ISTANBUL
Special Subjects:
We are requested by the Capital Markets Board to make a public disclosure which is presented below.
We have previously announced the decision of the Company’s Statutory Auditors to convene the Turkcell Annual General Meeting on June 29, 2012.
However, on June 26, 2012, some of our shareholders made statements to the news channels that the representative of Turkcell Holding, which owns a 51% stake in our Company would not be present at the Turkcell Annual General Meeting, and that consequently the General Meeting would not convene. We have not been notified directly by our shareholders on the issue.
Accordingly, as previously announced, the Turkcell Annual General Meeting will be held at Turkcell Headquarters, on Friday, June 29, 2012, at 10:00, if the required quorum is met.
