We announced on January 11, 2007 that, Astelit Limited Liability Company (“Astelit”), a subsidiary of Turkcell domiciled in Ukraine would implement a new financial restructuring. In this context, Astelit started negotiations with the lenders of USD390 million syndicated loan for the restructuring of the borrowed amount. As of today, Financell B.V., a wholly owned subsidiary of Turkcell decided to undertake the loan and all of the commitment of the lenders related to this loan. With respect to this restructuring, it is decided that Turkcell shall guarantee with a limit to the total amount of principal up to USD390 million, any accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount and any unpaid default interest in relation thereto and any other costs, expenses and fees that may accrue in connection with this credit.

Depending on the market conditions and its financial performance, Astelit aims to pay back its debt to Financell within 18 months through a new financing package.

We hereby confirm that the above-mentioned explanations are furnished as per the provisions of the Communiqué Serial no VIII/39, that they reflect all information we have gathered so far, that they are in accordance with our corporate documents, that we have used all endeavors to collect the complete and true related information and that we assume the responsibility for this disclosure.
