Istanbul, September 17, 2015
Announcement Regarding the Turkcell’s Rating Raise by S&P
Subject: Statement made pursuant to Communiqué II-15.1 of the Capital Markets Board
International rating agency Standard & Poor’s raised Turkcell’s long-term credit rating to investment grade level “BBB-” from “BB+” and stated outlook as “stable”.
The upgrade primarily reflects the improvement in Turkcell’s corporate governance, fully functioning and effective decision making structure of Board of Directors and clearly set long term financial policy targets. S&P believes Turkcell will maintain its leading position and profitability in the future due to its superior network quality, strong spectrum position and reach, as well as its established brand.
