Enclosure: A press release dated August 27, 2014 announcing a shift in the business model of Turkcell Europe.
Istanbul, August 27, 2014
Announcement Regarding the Shift in Business Model of Turkcell Europe
Subject: Statement made pursuant to Communique II-15.1 of the Capital Markets Board
The “wholesale traffic purchase” agreement, signed between our company’s subsidiary Turkcell Europe GmbH operating in Germany and Deutsche Telekom for five years in 2010, has been modified to reflect the shift in business model to a “marketing partnership”.
The new agreement between our company and a subsidiary of Deutsche Telekom was signed on August 27, 2014. The transfer of Turkcell Europe subscribers and operations to Deutsche Telekom’s subsidiary will be executed on January 15, 2015. This transfer is expected to have no major impact on Turkcell consolidated financial statements.
