In line with the principles of a social state, governments are tasked with safeguarding national integrity and ensuring the security of their nations. In the contemporary landscape marked by rising geopolitical tensions and persistent threats of terrorism, countries are increasingly allocating resources to bolster their defense capabilities. Consequently, many nations are enhancing their defense infrastructure and undertaking efforts to modernize and restructure their technological frameworks.

b. Global Defense Industry Overview

According to data from the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI), global defense expenditures saw a significant increase of 9.4% in 2024, primarily driven by the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict. Total defense spending reached USD 2.72 trillion, marking a notable rise in military budgets worldwide. This expenditure accounts for 2.5% of the global Gross Domestic Product (GDP), underscoring the strategic importance of defense spending in the global economy. Regionally, Europe experienced the highest increase in defense spending, with a 17% rise, followed by the Middle East with a 15% increase. Within Europe, Central and Western European nations saw a 14% growth, while Eastern Europe recorded a 24% surge, primarily due to the increasing security concerns surrounding Russia.

When analyzing the countries with the highest defense expenditures in 2024, the United States ranked first with USD 997 billion, followed by China with USD 314 billion, Russia with USD 149 billion, Germany with USD 88.5 billion, and India with USD 86.1 billion. Together, these five countries accounted for 60% of total global defense expenditures (Source: SIPRI Military Expenditure Database, April 2025).

c. Turkish Defense Industry

As reported by the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI), Turkey ranked 17th globally in defense spending in 2024, with an expenditure of 25 billion USD.

According to the Central Government Budget Monthly Realization Reports published by the Strategy and Budget Directorate of the Presidency of the Republic of Turkey, expenditures on national defense and security amounted to 593 billion Turkish Lira (TL) in the January–September period of 2025. This represents a significant year-on-year increase of 58% compared to the same period in 2024, when spending totaled 375 billion TL.

B Holder Unprivileged 1,00 50.500.000 87.07
TOTAL 58.000.000,00 100,00

As per Article 9 of the Company's Articles of Association, half of the Board of Directors, totaling five members, will be elected by the General Assembly from candidates proposed by the majority of Group A shareholders. If the calculated half-member is a fraction, it will be rounded down to the nearest whole number. In accordance with Article 12 of the Articles of Association, Group A shareholders are entitled to five voting rights each, while Group B shareholders hold one voting right each during General Assembly meetings.

7. Privileged Shares

The Company's capital is segmented into Group A and Group B shares, both of which are registered shares. As stipulated in Article 12, titled "General Assembly," of the Company's Articles of Association:

  • Group A shares possess voting privileges, with each share valued at TL 1 granting its owner 5 votes during general assembly meetings.
  • Conversely, Group B shares lack voting privileges, with each share valued at TL 1 entitling its owner to 1 vote in general assembly meetings.

Mehmet DORA exercises management control over the Company, which is derived from his shareholding and ownership of privileged Group A shares. As stipulated in Article 9 of the Company's Articles of Association, titled "Board of Directors and Its Term," at least half of the Board of Directors, which shall consist of a minimum of five members, is to be elected by the General Assembly from candidates nominated by the majority of Group A shareholders.

In cases where the total number of Board members is odd, resulting in a fractional division for the number of members to be nominated by Group A shareholders, the number of nominees shall be rounded up to the next whole number. Furthermore, in accordance with Article 12, titled "General Assembly," of the Company's Articles of Association, each Group A share grants its holder five votes at General Assembly meetings. Group B shares, by contrast, do not carry any special privileges.

8. Board of Directors Overview

The Company's management and representation in dealings with third parties are vested in the Board of Directors. The Board, composed of at least 5 members in compliance with Turkish Commercial Code and Capital Markets Law, oversees the Company's affairs and administration. Directors serve a maximum term of 3 years and may be re-elected upon the expiration of their term. The General Assembly retains the authority to change Board members if necessary.

To ensure accountability and impartiality, the General Assembly elects a sufficient number of independent directors in line with the principles of director independence outlined in the Corporate Governance Principles attached to the Capital Markets Board's Corporate Governance Communiqué No. 17.1. The selection and qualifications of independent directors adhere to the regulations of the Capital Markets Board on corporate governance.

Board members are permitted to hold positions on the boards of other companies. Meetings of the Board of Directors may be convened by the Chairman or, in their absence, by the Vice Chairman. Meeting and voting procedures are governed by the Turkish Commercial Code, requiring a majority of members for a quorum.

Decisions are made by a majority of members present, as stipulated in Article 390 of the Turkish Commercial Code, including when the board convenes electronically.

The purpose of SDT A.Ş.'s Dividend Distribution Policy is to define the principles for profit distribution in accordance with the Turkish Commercial Code, the CMB's "Communiqué on Dividends" (Serial II No: 19.1, published in the Official Gazette on 23.01.2014, No. 28891), and other applicable legal regulations.

The objective of the Remuneration Policy is to establish principles for determining the compensation of the Company's Board Members and senior executives in accordance with the CMB's "Corporate Governance Communiqué," Serial: IV No: 17.1, which came into effect upon publication in the Official Gazette dated 01.03.2014, and numbered 28871.

These principles consider the Company's long-term objectives and are then presented to the Board of Directors for approval. The approved remuneration principles are separately disclosed to shareholders during General Assembly meetings, providing them with an opportunity to express their views on the matter.

e.Information Security Policy

Given the critical nature of the defense sector in which SDT primarily operates, ensuring information security is paramount. With a keen awareness of this sensitivity, the company is dedicated to guaranteeing the confidentiality, integrity, and accessibility of information assets belonging to itself and its internal and external stakeholders in all organizational activities. This commitment is upheld through the implementation and maintenance of an Information Security Management System (ISMS) established within the framework of the TS ISO/IEC 27001 standard.

To achieve this, the company:

  • Abides by its legal, regulatory, and contractual obligations concerning information security.
  • Implements and sustains a risk management methodology to identify, evaluate, and control risks associated with information assets.
  • Develops suitable business continuity plans and systems to ensure the continuity of business activities with minimal interruption. These plans are implemented, tested, and continuously enhanced.
  • Conducts regular training and awareness-raising activities to enhance information security awareness among stakeholders.
  • Constantly enhances the ISMS through regular audits and reviews based on objective measurements. Control targets are established to enhance information security performance.
  • Ensures that appropriate measures are taken and necessary sanctions are imposed to manage and prevent the recurrence of information security violations.

f. Quality Policy and Quality Management System

SDT, as an institution committed to fulfilling the requirements of the Quality Management System, aims to:

  • Meet customer needs in the most appropriate and competitive manner through its processes and applications.
  • Ensure sustainable growth in both foreign and domestic markets by fostering effective and efficient teams with its employees and establishing strong collaborative relationships with other companies through its products/solutions.
  • Achieve, enhance, and maintain balanced satisfaction among all stakeholders (customers, employees, shareholders, suppliers, subcontractors, business partners) and instill confidence in society through the development and production of products and services.
  • Ensure that all functions within the company operate in an integrated manner with a process-oriented approach based on measurement and improvement, managing them with data.
  • Increase and manage the competencies of all employees within the framework of the quality system in accordance with needs, focusing on continuous improvement and development. This is achieved by recognizing employees as integral parts of a larger whole and prioritizing internal information sharing.

g. Technology Infrastructure & Corporate Information Governance

In 2022, significant upgrades were made to the information system server and storage infrastructure as part of a comprehensive modernization initiative. By January 1, 2021, the implementation of the second phase functionalities of the Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) application had been successfully concluded, aligning with the strategic plan's objectives to fortify the corporate infrastructure. In pursuit of bolstering corporate memory, streamlining processes through digitization, and transitioning towards a paperless office environment, the deployment and expansion of the content management system were completed.

Moreover, in 2023, CMMI Ver2.0 certification efforts were successfully concluded.
