Explanations
Our wholly owned subsidiary Avea İletişim Hizmetleri A.Ş. ("Avea") received two different reports based on the audit held by Treasury Controllers Board for the years 2012 and 2013. According to the notification, Avea is alleged to have underpaid Treasury Share by TL 117,364,691.58 related to 2G services and TL 66,697,190.80 related to 3G services (for periods including 2009, 2010 and 2011 as well). In addition to the principal amounts, interest payment is also demanded to be calculated in accordance with the relevant regulations.
