Completion of the arrangement is subject to a number of conditions, some of which are beyond CHC's and the purchaser's control; accordingly, the exact timing of implementation of the arrangement is not currently known. CHC and the purchaser currently expect the closing to occur in June 2008.

One of the conditions to completion of the arrangement is shareholder approval. As previously announced, a special meeting of shareholders of CHC will be held on April 29, 2008 in Richmond (Vancouver), British Columbia to consider the special resolution to approve the arrangement. The management information circular mailed to shareholders last week contains a unanimous recommendation from CHC's Board of Directors to vote for the special resolution.
