In such periods, it is aimed to initiate a share buyback program in order to contribute to the healthy and stable formation of the share price and to alleviate the sales pressure that may occur on the shares. In addition, during such periods, the Company's purchase of its own shares may become a better investment choice than any other investment alternative. With the authorization granted by the General Assembly, it is aimed to monitor the price movements that will occur in the Stock Exchange during the Buy-Back Program period and to enable the Company to purchase its own shares from the Stock Exchange when conditions arise.

The lower and upper price limits that are subject to correction and/or redetermined in this way will be announced on the Public Disclosure Platform with a material event disclosure.

The share price performance of public joint stock companies whose shares are traded on the stock exchange is determined under free market conditions according to the situation of the company and the sector in which the company operates, the financial data and specific conditions of the company, general macroeconomic conditions and the supply and demand for the shares in question.
