PLANO, Texas, Dec. 10, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Denbury Resources Inc. (NYSE:DNR) ("Denbury" or the "Company") today announced that it has entered into a new five-year revolving credit facility which amends and restates the Company's prior facility that was set to mature in May 2016. This new amended and restated revolving credit facility ("Facility") has a maximum facility size of $3.5 billion and an initial borrowing base of $3 billion. The Company elected to maintain the aggregate lender commitments at $1.6 billion to be consistent with the Company's prior facility.

The Facility was provided by a syndicate of 24 financial institutions including JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, and Bank of America, N.A. and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association as co-syndication agents.
