INVESTOR RELATIONS

When our Company's retained earnings and dividend performance is analyzed, it appears that our Company has recorded profits even in the most distressed periods of economy and since 1994, the year we went public, we have distributed 50% or more of our net profit to our shareholders as dividend. It is aimed to continue this understanding in the future periods, within the framework of the Turkish Commercial Code, Capital Market legislation and the implementation and principle decisions of the Capital Markets Board. Our Company's profit distribution policy for the year 2014 and future years is to distribute 50% or more of the distributable profit as dividends. However, our distribution rate will be reviewed every year according to the developments in domestic and foreign economic conditions, investment opportunities and financing opportunities of our company.
