 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">This Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO is filed by Bristow Group Inc., a Delaware corporation
(the &#147;Company&#148;), and relates to the Company&#146;s offer to repurchase the 3.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2038 that were issued by the Company (the &#147;Notes&#148;), upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Indenture (as
defined below), the Company Notice dated May&nbsp;15, 2015 (the &#147;Company Notice&#148;), and the related offer materials filed as Exhibit (a)(1)(B) to this Schedule TO (which Company Notice and related offer materials, as amended or supplemented
from time to time, collectively constitute the &#147;Offer Materials&#148;). </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Notes were issued pursuant to the Indenture dated as of
June&nbsp;17, 2008 among the Company, the subsidiary guarantors named therein and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the &#147;Trustee&#148;), as supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture thereto dated as of June&nbsp;17, 2008 among
the Company, the subsidiary guarantors named therein and the Trustee and the Second Supplemental Indenture thereto dated as of October&nbsp;1, 2012 among the Company, the subsidiary guarantors named therein and the Trustee (as so supplemented, the
&#147;Indenture&#148;). The Notes are convertible in certain circumstances into cash and a number of shares of common stock of the Company determined as specified in the Indenture and the terms of the Notes. However, the Notes are not currently
convertible because these conditions have not been satisfied. The initial conversion rate of the Notes was 12.9307, equivalent to a conversion price per share of approximately $77.34. As of May&nbsp;14, 2015, the conversion rate of the Notes was
13.6849, equivalent to a conversion price per share of approximately $73.07. This conversion rate is subject to further adjustment upon the occurrence of certain corporate events but not for accrued interest. In addition, if certain fundamental
changes occur prior to June&nbsp;15, 2015, the Company will in some cases increase the conversion rate for a holder electing to convert Notes in connection with such fundamental change. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The right of holders to surrender their Notes for repurchase by the Company (which we refer to as the &#147;Offer&#148;) will expire at 5:00
p.m., New York City time, on June&nbsp;12, 2015. This Schedule TO is intended to satisfy the disclosure requirements of Rule 13e-4(c)(2) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. </P>

issuer of the Notes, and the Company is offering to purchase for cash all of the Notes if tendered by the holders under the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Indenture, the Notes and the Offer Materials. The Notes are convertible
into shares of the Company. The Company maintains its principal executive offices at 2103 City West Blvd., 4th Floor, Houston, Texas 77042, and its telephone number at that address is (713)&nbsp;267-7600. As permitted by General Instruction F to

<P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman" ALIGN="center"><B>FOR ITS 3.00% CONVERTIBLE SENIOR NOTES DUE 2038 </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>HOUSTON, May&nbsp;15, 2015</B> &#150; Bristow Group Inc. (NYSE: BRS) (&#147;Bristow&#148;) today announced that holders of its 3.00% Convertible Senior
Notes due 2038 have the option to require it to repurchase on June&nbsp;15, 2015 all or any part of such holder&#146;s notes. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The repurchase price will
be $1,000 in cash plus any accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the repurchase date, per $1,000 principal amount. The interest will be paid on the regular interest payment date to the holder of record as of the record date. If all
outstanding notes are surrendered for repurchase, the aggregate repurchase price will be approximately $115,000,000, excluding any required payment of interest on the regular interest payment date. Bristow intends to use available cash, borrowings
under its revolving credit facility and proceeds of any other company financing, as the case may be, to fund the repurchase price. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Holders may exercise
their option to require Bristow to repurchase their notes by delivering a repurchase notice to U.S. Bank National Association, the paying agent, before the expiration of the offer at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on June&nbsp;12, 2015. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The notes are convertible in certain circumstances into cash and a number of shares of common stock of Bristow determined as specified in the notes and the
related indenture. However, the notes are not currently convertible because those circumstances have not been satisfied. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Bristow plans to file a Tender
Offer Statement on Schedule TO with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the &#147;SEC&#148;) later today. Bristow will make available to holders of the notes, through the Depository Trust Company, documents specifying the terms, conditions and
procedures for surrendering and withdrawing notes for repurchase. Holders of the notes are encouraged to read these documents carefully before deciding to exercise their option to require Bristow to repurchase their notes as these documents contain
important information regarding the details of Bristow&#146;s obligation to repurchase the notes. Holders of the notes and other interested parties may obtain a free copy of these statements and other relevant documents at the SEC&#146;s website,
http://www.sec.gov, or from Bristow Group Inc.&#146;s website at www.bristowgroup.com, or from Bristow Group Inc. at 2103 City West Blvd., 4th Floor, Houston, Texas 77042, Attn: Treasurer. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Statements contained in this press release involving the timing of the filing of the Tender Offer Statement, as well as any other statements that are not
historical facts, are forward-looking statements that involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions. These include but are not limited to the actions of holders of the notes and other factors detailed in Bristow&#146;s most recent Form 10-K
and Form 10-Q and other filings with the SEC. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those indicated. </P>
