(“Bristow”) under the Plan, and any investments of Plan accounts in Bristow Common Stock have been frozen so that participants may only liquidate those shares. In light of the foregoing, Bristow has filed a post-effective amendment on Form S-8 with the Securities and Exchange Commission to terminate the offering and deregister all of the unsold shares of Common Stock and related plan interests offered to employees under the Plan. Upon the filing of this Form 15, the Plan’s obligation to prepare and file an annual report on Form 11-K will be suspended.
