NOT FOR RELEASE, DISTRIBUTION OR PUBLICATION, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, IN OR INTO THE UNITED STATES

******
13 May 2019

According to our early computations, the end of April Early NAV^* of Volta is at €8.02 per share. Volta's Early NAV^* performance is +1.9% for April 2019.

The Early NAV^* is published for information purposes only; the official NAV will be disclosed in the Monthly Report of Volta which will be published in the course of the month, on or around 17 May 2019.

^* Please note that this Early NAV has been computed on the basis of fair values for the portion of the portfolio for which end of months prices were available or were able to be collected as of 13 May 2019 and on the basis of estimated prices for the rest of the portfolio. Such estimated prices have been estimated based on market observations as of the end of April 2019. The Early NAV is therefore not an accurate or reliable reflection of the value of the assets of Volta as of the end of April 2019 and can significantly differ (upwards or downwards) from the published NAV that will be disclosed in the next Monthly Report of Volta and that will be subject to the limitations set forth therein.

This announcement contains information that is inside information for the purposes of the Market Abuse Regulation (EU) No. 596/2014. Upon the publication of this announcement via Regulatory Information Service this inside information is now considered to be in the public domain.
