Forward-Looking Statements Disclosure
This press
release contains "forward-looking statements". Forward-looking
statements represent Bristow's current expectations or forecasts of
future events. These forward-looking statements include statements
regarding expectations with respect to the Irish Coast Guard
Aviation Service contract and related procurement process. These
statements are made under the safe harbor provisions of the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, reflect management's
current views with respect to future events and therefore are
subject to significant risks and uncertainties, both known and
unknown.
Risks that may affect such forward-looking statements include,
but are not necessarily limited to, those relating to: the
existence of operating risks inherent in our business, including
the possibility of declining safety performance; changes in U.S.
and foreign social, political, regulatory and economic conditions
as well as by changes in tariffs, trade agreements or other trade
restrictions imposed by the U.S. or foreign governments;
requirements to obtain an Air Operator's Certificate from the
relevant country's applicable regulatory agency and to conduct many
of our international operations through entities in which we have a
noncontrolling interest or through strategic alliances with foreign
partners; the possibility of political instability, war or acts of
terrorism in any of the countries where we operate or are seeking
contracts; and the possibility that reductions in spending on
aviation services by governmental agencies where we are seeking
contracts could adversely affect or lead to modifications of the
procurement process or that such reductions in spending could
adversely affect search and rescue contract terms or otherwise
delay service or the receipt of payments under such contracts. If
one or more of the foregoing risks materialize, or if underlying
assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially
from those expected. You should not place undue reliance on our
forward-looking statements because the matters they describe are
subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other
unpredictable factors, many of which are beyond our control.
Our forward-looking statements are based on the information
currently available to us and speak only as of the date hereof. We
disclaim any obligation or undertaking to provide any updates or
revisions to any forward-looking statement to reflect any change in
the Company's expectations or any change in events, conditions or
circumstances on which the forward-looking statement is based that
occur after the date hereof, except as may be required by
applicable law.
New risks and uncertainties arise from time to time, and it is
impossible for us to predict these matters or how they may affect
us. We have included important factors in the section entitled
"Risk Factors" in the Company's Transition Report on Form 10-KT for
the nine-month period ended December 31,
2022 (the "Transition Report") which we believe over time,
could cause our actual results, performance or achievements to
differ from the anticipated results, performance or achievements
that are expressed or implied by our forward-looking statements.
You should consider all risks and uncertainties disclosed in the
Transition Report and in our filings with the United States
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), all of which are
accessible on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.
