SAHA publishes (annually) the World Corporate Governance Index (WCGI) which ranks countries in terms of their level of compliance with corporate governance principles as well as their germane institutions, rules, codes, and regulations together with international standards and indices which evaluate countries in a vast array of areas such as transparency, corruption, ease of doing business, etc.. Kimteks Poliüretan Sanayi ve Ticaret A.Ş. is analyzed as a Turkish company and Turkey takes place at the top classification of the WCGI which is Group 1. Details of the World Corporate Governance Index (WCGI) published by SAHA on July 12, 2023 can be accessed at http://www.saharating.com.

Kimpur is rated with 8.90 under the Shareholders heading. Exercise of shareholders' rights complies with the legislation, Articles of Association and other internal rules and regulations, and measures have been taken to ensure the exercise of these rights. Company carries out the shareholder relations obligations via the Investor Relations Department. All procedures prior to the general shareholders' meeting as well as the conduct of the meeting comply with the legislation, rules and regulations. The Company has established a policy on donations and grants and submitted it to the general shareholders' meeting for approval. The Company has a consistent, publicly disclosed dividend policy. There are no restrictions on the transfer of publicly traded shares. The rate of minority rights in the Company's Articles of Association is adopted as prescribed for public joint stock companies (%5). On the other hand, Kimpur has both voting privileges and the privilege of nominating candidates to the Board of Directors, an important area for improvement in terms of corporate governance principles.

Kimpur attained 9.54 under the Public Disclosure and Transparency chapter. There is a comprehensive web site which includes all information listed in the Corporate Governance Principles pertinent to "Public Disclosure". Public announcements are carried out via all communications channels and are in accordance with the CMB and Borsa Istanbul rules and regulations. The web site is also prepared in English for the benefit of international investors. The 2024 Annual Report complies with the legislation, comprehensive, and informative. The Company's shareholding structure; the names of the ultimate controlling individual shareholders as identified after being released from indirect or cross shareholding relationships between co-owners is disclosed to the public. Non-disclosure of all benefits provided to the members of the Board of Directors and senior executives in the Annual Report on an individual basis has been identified as an area open to improvement under this heading.

On the topic of Stakeholders, Kimpur scored 9.95. The use of the rights of the stakeholders has been facilitated. A written compensation policy for the employees is established and disclosed to public on the corporate web site. No public fines/sanctions were incurred during the rating period. Code of ethics is publicly available on the corporate web site. The Company also has a written human resources policy. The sustainability policy and implementations are at the highest level. Models supporting the participation of stakeholders in the Company's management have been established and are in operation.

From the perspective of the principles regarding the Board of Directors, Kimpur's tally is 9.35. There are well communicated Company mission, vision, and strategic goals. The Board of Directors consist of five members, of which two hold executive duties and two are independent. CMB criteria are complied with for the appointment of independent members. There are two female members on the Board of Directors, and a "Female Board Membership Policy" has been established to increase the number of female members. Corporate Governance, Audit, and Early Detection of Risk Committees are established within the Board and their working principles are disclosed to the public. The conduct of the Board of Directors meetings is determined by inhouse regulations. Principles of remuneration of Board members and senior executives are available on the Company's web site. Kimpur does not lend any funds or extend any credits to a member of the Board or to senior executives. Losses that may be incurred by the Company as a result of not performing the Board members' duties duly are insured for a coverage exceeding 25% of the share capital, and disclosed on PDP.

SAHA's methodology for rating the degree of compliance with the Principles of Corporate Governance is based upon the CMB's "Corporate Governance Principles" released on January 2014.

The CMB based these principles on the leading work of The World Bank, The Organization of Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), and the Global Corporate Governance Forum (GCGF) which has been established in cooperation with the representatives of the preceding two organizations and private sector. Experts and representatives from the CMB, Borsa Istanbul and the Turkish Corporate Governance Forum have participated in the committee that was established by the CMB for this purpose. Additionally; many qualified academicians, private sector representatives as well as various professional organizations and NGOs have stated their views and opinions, which were added to the Principles after taking into account country specific issues. Accordingly, these Principles have been established as a product of contributions from all high-level bodies.

Certain applications of the Principles are based on "comply or explain" approach and others are mandatory. However, the explanation concerning the implementation status of the Principles, if not detailed reasoning thereof, conflicts arising from inadequate implementation of these Principles, and explanation on whether there is a plan for change in the Company's governance practices in future should be mentioned in the annual report and disclosed to public.

The Principles consist of four main sections: shareholders, public disclosure and transparency, stakeholders, and the board of directors.

Based on these Principles, the SAHA Corporate Governance Rating methodology features around 330 subcriteria. During the rating process, each criterion is evaluated on the basis of information provided by the Company officials and disclosed publicly. Some of these criteria can be evaluated by a simple YES/NO answer; others require more detailed analysis and examination.

SAHA assigns ratings between 1 (weakest) and 10 (strongest). In order to obtain a rating of 10, a company should be in full and perfect compliance with the Principles (see Rating Definitions, p.23).

To determine the total rating score for each main section parallel to the CMB's Corporate Governance Principles, SAHA allocates the following weights:

Shareholders:25% Public Disclosure and Transparency: 25% Stakeholders: 15% Board of Directors: 35%

To determine the final overall rating, SAHA utilizes its proprietary methodology which consists of subsection weightings and weightings for the criteria there under. A separate rating is assigned to each one of the main sections as well.

Three webcasts and approximately 13 one-on-one meetings were held with

fund managers and analysts regarding the 2024 financial results.

1.2. Shareholders' Right to Obtain and Evaluate Information:

There is no evidence of any hindering process or application regarding the appointment of a special auditor.

All kinds of information about the Company required by the legislation are provided in a complete, timely and honest manner and there is no fine or warning received in this regard within the rating period.

In addition, the Company has constituted a disclosure policy and disclosed to public on its web site.

1.3. General Shareholders' Meeting:

In addition to the methods of invitation in the legislation and to ensure attendance of maximum number of shareholders, the invitation to the ordinary general shareholders' meeting held on July 23, 2025 covering the 2024 fiscal year, is performed through all means of communication available to the Company on June 23, 2025 in accordance with the Corporate Governance Principles.

Shareholders are informed via the web site regarding the total number of shares and voting rights reflecting the Company's shareholding structure as of the date of disclosure, and whether there are any privileged share groups within the Company capital.

Agenda items were put under a separate heading and expressed clearly in a manner not to result in any misinterpretations. Expressions like "other" and "various" were not used.

This is an area open to improvement in terms of Corporate Governance Principles.

Group A shares hold privileges in the election of the members of the Board of Directors. 2 members of the Board, which consists of 5 members, are selected from among the A-Group shareholders or the candidates they will nominate.

The Privileged Shares General Assembly, which consists of Group A shareholders, convenes to determine the candidates to be nominated to the Board prior to the General Shareholders' meeting date when the Board members will be elected.

Members of the Board to be nominated by A-Group shareholders are determined by majority of votes among the candidates nominated by each A-Group shareholder. The names of the nominees for the Board must be notified to the Company prior to the General Shareholders' meeting.

It is submitted to the shareholders at the general shareholders' meeting and is incorporated in the Annual Report.
