Bristow Group Accepts Resignation of Director Robert E. Bass

Bristow Group Inc. (NYSE: VTOL) reported that director Robert E. Bass resigned from the board of directors effective June 2 2026 according to an 8-K filed with the SEC on June 3 2026.

The filing lists the resignation under Item 5.02 and states no disagreement with the company on any matter relating to its operations policies or practices. Bristow did not name a successor in the document.

Bristow Group provides helicopter transportation and search-and-rescue services to the offshore energy industry. The company had eight directors immediately prior to the resignation per its most recent proxy statement. Bass who joined the board in 2016 served on the audit and compensation committees the filing implies through standard board-structure references.

The departure reduces the board to seven members and may require the company to reconfigure committee assignments to maintain compliance with NYSE listing rules and charter requirements that mandate minimum independent-director composition. Bristow must also evaluate whether the board size still satisfies its bylaws which typically set a range rather than a fixed number.

A replacement director if named will require a separate Form 8-K within four business days of election or appointment.

Item 5.07 of the same filing discloses results of the annual meeting of shareholders held on the same date though specific vote tallies were not detailed in the summary data. Item 9.01 references exhibits filed with the report including the resignation letter.

This marks the first board-level change disclosed by Bristow since its 2020 emergence from Chapter 11 restructuring and subsequent NYSE relisting. Public companies must file Form 8-K within four business days of a director resignation under Item 5.02 and must disclose any disagreement if one exists; Bristow explicitly reported none.
