Item 1. Changes in Control of Registrant
On September 5, 2001, Al A. Gonsoulin purchased in a privately
negotiated transaction 1,423,780 shares of voting common stock of Petroleum
Helicopters, Inc. ("PHI") from the Suggs Family Fund, LLC and on September 11,
2001, Mr. Gonsoulin purchased an additional 58,480 shares of PHI voting common
stock from Carroll W. Suggs. The stock acquired in these two transactions
represents 28% of the total equity outstanding and approximately 52% of the
total voting securities of PHI. The transactions did not involve PHI or any of
its officers and directors other than Carroll W. Suggs, Chairman of PHI and
managing member of the Suggs Family Fund, LLC.
According to a Schedule 13D filed by Mr. Gonsoulin with the Securities
and Exchange Commission on September 19, 2001, the source of the funds used in
making the purchases was obtained by Mr. Gonsoulin using an unsecured personal
line of credit. Mr. Gonsoulin did not provide PHI with the terms of the line of
credit or the name of the lender, and PHI has no independent knowledge of the
source or terms of the financing arranged by Mr. Gonsoulin.
Also, the Schedule 13D did not indicate that Mr. Gonsoulin has any
plans or proposals that relate to or would result in the acquisition of
additional PHI securities, a business combination, any changes to PHI's Board of
Directors, management, business corporate structure or governance documents. PHI
is not aware of any arrangements among the prior and current control persons
with respect to election of directors or other matters, or any arrangements that
may result in a future change of control.
