See “Voting Instructions”. A vote by proxy will be counted if it is completed properly and received by CHC’s transfer agent not later than 10:00 a.m. (Toronto time) on March 23, 2005, or, if the Meeting is adjourned, not later than 48 hours (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and statutory holidays) preceding the time of such adjourned Meeting.

The transfer agent’s mailing address is: Proxy Department, CIBC Mellon Trust Company, P.O. Box 12005, STN BRM B, Toronto, Ontario, M7Y 2K5.

Enclosed are the form of proxy and a certification with respect to ownership. Please complete the form of proxy and the attached certification.

In the event of a disruption in postal service, proxies may be sent by fax to CIBC Mellon Trust Company (fax: 416-368-2502; telephone: 800-387-0825).

MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR

This management information circular (the “Circular”) is furnished in connection with the solicitation by management of CHC Helicopter Corporation (the “Corporation” or “CHC”) of proxies to be used at a special meeting of shareholders of the Corporation (the “Meeting”) to be held at the time and place and for the purposes set out in the notice of special meeting of shareholders accompanying this Circular (the “Notice of Meeting”). Unless otherwise stated, all information contained in this Circular is presented as at February 15, 2005. It is expected that the solicitation will be primarily by mail, but proxies may be solicited by telephone, email, facsimile or


2


 


in person by officers and employees of the Corporation. Officers and employees will not receive any additional compensation for such activity. The Corporation may also retain, and pay a fee to, one or more professional proxy solicitation firms to solicit proxies from shareholders of the Corporation. The cost of the solicitation will be borne by the Corporation.

APPOINTMENT AND SOLICITATION OF PROXIES

The forms of proxy accompanying this Circular are solicited on behalf of the management of the Corporation. Any shareholder has the right to appoint a person (who need not be a shareholder) other than the persons designated in the enclosed form of proxy to attend and to vote and act for and on behalf of such shareholder at the Meeting and in order to do so the shareholder may insert the name of such person in the blank space provided in the proxy, or may use another appropriate form of proxy.

REVOCATION OF PROXIES

A shareholder executing a proxy has the power to revoke it:

(a)   by depositing an instrument in writing executed by such shareholder or such shareholder’s attorney authorized in writing:

  (i)   at the executive office of the Corporation, CHC Helicopter Corporation, 4740 Agar Drive, Richmond, British Columbia, Canada, Attention: The Corporate Secretary, at any time up to and including the last business day preceding the day of the Meeting or any adjournments thereof, or

  (ii)   with the Chairman of the Meeting on the day of the Meeting or any adjournments thereof, or

(b)   in any other manner permitted by law.

VOTING INSTRUCTIONS

Registered Shareholders

If you are a registered shareholder, there are two methods by which you can vote your shares at the Meeting: in person at the Meeting, or by proxy. If you wish to vote in person at the Meeting, do not complete or return the form of proxy included with the Circular; instead, attend the Meeting where your vote will be taken and counted. If you do not wish to attend the Meeting or do not wish to vote in person, you may vote by proxy through one of the methods described below and the shares represented by the proxy will be voted or withheld from voting, in accordance with your instructions as indicated in the form of proxy, on any ballot that may be called for, and if you specify a choice with respect to any matter to be acted upon, the shares will be voted accordingly.

As a registered shareholder, you may vote by proxy by one of the following three methods: (i) use of paper form of proxy to be returned by mail or delivery; (ii) use of the internet voting procedure; or (iii) facsimile (in the event of a postal disruption). The methods for using each of these procedures are described below:

The paper form of proxy is the only voting option by which a shareholder may appoint a person as proxy other than the management nominees named on the form of proxy.


3


 


Voting by Mail. You may vote by mail or delivery by completing, dating and signing the enclosed form of proxy and returning it using the envelope provided. The form of proxy must be received by CIBC Mellon Trust Company, the Corporation’s transfer agent, no later than 10:00 a.m. (Toronto time) on March 23, 2005, or, if the Meeting is adjourned, not later than 48 hours (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and statutory holidays) preceding the time of such adjourned Meeting. The transfer agent’s address is: CIBC Mellon Trust Company, P.O. Box 7010, Adelaide Street Postal Station, Toronto, Ontario, M5C 2W9.

Internet Voting. You may vote over the internet by accessing the following websites:

     Class A Subordinate Voting Shares – www.eproxyvoting.com/chcclassa

     Class B Multiple Voting Shares – www.eproxyvoting.com/chcclassb

In order to submit a proxy via the internet, you will be asked to enter the 13 digit control number which is provided on the enclosed form of proxy. Please see your form of proxy for additional information on internet voting. Your voting instructions will then be conveyed electronically over the internet. Registered shareholders may vote (and revoke a previous vote) over the internet at any time before 10:00a.m. (Toronto time) on March 23, 2005, or, if the Meeting is adjourned, not later than 48 hours (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and statutory holidays) preceding the time of such adjourned Meeting.

Voting by Facsimile. In case of postal disruption, you may vote by facsimile by completing, dating and signing the enclosed form of proxy and faxing it to CIBC Mellon Trust Company at 416-368-2502. The form of proxy must be received no later than 10:00 a.m. (Toronto time) on March 23, 2005, or, if the Meeting is adjourned, not later than 48 hours (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and statutory holidays) preceding the time of such adjourned Meeting.

A proxy must be in writing and must be executed by you as registered shareholder or by your attorney authorized in writing or, if the registered shareholder is a corporation or other legal entity, by an authorized officer or attorney.

Where a shareholder fails to specify a choice with respect to a matter referred to in the Notice of Meeting in a proxy appointing a management nominee (being the nominees specified in the proxies enclosed with the Circular) as proxyholder, the shares represented by such proxy will be voted for or in favour of such matter.

The enclosed proxy confers discretionary authority with respect to any amendments or variations to matters referred to in the Notice of Meeting and any other matters which may properly come before the Meeting or any adjournments thereof. As of the date of the Circular, management is not aware of any amendments or variations to any matters referred to in the Notice of Meeting or any other matters which may properly come before the Meeting or any adjournment thereof.

Non-registered Shareholders

Your shares may not be registered in your name but in the name of an intermediary (which is usually a bank, trust company, securities dealer or broker, or a clearing agency in which an intermediary participates). If your shares are registered in the name of an intermediary, you are a non-registered shareholder.

The Corporation has distributed copies of the Circular to intermediaries for distribution to non-registered shareholders. Unless you have waived your right to receive these materials, intermediaries are required to deliver them to you as a non-registered shareholder of the


4


 


Corporation and to seek your instructions as to how to vote your shares. Often, intermediaries will use a service company (such as ADP Investor Communications) to forward these meeting materials to non-registered shareholders.

Non-registered shareholders who receive meeting materials will typically be given the ability to provide voting instructions in one of two ways.

Usually a non-registered shareholder will be given a voting instruction form which must be completed and signed by the non-registered shareholder in accordance with the instructions provided by the intermediary. If you have received such a form, you cannot use the mechanisms described above for registered shareholders and must instead follow the instructions provided by the intermediary (which in some cases may allow the completion of the voting instruction form through the internet). Occasionally, however, a non-registered shareholder may be given a proxy that has already been signed by the intermediary. This form of proxy is restricted to the number of shares owned by the non-registered shareholder, but is otherwise not completed. This form of proxy does not need to be signed by you as the non-registered shareholder. If you have received such a proxy, you can complete the proxy and vote by mail, delivery or facsimile in accordance with the proxy voting instructions described above.

The purpose of these procedures is to allow non-registered shareholders to direct the voting of the shares that they own, but that are not registered in their names. Should a non-registered shareholder who receives a form of proxy or a voting instruction form wish to attend and vote at the Meeting in person (or have another person attend and vote on their behalf), the non-registered shareholder, in the case of a form of proxy, should insert the non-registered shareholder’s (or such other person’s) name in the blank space provided or, in the case of a voting instruction form, follow the instructions provided by the intermediary. In either case, non-registered shareholders should carefully follow the instructions provided by the intermediary.

ELECTRONIC ACCESS TO PROXY-RELATED MATERIALS AND ANNUAL AND QUARTERLY REPORTS

We offer our shareholders the opportunity to receive future proxy circulars, annual reports and quarterly reports electronically through the internet rather than receiving paper copies in the mail. If you are a registered shareholder you can choose this option by following the instructions in your form of proxy. Please see your form of proxy for more information on electronic access to these materials. If you hold your shares through an intermediary, please refer to the information provided by the intermediary (such as a bank, trust company or broker) on how to receive these documents electronically.

MATTERS TO BE ACTED UPON BY THE SHAREHOLDERS AT THE MEETING
(AS ITEMIZED IN THE NOTICE OF MEETING)

ITEM 1:

Stock Split

Subject to the approval of shareholders, the directors have resolved that the articles of incorporation of the Corporation (the “Articles”) be amended to subdivide:

  (i)   each of the issued and unissued Class A Subordinate Voting Shares of the Corporation into two Class A Subordinate Voting Shares;
 
  (ii)   each of the issued and unissued Class B Multiple Voting Shares into two Class B Multiple Voting Shares; and
 
  (iii)   each of the issued and unissued Ordinary Shares into two Ordinary Shares.

The stock split will result in double the number of Class A Subordinate Voting Shares, Class B Multiple Voting Shares and Ordinary Shares being outstanding and will reduce the price per share at which such shares may be acquired. As a result, the stock split is expected to make CHC’s shares more affordable and potentially more attractive to new investors, and will increase liquidity in trading in CHC’s shares listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange and the New York Stock Exchange. Although the Ordinary Shares do not trade on any stock exchanges, if the Class A Subordinate Voting Shares or the Class B Multiple Voting are subdivided, the Ordinary Shares must also be subdivided on the same basis in order to ensure that the Corporation continues to meet certain European licensing requirements.

Income Tax Considerations

The following discussion should not be considered to be legal or tax advice to any particular share holder of the Corporation. Shareholders are advised to consult with their own tax advisers.

Neither the proposed subdivision of the voting shares of the Corporation nor the amendment to the Articles of the Corporation to effect the subdivision will result in a disposition or acquisition of shares of the Corporation. Therefore, shareholders will not realize a gain or loss as a result of the subdivision of the Corporation’s voting shares. The cost of the total shareholdings of Class A Subordinate Voting Shares, Class B Multiple Voting Shares and Ordinary Shares to each holder will remain unchanged.


7


 


Votes Required to Pass the Special Resolution

To be passed, the special resolution to approve the amendment of the Articles to effect the proposed subdivision of the voting shares of the Corporation must be approved by a majority of at least 66 2/3% of the votes cast by those shareholders present in person or represented by proxy at the Meeting. The text of the proposed special resolution is attached as Schedule A (the “Special Resolution”) and forms part of this Circular.

The Special Resolution provides that the directors of the Corporation may revoke the Special Resolution before the issuance of a certificate of amendment to the Articles by the Director under the Canada Business Corporations Act (“CBCA”) without the approval of shareholders.

The persons named in the enclosed form of proxy intend to vote FOR the Special Resolution. If you complete and return the attached form of proxy, your representatives at the Meeting will vote your shares FOR or IN FAVOUR OF the Special Resolution unless you specifically direct that your shares be voted against the Special Resolution or withheld from voting.

Effective Date

If the Special Resolution is passed by the requisite majority of shareholders, the Corporation intends to file articles of amendment with the Director under the CBCA as soon as possible following the Meeting. The subdivision of the voting shares of the Corporation will become effective on a date (the “Effective Date”) determined by the Corporation and specified in the amendment to the Articles. Pursuant to the rules of the Toronto Stock Exchange (the “TSX”) the Effective Date may not be less than seven trading days after the date the amendment to the Articles is filed by the Corporation. Holders of record at the close of business on the Effective Date will be entitled to receive share certificates for additional Class A Subordinate Voting Shares, Class B Multiple Voting Shares and Ordinary Shares, respectively, resulting from the subdivisions. Pursuant to the rules of the TSX and the New York Stock Exchange, the shares will commence trading on a subdivided basis at the opening of business on the second trading day preceding the Effective Date.

Delivery of Share Certificates

Share certificates for the additional shares resulting from the subdivision will be forwarded by prepaid mail to each shareholder of the Corporation entitled to receive such share certificates within five business days of the Effective Date at the address of such shareholder as it appears on the register of shareholders on that date. Shareholders who hold their shares through intermediaries should ensure that they are registered as shareholders prior to that date if they wish to receive their new share certificates directly.

ITEM 2:

Election of Additional Director

The Articles provide that the Board of Directors consists of a minimum of one member and a maximum of 12 members. The number of directors within such range is determined by the Board of Directors from time to time and is currently fixed at nine. The size of the Board will be fixed at ten effective immediately prior to the Meeting.

Seven directors were elected at the Corporation’s Annual General Meeting held on October 5, 2004. Mr. Sylvain Allard and Mr. Donald Carty were appointed as directors of the Corporation by the Board of Directors on November 9, 2004 in accordance with the Articles of the Corporation and the CBCA. Both Mr. Allard and Mr. Carty bring considerable experience in senior


8


 


management in the aviation industry to the Board of Directors. Mr. Allard and Mr. Carty, together with each of the seven directors previously elected, will hold office until the next annual meeting of shareholders or until his successor is duly elected or appointed.

Guylaine Saucier, a nominee to the Board of Directors of the Corporation, will bring considerable financial expertise to the Board of Directors. If Ms. Saucier is elected, it is expected that she will become a member of the Audit Committee and the Pension Committee. If elected, Ms. Saucier will hold office until the next annual meeting of shareholders or until her successor is duly elected or appointed.

The persons named in the enclosed form of proxy intend to vote FOR the election of Ms. Saucier. If you complete and return the attached form of proxy, your representatives at the Meeting will vote your shares FOR or IN FAVOUR OF the election of Ms. Saucier to the Board unless you specifically direct that your vote be withheld.

INDEBTEDNESS OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

Effective July 30, 2002, in connection with section 402 of the United States Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (“SOX”), the Corporation introduced a new policy with regard to loans to directors and officers. The policy prohibits the Corporation from, directly or indirectly, extending or maintaining credit, arranging for the extension of credit, or renewing an extension of credit, in the form of a personal loan to or for any director or officer. Irrevocable extensions of credit made to directors and officers outstanding as of July 30, 2002 are exempted under the policy, but the terms of this credit cannot be materially modified and credit cannot be renewed after such date. In conjunction with this policy, the Corporation’s Board on March 2, 2003 approved a revision to the Employee Stock Option Plan, to eliminate the granting of loans to facilitate the exercising of options. The


12


 


Corporation’s Executive Share Purchase and Ordinary Share Loans existed at July 30, 2002 and are exempt under the policy. No new credit or any modification of the terms of the credit granted at July 30, 2002 has been made.

The following table provides the aggregate indebtedness outstanding at February 15, 2005 to CHC of the current and former directors, officers and employees of the Corporation and its subsidiaries:

Executive Share Purchase Loan Program

On July 21, 2000, the Board, on the recommendation of the Compensation Committee and advice from independent compensation consultants, approved a long term incentive program (the “A loan program”) for certain members of senior management to permit them to participate in future appreciation of the shares of the Corporation and to bear the same risks as other shareholders. The A loan program enabled eligible senior management to receive interest free loans to finance purchases of Class A Subordinate Voting Shares. The maximum amount of the loan available was based on a multiple of the employee’s base salary and ranged from 0.5 times base salary to a maximum of 2.0 times base salary, depending on position. The Chief Executive Officer was eligible for the maximum multiple of 2.0 times base salary. Although indebtedness is remaining outstanding under this program, no further loans are being made under it. The outstanding loans are secured by the financed shares (except in the case of certain executives of the Corporation where the Board, in April 2002, approved the assignment of the shares or proceeds arising from certain vested options to constitute security in the place of shares as security for outstanding A loans, as detailed above), require minimum annual loan repayments of 5% of the loan principal amount and are fully payable on termination of employment or sale of the financed shares or the exercise of share options taken as security and sale of shares arising therefrom, as the case may be.

The Ordinary Share Loan

On December 9, 1997, the Corporation issued 11,000,000 Ordinary Shares to O.S. Holdings Inc. for an aggregate consideration of $33,000,000 (the “Ordinary Share Loan”). O.S. Holdings Inc. is a corporation wholly owned by 10644 Newfoundland Inc. (“Holdco”), which is a corporation wholly owned by Craig L. Dobbin, the Executive Chairman. On December 9, 1997, the Corporation made a loan to O.S. Holdings Inc. of $33,000,000 to enable it to purchase these Ordinary Shares. The loan is repayable upon demand and does not bear interest unless the principal amount thereof (or the lesser portion demanded) has not been repaid within two business days


14


 


following demand therefore, after which time the principal amount thereof (or the portion demanded) would bear interest at a rate equal to the Canadian “prime rate” plus 5%. These Ordinary Shares were issued to give effect to an undertaking provided by the Corporation to U.K. regulatory authorities in connection with the foreign ownership requirements of European legislation applicable to the Corporation’s then U.K. operating subsidiary, Brintel Helicopters Limited (“Brintel”). The issuance of Ordinary Shares to O.S. Holdings Inc. was intended to increase the amount of equity share capital of the Corporation held by European nationals (Mr. Dobbin, the sole shareholder of Holdco, is a citizen of both Canada and the Republic of Ireland) and to establish that Brintel was entitled to maintain its operating license. The transaction involving the issuance of the Ordinary Shares (including the making of the loan) was approved by shareholders of the Corporation at a meeting held on December 9, 1997.

The loan is secured by a lien in the Corporation’s favour over the Ordinary Shares. Further, Holdco has guaranteed the obligations of O.S. Holdings Inc. to the Corporation and has pledged the shares of O.S. Holdings Inc. owned by it in favour of the Corporation as security for such guarantee. Craig L. Dobbin has guaranteed the obligations of each of O.S. Holdings Inc. and Holdco to the Corporation and has pledged the shares of Holdco owned by him in favour of the Corporation as security for such guarantee. The Corporation’s recourse against Mr. Dobbin in connection with the repayment of the loan and such guarantee is limited to the realization of the shares of Holdco held by him.

Indebtedness of Directors, Executive Officers and Senior Officers other than under Securities Purchase Programs

There was no indebtedness other than under securities purchase programs to the Corporation by any current and former officers, directors and employees of the Corporation (and their respective associates) as at February 15, 2005.

DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS INSURANCE

The Corporation has purchased and maintains insurance for the benefit of directors and officers as permitted by the CBCA and the Corporation’s by-laws. The insurance covers directors and officers, in their capacities as directors and officers of the Corporation, or in their capacities as directors and officers of other corporations where they have acted in that capacity at the request of the Corporation, against certain liabilities incurred by them, except where the liability relates to the failure by the director or officer to act honestly, in good faith and with a view to the best interests of the Corporation or the other corporation, as the case may be.

The insurance obtained provided for U.S. $45 million of coverage for directors and officers of the Corporation on an aggregate basis. Such policy is subject to a deductible of U.S. $100,000 per incident. The cost of coverage for 2004 on an aggregate basis was US$421,790.

INTEREST OF MANAGEMENT AND OTHERS IN MATERIAL TRANSACTIONS

In the normal course of business, the Corporation enters into transactions with related parties.

During fiscal 2000, in connection with securing tender credit facilities, the Corporation received an unsecured, subordinated, convertible 12% loan from an affiliate of Mr. Craig L. Dobbin, the controlling shareholder in the amount of $5.0 million. This loan is subordinated to the Corporation’s senior credit facilities and its senior subordinated notes. The loan is convertible into Class A Subordinate Voting Shares at $7.25 per share. Interest paid on the loan during the nine month period ended January 31, 2005 was $452,000.


15


 


The Company uses properties owned by companies affiliated with the Executive Chairman for customer events, meetings, conferences and social functions. Rent and usage fees of $195,541 were incurred with these companies during the nine month period ended January 31, 2005.

During the nine month period ended January 31, 2004, $522,078 was paid to Canadian Helicopters Limited, in which the Corporation has a 42.75% equity investment. This amount related to the provision of helicopter flying services to the Corporation.

During fiscal 2004, construction began on a new hangar and office building in Vancouver, Canada. The construction project is being managed by a subsidiary of a company owned by a relative of the Executive Chairman. Such subsidiary will receive a fee of 7% including costs for managing the construction of the building. As at January 31, 2005, $6,604,497 has been paid for construction costs.
