Stating that they resolutely continue their growth strategy with the strength they draw from Kazanci Holding's history and experience spanning more than half a century, Aksa Natural Gas Chairman of the Board Yasar Arslan emphasized that with the incorporation of AGDAS, the Company has entered a new phase in terms of scale, coverage area, and operational depth. Arslan said, "As of today, we safely deliver natural gas to 8.3 million subscribers in 30 provinces and 367 districts and towns. Our network, which has reached 72 thousand 500 kilometers, has attained a size that could circle the world approximately twice. Our priority is to sustain a management approach that manages infrastructure safety, efficiency, and customer satisfaction in an integrated manner and that is based on sustainable value creation. With our long-term investment perspective, strong governance structure, and sustainability approach, we will continue to add lasting value to Turkey's energy infrastructure."

Operating in 24 of Turkey's 73 license regions nationwide, Aksa Natural Gas will with this step continue the responsibility it has assumed in natural gas distribution across a wider geography and within a larger operational structure. The Company will continue to position customer satisfaction-focused, safe, and uninterrupted natural gas supply as its fundamental approach in its expanding field of activity as well.
