Our current Board Members, Mehmet T. NANE, Ali İ. SABANCI, Mehmet Cem KOZLU, Hatice Zeynep Bodur OKYAY, Stephen Mark GRIFFITHS, Agah UĞUR, David F. A. VISMANS and Ayşegül İLDENİZ were appointed at the Annual General Assembly Meeting dated March 28, 2024 for a term of one year and their term expires as of the Annual General Assembly Meeting dated March 28, 2025.
In this respect, the election for our Board of Directors, which must consist of at least five members, will take place at the Annual General Assembly Meeting dated March 28, 2025, based on nominations by our shareholders as per the relevant provisions of the TCC and Article 10 of our Articles of Association. Save for exceptions that may be allowed by the Capital Markets Board, one third of the total number of Board Members must fulfill the requisite independency criteria set out in the Corporate Governance Principles.
In addition to the above, as per Article 4.5.11 of the Corporate Governance Principles and the Committee Charter, our Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for the establishment of a transparent system for the determination, evaluation, and training of appropriate candidates for the Board of Directors and developing policies and strategies in this regard. In line with this responsibility, the Corporate Governance Committee determined a set of principles and criteria for 2024 Board Member Nomination, provided as Annex-5 hereto for the attention of our shareholders.
In consideration of the above and also the classification of our Company by the Capital Markets Board among "Tier 1 Companies" in terms of implementation of Corporate Governance Principles, announced in the Capital Markets Board Bulletin No. 2025/3 dated January 16, 2025 our Corporate Governance Committee has recommended, in its report evaluating the fulfillment of the requisite independency criteria by nominees for independent Board Member seats, that Agah UĞUR, David F. A. VISMANS and Ayşegül İLDENİZ are proposed to our shareholders at the Annual General Assembly Meeting for the year 2024 as nominees for independent Board Member seats. Agah UĞUR, currently serving as an independent Board member, has served as a Board member at our company since August 29, 2019. Due to the exhaustion of six-year tenure at the Board of Directors, we have requested Agah UĞUR to be exempted from the maximum tenure independence criterion as per Article 6, Paragraph 5 of the Corporate Governance Communiqué. When assessing the nominees, our Corporate Governance Committee evaluated that despite Agah UĞUR exhausting his sixth year as a member of the Board of Directors in 2025, he continues to fulfill all the other independence criteria sought by the Communiqué, and that the exhaustion of the six-year term alone will not infringe his independency. The Committee also considered that the continuity of his role as the Chairperson of the Audit Committee, assumed on March 30, 2023, is an important necessity for a reliable reorganization of the Committee membership in the coming years.
Our request for exemption was approved by the Capital Markets Board in its letter dated February 10, 2025. In its letter dated February 10, 2025, the Capital Markets Board approved our request for exemption for Agah UĞUR and further provided its non-objection to the nomination of David F. A. VISMANS and Ayşegül İLDENİZ as independent Board Members. Consequently, Ayşegül İLDENİZ, David F. A. VISMANS and Agah UĞUR will be nominated as independent Board members at the upcoming Annual General Assembly Meeting.
The résumés for and duties undertaken in the past year by each of our current Board Members who are eligible for re-appointment are provided as Annex-6 hereto for the attention of our shareholders.
As per the relevant provisions of the TCC and Article 10 of our Articles of Association, our Board Members are paid a monthly or annual salary or a per meeting payment to be determined by our shareholders at the General Assembly. In this respect, the Company must comply with the mandatory rules determined by the Capital Markets Board. Consequently, payments to be made to our Board Members during their term of office will be determined in accordance with the decision of our shareholders.
In As per Article 4.5.13 of the Corporate Governance Principles and the Committee Charter, our Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for determining the principles and criteria that apply to the compensation of Board Members, review such principles and criteria and taking into consideration the fulfillment of these criteria propose payments to be made to the Board Members to the Board of Directors. In line with this responsibility, the Corporate Governance Committee determined a set of principles and criteria for 2024 Board Member Remuneration, provided as Annex-5 hereto for the attention of our shareholders.
Members of our Board of Directors can only enter into transactions with the Company as per Article 395 of the TCC and undertake business in competition with our Company as per Article 396 of the TCC, subject to the authorization by our shareholders at the General Assembly Meeting. In this respect, authorization of our Board Members for the said matters will be submitted for the review and approval of our shareholders.
Starting from the fiscal year 2018, the Company procures independent audit services from Güney Bağımsız Denetim ve Serbest Muhasebeci Mali Müşavirlik A.Ş. (Ernst & Young Türkiye). The same independent audit firm cannot be nominated for an eight year in 2025, given the exhaustion of the maximum seven-year audit services within a given ten-year period.
Consequently, the proposal, in line with the recommendation of our Audit Committee, to appoint DRT Bağımsız Denetim ve Serbest Muhasebeci Mali Müşavirlik A.Ş. (Deloitte Türkiye) for procuring the necessary services to fulfill our Company's internal audit requirements arising from the TCC and the Communiqué Series: X, No: 22 regarding "Independent Audit Standards in Capital Markets" of the Capital Markets Board for the year 2025, will be submitted for the approval of our shareholders.
