Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On December 19, 2018, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Bristow Group Inc. (the “Company”) adopted the First Amendment (the “First Amendment”) to the Deferred Compensation Plan, as previously amended and restated effective as of August 1, 2008 (the “Plan”), for certain senior executives.
 
Effective as of December 31, 2018, the First Amendment eliminates mandatory annual Company contributions to each participant’s Employer Contribution Account (as such term is defined in the Plan), other than Company contributions allocated in calendar year 2018 but to be settled in calendar year 2019. The Plan otherwise remains in effect, and amounts previously deferred under the Plan remain subject to the terms and provisions of the Plan.

The description of the First Amendment set forth above is qualified in its entirety by the First Amendment, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto.

Item 9.01. Financial Statements and Exhibits.
