This Amendment No. 3 ("Amendment No. 3") amends and supplements Amendment No. 2 to the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO-I ("Amendment No. 2") filed by Mesa Air Group, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the "Company") with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on February 6, 2009, which amended and replaced Amendment No. 1 to the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO-I filed by the Company with the SEC on January 13, 2009, which in turn amended and replaced the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO-I filed by the Company with the SEC on January 16, 2009 ("Schedule TO," and as amended by Amendment No. 1, Amendment No. 2 and Amendment No. 3, the "Amended Schedule TO"), relating to an issuer tender offer made by the Company for its senior convertible notes due 2024 (the "Notes"). Pursuant to the terms of the indenture, dated February 10, 2004 (the "Indenture"), among the Company, certain subsidiaries of the Company as guarantors, and U.S. Bank, N.A., as trustee (the "Trustee"), the Company offered to repurchase all $120.3 million in principal amount of Notes at maturity in exchange for the Company's common stock (the "Common Stock"). Under the terms of the second amended and restated offer to exchange (the "Offer to Exchange") dated February 6, 2009, each $1,000 in principal amount at maturity of Notes that was validly tendered and not withdrawn was to have received in the exchange:
The complete terms and conditions of the offer are set forth in the Offer to Exchange and in the accompanying Notice of Election (including the Purchase Notice attached thereto as Annex A), which are all included in Exhibit (a)(1) hereto.
