ABOUT VOLTA FINANCE LIMITED
Volta Finance Limited is incorporated in Guernsey under the Companies
(Guernsey) Law, 2008 (as amended) and listed on Euronext Amsterdam and the
London Stock Exchange's Main Market for listed securities. Volta’s home
member state for the purposes of the EU Transparency Directive is the
Netherlands. As such, Volta is subject to regulation and supervision by the
AFM, being the regulator for financial markets in the Netherlands.
Volta’s Investment objectives are to preserve its capital across the credit
cycle and to provide a stable stream of income to its Shareholders through
dividends that it expects to distribute on a quarterly basis. The Company
currently seeks to achieve its investment objectives by pursuing exposure
predominantly to CLO’s and similar asset classes. A more diversified
investment strategy across structured finance assets may be pursued
opportunistically. The Company has appointed AXA Investment Managers Paris an
investment management company with a division specialised in structured
credit, for the investment management of all its assets.

Any target information is based on certain assumptions as to future events
which may not prove to be realised. Due to the uncertainty surrounding these

assurance that any of these targets will be achieved. In addition, no
assurance can be given that the investment objective will be achieved.

cannot be relied on as a guide to future performance or construed as a
reliable indicator as to future performance. Throughout this review, the
citation of specific trades or strategies is intended to illustrate some of
the investment methodologies and philosophies of Volta Finance, as implemented
by AXA IM. The historical success or AXA IM’s belief in the future success,
of any of these trades or strategies is not indicative of, and has no bearing
on, future results.
The valuation of financial assets can vary significantly from the prices that
the AXA IM could obtain if it sought to liquidate the positions on behalf of
the Volta Finance due to market conditions and general economic environment.
Such valuations do not constitute a fairness or similar opinion and should not
be regarded as such.
