Announcement Regarding the Development 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, the Savings Deposit Insurance Fund (“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. Further, SDIF informed the Court that its receivables that are in connection with the case were transferred to Bilgin Holding A.S and 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.
SDIF and Bilgin Holding A.S. have applied for an appeal regarding the aforementioned ruling.
*A-Tel Pazarlama ve Servis Hizmetleri A.S. (“A-Tel”) is a 50%-50% joint venture of the Company and the 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.
