Binding agreement with respect to the transfer of our shares in our 41.45% owned subsidiary Fintur Holdings B.V. ("Fintur") to Sonera Holding B.V., the other shareholder of Fintur, has been signed on December 12, 2018.
The transfer of shares is expected to be completed following the transfer of Fintur's subsidiary Kcell JSC to Kazakhtelecom as disclosed per our announcement dated December 12, 2018, and obtainment of other regulatory approvals. The final value of the transaction will be finalized following the respective adjustments. Based on the calculation over Fintur's financials as of November 30, 2018, the value of the transaction is anticipated to be approximately EUR 350 million.
Turkcell CEO Kaan Terzioğlu stated the following: "Today, we announce an important milestone towards our Company's focus on digital services and strong balance sheet strategies. We have been working for over one year on the divesment of Fintur, in which we are a minority shareholder. This morning as a first step, Fintur sold Kcell. Following that, as Turkcell we signed a binding agreement with respect to the transfer of our shares in our 41.45% owned subsidiary Fintur to our partner Telia for approximately EUR 350 million. We anticipate that the cash proceeds from this transaction, which is expected to be completed in January 2019, will lower our Net Debt/EBITDA ratio below 1.5 times and our limited short FX position will turn into a long position. Subject to the FX rates and balance sheet position on the closing date, the contribution of this transaction to Turkcell's profitability is expected to be approximately TRY 850 million. We will continue our investments in accordance with our digital services and growth focus with the proceeds generated through this transaction. In addition to our brand, technology, digital services portfolio and our human capital, our stronger than ever balance sheet will support our vision to become the global digital operator."
The sale transaction was executed in accordance with the decision of our Board of Directors of our Company which convened on December 11, 2018 with the participation of all of the independent members. The decision was resolved with the unanimous votes of the members.
The disclosure of this Board of Directors decision was postponed until the signing of the sale agreement with the underlying reason that such disclosure at negotiations stage might have misled the investors and adversely impacted the legal rights and interests of our Company. According to the 5th and 6th articles of the Capital Markets Board's "Communiqué Regarding Common Terms On Material Transactions And Right To Exit" with the number II-23.1, this sale transaction does not fall within the category of "Material Transaction"* defined therein.
*Relevant calculations are as follows:
a) The ratio of carrying value of the financial asset subject to the sale transaction to total assets as per the latest publicly disclosed financial statements (financial statements for the period ended as of 30 September 2018): 4.2% with a carrying value of TRY 1,928,649 thousand and total assets of TRY 45,404,096 thousand.
b) The ratio of transaction value to the market value calculated by taking daily adjusted weighted average price of shares over the previous 6-month period prior to date of the Board of Directors' decision: The market value by taking the adjusted weighted average price of shares over the previous 6-month period prior to the Board of Directors' decision dated December 11, 2018 is TRY 26,256,218 thousand and the anticipated transaction value is TRY 2,130,800 thousand translated into TRY with EUR/TRY indicative rate as of December 11, 2018. Accordingly, the ratio is 8.0%.
c) The contribution of the asset that is to be transferred or leased or created a right in rem to the total revenue and the ratio of this amount to the total sales as per the financial statements as at 31 December 2017. The revenue contribution is TRY 0 and the total sales is TRY 17,632,064 thousand. Accordingly, the ratio is 0%.
