The Transaction Agreements contemplate a series of transactions, which are summarized below, and as a result of which, immediately following completion (“Completion”), the direct and indirect ownership interests in Turkcell Holding and Turkcell will change as follows:

          Telia Finland, currently the holder of 47.09% of Turkcell Holding, and, through its ownership of Turkcell Holding shares, an indirect 24.02% interest in Turkcell, will divest of all of its interest in Turkcell Holding (and, therefore, Turkcell) (other than de minimis shares in Turkcell through its interest in Sonera) by selling its shares in Turkcell Holding to TVF BTIH.  The consideration for the sale and purchase of Telia Finland’s shares in Turkcell Holding will consist of a cash amount equal to the sum of (a) US$530,000,000 and (b) the product of (1) the number of calendar days from and excluding November 15, 2020 to and including the date of Completion, multiplied by (2) US$58,082 (the “Purchase Price”);

          Cukurova Telecom Holdings, currently the holder of 52.91% of Turkcell Holding, and, through its ownership of Turkcell Holding shares, an indirect 26.98% interest in Turkcell, will divest of all of its interest in Turkcell Holding (and, therefore, Turkcell) by selling its shares in Turkcell Holding to TVF BTIH.  The consideration for the sale and purchase of Cukurova Telecom Holdings’ shares in Turkcell Holding will consist of two loan notes that TVF BTIH will issue to Cukurova Telecom Holdings, and which Cukurova Telecom Holdings will distribute to its shareholders as follows:

o          Alfa Telecom Turkey, which owns 49% of the shares in Cukurova Telecom Holdings (and, therefore, an indirect 13.22% interest in Turkcell held through Cukurova Telecom Holdings and Turkcell

Holding) will receive Loan Note 1 (as defined below), representing that 13.22% indirect interest in Turkcell, which Alfa Telecom Turkey will direct Cukurova Telecom Holdings to assign to IMTIS Holdings; and

o          Ziraat, which, subject to an equity of redemption in favour of Cukurova Finance International, owns legal title to 51% of the shares in Cukurova Telecom Holdings (and, therefore, legal title to an indirect 13.76% interest in Turkcell held through Cukurova Telecom Holdings and Turkcell Holding), will receive Loan Note 2 (as defined below) on the instructions of Cukurova Finance International.

          Having acquired all shares in Turkcell Holding, TVF BTIH will merge Turkcell Holding with and into TVF BTIH, and Turkcell Holding will, as a result, cease to exist and hold any Shares in Turkcell.

          Following the merger of Turkcell Holding with and into TVF BTIH, TVF BTIH will sell to IMTIS Holdings a 24.8% direct interest in the issued and outstanding Shares of Turkcell in consideration for the assignment to TVF BTIH of Loan Note 1 (as previously assigned by Cukurova Telecom Holdings to IMTIS Holdings at the direction of Alfa Telecom Turkey) and Loan Note 3 (as defined below), representing an amount in cash paid into escrow for use by TVF BTIH, as more fully described below.  IMTIS Holdings may consider disposing of up to 5% of the total issued and outstanding Shares of Turkcell in the first year after Completion.

A copy of the TVF BTIH Merger Agreement is attached as Schedule 8 to the Framework Agreement.

The Transaction Agreements also provide:

          that, subject to approval by the Turkcell general meeting, the articles of association of Turkcell will be amended as described further below; and

Pursuant to the articles of association of Turkcell, approval of the AoA Amendments requires a meeting quorum of 2/3 of the total issued and outstanding share capital of Turkcell and the affirmative vote of 2/3 of those in attendance.

Privileges

Following the approval of the AoA Amendments by the Turkcell General Assembly, the Privileges will only become effective if the TH/TVF BTIH Merger is registered with the Istanbul Trade Registry and TVF BTIH, as the surviving entity from the TH/TVF BTIH Merger, acquires direct legal title to at least 25% of the total issued and outstanding Shares of Turkcell.

If any member of the board of directors of Turkcell appointed through the exercise of the Privileges ceases to be in office, a replacement director shall be selected by the board of directors of Turkcell pursuant to Article 363 of the Turkish Commercial Code from a list of candidates proposed unanimously by all residual members of the board of directors of Turkcell appointed through the exercise of the Privileges, or if a unanimous decision cannot be reached by such residual members of the board of directors of Turkcell, from a list of candidates proposed by a majority of such residual members of the board of directors of Turkcell appointed through the exercise of the Privileges.

The Group A Shares are freely transferrable by the holders thereof. However, the Privileges will automatically fall away if all of the Group A shares cease to be held by a single shareholder.

The same Privileges would apply to any new Group A Shares that may be issued by Turkcell from time to time, provided that the aggregate number of Group A Shares shall in no circumstances exceed 15% of the total number of Shares of Turkcell.

Any amendments to the articles of association of Turkcell affecting the Privileges would require the separate approval of the holders of the Group A Shares in accordance with applicable law.

A copy of the AoA Amendments is attached as Schedule 2 to the Framework Agreement.

Pursuant to the Total CTH TH Interest SPA, Cukurova Telecom Holdings has agreed to sell to TVF BTIH, and TVF BTIH has agreed to purchase, 241,428,330 ordinary shares cumulatively representing 52.91% of the issued and outstanding share capital of Turkcell Holding (the “Total CTH TH Interest”), on and subject to the terms set forth therein.

The obligations of each of Cukurova Telecom Holdings and TVF BTIH to proceed to completion of the sale and purchase of the Total CTH TH Interest pursuant to the Total CTH TH Interest SPA are conditional upon (i) the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions precedent to Completion in accordance with the Framework Agreement; and (ii) each of the warranties given under the Total CTH TH Interest SPA, disregarding all materiality qualifications, being true and correct in all material respects on and as of the date of completion.

Each of Cukurova Finance International and Alfa Telecom Turkey, severally but not jointly, has agreed to indemnify TVF BTIH for losses incurred or sustained which result from (a) any breach of any warranty given by the indemnifying party, or (b) the non-compliance with or non-performance of any obligation or covenant under the Total CTH TH Interest SPA, subject to monetary and other customary limitations. Subject always to the liability limitations under the Framework Agreement: (i) the maximum aggregate liability of Cukurova Telecom Holdings in respect of any and all claims under the Total CTH TH Interest SPA is limited to the US$ amount equal to the market value at the time the relevant claim has been accepted, settled or finally determined of 26.98% of the total issued and outstanding Shares of Turkcell; (ii) the maximum aggregate liability of Cukurova Finance International in respect of any and all claims under the Total CTH TH Interest SPA is limited to US$1,604,576,501.00; and (iii) the maximum aggregate liability of Alfa Telecom Turkey in respect of any and all claims under the Total CTH TH Interest SPA is limited to the US$ amount equal to the market value at the time the relevant claim has been accepted, settled or finally determined of 13.22% of the total issued and outstanding Shares of Turkcell, calculated in accordance with the Total CTH TH Interest SPA.

The Total CTH TH Interest SPA automatically terminates on termination of the Framework Agreement in accordance with its terms. On written notice to the other parties, TVF BTIH may terminate the Total CTH TH Interest SPA if the condition precedent relating to each of the warranties given under the Total CTH TH Interest SPA, disregarding all materiality qualifications, being true and correct in all material respects on and as of the date of completion has not been satisfied (or waived) immediately prior to completion.

Turkcell Interest SPA

Pursuant to the Turkcell Interest SPA, TVF BTIH has agreed to, following the TH/TVF BTIH Merger, sell to IMTIS Holdings, and IMTIS Holdings has agreed to purchase, 24.8% of the total issued and outstanding Shares of Turkcell (the “IMTIS Holdings Shares”), on and subject to the terms set forth therein.

At Completion, immediately following the TH/TVF BTIH Merger, the Escrow Agent shall release an amount in US$ that is equal to the sum of (a) US$333,556,415 and (b) the product of (i) the number of calendar days from and excluding November 15, 2020 to and including the date of Completion, multiplied by (ii) US$58,082 (the “Loan Note 3 Amount”), previously deposited in escrow by IMTIS Holdings for use by TVF BTIH, to Telia Finland


CUSIP No. 900111204
Schedule 13D/A
Page 24 of 29 Pages
     

(at the direction of TVF BTIH), in consideration for the issuance by TVF BTIH to IMTIS Holdings of a loan note in an amount equivalent to the Loan Note 3 Amount (“Loan Note 3”).

Concurrently with that step, TVF BTIH has agreed to sell to IMTIS Holdings the IMTIS Holdings Shares, in consideration for the assignment by IMTIS Holdings to TVF BTIH, of (i) Loan Note 3 and (ii) a loan note in a US$ amount that is equal to (a) the market value of the IMTIS Holdings Shares calculated in US$ by reference to the closing price of a share in Turkcell on the Istanbul Stock Exchange on the business day immediately prior to the date of Completion minus (b) the Loan Note 3 Amount (“Loan Note 1”), as previously assigned by Cukurova Telecom Holdings to IMTIS Holdings at the direction of Alfa Telecom Turkey.

The obligations of each of TVF BTIH and IMTIS Holdings to proceed to completion of the sale and purchase of the IMTIS Holdings Shares pursuant to the Turkcell Interest SPA are conditional upon the transfer of the Telia TH Interest to TVF BTIH in accordance with the Telia TH Interest SPA, the transfer of the Total CTH TH Interest to TVF BTIH in accordance with the Total CTH TH Interest SPA and the TH/TVF BTIH Merger having occurred in accordance with the Framework Agreement. Completion of the sale and purchase of the IMTIS Holdings Shares pursuant to the Turkcell Interest SPA will take place after this condition precedent has been satisfied or waived.

Under the Turkcell Interest SPA, among other things, TVF BTIH has given to IMTIS Holdings limited warranties and agreed to certain covenants in each case related to the IMTIS Holdings Shares. Additionally, the Turkcell Interest SPA includes certain provisions related to the settlement of claims under the Total CTH TH Interest SPA and the apportionment of monies received in respect of claims for breach of title warranties under the CTH SPA or the Telia SPA.

TVF BTIH has agreed to indemnify IMTIS Holdings for losses incurred or sustained which result from (a) any breach of any warranty given by TVF BTIH, or (b) the non-compliance with or non-performance of certain obligations or covenants under the Turkcell Interest SPA, subject to monetary and other customary limitations. Subject always to the liability limitations under the Framework Agreement, the maximum aggregate liability of TVF BTIH in respect of any and all claims under the Turkcell Interest SPA is limited to the US$ amount equal to the market value at the time the relevant claim has been accepted, settled or finally determined of 24.8% of the total issued and outstanding Shares of Turkcell.

The Turkcell Interest SPA will automatically terminate on the termination of the Framework Agreement in accordance with its terms.

Specifically, under the Global Settlement Deed, among other things:

          each party has irrevocably agreed that (i) until the earlier of Completion or the termination of the Global Settlement Deed in accordance with its terms (the “Forbearance Period”) and (ii) should Completion not occur, at any point thereafter, it will (and will procure that its affiliates will), forbear from exercising any right or remedy that such party (or its affiliates) would have as a result of the execution and / or performance by a party of the Transaction Agreements, the transactions contemplated thereby or any action in connection with or contemplated under the Transaction Agreements;

in any way, and the parties are causing certain documents to be filed with the relevant courts and arbitration tribunals to stay such proceedings; and

          within two (2) business days after the date of the Global Settlement Deed, Sonera will, and Telia Finland will procure that Sonera will, take such steps as are reasonably necessary to seek from the ECCA an order in substantially the same form as that at Schedule 1 of the Global Settlement Deed.

Upon Completion: (i) subject to the terms of the Global Settlement Deed, each party and their respective shareholders, partners, members, affiliates and representatives (the “Releasing Party”) will release and forever discharge such other parties and their respective shareholders, partners, members, affiliates and representatives (the “Released Parties”) from all rights that such Releasing Party ever had or may in the future claim to have against any of the Released Parties by reason of any act, failure to act, occurrence or event occurring or existing on or before Completion arising out of, in connection with or relating to the Released Claims (as defined in the Global Settlement Deed); (ii) each of the Shareholders Agreement (as defined, and further described, in the Statement) related to Cukurova Telecom Holdings, the Joint Venture Agreement (as defined, and further described, in the Statement) pertaining to, among other matters, the interests of the parties thereto in the Shares of Turkcell, the shareholders agreement between Telia Finland and Cukurova Holding, among others, related to Turkcell Holding dated October 21, 1999, and certain other agreements will be automatically terminated; and (iii) the parties intend for certain documents to be filed with the relevant courts and arbitration tribunals to cause the specified litigation and arbitration proceedings among the parties and their affiliates to terminate without any order as to costs.  Further, the Global Settlement Deed provides that from Completion each party is prohibited from engaging in any action or proceeding or initiating any regulatory, administrative or governmental complaint or any other action relating to the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreements, including any action by or on behalf of Turkcell.

Each party reserves in full, until Completion, all of its rights and remedies whether under any agreement that it is a party to or as a matter of law that it may have now or at any time in the future or which may now or at any time in the future become available to it. If Completion has not occurred by the end of the Forbearance Period, the suspensions, forbearance and undertakings set out in the Global Settlement Deed will cease with effect from the end of the Forbearance Period and as of the end of the Forbearance Period each party will have all rights and remedies as though the Global Settlement Deed had not been entered into, save for any rights or remedies arising as a result of the execution and / or performance by a party of the Transaction Agreements, the transactions contemplated thereby or any action in connection with or contemplated under the Transaction Agreements.

Each Party acknowledges and agrees that Ziraat is not precluded from exercising any rights or remedies it has or may have at any time during the Forbearance Period under the Facility Documents (as defined in the Global Settlement Deed), including the enforcement of security in the manners permitted by the Facility Documents and the Global Settlement Deed with the effects contemplated thereunder.

21.4
Any waiver of any right or default hereunder shall be effective only in the instance given and will not operate as or imply a waiver of any other or similar right or default on any subsequent occasion.
21.5

22.

This Deed may be executed in counterparts, and by the Parties on separate counterparts, but shall not be effective until each Party has executed at least one counterpart.  Each counterpart shall constitute an original of this Deed, but the counterparts shall together constitute one and the same instrument.

23.1
Each of the Parties confirms that the content of this Deed and the other Transaction Agreements as expressly set forth herein and therein, represents the entire understanding, and constitutes the whole agreement, in relation to its subject matter and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and supersedes all previous agreements, understandings or arrangements (whether express, implied, oral or written (whether or not in draft form)) between the Parties with respect thereto which shall cease to have any further force or effect notwithstanding the existence of any provision of any such prior agreement or understanding that any such rights or provisions shall

24.
Invalidity
If at any time any provision of this Deed shall be held to be illegal, void, invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part under any enactment or rule of law in any jurisdiction, then:

(a)
such provision shall:

(i)
to the extent that it is illegal, void, invalid or unenforceable be given no effect and shall be deemed not to be included in this Deed; and

(ii)
not affect or impair the legality, validity or enforceability in that jurisdiction of any other provision of this Deed or the legality, validity or enforceability under the law of any other jurisdiction of such provision or any other provision of this Deed; and

(b)
each Party shall use its best endeavours to replace such a provision with a valid and enforceable substitute provision which carries out, as closely as possible, the intentions of the Parties under this Deed.

(a)
Purchaser shall be entitled to take any action provided by Applicable Law (including, without limitation, seeking interim relief) it deems appropriate in order to protect and preserve its rights in respect of any amount of the value of any such Claim; and/or

(b)
if, at the end of any applicable time period provided for in clause 7 of the Turkcell Interest SPA, Purchaser has not received the full value of the relevant Claim which ATT and/or IMTIS Holdings are required to satisfy, Purchaser is entitled to take any and all actions it chooses to, and commence any proceedings it chooses to, for the recovery of any residual amount of the value of any such Claim.

(b)
Subject to Clause 7.4(c) and Clause 7.4(e) below, the Parties agree that:

(i)
following any CTH SPA Claim for breach of a TI Share Title Warranty:

(1)
ATT shall be liable to pay to TVF BTIH an amount equivalent to ATT’s TH Share of the CTH SPA Claim Value in accordance with the Total CTH TH Interest SPA and Clause 7.2 (the “ATT Indemnity Amount”);

(2)
TVF BTIH shall be liable to transfer to Purchaser an amount equal to 49% of the ATT Indemnity Amount provided that the aggregate amount of any and all such transfers will be capped at 49% of the ATT Liability Cap; and

(2)
Telia Finland, promptly and, in any event, by the later of (a) ten (10) Business Days of Purchaser notifying TVF BTIH of its relevant account details for a payment in cash and (b) ten (10) Business Days of receipt of such TH SPA Indemnity Payment, TVF BTIH shall transfer to Purchaser an amount equal to 49% of such TH SPA Indemnity Payment received from Telia Finland (“L1’s CFI Indemnity Amount” and, together with L1’s CFI Indemnity Amount, “L1’s Telia/CFI Indemnity Amount”); and

(iii)
if ATT fails or is yet to meet its payment obligations to TVF BTIH under Clause 7.4(b)(i), the amount of any L1’s Telia/CFI Indemnity Amount shall first be utilised by TVF BTIH in full satisfaction of any outstanding amount for which ATT is liable under Clause 7.4(b)(i), with the excess of such L1’s Telia/CFI Indemnity Amount (if any) paid to Purchaser in accordance with Clause 7.4(b)(ii).

(c)

(e)
To the extent that, at the relevant time a transfer is required to be made by TVF BTIH to Purchaser under Clause 7.4(b)(i)(2), ATT has yet to discharge in full any CTH SPA Claim in accordance with the Total CTH TH Interest SPA or, where relevant, its obligations under Clause 7.1 or Clause 7.2, the Parties agree that TVF BTIH is entitled to set off any such outstanding liability against its obligation to transfer to Purchaser under Clause 7.4(b)(i)(2).

10


the breach not occurred, together with (i) all documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including legal fees, experts’ fees and consultants’ fees) reasonably and properly incurred by Purchaser directly arising out of or resulting from the breach; and (ii) such sum as is necessary to ensure that after the deduction of any Tax due on any amount payable under this Clause 8.2(a) (whether by way of direct assessment or withholding at its source) and after taking into account any Relief available to Purchaser in respect of the matter in respect of which the payment is made, Purchaser is left with the same amount it would have had if the payment was not subject to Tax.
(b)
The Purchaser’s sole remedy in respect of any Claim for breach of a Warranty is a claim under the indemnity in this Clause 8.2.

(a)
in respect of any Claim by Purchaser against TVF BTIH, subject to clause 13.2.8 of the Framework Agreement, to the extent the aggregate amount of liability of TVF BTIH for any and all such Claims would exceed the market value of 24.8% of the total issued share capital of Turkcell, from time to time, calculated in U.S. Dollars at the Reference Exchange Rate on the date of calculation by reference to the closing price of a share in Turkcell on the Istanbul Stock Exchange on the date of acceptance, settlement or final determination of the relevant claim (the “Liability Cap”); and

(b)
subject to Clause 9.1(a), unless the aggregate amount of all Claims is equal to or greater than 1% of the Liability Cap, in which case TVF BTIH shall be liable for the aggregate amount of all Claims and not just the excess.
9.2
No Party shall have any liability under this Agreement:

(a)
in respect of any Claim unless written notice of such Claim is given by the claimant party (the “Claimant Party”), to the respondent party (the “Respondent Party”) setting out reasonably specific details of the matter in respect of which such Claim is made including, where reasonably practicable, an estimate as to the amount of such Claim:

(i)
for any Claim for breach of a Warranty, on or before the date of expiry of the relevant statute of limitations in England; or

(ii)
for all other Claims, on or before the date falling six (6) months after the Completion Date,

(b)
provided that any Claim shall (if it has not been previously satisfied, settled or withdrawn) be deemed to have been withdrawn six (6) months after written notice of such Claim is given pursuant to this Clause 9.2(b) except where any Claim relates to a contingent liability in which case it shall be deemed to have been withdrawn six (6) months after its becomes an actual liability unless, in each case, legal proceedings in respect of it have commenced by being both issued and served. No new Claim may be made in respect of the facts, matters, events or circumstances giving rise to any such withdrawn Claim;

(c)
in respect of any Claim to the extent that such Claim would not have arisen but for the adoption of any new, or a change in any Applicable Law or a change in the interpretation or implementation thereof by any Governmental Entity, or any amendment to or the withdrawal of any practice previously published by or any
11


extra-statutory concession previously made by a Governmental Entity (whether or not the change purports to be effective retrospectively in whole or in part), in each case that was neither announced nor in force as at the date of this Agreement;

(d)
in respect of any Claim that would not have arisen but for any action taken and/or any transaction undertaken, in each case, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Transaction Agreements (including the TH/TVF BTIH Merger);

(e)
in respect of any Claim the circumstances of which Purchaser is aware at the date of this Agreement where the knowledge of the Purchaser shall be deemed to be the knowledge of ATT as provided for in clause 1.3(c) (excluding clause 1.3(c)(iii)) of the Total CTH TH Interest SPA; or

(f)
in respect of any punitive, special, indirect or consequential losses including loss of production, loss of profit, loss of contract or loss of goodwill.
9.3
If:

(a)
the Respondent Party makes a payment (excluding any interest on a late payment) in respect of a Claim (a “Relevant Payment”);

(b)
the Claimant Party receives any sum which would not have been received but for the circumstance which gave rise to that Claim (a “Third Party Sum”);

(c)
the receipt of the Third Party Sum was not taken into account in calculating the Relevant Payment; and

(d)
the aggregate of the Third Party Sum and the Relevant Payment exceeds the amount required to compensate the Claimant Party in full for the loss or liability which gave rise to the Claim in question, such excess being the “Excess Recovery”,
then the Claimant Party shall repay to the Respondent Party promptly, on receipt of such Third Party Sum, an amount equal to the lower of (i) the Excess Recovery; and (ii) the Relevant Payment, after deducting (in either case) all costs and expenses incurred by the Claimant Party in recovering the Third Party Sum and any Tax attributable to or suffered in respect of such receipt.
9.4
Each Party shall take, and cause its Affiliates to take, reasonable steps to mitigate any liabilities, including reasonable attorneys' fees, associated with a Claim upon becoming aware of any event or circumstance that would be reasonably expected to, or does, give rise thereto, including incurring costs only to the minimum extent necessary to minimise the relevant losses incurred in relation to the subject matter of the Claim, provided that, in all cases and from time to time, no Party shall be required to take any action (or refrain from taking any action) in mitigation to the extent that such action (or inaction as the case may be) may preclude such Party from initiating or conducting any Claim (or potential Claim) pursuant to this Agreement or any claim (or potential claim) against any party pursuant to any other Transaction Agreement.
9.5
Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that, except as expressly provided in any Warranty, TVF BTIH does not give or make any warranty, covenant or representation as to any aspect of Turkcell.
9.6
If any Claim is based upon a liability which is contingent only, the Respondent Party shall not be liable to make any payment unless and until such contingent liability gives rise to an
12


actual liability (but the Claimant Party has the right under Clause 9.1 to give written notice of that Claim before such time).
9.7
TVF BTIH shall not be liable for any Claim to the extent that it would not have arisen but for any voluntary act, omission or transaction carried out before Completion by TVF BTIH, CTH or Turkcell Holding at the written direction or request of Purchaser, ATT or any of their respective Affiliates.
9.8
The limitations of liability contained in this Clause 9 or otherwise in this Agreement shall not apply to any liability for any Claim to the extent that the same is attributable to fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation on the part of TVF BTIH, ATT or Purchaser, as the case may be.
10.

13


12.5
Payment of a sum in accordance with this Clause 12 shall constitute a payment in full of the sum payable and shall be a good discharge to the payor (and those on whose behalf such payment is made) of the payor’s obligation to make such payment and the payor (and those on whose behalf such payment is made) shall not be obliged to see to the application of the payment as between those on whose behalf the payment is received.

14.2

For the purposes of delivery of Safekept Documents by the Escrow Agent pursuant to Clause 5.2, each of Telia Finland, CTH, Turkcell Holding, ATTL, TVF BTIH and IMTIS Holdings confirms that it has authorised each of the natural persons listed opposite its name in Schedule 11 (Persons listed for the purposes of Clause 4.2, Clause 5.8 and Clause 16.4(e)) to receive on such Escrow Party's behalf from the Escrow Agent the Safekept Documents which the Escrow Agent is obliged to deliver to such Escrow Party in accordance with Clause 5.2, and agrees that delivery of such Safekept Documents by the Escrow Agent to one of those listed persons for the benefit of such Escrow Party shall constitute delivery to such Escrow Party for the purpose of such clause.
5.9
Each Escrow Party acknowledges and agrees that, at any meeting of shareholders of Turkcell which occurs during the term of this Agreement, any voting rights arising in respect of Turkcell Shares at that time credited to the Turkcell Holding Custody Account shall not be exercised by the Escrow Agent (or any third party appointed by the Escrow Agent) but shall be exercised by Turkcell Holding in accordance with Applicable Law and the terms of the Framework Agreement. The Escrow Agent shall have no obligation to, and shall not, take any action to exercise or procure the exercise of any voting rights which may arise in respect of any such Turkcell Shares at such a meeting, but the Escrow Agent shall use reasonable endeavours to provide to Turkcell Holding such documents and information as Turkcell Holding may reasonably request to enable Turkcell Holding to attend such meeting and exercise in full the voting rights arising in respect of such Turkcell Shares.

SAFEKEEPING
6.1
Under the Safekeeping Arrangements, the Escrow Agent shall provide safekeeping services to each of the Escrow Parties identified in Schedule 7 (Safekept Documents). The Escrow Agent confirms that it has in place customary insurance arrangements for a reasonably prudent financial institution providing safekeeping services. Each Safekept Document identified in Schedule 7 (Safekept Documents) will be held by the Escrow Agent for the corresponding Escrow Party identified in Schedule 7 (Safekept Documents). The records of the Safekept Documents maintained by the Escrow Agent will indicate that the Safekept Documents do not belong to the Escrow Agent and are segregated from the Escrow Agent’s assets.  The Escrow Agent is not acting under this Agreement as an investment manager, trustee, nor as an investment, legal or tax adviser to any Escrow Party for which it holds Safekept Documents, and the Escrow Agent’s duty in respect of the Safekept Documents is solely to safekeep the Safekept Documents in accordance with the applicable terms of this Agreement.
6.2
Each of the Escrow Parties authorises the Escrow Agent to do all such things as may be reasonably necessary to perform its obligations under this Agreement without any instructions from any Escrow Party (except where Instructions are required under this Agreement), including without limitation signing any documentation specifically required under Applicable Law. Unless relevant terms and procedures have been separately agreed between the Escrow Agent and an Escrow Party for whom the Escrow Agent holds Safekept Documents, the Escrow Agent shall have no obligation to, and shall not, procure the exercise of any rights (whether voting rights, corporation action rights or otherwise) arising in connection with such Escrow Party’s Safekept Documents.
6.3
Each Escrow Party for whom the Escrow Agent holds Safekept Documents shall be solely responsible, in respect of itself, for all filings, tax returns and reports on any transactions in respect
- 18 -


of any of its Safekept Documents or otherwise relating to any of its Safekept Documents as may be required by any relevant authority, governmental or otherwise.
7.
ESCROW AGENT
7.1
To induce the Escrow Agent to act hereunder, it is further agreed by each Escrow Party that:
(a)
the Escrow Agent shall not be under any duty to give the Cash Amount or Custody Cash any greater degree of care than it gives to amounts held for its general banking customers;
(b)
none of the Cash Accounts or the Custody Cash Account may go into overdraft, and neither the Escrow Agent nor any of its officers, employees or agents shall be required to make any payment or distribution to the extent that the Cash Amount or Custody Cash is insufficient and shall incur no liability whatsoever from any non-payment or non-distribution in such circumstances;
(c)
the Escrow Parties unconditionally agree to the use of any form of telephonic or electronic monitoring or recording by the Escrow Agent according to the Escrow Agent’s standard operating procedures or as the Escrow Agent, acting reasonably, deems appropriate for security and service purposes, and that such recording may be produced as evidence in any proceedings brought in connection with this Agreement;
(d)           (i)           neither the Escrow Agent nor any of its officers, employees or agents shall be liable to any person or entity including but not limited to the Escrow Parties for any loss, liability, claim, debts, action, damages or expenses arising out of or in connection with its performance of or its failure to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement (other than the Custody Terms) save as are caused by its own gross negligence, wilful default or fraud;
(ii)
the Escrow Agent shall not be responsible for any loss or damage, or failure to comply or delay in complying with any duty or obligation under or pursuant to this Agreement arising as a result of any Force Majeure Event or any event where, in the opinion of the Escrow Agent, acting reasonably, performance of any duty or obligation under or pursuant to this Agreement would or may result in the Escrow Agent being in breach of Applicable Law or any Judgment, or practice, request, direction, notice, announcement or similar action of any relevant Authority, stock exchange or self-regulatory organisation to which the Escrow Agent is subject (including, without limitation, those of: (i) the European Union; (ii) the United States of America or any jurisdiction forming a part of it; (iii) the Republic of Turkey; (iv) England and Wales; and (v) the British Virgin Islands) and the Escrow Agent may without liability do anything which is, in its opinion, acting reasonably, necessary to comply with any such law, rule or regulation;
(iii)
in the case of a Force Majeure Event or other event contemplated by Clause 7.1(d)(ii), the obligations of the Escrow Agent will be suspended for so long as the Force Majeure Event or other event as aforesaid continues (and neither it nor any member of the Citi Organisation shall become liable for any loss or damage arising out of, or any consequence of, such suspension). The Escrow Parties agree that neither the Escrow Agent nor any member of the Citi Organisation is responsible or liable for any action taken to comply with sanctions or government requirements. Upon the occurrence of any Force Majeure Event, to the extent allowed by applicable law, the Escrow Agent shall use its reasonable efforts to minimise the effect of the Force Majeure Event on the Escrow Parties. The Escrow Agent confirms that it maintains and regularly tests disaster recovery plans and
- 19 -


contingency back-up services which meet the standards to be expected of an internationally regulated financial institution; and
(iv)
the Escrow Agent shall be under no obligation to monitor the potential future impact on its obligations hereunder of any actual or potential Force Majeure Event.  Without prejudice to the preceding sentence:
(A)
if the Escrow Agent (in its capacity as such) has identified such a potential future impact; or
(B)
if any Escrow Party has, acting reasonably, by notice to the Escrow Agent requested the Escrow Agent to confirm if it has identified such a potential future impact,
then the Escrow Agent shall, to the extent allowed by applicable law, promptly notify the Escrow Parties if, as applicable: (i)  it believes, acting in good faith, that it will, or expects that it will, be unable to comply in full with any of its material obligations under this Agreement for reasons related to the actual or potential Force Majeure Event (whether related to the COVID-19 virus or any other Force Majeure Event) (and, having provided such notification, shall notify the Escrow Parties of any material change to the circumstances which gave rise to such notification); or (ii) that it has not identified such a potential future impact; and
(v)
notwithstanding the foregoing, under no circumstances will the Escrow Agent be liable to any Party or any other person for any indirect, incidental, or consequential loss or damage (being, inter alia, loss of business, goodwill, opportunity or profit) even if advised of such loss or damage;
(e)
without prejudice to Clause 7.1(f), the Escrow Agent shall not be obliged to make any payment or otherwise to act on any Instruction notified to it under this Agreement if it is unable:
(i)
to verify any signature pursuant to any request or Instruction against the specimen signature provided for the Relevant Authorised Representative(s) hereunder; or
(ii)
to validate the authenticity of the request by telephoning a Call-back Contact who has not executed the relevant request or Instruction as an Authorised Representative of the relevant Party;
(f)
subject to Clause 7.1(g), the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any Judgment, award, certification, demand, notice, or other written instrument (including any Instruction or any requirement and/or request for information delivered by a person or Authority referred to in Clause 7.4) delivered to it hereunder without being required to determine its authenticity or the correctness of any fact stated therein or the validity of the service thereof. The Escrow Agent may act in reliance upon any instrument or signature believed by it to be genuine and may assume that any person purporting to give receipt or advice or make any statement or execute any document in connection with the provisions hereof has been duly authorised to do so;
(g)
the Escrow Parties acknowledge that:
(i)
the Escrow Agent is authorised to rely conclusively upon any Instruction received by any means agreed hereunder or otherwise agreed by all Parties if it believes in
- 20 -


good faith that such Instruction has been executed in compliance with the requirements of this Agreement; and
(ii)
notwithstanding any other provision hereof, the Escrow Agent shall have the right to refuse to act on any Instruction where, acting reasonably, it doubts its contents, authorisation, origination or compliance with this Agreement and will promptly notify the Escrow Parties of its decision;

the Escrow Agent may consult lawyers (or other appropriate professional advisers) in connection with this Agreement and hereby agrees to disclose, where legally permissible, a summary of the advice on which it intends to rely to the Escrow Parties upon request.

(j)
in the event of:
(i)
adverse or conflicting claims, demands or Instructions being made, threatened or given in connection with the Escrow Property; or
(ii)
the Escrow Agent in good faith concluding that its duties hereunder are unclear in a material respect,
the Escrow Agent shall be entitled, in its sole discretion, to refuse to comply with any claims, demands or Instructions with respect to the Escrow Property either;
(a)
for so long as such adverse or conflicting claims, demands or Instructions continue; or
(b)
until the Escrow Agent’s duties have been clarified to the satisfaction of the Escrow Agent (acting reasonably),
and the Escrow Agent shall not be or become liable in any way to an Escrow Party for failure or refusal to comply with such claims, demands or Instructions and the Escrow Agent shall be entitled: (i) to refuse to act; and (ii) to retain the Escrow Property until required to release it in accordance with Clause 5.2(c).

The Escrow Agent shall not under any circumstances be required to insure any Safekept Documents being so delivered and the risk of any loss or destruction of such Safekept Documents shall be borne by the Escrow Party to whom such Safekept Documents are to be delivered.
7.3
The Escrow Agent shall not be responsible for the legality, validity, binding nature or enforceability of any Safekept Documents or any other document delivered to it pursuant to and in accordance with this Agreement and shall have no liability to any person if any such Safekept Documents or other such document is not legal, valid, binding or enforceable.

5.1.2
The Custodian may, but is not obliged to, credit Cash to the Custody Cash Account before a corresponding and final receipt in cleared funds. The Client acknowledges that the Custodian may at any time before final receipt, or if a Clearance System at any time reverses an applicable credit to the Custodian, reverse all or any part of a credit of Cash to the Client and make an appropriate entry to its records including restatement of the Custody Cash Account and reversing any interest paid.

5.1.6
If the Custodian has received Instructions (or is authorised under this Agreement to make any delivery or payment without an Instruction) that would result in the delivery of a Security or payment of Cash in any currency exceeding credits to the Client for that Security or Cash, the Custodian may in its discretion, subject to acting consistently with the standard of care in this Agreement: (i) make partial deliveries or payments consistent with market practice; (ii) fulfil a subsequently received Instruction to the extent of then available Securities or Cash held for the Client; or (iii) suspend or delay acting on any Instruction until it receives the required Securities or Cash.  The Custodian shall notify the Client if the Custodian does not act on any Instruction because the Client has insufficient Securities or Cash.
5.1.7
Notwithstanding termination of the Agreement, these Custody Terms or any Instruction, the Custodian may retain such amount of Securities or Cash as is necessary to close out or complete
- 41 -


any: (i) Instruction received by the Custodian in accordance with the terms of the Agreement and not revoked; or (ii) other transaction which the Custodian was required or expressly permitted to effect in accordance with the terms of the Agreement (including the Custody Terms) or pursuant to Applicable Law, in each case prior to the date of termination of the Agreement but which has not been settled, closed out or completed as of the date of termination of the Agreement.
5.1.8
The Client will not enforce any payment obligation of the Custodian at or against another branch or affiliate of the Custodian. The Custodian is obliged to pay Cash only in the currency in which the applicable payment obligation is denominated and only in the country in which such Cash is used in connection with Securities received, held or delivered or other services under this Agreement are provided in that country, regardless of whether that currency’s transferability, convertibility or availability has been affected by any law, regulation, decree rule or other governmental or regulatory action.

8.3
Notices and Actions Related to Securities.
8.3.1
The Custodian shall promptly notify the Client of all official notices, circulars, reports and announcements (both mandatory and discretionary) in respect of Securities held for the Client received in its capacity as Custodian. With regard to events requiring discretionary action, the Custodian shall advise the Client of the applicable timeframe for taking any action elected by the Client. For the avoidance of doubt the Custodian’s notice obligation does not include notices, circulars, reports and announcements in regard to a class action.
8.3.2
The Custodian will be responsible only for the form, accuracy and content of any notice, circular, report, announcement or other material prepared by the Custodian or its Agent. The Custodian will not be responsible for errors or omissions in notices or information prepared by other persons, including issuers or Clearance Systems, used by the Custodian to provide any notice to the Client or forwarded by the Custodian to the Client.
8.3.3

8.4

Information and proof may include executed certificates, representations and warranties, or other
- 44 -


documentation the Custodian deems necessary or proper to fulfil the requirements of applicable tax authorities.  The Client shall notify the Custodian in writing of any change that affects the Client’s tax status pursuant to any applicable law or regulation, legal, governmental or regulatory authority, or agreement entered into between any two or more governmental authorities (law, regulation and authority, as used in this sentence, may be domestic or foreign), and the Client shall provide the notice within thirty (30) days of that change or any lesser period as stipulated under any applicable law or regulation.
8.4.2
Taxes are the responsibility of the Client and the Client agrees that Taxes shall be paid by the Client. The Custodian will deduct or withhold for or on account of Taxes from any payment to the Client if required by any applicable law including, but not limited to: (i) statute or regulation; (ii) a requirement of any legal, governmental or regulatory authority; or (iii) an agreement entered into by the Custodian and any governmental authority or between any two or more governmental authorities (applicable law as used in this sentence may be domestic or foreign).  The Client acknowledges that the Custodian may debit any amount available in any balance held for the Client and apply such Cash in satisfaction of Taxes. The Custodian will timely pay the full amount debited or withheld to the relevant governmental authority in accordance with the applicable law as provided in this Clause.  If any Taxes become payable with respect to any prior credit to the Client by the Custodian, the Client acknowledges that the Custodian may debit any balance held for the Client in satisfaction of such prior Taxes.  The Client shall remain liable for any deficiency and agrees that it shall pay it upon notice from the Custodian or any governmental authority.  If Taxes are paid by the Custodian or any of its affiliates, the Client agrees that it shall promptly reimburse the Custodian for such payment to the extent not covered by withholding from any payment or debited from any balance held for the Client.
8.4.3
In the event the Client requests that the Custodian provide tax relief services and the Custodian agrees to provide such services, the Custodian will apply for appropriate tax relief (either by way of reduced tax rates at the time of an income payment or retrospective tax reclaims in certain markets as agreed from time to time); provided that the Client provides to the Custodian such documentation and information relating to it or its underlying beneficial owner customers as is necessary to secure such tax relief. However, in no event will the Custodian be responsible, or liable, for any Taxes resulting from the inability to secure tax relief, or for the failure of any Client or beneficial owner to obtain the benefit of credits, on the basis of foreign taxes withheld, against any income tax liability.
8.4.4
For the avoidance of doubt, if Taxes are deducted or withheld (by any person or entity) from any payment which is received by the Custodian for the Client in relation to Securities held for the Client by the Custodian, the Custodian shall only be required to pay or credit to the Client the amount actually received and retained by the Custodian in respect of that payment.

MULTI-PARTY AGREEMENT TO RESTRUCTURE AND IMPROVE TURKCELL OWNERSHIP

L1 has entered into a series of agreements, with a number of parties with direct and indirect ownership interests in Turkcell, to restructure ownership of the Company and put an end to many years of shareholder disagreements.

Turkey is an attractive and large telecom and digital market underpinned by growing and young population that is demanding ever more bandwidth and digital services especially in a post Covid world. Turkcell, as the Turkey’s leading telecom and digital operator, is well positioned to capitalise on this demand.

This transaction will provide greater stability, more transparency and a simpler ownership structure to enable Turkcell to fulfil its growth ambitions and be better able to create value for all investors.

As part of the multi-party agreements:


Turkey Wealth Fund has agreed to acquire 26.2% of shares in Turkcell and take control of the Board.


L1 has agreed to unwind its holding in Cukurova Telecom Holdings, and invest in Turkcell, by acquiring the economic interest in a 24.8% stake in Turkcell.


L1 will not have any special rights to representation on the Turkcell Board.


The Turkcell Holding joint venture will be effectively unwound. Telia and Cukurova will exit their respective holdings.


Existing Turkcell Holding shareholders have agreed to support the FY19 dividend distribution decision of 50% of Net Income (or 25%, in case the dividend restrictions introduced in connection with Covid still apply at the time of the vote). New shareholders intend to support Turkcell existing dividend policy going forward.


The transaction also includes a full and global settlement of all shareholder disputes and litigation between all parties, who have agreed to this restructuring, with direct and indirect ownership interests in Turkcell and Turkcell Holding.

Commenting on the restructuring Alexander Pertsovsky, Managing Partner L1 Technology said

“Turkcell is a great company in a young growing market. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to restructure Turkcell ownership and the only solution capable of bringing all the parties together to end this long-term shareholder dispute and enable Turkcell to realise its full potential.”

Completion of the transactions in the multi-party agreements will be subject to obtaining the legal, regulatory and governmental approvals and other customary conditions as well as approval by Turkcell’s Annual General Meeting of certain changes to Turkcell’s articles of association and is expected to close in 2H 2020.
