The minutes of the relevant General Assembly agenda item are presented below. ?Upon stating that the Board of Directors? proposal regarding the profit distribution for the year 2024 had been disclosed on the Public Disclosure Platform, on the Electronic General Assembly System of Merkezi Kayıt Kuruluşu A.Ş., on the Company?s corporate website at www.arcelikglobal.com , and in the printed Annual Report for 2024 at least three weeks prior to the General Assembly meeting, excluding the announcement and meeting dates, the discussion of the proposal was commenced. According to the financial statements for the accounting period between January 1 and December 31, 2024, which were prepared by Arçelik A.Ş. management in accordance with the Turkish Financial Reporting Standards (TFRS), audited by Güney Bağımsız Denetim ve Serbest Muhasebeci Mali Müşavirlik A.Ş., and presented in the Annual Report; in compliance with the capital markets legislation, Article 18 of the Company?s Articles of Association, and our Dividend Distribution Policy, and considering the Company?s investment and financing policies, it has been proposed not to distribute dividends for the current year in order to increase the Company?s free cash, strengthen its liquidity position, and further reinforce its balance sheet structure, also taking into account the current year loss according to Tax Procedure Law (VUK) records. It was further proposed that the current year loss amounting to TRY 14,573,312,383.16 calculated according to VUK records be transferred to prior years? losses, and that the net profit for the period amounting to TRY 1,689,081,675.17 in the financial statements prepared in accordance with TFRS be transferred to prior years? profits. The proposal was read to the General Assembly. In accordance with the CMB?s Principle Decision dated March 7, 2024, the General Assembly was informed that, as a result of the inflation adjustment applied to the financial statements prepared in accordance with VUK, there was no net accumulated loss from previous years, and therefore there was no situation requiring offsetting.
