As a result of the comprehensive internal audit and review work carried out within our Company for some time, and of the meetings held with the Savings Deposit Insurance Fund (TMSF) and the Capital Markets Board (CMB), the following matters are hereby disclosed to the public.
As stated in our material event disclosure dated 7 October 2026, our Company has no balance in the funds subject to liquidation as of 30 September 2026. However, the internal audit work has been deepened to also cover the year 2025. This work has determined that our Company invested in some of the said funds in accordance with the legislation in force at the relevant dates and with our Company's investment policy, and that it earned gains from these investments.
Although the said gains are in compliance with the legislation, it has been decided, on a voluntary basis, to return it. This decision reflects our Company's ethical principles and our sense of fairness, and follows the meetings held with TMSF and the CMB. The amount returned and the method of return were likewise determined as a result of the meetings held with TMSF and the CMB and on the basis of our Company's own calculation. Accordingly, the inflation effect corresponding to the investment period, at the rate of (D-PPI + CPI) / 2, was deducted from the trading gains obtained from the said funds, and the remaining TL 1,599,887,908 has been determined as the gain to be returned. The amount has been deposited into the TMSF account today.
It is anticipated that our Company has no further return and/or payment obligation in relation to the investments made in the said funds.
Our Company's legal rights with respect to this payment are reserved.
Developments on the matter will continue to be shared with the public simultaneously with all our stakeholders.
Respectfully submitted for the information and consideration of the public.
In the event of any discrepancy between the Turkish and English versions of this public disclosure statement, the Turkish version shall prevail.
