Extension of Early Bird Deadline and Update Regarding Discussions with the Ad Hoc Group

Port Finance Investment Limited (the "Scheme Company"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Global Liman İşletmeleri A.S. (the "Issuer"), announces today that, in connection with the scheme of arrangement relating to the refinancing of the Notes (the "Scheme") previously announced by the Issuer on 7 January 2021 and in respect of which the Practice Statement Letter was distributed on 19 January 2021 and the explanatory statement relating to the Scheme (the "Explanatory Statement") was distributed on 18 February 2021, it has elected to further extend the Early Bird Deadline from 5:00 p.m. (London time) on 19 March 2021 to 5:00 p.m. (London time) on 14 April 2021. All references to the Early Bird Deadline in the Explanatory Statement, the Scheme Creditor Letter and the other applicable Refinancing Documents should be construed accordingly.

If the Scheme Company elects in its sole discretion to further extend the Early Bird Deadline, it will notify the Scheme Creditors by issuing a notice to Scheme Creditors through the Clearing Systems and making it available on the Scheme Website.

The Scheme Company remains in ongoing discussions with the ad hoc group of Existing Noteholders described in the Explanatory Statement (the "Ad Hoc Group") and continues to believe that these discussions are likely to result in amendments to the terms of the proposed Refinancing . As a result, the Scheme Company has decided to extend the Early Bird Deadline and the other dates originally contemplated in the Explanatory Statement (including, but not limited to, the Custody Instructions Deadline, the Scheme Creditor Letter Deadline, the Scheme Meeting and the Scheme Sanction Hearing).

It is anticipated that the revised timetable will be broadly as follows:

22 April 2021: Custody Instructions Deadline

23 April 2021: Scheme Creditor Letter deadline

No later than 28 April 2021: Scheme Meeting

4 May 2021: Sanction Hearing

As soon as possible after 4 May 2021: closing of Refinancing

Any amendments which are made to the terms of the Refinancing as a result of the discussions with the Ad Hoc Group will apply to all claims of all Existing Noteholders in relation to the Notes equally and will be notified to Scheme Creditors together with any amendments to the timetable in accordance with the procedures set out in the Explanatory Statement.

Capitalised terms used and not defined herein shall have the meanings set out in the Explanatory Statement.

i2 Capital Markets Ltd acts as Information Agent in connection with the Scheme (including the Cash Option). Scheme Creditors with questions regarding the Scheme or the Scheme Meeting should contact:
