Announcement Regarding The Developments In Relation To The A-Tel Case

Subject:  Statement made pursuant to Circular VIII, No: 54 of the Capital Markets Board


 
As announced, within the context of our annulment notification pursuant to service provider and distribution agreement terms with A-Tel* effective from 1 August 2012, SDIF filed a lawsuit against our Company on recovery of TRY 131.9 million, which is allegedly the amount of loss resulted from the annulment, together with its overdue interest. In due course, SDIF informed the Court that its receivables that are in connection with the case were transferred to Bilgin Holding A.Ş. The related Court ruled the dismissal of the case in regard to procedure on grounds that there is no capacity of being claimant for SDIF.
 
*A-Tel Pazarlama ve Servis Hizmetleri A.S. (“A-Tel”) is a 50%-50% joint venture of the Company and the Savings Deposit Insurance Fund (“SDIF”) and involved in the selling and distributing of the pre-paid lines in Turkey. SDIF has transferred its 50% of shares in A-Tel to Bilgin Holding A.S. on 4 July 2013.
