Guernsey, 1 February 2016
Volta Finance Limited (the "Company" or "Volta") today announces in respect of the month ended 31 January 2016, the issue of 53,573 Ordinary Shares of no par value each, following the conversion of the same number of Class C Shares into Ordinary Shares by the Investment Manager (AXA IM Paris).

Such Ordinary Shares were admitted to trading on the Euronext Amsterdam stock exchange and were also admitted to the Official List of the UK Listing Authority and to trading on the London Stock Exchange's main market for listed securities under Volta's block listing facility. Following these issues, Volta has the ability to admit a further 330,660 Ordinary Shares under its block listing facility.

Following the conversion of 53,573 Class C Shares into Ordinary Shares, 330,660 Class C Shares remain in issue. The Class C Shares are held by AXA IM Paris and are non-voting shares but in all other respects have the same rights and entitlements as the Ordinary Shares. If sold to a party unaffiliated with AXA IM Paris, the Class C shares will be convertible into Ordinary Shares.

As at 31 January 2016, the Company's issued share capital comprised: 36,185,101 Ordinary Shares; 1 Class B Share; and, 330,660 Class C Shares. Accordingly, as at 31 January 2016, the total number of voting rights in the Company was 36,185,102. Shareholders may use this total voting rights figure as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine whether they are required to notify the AFM of their interest in, or a change to their interest in, the share capital of the Company.
