TEMSA İŞ MAKİNALARI İMALAT PAZARLAMA VE SATİŞ A.Ş. (“TIM”), the sole distributor

the parent company of TG and one of the largest Turkish conglomerates, in order to further
strengthen the sales and service activity of TIM, and the two parties have agreed to enter
into a partnership with Sabancı to acquire the aforementioned shares.
Marubeni, which is participating in the construction machinery market in the U.K.,
Philippines, Vietnam, Russia, and Mexico, will expand the business of TIM, integrating the
Company’s specific know-how and Sabancı’s high creditability.
