As previously disclosed, on January 24, 2024 (the “Facility Agreement Signing Date”), Bristow Aircraft Leasing Limited (“BALL”) entered into a Deed of Amendment and Restatement (the “BALL Amendment”) among BALL, as borrower, Bristow Group Inc. (the “Company”), as parent guarantor, Bristow U.S. Leasing LLC (“BULL”), Bristow Helicopters Limited (“BHL”), the banks and financial institutions party thereto and National Westminster Bank Plc, pursuant to which the parties thereto agreed to amend and restate that certain Facility Agreement, dated as of January 10, 2023, among BALL, as borrower, the lenders from time to time party thereto and National Westminster Bank Plc, as arranger, agent and security trustee (the “Existing BALL Facility Agreement” and, as amended by the BALL Amendment, the “Amended BALL Facility Agreement”). The BALL Amendment was entered into in order to, among other things, amend and restate the Existing BALL Facility Agreement to include changes to reflect that BALL will be providing a guarantee of the commitments in respect of a senior secured term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to pound sterling (“GBP”) 55 million (the “BHL Term Loan Facility” and the term loans thereunder, collectively the “BHL Term Loan”) and that BHL will be providing a guarantee of the term loan under the Amended BALL Facility Agreement.
On April 16, 2024, the conditions precedent in Part A of Schedule 1 of the BALL Amendment were satisfied and the BALL Amendment became effective.

The foregoing description of the BALL Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the BALL Amendment, a copy of which was attached as Exhibit 10.2 to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on January 24, 2024.

The BULL Amendment was entered into in order to, among other things, amend and restate the Existing BULL Facility Agreement to include changes to reflect that BULL will be providing a guarantee of the BHL Term Loan and that BHL will be providing a guarantee of the term loan under the Amended BULL Facility Agreement.

On April 16, 2024, the conditions precedent in Part A of Schedule 1 of the BULL Amendment were satisfied and the BULL Amendment became effective.

The foregoing description of the BULL Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the BULL Amendment, a copy of which was attached as Exhibit 10.3 to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company with the SEC on January 24, 2024.

BHL Term Loan

As previously disclosed, on the Facility Agreement Signing Date, BHL, a subsidiary of the Company, entered into a Facility Agreement (the “BHL Facility Agreement”) among BHL, as borrower, the lenders from time to time party thereto and National Westminster Bank Plc, as arranger, agent and security trustee, pursuant to which the lenders have agreed to provide commitments in respect of the BHL Term Loan Facility.

On April 16, 2024, the first Utilisation Date (as defined in the BHL Facility Agreement) occurred under the BHL Facility Agreement, and BHL borrowed approximately GBP 26 million.

The foregoing description of the BHL Facility Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the BHL Facility Agreement, a copy of which was attached as Exhibit 10.1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company with the SEC on January 24, 2024.
