Turcas has held discussions with The Shell Company of Turkey (Shell) with respect to strategic alternatives concerning Shell & Turcas Petrol A.Ş. (STAS), a JV with Shell in which Turcas has a 30% stake. Public disclosure of these negotiations were delayed pursuant to Turcas Board Resolution dated May 14, 2015, No. 2015-10 as per the authority granted by Public Disclosure Guide article 6, based on No II – 15.1 Public Disclosure Communique, Article 27 of the Capital Markets Board of Turkey (Communique). The uncertainty regarding the result of these discussions and the need to protect our shareholders from any unjustified price movements which may result from inconclusive disclosures were the basis for the decision to delay disclosure.
These discussions have resulted in amendments to various agreements between the parties, including the following matters:
(i)
Shell has been granted the right, but not the obligation, exercisable at any time and only by Shell, after a 2 year lock-up period, to trigger a calculation of the Fair Market Value (FMV) of STAS for the purpose of purchasing Turcas' 30% shares. If upon calculation of FMV Shell makes an offer to purchase Turcas' shares in STAS, Turcas has the right to counter offer to purchase Shell's 70% shares in STAS, which could then effectively trigger an auction between the parties where each party has the right either to agree to sell its shares at the last offer or make an increased counter-offer to purchase the other party's shares. Shell has the ability to cancel the auction process at any time before acceptance of any offer . If Shell stops the process, all the offers made up to that time will be null and void and each party's shareholding in STAS will not change. But if it elects to do so, a 2 year lock up period will again be imposed.
(ii)
In return for Turcas providing Shell with the option to trigger an exit, Shell shall cause STAS to issue 125 Usufruct Certificates to Turcas, which shall each entitle Turcas to USD 64,000 of preferred dividends per annum to be valid from financial year 2016 and with first payment to be realized in 2017.
Turcas believes that these discussions and resulting changes have strengthened the cooperation of the parties within the JV while providing them with a fair and flexible mechanism to exit the JV if and when deemed necessary by changing global and macroeconomic circumstances. Turcas does not expect the mentioned changes to have a significant impact on the balance or the amount of the return generated by the parties from the JV.
Kind regards,
