INTRODUCTORY STATEMENT

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dated February 6, 2009, each $1,000 in principal amount at maturity of Notes that was validly tendered and not withdrawn was to have received in the exchange:

  • subject to the treatment of fractional shares as described in the Offer to Exchange, a number of shares of Common Stock equal to (i) $583.40 plus any accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes being tendered through February 10, 2009, divided by (ii) the average closing per share sale price of the Common Stock, as reported on the NASDAQ Global Select market, for the five consecutive trading days ending on February 5, 2009, subject to certain potential adjustments as specified in the Indenture; or
  • if the Company does not satisfy the conditions set forth in the Indenture that otherwise allow the Company to repurchase the Notes by issuing shares of Common Stock, $583.40 in cash plus accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes being tendered through February 9, 2009.

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.

The purpose of this Amendment No. 3 is to report the results of the Offer to Exchange and to include the Company's current reports on Form 8-K and related exhibits filed on February 9, 2009 and February 11, 2009. Such current reports are filed by, and incorporated by reference herein. The Company also issued a press release on February 11, 2009, announcing the completion and results of this issuer tender offer, which was filed as Exhibit 99.1 to the current report on Form 8-K filed on February 11, 2009, which is incorporated by reference herein.

Item 4. Terms of the Transaction.

Item 4 of Amendment No. 2, which incorporates by reference information contained in the Offer to Exchange, is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

The issuer tender offer expired at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on February 10, 2009. Pursuant to the Offer to Exchange, $13,224,000 in principal amount at maturity of Notes, or approximately 11% of the Notes, were validly tendered and not withdrawn. The Company accepted all of the tendered Notes, and in exchange therefor, issued 64,665,360 shares of Common Stock and paid a nominal amount of cash in lieu of fractional shares of Common Stock. The press release issued by the Company on February 11, 2009, announcing the completion and results of the issuer tender offer, is incorporated herein by reference to Exhibit 99.1 to the current report on Form 8-K filed on February 11, 2009.
