Volta Finance : Non-Mainstream Pooled Investments (NMPI) Status

11 December 2018

Volta Finance Limited (VTA / VTAS)

Non-Mainstream Pooled Investments (NMPI)

Volta Finance Limited (the "Company") is pleased to announce a statement relating to the Financial

Conduct Authority ("FCA") rules regarding the definition and restrictions on the retail distribution of non-mainstream pooled investments ("NMPI"), which came into effect on 1 January 2014.

After due enquiry it is the opinion of the Board that the Company's shares qualify as an "excluded security" under these rules and are therefore excluded from the FCA's restrictions that apply to

NMPIs. The Board therefore believes that independent financial advisers can recommend the

Company's shares to retail investors, although financial advisers should seek their own advice on this issue.
