The BoD of our subsidiary Arçelik Pazarlama A.Ş. has decided to accept the pledge to be established on the shares of the Arçelik A.Ş, owned by dealers, as a guarantee in accordance with the provisions of the Capital Market Law, in order to consolidate the collateral structure of the receivables from dealers, to be able to benefit from the easy method of collateral dissolution process and with the purpose to increase the collateral diversification and liquidity, in accordance with the existing collateral structure.

In the envisaged structure, a collateral agreement, in line with CMB clause 47, will signed between Arçelik Pazarlama A.Ş. and dealers, according to which ownership of shares will remain in the hands of dealers and collateral process will be followed in the sub-account of the dealer that will be created at Central Registry Agency. In the event that the dealer goes into default, the shares that are accepted as a collateral, will be sold to third parties in the stock exchange within the framework of the relevant regulations and the amount obtained from the sale, which will cover the receivables amount, will be transferred to Arçelik Pazarlama A.Ş. Therefore, the relevant shares are, at no stage in the process, will pass into ownership of Arçelik A.Ş. or Arçelik Pazarlama A.Ş. Due to this feature, the planned transaction differs from the Communiqué on Repurchased Shares of CMB, and appropriate opinion was received from the CMB that certain provisions of the Communiqué does not need to implemented in the planned programme.

The main elements of the program created in this context are presented belo

- In order to initiate the relevant transactions, the program for taking pledge of Arçelik A.Ş. shares as a collateral by Arçelik Pazarlama A.Ş. against its receivables from its dealers, will be submitted to the approval of the shareholders at the General Assembly of Arçelik A.Ş.

- Within the program, which will be in line with the legal limits of the Communique regarding share thresholds, it is hard to share a guidance, regarding the value of expected pledged shares as it will depend on dealers' initiative. However, it is not expected to reach a significant size in the initial years of the programme.

- Shares will be taken as a collateral, at the closing price of previous day, periodically monitored on the latest closing price and will be sold off, if necessary, at market price.

- Since the purpose of the program is that shares will constitute a collateral for the receivables from the dealers, the three-year term requirement in the Communiqué will not be required for the program, also considering the long-term relationship with the dealers and the fact that no action will be taken regarding the shares subject to pledge during the time if the dealer fulfills its obligations.

After this program is evaluated and a decision is given at the General Assembly of Arçelik A.Ş., no material disclosure will be made for each collateral in the process. However, information about the total value of pledged shares may be obtained from the financial reports of Arçelik A.Ş.
