Within the framework of our Company's strategic plans, with the target to create value by using Aygaz's existing equity and borrowing capacity by focusing especially on international LPG investments and other business areas such as cargo distribution, it has been resolved to transfer Entek Elektrik Üretim A.Ş. ("Entek") shares in our Company's assets which corresponds to 49.62% of the registered Entek capital, to Türkiye Petrol Rafinerileri A.Ş. ("Tüpraş") through a partial demerger transaction through the model of share transfer to Aygaz shareholders. Simultaneously, the Entek shares registered in the assets of our controlling shareholder Koç Holding A.Ş. will be transferred to Tüpraş through a partial demerger transaction through the associates model. It has been resolved to carry out the partial demerger transaction within the framework of Articles 159 to 179 of the Turkish Commercial Code No. 6102, which regulates the demerger transaction; Articles 19 and 20 of the Corporate Tax Law No. 5520., with the provisions of Corporate Tax General Communiqué Serial No. 1; the Capital Markets Law No. 6362, the Capital Markets Board's ("CMB") Communiqué on Mergers and Demergers (II-23.2), the Trade Registry Regulation and other relevant legislation. Accordingly, it has been resolved by the Board of Directors including all of the independent members; 1. To carry out the demerger transaction on the basis of the independently audited financial statements dated 31.12.2021 of the companies that are party to the transaction, which have been prepared in accordance with the relevant CMB regulations, 2. To use the Expert Report prepared in accordance with the provisions of the CMB's Communiqué on Mergers and Demergers (II-23.2) by Ernst Young Kurumsal Finansman Danışmanlık A.Ş. as a basis for the determination of the demerger rate, the exchange ratio, the capital decrease amount to be made in our Company and the capital increase amount to be made in Tüpraş in accordance with these, 3. To decrease our Company's issued capital from TRY 300,000,000- to TRY 219,800,767- and to amend Article 6 "Capital" of the Company's Articles of Association and accordingly to apply to get the necessary approvals from Capital Markets Board and the Ministry of Trade and to propose the amendment to the approval of General Assembly where the demerger transaction will be discussed, 4. To submit the Demerger Agreement and Demerger Report together with the amendment of the articles of association to the approval of the shareholders at our Company's General Assembly, 5. To take over the shares to be issued by Tüpraş as a result of demerger by our shareholders, 6. To make all kinds of official applications, notifications, announcements and legal proceedings, including those listed in the above-mentioned articles and the necessary Ministry of Trade, Energy Market Regulatory Authority ("EMRA") and CMB applications in order to carry out the demerger transactions in accordance with the relevant regulations. According to the Expert Report, while Tüpraş's issued capital will be increased by TRY 24,837,314 due to the takeover through demerger, issued shares with a nominal value of TRY 12,418,655 will be given to Koç Holding who will be executing partial demerger transaction through the associates model and the remaining nominal value of TRY 12,418,659 will be given to Aygaz shareholders who will be executing partial demerger transaction through the model of share transfer to its shareholders. Aygaz's issued capital will be decreased by TRY 80,199,233. As a result of the transaction Koç Holding and Aygaz shareholders will receive Tüpraş shares with a nominal value TRY 0.02635 in exchange for Entek shares with a nominal value TRY 1. With respect to the CMB's Communiqué On Common Principles Regarding Significant Transactions And The Retirement Right (II-23.3), since the highest ratio in the calculations made for Entek shares transferred by our Company as the demerged party are below 40% (the ratio of the registered value of the shares to total assets being 6.1%; the ratio of the transaction amount to the last six months' average market value being 38.2%; the ratio of revenues from the transferred assets to all revenues being 0.5%), the materiality threshold of 75% in the said Communiqué is not exceeded, thus the transaction will not be considered a "significant transaction" within the scope of the aforementioned Communiqué and accordingly the shareholders of our Company will not be entitled any retirement right. The Expert Report, the Demerger Agreement, the Demerger Report and the amendment draft for articles of association are attached whereas a presentation on the transaction rationale and other explanations is available in our Company's website (www.aygaz.com.tr). Material developments regarding the transaction will be announced in due course.
