 vote will not be disclosed either within Ardmore or to third parties, except (1) as necessary to meet applicable legal requirements, (2) to allow for the tabulation of votes and certification of the vote and (3) to facilitate a successful proxy solicitation. Occasionally, shareholders provide written comments on their proxy card, which are then forwarded to our management. |

| Q: | How many shares must be present or represented to conduct business at the annual meeting? |

| A: | The general quorum requirement for holding the annual meeting and transacting business is that holders of at least one-third of the issued and outstanding shares of Ardmore common stock entitled to vote must be present in person or represented by proxy. Abstentions are counted for the purpose of determining the presence of a quorum, but broker non-votes (as explained below) will not be counted for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum. |

| Q: | How are votes counted? |

| A: | In the election of directors, you may vote “FOR” all of the nominees or your vote may be “WITHHELD” with respect to one or more of the nominees. For any other item of business, you may vote “FOR,” “AGAINST,” or “ABSTAIN.” If you “ABSTAIN” the abstention has the same effect as a vote “AGAINST.” |

If you provide specific instructions for a given item, your shares will be voted as you instruct on such item. If you sign your proxy card or voting instruction card without giving specific instructions, your shares will be voted in accordance with the recommendations of the Board ( i.e., “FOR” all of Ardmore’s nominees to the Board, and in the discretion of the proxyholders on any other matters that properly come before the meeting.) If you hold shares beneficially in street name and do not provide your broker with voting instructions, your shares may constitute “broker non-votes.” Generally, broker non-votes occur on a matter when a broker is not permitted to

vote on that matter without instructions from the beneficial owner and instructions are not given. In tabulating the voting result for any particular proposal, shares that constitute broker non-votes are not considered entitled to vote on that proposal. Thus, broker non-votes will not affect the outcome of any matter being voted on at the meeting, assuming that a quorum is obtained.

| Q: | What is the voting requirement to approve each of the proposals? |
