Guernsey, 29 March 2017
Volta Finance Limited (the "Company" or "Volta") announces a change in the
Directors' remuneration following a detailed external review carried out by
Trust Associates.
At a meeting on 28 March 2017, upon the recommendation of the Remuneration
Committee the Board adopted Trust Associates' recommendations in full, backdated
to 1 February 2017, noting that the purpose of the changes is primarily to
simplify the current Directors' remuneration and align it more closely with
shareholders' interests.
The new annual remuneration is:
Chairman - ?120,000
Director - ?88,000
Additional fee for Audit Chair - ?17,500
Additional fee for Senior Independent Director - ?6,000
Additional fee for Risk Chair - ?6,000
30% of each Director's remuneration will continue to be paid in shares but the
number of shares allocated will be calculated based on NAV rather than at share
price, as previously. The NAV used will be the most recently available Estimated
NAV.
The Directors' fees will continue to be paid quarterly.
In addition, Directors will now be required to retain shares for at least one
year.
The Company's previous Directors' remuneration was:
The Chairman was entitled to receive an annual fee of ?120,000. Each of the
other Directors was entitled to receive an annual fee of ?60,000, plus an
additional fee of ?10,000 per meeting for each of the first four meetings of the
Board attended in person by such Director in any calendar year. Such fees are
payable quarterly in arrears.
Each Director received 30% of his or her Director's fee in the form of newly
issued shares at a share price equal to the average per share closing price of
the shares on Euronext Amsterdam over the 60 consecutive Euronext Amsterdam
trading days preceding the date of issuance. The Directors were obliged to
retain those shares for a period of no less than six months from their
respective dates of issuance.
