   Volta Finance Limited (VTA) - December 2017 Early Estimated NAV 
 
   NOT FOR RELEASE, DISTRIBUTION OR PUBLICATION, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, IN OR 
INTO THE UNITED STATES 
 
   ****** 
 
   9 January 2018 
 
   According to our early computations, the end of December Early Estimated 
NAV(*) of Volta is at EUR8.32 per share. Volta's Early Estimated NAV(*) 
performance is +0.6% for December 2017, taking into account the EUR0.16 
per share dividend payment that occurred in December. 
 
   The Early Estimated NAV(*) is published for information purposes only; 
the official Estimated NAV will be disclosed in the Monthly Report of 
Volta which will be published in the course of the month, on or around 
18 January 2018. 
 
   (*) Please note that this Early Estimated 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 8 
January 2018 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 December 2017. The Early Estimated NAV is 
therefore not an accurate or reliable reflection of the value of the 
assets of Volta as of the end of December 2017 and can significantly 
differ (upwards or downwards) from the published Estimated NAV that will 
be disclosed in the next Monthly Report of Volta and that will be 
subject to the limitations set forth therein.
