The Company further announces that, following a competitive audit tender process, the appointment is proposed of Deloitte LLP ("Deloitte") as statutory auditor, in place of Mazars LLP ("Mazars"). The change of auditor would take effect from the end of Mazars' term of office at the conclusion of this year's Annual General Meeting. The Board is grateful to Mazars for their service as auditor over the last five years and looks forward to working with Deloitte in the future.
The circular which contains the Notice of Annual General Meeting includes Mazars' statement that there are no circumstances which they consider need to be brought to the attention of the Company's shareholders or creditors in respect of their ceasing to hold office. Special notice of the resolution to appoint Deloitte in place of the retiring auditor, as required by Section 515 of the Companies Act 2006, has been duly received. The full terms of the resolution to be proposed to shareholders are contained within the Notice of Annual General Meeting.
The Annual General Meeting will be held on Friday 9 December 2011 at 9.30am at the Company's offices, 2 City Place, Beehive Ring Road, Gatwick, West Sussex RH6 0PA.
