AMENDMENT TO FINAL AMENDMENT TO TENDER OFFER STATEMENT

This Amendment No. 3 (this “Amendment No. 3”) amends and supplements the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO (the “Schedule TO”) originally filed by Bristow Group Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on May 15, 2015, as amended and supplemented by Amendment No. 1 to the Schedule TO filed on May 28, 2015 and Amendment No. 2 to the Schedule TO filed on June 15, 2015 (“Amendment No. 2”), relating to the Company’s offer to repurchase the 3.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2038 that were issued by the Company (the “Notes”).

The holders’ right to surrender Notes for repurchase (the “Offer”) expired at midnight, New York City time, at the end of the day on June 12, 2015. In Amendment No. 2, the Company reported that $98,131,000 aggregate principal amount of the Notes were validly surrendered to U.S. Bank National Association, the paying agent, and not withdrawn and that $16,869,000 aggregate principal amount of the Notes remained outstanding after the Offer. However, due to an administrative error in the surrender process, the Company is filing this Amendment No. 3 to report that $113,131,000 aggregate principal amount of the Notes were validly surrendered to the paying agent and not withdrawn and that $1,869,000 aggregate principal amount of the Notes remains outstanding after the Offer instead of the amounts reported in Amendment No. 2. No other changes are being made to Amendment No. 2.
