This Amendment No. 2 amends the Schedule 13D originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 28, 2002, as amended by Amendment No. 1, dated March 14, 2006, with respect to beneficial ownership of securities of CHC Helicopter Corporation (the “Issuer”) by Discovery Helicopters Inc. and Craig L. Dobbin (together, the “Reporting Persons”).
ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.
Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
The Reporting Persons are continuously evaluating the business and prospects of the Issuer, and their present and future interests in, and intentions with respect to, the Issuer.
The preliminary discussions regarding a potential transaction as set forth in Amendment No. 1 to the Schedule 13D between Mr. Craig L. Dobbin and two unaffiliated private equity entities have been terminated. The private equity entities have released Mr. Dobbin from the remaining obligations described in Amendment No. 1 to the Schedule 13D.
Although the Reporting Persons do not have any specific plan or proposal to acquire or dispose of any securities of the Issuer, the Reporting Persons may from time to time formulate other plans or proposals that relate to, might result in, or have the purpose or effect of changing or influencing control of the Issuer, or that relate to or would result in any of the events enumerated in Item 4 of Form Schedule 13D. Such plans or proposals will depend upon the Reporting Persons ongoing evaluation of their investment in the Issuer, prevailing market conditions, developments affecting the Issuer, other opportunities, liquidity requirements of the Reporting Persons, tax considerations and/or other considerations. Also, the Reporting Persons may engage in communications with one or more directors, officers, representatives or shareholders of the Issuer and/or third party advisors or financing sources regarding the Issuer, including but not limited to, the Issuer’s operations, plans or prospects. The Reporting Persons may discuss ideas that, if effected may result in any of the events enumerated in Item 4 of Form Schedule 13D, including a going private transaction, the acquisition or disposition of shares by the Reporting Persons, the acquisition by other persons of shares of the Issuer, an extraordinary corporate transaction involving the Issuer, and/or changes in the board of directors or management of the Issuer. Except to the extent the foregoing may be deemed a plan or proposal, the Reporting Persons do not have any plans or proposals which relate to, or could result in, any of the matters enumerated in Item 4 of Form Schedule 13D.
ITEM 7. MATERIAL TO BE FILED AS EXHIBITS.
An Agreement for Joint Filing pursuant to Rule 13d-1(k)(1) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, is filed as Exhibit A hereto.
