Denbury said on Tuesday its shareholders approved the company's merger with Exxon Mobil, with the deal closing expected on Nov. 2.

Exxon Mobil in July agreed to buy the Plano, Texas-based Denbury for $4.9 billion to accelerate its energy transition business with an established carbon dioxide (CO2) sequestration operation.
