Announcement Regarding the Capital Increase in Subsidiaries


Subject: Statement made pursuant to Circular VIII, No: 54 of the Capital Markets Board
 
At the General Assemblies of our 100% owned subsidiaries Turktell Bilisim Servisleri A.S. (“Turktell Bilisim”) and Turktell Uluslararası Yatırım Holding A.S. (“Turktell Uluslararası”) convened on December 23, 2013, it was decided to increase Turktell Bilisim’s capital by TRY 418,518,356 to TRY 1,876,076,134 and Turktell Uluslararası’s capital by TRY 20,888,731 to TRY 1,422,625,981.
 
The capital increase for both companies constitutes the capital advance payments made during 2013, in line with the relevant decisions of Turkcell’s Board of Directors. These capital advance payments were the amounts paid for the financing of Group companies, mainly for Superonline İletişim Hizmetleri A.S.’s (“Turkcell Superonline”) investments, and relate to previous periods. Therefore, there will be no new cash outflow.
