(1)  The total number of voting ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Ordinary Shares”), reported includes, on an as-converted basis (based on the current conversion price), but subject to the 49.9% cap described below, convertible preferred shares (“Preferred Shares”) that are convertible into Ordinary Shares at the holder’s option, any time at a conversion price currently equal to $228.06 per Ordinary Share (which conversion price generally increases by 0.25% every quarter until the eighth anniversary of November 12, 2014, which was the second closing (the “Second Closing”) contemplated by that certain Investment Agreement, entered into on August 21, 2014, by and among the Issuer and affiliates of CD&R Holdings (referred to together with the exhibits thereto as the “Investment Agreement”), in each case, taking into account preferred dividends that have accrued and that are anticipated to be accrued on the foregoing Preferred Shares within 60 days of the date hereof, and as described in Items 4 and 5 of the Schedule 13D. Each Preferred Share is entitled to vote with holders of the Ordinary Shares on an as-converted basis, based on the then-current conversion price, and accrued dividends through the date of conversion. The aggregate Ordinary Shares that may be issued upon conversion of Preferred Shares held by the Reporting Persons may not exceed 49.9% of the total Ordinary Shares outstanding immediately after such conversion and, for each Ordinary Share not issued due to this limitation, the Reporting Persons will receive a non-voting ordinary share, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Issuer (a “non-voting Ordinary Share”). Accordingly, the number of Ordinary Shares reported in this Schedule 13D/A as beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons and the percentage that such shares represent of the class of Ordinary Shares exclude 306,134 non-voting Ordinary Shares issuable in respect of these Preferred Shares. All of these shares may be deemed to be beneficially owned by CD&R Investment Associates IX, Ltd., as the general partner of CD&R Holdings (“CD&R Holdings GP”).

(2)  The total amount of shares reported excludes 1,530,011 Ordinary Shares held by 6922767 Holding (Cayman) Inc. (“CaymanCo”) that CD&R Holdings may be deemed to beneficially own because CD&R Holdings and CaymanCo comprise a “group” within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Act.

(3)  CD&R Holdings’ voting percentage is 49.9%, calculated using a fraction, the denominator of which is 5,432,071 (calculated by adding the 2,721,468 Ordinary Shares outstanding as of January 31, 2016, as reported in the Issuer’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, filed March 4, 2016, plus the total number of Ordinary Shares described in footnote (1) above, but excluding all non-voting Ordinary Shares). The total number of Ordinary Shares outstanding is calculated after giving effect to a 1-for-30 reverse share split of the Company that became effective on December 11, 2015.

(1)  The total number of Ordinary Shares, reported includes, on an as-converted basis (based on the current conversion price), but subject to the 49.9% cap described below, Preferred Shares that are convertible into Ordinary Shares at the holder’s option, any time at a conversion price currently equal to $228.06 per Ordinary Share (which conversion price generally increases by 0.25% every quarter until the eighth anniversary of the Second Closing contemplated by the Investment Agreement), in each case, taking into account preferred dividends that have accrued and that are anticipated to be accrued on the foregoing Preferred Shares within 60 days of the date hereof, and as described in Items 4 and 5 of the Schedule 13D. Each Preferred Share is entitled to vote with holders of the Ordinary Shares on an as-converted basis, based on the then-current conversion price, and accrued dividends through the date of conversion. The aggregate Ordinary Shares that may be issued upon conversion of Preferred Shares held by the Reporting Persons may not exceed 49.9% of the total Ordinary Shares outstanding immediately after such conversion and, for each Ordinary Share not issued due to this limitation, the Reporting Persons will receive a non-voting Ordinary Share. Accordingly, the number of Ordinary Shares reported in this Schedule 13D/A as beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons and the percentage that such shares represent of the class of Ordinary Shares exclude 306,134 non-voting Ordinary Shares issuable in respect of these Preferred Shares. All of these shares may be deemed to be beneficially owned by CD&R Holdings GP.

(2) The total amount of shares reported excludes 1,530,011 Ordinary Shares held by CaymanCo that CD&R Holdings may be deemed to beneficially own because CD&R Holdings and CaymanCo comprise a “group” within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Act.

(3)  CD&R Holdings’ voting percentage is 49.9%, calculated using a fraction, the denominator of which is 5,432,071 (calculated by adding the 2,721,468 Ordinary Shares outstanding as of January 31, 2016, as reported in the Issuer’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, filed March 4, 2016, plus the total number of Ordinary Shares described in footnote (1) above, but excluding all non-voting Ordinary Shares).

AMENDMENT NO. 2 TO SCHEDULE 13D

 

This Amendment No. 2 amends and supplements the Statement on Schedule 13D filed by CD&R CHC Holdings, L.P., a Cayman Islands exempted limited partnership (“CD&R Holdings”), and (ii) CD&R Investment Associates IX, Ltd. (“CD&R Holdings GP”) (together with CD&R Holdings, collectively, the “Reporting Persons”) with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on November 10, 2014 (the “Schedule 13D”), with respect to the voting ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Ordinary Shares”), of CHC Group Ltd., a Cayman Islands exempted company (the “Company”).  Each Item below amends and supplements the information disclosed in the corresponding Item of the Schedule 13D, and except as specifically amended by this Amendment No. 2, items in the Schedule 13D remain unchanged.  Unless otherwise indicated, all capitalized terms used and not defined herein have the respective meanings assigned to them in the Schedule 13D.

 

Item 6.   Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

 

The disclosure in Item 6 of the Schedule 13D is amended by adding the following to the end of the section entitled “CD&R Shareholders’ Agreement and CD&R Registration Rights Agreement”:

 

On April 26, 2016, Jonathan Lewis and Jeffrey K. Quake informed the Company that they were resigning from the board of directors of the Company and all committees thereof, with immediate effect.   Mr. Lewis served on the Audit Committee, Compensation Committee and the Health, Safety and Compliance Committee.  Mr. Quake served on the Compensation Committee.  Neither of these resignations was a result of a disagreement with management.

 

Subsequently, CD&R Holdings agreed to modify its director appointment rights such that CD&R will have the right to appoint three directors for so long as there are fewer than nine directors occupying seats on the board, pursuant to the CD&R Shareholders’ Agreement, dated as of October 30, 2014, among the Company, CD&R Holdings and the other parties thereto.

 

The other material terms of such CD&R Shareholders’ Agreement are described in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities Exchange Commission (or the SEC) on August 27, 2014 and are incorporated herein by reference. A copy of the CD&R Shareholders’ Agreement was attached as Exhibit 10.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on October 30, 2014 and is also incorporated herein by reference.
