ANNEX /4 REMUNERATION POLICY FOR SENIOR MANAGERS AND MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

This policy determines the remuneration system for the Members of the Board of Directors, General Manager, Assistant General Managers and Directors directly affiliated with the General Manager. In accordance with Turkish Commercial Code and Article 13 of Tat Gıda Sanayi A.Ş. Articles of Association, a fixed remuneration is determined for the board membership functions of all members of the Board at the Annual General Meeting of the Company. Pro rata payment is made to the members of the Board of Directors by taking into account the time they carried out their duty between the date of appointment and the date of resignation.

The executive Members of the Board of Directors shall be paid remuneration within the scope of the policy determined for Senior Managers as outlined below.

In addition to the fixed wage determined at the general assembly, additional benefits may be provided within the framework of the opinion of the Corporate Governance Committee to the members assigned to carry out certain functions in order to contribute to company activities other than the membership of the board of directors.

In respect of remuneration of the Independent Members of the Board of Directors, a payment plan based on the performance of the Company may not be used.

The expenses of the members of the board of directors may be covered by the company due to their contribution to the company (costs of transport, telephone, insurance etc.).

The remuneration for the senior managers, on the other hand, consists of two components, which are fixed and performance based.

Our remuneration management systems are established and applied in line with fair, objective, competitive, rewarding and motivating criteria and primary goals that recognize high performance.

The fixed salaries for Senior Managers are determined in accordance with international standards and legal obligations by taking into account the prevailing macroeconomic data in the market, the salary policies prevailing in the market, the size and long-term targets of the Company and the positions of the persons. With the remuneration policy, it is aimed to increase the motivation and loyalty of the employees by taking into account the internal wage balances and competitiveness in the market, and to attract qualified employees that have competencies capable of achieving our strategical business goals.

Bonuses for Senior Managers, on the other hand, are calculated based on bonus base, the performance of the company and the individual performance in a way that will support companies to exceed business goals, encourage high performance and reward sustainable success. A summary of the criteria is as follows:

▪ Bonus Base: Bonus Base is updated at the beginning of each year and varies depending on the work volume of the management positions. When updating the bonus base, senior management bonus policies in the market are taken into account.

▪ Company Performance: The performance of the Company is determined at the end of the year by measuring the financial and operational targets (i.e. market share, exports, overseas operations, productivity) assigned to the Company at the beginning of each year. In determination of the Company's targets, the sustainability of success and the degree to which it incorporates improvements over previous years are the principles taken into account.

▪ Individual Performance: In the determination of individual performance, the individual and collective objectives and key results determined by Senior Managers with their teams and executives are taken into account. In the measurement of individual performance, the principle of achieving long-term sustainable improvement in areas and compliance with Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) policies apart from the financial dimension are also observed.

Severance payments may be granted to the Senior Managers by taking into account total term of service, term of service as an executive, as well as contributions made to the Company, the recent bonus base, and the salaries and bonuses paid in the last year of service. Total amounts determined by the above principles and paid to the Senior Managers and the members of the Board of Directors during the year are submitted to the information and/or approval of the shareholders during the general assembly in accordance with the legislation
