Subject: In re FastShip, Inc. (Case No. 12-10968 (BLS)), FastShip Atlantic, Inc. (Case
No. 12-10970 (BLS)) and Thornycroft, Giles & Co., Inc. (Case No. 12-10971
(BLS))
TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:
I am an officer of Aegis Property Group, Ltd., an unsecured creditor in the above
entitled bankruptcy case, with an address of 1600 Market Street, Suite 1701, Philadelphia,
PA 19103.
Aegis Property Group, Ltd.'s ballot is attached. The basis for our objection to the plan
is that it discriminates unfairly against certain unsecured creditors. In our case, our claim
which was acknowledged by Debtor in its initial filing as $205,834 for project management
services performed over an extended period of time, was reduced to $5,834. The rationale
for the reduction was since Aegis Property Group, Ltd. agreed to defer up to $200,000 until
a financial close, it shouldn't be counted as an obligation. Specifically, the Disclosure
Statement stated in Section IV, C, 3 on page 24 "Because the event of a financial close is an
impossibility, it is the Debtors' view that these obligations, being non-existing, are not
Claims".
In fact, the intent of the contract was to defer payment on the amount due to a point
in time when funds would be available. If there is a settlement or recovery under the lawsuit
with the US Government, and that settlement produces sufficient funds to pay off the
creditors with priority over our claim, we think it only fair and equitable that any excess be
next used to pay our prorata share of the full amount of the Claim prior to any payment to

shareholders. Effectively, a settlement or recovery under the current litigation should be
considered the equivalent of a financial close.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,

the materials accompanying this Ballot. Each capitalized term used but not otherwise defined

The Plan can be confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court and thereby made binding on you if the
Plan: (1) for a class of Claims- is accepted by the holders of at least two-thirds in amount and
more than one-half in number of the Claims in each Impaired Class of Claims who vote on the
Plan, (2) for a class of Equity Interests - is accepted by at least two-thirds of the amount of
Equity Interests in each Impaired Class of Equity Interests who vote on the Plans and (3)
otherwise satisfies the applicable requirements of section 1129(a) of the Bankruptcy Code. If the
requisite acceptances are not obtained, the Bankruptcy Court nonetheless may confinn the Plan if
it finds that the Plan (a) provides fair and equitable treatment to, and does not unfairly
discriminate against, the Class or Classes rejecting the Plan and (b) otherwise satisfies the
requirements of section 1129(b) ofthe Bankruptcy Code.
