As an independent member of the board of directors of our company, Mr. Leonard Martin Meany's 6-year term expired in 2021 within the scope of the criterion "Not to have conducted membership of board of directors more than a term of six years in the last ten years. " set out in subparagraph (g) of the article 4.3.6 of the Corporate Governance Principles attached to the Capital Markets Board's Communique II-17.1. on Corporate Governance ("Communique").

Mr. Leonard Martin Meany, who is an internationally recognized foreign board member, has proven his competence in his field, has deep knowledge in the automotive industry and has significant contribution to our Company's vision and development. The presence of foreign independent member on the board of directors of our Company, reaching 80% foreign share in free float in Borsa İstanbul and one of its two strategic main shareholders is foreign, makes a significant contribution. Considering the contribution of the services of the current independent members and the additional burdens that especially the change of foreign independent member may bring in the adaptation process during the ongoing pandemic period, it has been resolved that it would be meaningful to continue with the current independent board members.

Taking all these into account, our application to the Capital Markets Board pertaining to extend Mr. Leonard Martin Meany's serving term as an independent board member for a period of 1 (one) year and to submit him as an independent member candidate at the general assembly has been approved by the Capital Markets Board. At our general assembly meeting planned to be held in March, our current independent board members, Mr. Leonard Martin Meany and Ms. Fatma Füsun Akkal Bozok will be submitted to the approval of the general assembly as independent candidates of the board of directors.
