Explanation of Responses:

( 1 )On January 31, 2012, SEACOR Holdings Inc. ("SEACOR") effected the distribution of 100% of the outstanding shares of common stock of Era Group Inc. ("Era Group") held by SEACOR (the "Distribution"). Immediately prior to the Distribution, Era Group effected a recapitalization pursuant to which all of the outstanding shares of Era Group's Class B common stock and 6% Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A (all of which was held by SEACOR) was exchanged for 20,239,698 shares of newly-issued Era Group common stock. Following the Distribution, SEACOR is no longer a holder of equity securities of Era Group for purposes of Section 16. ( 2 )Holders of Class B common stock may convert their Class B common stock, at their option, into Class A common stock at a conversion rate of one share of Class A common stock for each share of Class B common stock. Subject to limited exceptions, each share of Class B common stock transferred to a person other than SEACOR will automatically be converted into one share of Class A common stock. ( 3 )Holders of the 6% Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A (the "Series A Preferred Stock") may convert the Series A Preferred Stock, at their option, at any time prior to an IPO of Era Group at the conversion rate of 4.375 shares of Class B common stock for each share of Series A Preferred Stock. For a period of 45 days following a qualified public offering of Era Group, holders of Series A Preferred Stock may convert the Series A Preferred Stock, at their option, into the number of shares of Class B common stock equal to the aggregate stated value of the shares to be converted divided by the public offering price of the registrant's Class A common stock. Following this period, holders of Series A Preferred Stock may convert the Series A Preferred Stock, at their option, into the number of shares of Class B common stock equal to the aggregate stated value of the shares being converted divided by the trading value of the Class A common stock.
