Enclosure: Announcement Regarding the Board of Directors Decision on Share Buy-Back.
Istanbul, July 27, 2016
Announcement Regarding the Board of Directors Decision on Share Buy-Back
Subject: Statement made pursuant to Communique II-15.1 of the Capital Markets Board
Our Company’s Board of Directors has authorized the management to execute share buy-back transactions, within the scope of the announcements dated July 21, 2016 and July 25, 2016 made by the Capital Markets Board. The purpose is to protect our investors against potentially negative reflections on Turkey that may arise due to the instability perception in the short and medium term subsequent to the recent events on and after July 15, 2016, and/or due to potential global macroeconomic volatilities. In this context, it has been resolved that the maximum fund amount set aside for share buy-back will be TRY150,000,000, and the maximum share number to be bought back will be determined so as not to exceed this amount.
Our Company’s Board of Directors has also resolved to purchase, sell and/or redeem our Company’s bonds, within the maximum fund amount set above, at a price and level to be determined by management, provided that applications are made to the relevant authorities to obtain necessary permits.
