_____________ 
(1) 
On July 25, 2019, we entered into an amendment to our agreement for the purchase of four AW189 U.K. SAR configuration helicopters. Pursuant to the amendment, the parties mutually agreed to postpone the delivery dates for three helicopters to the second half of fiscal year 2020 and the first quarter of fiscal year 2021. The postponement in deliveries resulted in deferral of approximately $14.4 million in capital expenditures scheduled for fiscal years 2020 into fiscal year 2021. The impact of this amendment is included in the table above. One of the four AW189s was purchased in August 2019.
(2) 
In October 2019, the Bankruptcy Court approved our agreement with Airbus Helicopters S.A.S. to reject our aircraft purchase contract for 22 large aircraft. This impact of this agreement is included in the table above.
(3) 
The three AW189 U.K. SAR configured aircraft on order were being leased as of March 31, 2019. One of the AW189s was purchased in October 2019.
