On July 15, 2013, Era Group Inc. (the “Company”) fixed September 12, 2013 as the date for the 2013 annual meeting of stockholders of the Company (the “2013 Annual Meeting”) and August 5, 2013 as the record date for the 2013 Annual Meeting. Pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, stockholders may present proposals for inclusion in the Company’s proxy statement for the 2013 Annual Meeting by submitting their proposals to the Company a reasonable time before the Company begins to print and send its proxy materials. The Company has set August 5, 2013 as the deadline for receipt of stockholder proposals pursuant to Rule 14a-8. In order for a proposal under Rule 14a-8 to be considered timely, it must have been received by the Company on or prior to August 5, 2013, at the Company’s principal executive offices at 818 Town & Country Blvd., Suite 200, Houston, Texas 77024 and be directed to the attention of the Corporate Secretary. All stockholder proposals must be in compliance with applicable laws and regulations in order to be considered for inclusion in the proxy statement for the 2013 Annual Meeting.
Under the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws (the “Bylaws”), stockholders may also present a proposal or director nomination at the 2013 Annual Meeting if advance written notice is timely given to the Secretary of the Company, at the Company’s principal executive offices, in accordance with the Company’s Bylaws. To be timely, notice by a stockholder of any proposal or nomination must have been provided not later than the close of business on July 25, 2013. The Company’s Bylaws specify requirements relating to the content of the notice that stockholders must provide. A copy of the Company’s Bylaws was filed as Exhibit 3.2 of the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 1, 2013.
On July 15, 2013, the Company issued a press release, a copy of which is hereby incorporated by reference and attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
