"EXPLANATORY NOTES TO THE NOTICE OF GENERAL MEETING
At the General Meeting there are two ordinary resolutions which shareholders will be asked to consider and, if thought fit, approve. An explanation of each of these Resolutions is given below. All resolutions are proposed as ordinary resolutions. An ordinary resolution requires more than 50 per cent. of votes cast at the General Meeting relating to that resolution to be cast in favour of it for the resolution to be passed.
ORDINARY RESOLUTIONS
Resolution 1: Annual Financial Report
For each financial year the directors are required to present the directors' report, the audited accounts and the auditor's report to shareholders at a General Meeting. Shareholders are asked to receive the annual report and accounts of the Company for the financial year ended 31 March 2012. The Law requires that the accounts and reports are laid before the General Meeting.
Resolution 2: Appointment of Auditor
Following the conclusion of the Audit of the annual report and accounts of the Company for the financial year ended 31 March 2012 the Company was notified that Ernst and Young LLP would retire from their position of Auditor with effect from the next scheduled General Meeting.
The directors advise they have been extremely satisfied by the work undertaken by Ernst and Young LLP to date in auditing the Company's Annual Financial Report. Ernst and Young LLP have confirmed that they consider that there are no circumstances in connection with their ceasing to hold office that need to be brought to the attention of members or creditors of the Company.
Following the retirement of Ernst and Young LLP the directors would accordingly recommend the appointment of Deloitte LLP as Auditor, such appointment to continue until the conclusion of the next General Meeting to be held in 2013, under section 199 of the Law. Deloitte LLP have indicated that they are willing to be appointed as the Company's Auditor for the next year.
Deloitte LLP are the existing auditor to Doric Nimrod Air Two Limited, a company substantially similar in structure and investment objectives to the Company and therefore the Board proposes they be appointed as Auditor for the Company. You are asked to approve their appointment and to authorise the directors of the Company to determine their remuneration."
