marketplace the 2004 Incentive Plan terms (including various definitions such as that for "change of control"); (6) clarify the payment of dividend equivalents in connection with the payment of dividends; (7) update and expand the performance criteria upon which performance-based awards may be based; and (8) reflect certain administrative changes. The foregoing description of the 2004 Incentive Plan is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the 2004 Incentive Plan, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
