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.
