DECISION OF ISTANBUL 6TH CIVIL COURT OF FIRST INSTANCE/THE SHORT NAME OF THE FOUNDATION, ELECTION OF MEMBERS FOR THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES, OFFICE TERM AND REMUNERATION

Date: 26/06/2008

The Board of Trustees of Hacı Omer Sabancı Foundation instituted an action, demanding that it was resolved under the resolution adopted on 28th of August 2007 under no 2007/06 to amend Articles 1, 8, 9, 10 and 18 of the Foundation Charter and Bylaws and therefore the “Amendment to the Foundation Charter and Bylaws” notarized by Besiktas 16th Notary Public on 28th of September 2007 be approved and registered.. The Court decided that the amendment that the Foundation wishes to make to Article 1 of the Charter and Bylaws for the shortened version of the Foundation’s name was not a material change, and reached the opinion that Articles 8, 9, 10 and 18 of the Charter and Bylaws concern the organization, management and functioning of the Foundation, and ultimately examined the existence of just causes. The Court has understood the underlying reason for the potential amendment to Article 8 concerning the election of the members to the Board of Trustees; in this context, the Foundation aims a faster composition of the Foundation’s management. The amendment that the Foundation wishes to do to Article 9, which governs the office term of the Board members, tries decrease that office term to 3 years from 6 years, and this amendment was found a justified one as it will facilitate and infuse some kind of dynamism to the management and audit. The fact that the Foundation’s intention to amend Article 10 aims at increasing the office term of the Board’s Chairman from 2 years to 3 years is to match and align the office terms of the members with that of the Chairman. This amendment is also found to be a justified one as it targets creating synergy and harmony. Likewise, the amendment that the Foundation wishes to make to Article 18 aims at paying no remuneration to the Board members, and this is also deemed a justifiable wish, which shall operate to the benefit of the Foundation.

For these reasons above, it was concluded that amendments to Articles 1, 8, 9, 10 and 18 of the Charter and Bylaws of Hacı Omer Sabancı Foundation by means of an “Articles of Amendment” notarized by Besiktas 16th Notary Public on 28/09/2007 under the reference no 167909 be registered.
