-- Corporate Governance Committee: H. Cem Karaka?, Ahmet F. Ashabo?lu and
Tolga Babali.
The distribution of duties, including chairmanship, will be decided subsequently by each of the committees.
The Company's Board of Directors has determined that Messrs. Bayazit, Ashabo?lu and Karaka?, and, as a result, all of the members of the Audit Committee, are independent directors who satisfy the "independence" requirements set forth in Rule 10A-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Nasdaq's listing rules.
The new members of our Audit Committee meet the requirements for financial literacy under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Nasdaq's listing rules.
