Additionally, it has been noted that an independent Board member does not meet the criteria stipulated in CMB Corporate Governance Principles Article 4.3.6, paragraph (a), of the Corporate Governance Communiqué. As a result, the required majority of votes specified in the third clause of Article 9 of the Communiqué was not achieved. Therefore, I assert that the decisions made by the Board of Directors are invalid, and I intend to exercise my legal rights against all parties involved. |

Item No Participant Shareholder Dissenting Opinion 6 GÜRSOY HAFIZOĞLU GÜRSOY HAFIZOĞLU After the establishment of VIOP contracts, the terms of the contract were altered by your dividend declaration. Buyer parties incurred losses equivalent to the dividend, while opening a pathway for seller parties to gain unjust enrichment. This change burdened recipient parties with the impact of altered conditions, resulting in injustice and inequality among parties. Legal and transactional security were compromised, and fundamental rights and freedoms were violated. The balance and justice established at the contract's inception have been disrupted. This action constitutes a violation of Article 48 of the Constitution, Article 5 of the UN International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights which prohibits the abuse of rights, and Article 26 guaranteeing equality before the law.
