DEREGISTRATION OF UNSOLD SECURITIES

Erickson Incorporated (the “Company”) is filing this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement on Form S-8 (File No. 333-180778) (the “Registration Statement”), filed on April 17, 2012, registering 417,649 shares of Common Stock (“Common Stock”), par value $0.0001 per share, issuable under the Company’s 2012 Long-Term Incentive Plan.

On November 8, 2016, the Company filed a voluntary petition for relief under the Bankruptcy Code (the “Chapter 11 Petition”) with the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Texas, Dallas Division (the “Bankruptcy Court”). The Company continues to operate its business as a “debtor in possession” under the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court and in accordance with applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and orders of the Bankruptcy Court. As contemplated by the Company’s Plan of Reorganization (originally filed with the Bankruptcy Court on December 23, 2016 and as amended, modified, supplemented or reformed from time to time (the “Plan of Reorganization”)), any equity security of the Company outstanding on the effective date of the Plan of Reorganization, including shares of Common Stock, preferred stock and other direct or indirect ownership interests in the Company, and all options, warrants and other rights to acquire, sell or exchange any such securities or interests, will be cancelled, and the holders of such equity interests shall not have any rights arising from or relating to such equity interests, except the rights provided for pursuant to the Plan of Reorganization.

As a result of the Chapter 11 Petition and the contemplated Plan of Reorganization, the Company has terminated any and all offerings of its securities pursuant to the Registration Statement. In accordance with an undertaking made by the Company in Part II of the Registration Statement to remove from registration, by means of a post-effective amendment, any securities that remain unsold at the termination of the offering, the Company hereby removes from registration any and all securities of the Company registered but unsold under the Registration Statement.
