Item 8.01 Other Events.
On May 19, 2009, Encore Energy Partners LP (ENP) and certain affiliates entered into an
underwriting agreement (the Underwriting Agreement) with Barclays Capital Inc., as representative
of the several underwriters named therein (collectively, the Underwriters), providing for the
offer and sale in a firm commitment offering of 2,400,000 common units representing limited partner
interests in ENP (the Common Units) at a public offering price of $15.60 per Common Unit.
Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the Partnership granted the Underwriters a 30-day option to
purchase up to 360,000 additional Common Units at the same price. The offer and sale of the Common
Units is registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act), pursuant
to a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-153768), which was declared effective by the
Securities and Exchange Commission on November 25, 2008. ENP expects the transaction to close on
or about May 22, 2009.
In the Underwriting Agreement, ENP agreed to indemnify the Underwriters against certain
liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or to contribute to payments
the Underwriters may be required to make because of any of those liabilities. A copy of the
Underwriting Agreement is filed as Exhibit 1.1 to this Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by
reference.
Certain of the Underwriters and their related entities have engaged, and may in the future
engage, in commercial and investment banking transactions with ENP in the ordinary course of its
business. In addition, some of the Underwriters have engaged in, and may in the future engage in,
transactions with ENP and Encore Acquisition Company (EAC) and perform services for ENP and EAC
in the ordinary course of their business. Affiliates of certain Underwriters are lenders under
ENPs and EACs credit facilities. These Underwriters and their related entities have received, and
expect to receive, customary compensation and expense reimbursement for these commercial and
investment banking transactions. In addition, Barclays Capital Inc. has served as a financial
advisor and rendered a fairness opinion to EACs Board of Directors in connection with ENPs
acquisition of the certain oil and natural gas properties in the Williston Basin of North Dakota
and Montana from EAC and received compensation for these services.
