TAX FINE ON DISTRIBUTOR DISCOUNTS

 

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

 

 

Istanbul Stock Exchange

 

 

Special Subjects:

According to the 2004 Tax Investigation Report, which Turkcell received on November 23, 2009, our Company has been levied a tax imposition of TRY35.9 million in principal and TRY53.8 million tax loss totalling toTRY89.7 million, on the basis that Turkcell applied a discount on prepaid card sales to distributors and calculated the Special Communication Tax (“SCT”) netting off such discount.

 

As has been the case with the impositions in 2002 and 2003, Turkcell will seek all its legal rights and object to this assesment made in 2004.

At the Annual General Meeting of Turktell Uluslararasi Yatirim Holding A.S.(“Turktell”), 100% subsidiary of Turkcell Iletisim Hizmetleri A.S (“Turkcell”), convened on November 20, 2009, it has been decided to increase the capital of Turktell to TRY1,205,883,855 by adding the capital advance payments made in 2009 to Turktell, as per the previous decisions taken by Turkcell’s Board of Directors. The capital advance payments amounted to TRY117,765,643 and are being added to Turktell’s current capital of TRY1,088,118,212.
