Turkcell Decided Not to Participate in the National Lottery Tender (“Milli Piyango”)

Subject: Statement made pursuant to Communique II-15.1 of the Capital Markets Board


As previously announced, Turkcell’s 55% owned subsidiary Inteltek1 and 100% owned subsidiary Talih Kuşu2, as a joint venture group, had made a prequalification application for the “License Tender for the Privatization of Games of Chance (“National Lottery Tender”)”
