Item 1.01.

(“Old Bristow”) following the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of January 23, 2020 (as amended on April 22, 2020), by and among the Company, Ruby Redux Merger Sub, Inc. (“Merger Sub”), and Old Bristow (the “Merger Agreement”), to which Merger Sub merged with and into Old Bristow, with Old Bristow surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger”). In connection with the Merger, the Company changed its name to Bristow Group Inc., and its ticker symbol to “VTOL”, and Old Bristow changed its name to Bristow Holdings U.S. Inc. (the “Name Change”).
Upon completion of the Merger, the shares of Old Bristow common stock, par value $0.0001 (“Old Bristow Common Stock”) that were outstanding immediately prior to the closing of the Merger (including, among other things, shares issued as a result of the conversion of all outstanding shares of Old Bristow preferred stock, par value $0.0001 (“Old Bristow Preferred Stock”) and certain shares of Old Bristow Common Stock held in reserve to settle claims from Old Bristow’s Bankruptcy) were converted into the right to receive, in the aggregate, a number of shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 (“Company Common Stock”), equal to the product of (i) 77% multiplied by (ii) the quotient of (x) the number of shares of Company Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Merger, calculated on a fully diluted basis, as adjusted for the Reverse Stock Split (as defined below), divided by (y) 23% (the “Aggregate Merger Consideration”). Each holder of Old Bristow Common Stock, other than holders of dissenting shares, received, for each share of Old Bristow Common Stock, a number of shares of Company Common Stock equal to the Aggregate Merger Consideration divided by the number of shares of Old Bristow Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Merger (including, among others, shares issued as a result of the conversion of Old Bristow Preferred Stock and any shares underlying Bristow options or restricted stock units) and cash in lieu of fractional shares.
Immediately prior to the Merger, the Company effected a reverse stock split (the “Reverse Stock Split”), to which the shares of Company Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the effectiveness of the Reverse Stock Split were reclassified into a smaller number of shares such that a stockholder of the Company prior to the Reverse Stock Split owns one share of Company Common Stock for each three shares of Company Common Stock held immediately prior to the effectiveness of the Reverse Stock Split.
After giving effect to the Reverse Stock Split a total of 7,175,029 shares of Company Common Stock were issued and outstanding (including restricted stock awards), as well as an additional 52,256 shares of Company Common Stock underlying other Company equity awards. Approximately 23,026,993 shares of Company Common Stock were issued as consideration in the Merger to holders of Old Bristow common stock (including shares issued as a result of the Old Bristow preferred stock conversion), exclusive of shares underlying equity awards, reserve shares and shares of shareholders purporting to dissent. Holders of the Old Bristow Common Stock Awards received Company equity awards entitling them to receive an aggregate of approximately 210,496 shares of Company Common Stock (exclusive of shares underlying unvested equity awards forfeited at the closing of the Merger) upon exercise or vesting thereof, as applicable, or approximately 0.7% of the fully diluted shares. Holders of the Old Bristow Preferred Stock Awards received Company equity awards entitling them to receive an aggregate of approximately 538,601 shares of Company Common Stock (exclusive of shares underlying unvested equity awards forfeited at the closing of the Merger) upon exercise or vesting thereof, as applicable, or approximately 1.7% of the fully diluted shares.
