It has been observed that a shareholder of our Company submitted a petition dated 12.03.2026 and numbered REF:2026/012 via Registered Electronic Mail (KEP) to the Investor Relations Manager of our Company, requesting that the following items be added to the agenda of the Ordinary General Assembly Meeting in which the financial statements of the Company for the year 2025 will be discussed. Within the framework of the Turkish Commercial Code (TCC) and other applicable legislation, it has been resolved by the Board of Directors to reject the said requests for the reasons stated below and to make the necessary disclosures pursuant to subparagraph (ç) of Article 1.3.1 of the Corporate Governance Principles of the Capital Markets Board (CMB).
Items Requested to be Added to the Agenda:
1- Informing the General Assembly (attendees) about the reasons and related processes concerning the criminal complaint filed by the Company and the Chairman of the Board against a shareholder who requested information under the Capital Markets Law and the Turkish Commercial Code No. 6102, alleging blackmail and insult.
2- Discussion and resolution on the dismissal of Board Members Mehmet Turgut Yılmaz, Engin Kam and Hakan Yılmaz from their positions.

Reason for Rejection:
Article 411 of the Turkish Commercial Code No. 6102 stipulates that: “(1) Shareholders representing at least one-tenth of the share capital, or one-twentieth in publicly held companies, may request the board of directors in writing, stating the reasons and specifying the agenda, to convene the general assembly or, if the general assembly is already to be convened, to include on the agenda the matters they wish to be resolved.”
Similarly, Article 9, paragraph 3 of the Regulation on the Procedures and Principles of General Assembly Meetings of Joint Stock Companies and the Ministry Representatives to be Present at Such Meetings provides that: “Minority shareholders representing at least one-tenth of the company’s capital, or one-twentieth in publicly held companies, or a lower ratio if stipulated in the articles of association, may request in writing through a notary public that the board of directors convene the general assembly, or if the general assembly is already to be convened, that the matters they wish to be resolved be included in the agenda, provided that the request stating the reasons and the proposed agenda is submitted before the payment date of the announcement fee for publication of the meeting notice in the Turkish Trade Registry Gazette.”
Yine SPK’nun Kurumsal Yönetim Tebliği (II-17.1) ek-1 Kurumsal Yönetim İlkeleri madde 1.3.1.(ç) de; “Ortaklık pay sahiplerinin gündeme madde konulmasına ilişkin Yatırımcı İlişkileri Bölümü’ne yazılı olarak iletmiş oldukları talepleri, yönetim kurulunun ortakların gündem önerilerini kabul etmediği hallerde, kabul görmeyen öneriler ile ret gerekçelerinin” bilgi amaçlı yatırımcılarla paylaşılmasına dair hüküm bulunmaktadır.
Furthermore, Article 1.3.1 (ç) of the Corporate Governance Principles annexed to the Capital Markets Board’s Corporate Governance Communiqué (II-17.1) stipulates that “requests submitted in writing by shareholders to the Investor Relations Department regarding the inclusion of items on the agenda, and in cases where such agenda proposals are not accepted by the board of directors, the rejected proposals and the reasons for rejection” shall be disclosed to investors for information purposes.
Upon examination of the aforementioned request, it has been observed that the relevant investor is not included in the list titled “Breakdown of Shareholders Holding More Than 5% of the Capital and Voting Rights,” which is created on the basis of the shareholding records registered in the Central Dematerialized System and disclosed on the Public Disclosure Platform by Merkezi Kayıt Kuruluşu A.Ş.
Within the scope of the aforementioned legal provisions, since the right to request the inclusion of items on the General Assembly agenda is granted only to shareholders representing at least one-twentieth (5%) of the Company’s share capital, it has been resolved to reject the request of the investor, who is understood not to meet the required shareholding threshold, and to make the necessary disclosures on the Public Disclosure Platform.
e. Information on Requests from the Capital Markets Board or Other Public Authorities Regarding the Inclusion of Items on the Agenda:
For the Ordinary General Assembly Meeting to be held for the discussion of the activities of the year 2025, no request has been received from the Capital Markets Board of Türkiye or any other public authority for the inclusion of additional items on the agenda.
