ISTANBUL, March 1, 2023 – Koç Holding and Stellantis N.V. today announced that they are confident at the prospects for further expansion of their existing Tofaş joint venture and enhancement of the potential of its operations in Türkiye through the efficient offer of best-in-class products and services to customers and partners.

Under a new strategic agreement entered into today, Tofaş will acquire the entire share capital of Stellantis Otomotiv Pazarlama A.S., the Stellantis Türkiye distribution company. As a result, all Stellantis brands available for distribution in Türkiye - Alfa Romeo, Fiat, Citroën, DS Automobiles, Jeep_®, Maserati, Opel and Peugeot - will be distributed by Tofaş.

To gather all the activities in Türkiye under one single entity supported by two strong shareholders will not only allow unprecedented synergies in commercial activities, production and R&D globally, but will also pave the way to offering broader and more efficient products and services to Turkish consumers. New business opportunities are also on the horizon for further improving the potential of Tofaş.

Koç Holding CEO Levent Çakıroğlu said, “We are resolved to continue to play our part in healing the wounds of Türkiye’s 6th February earthquake disaster as we try to recover from the pain caused by the event. As Koç Group, we have a strong commitment to invest in our country, believing that the new agreement will also help to overcome this difficult period. This strategic investment, combined with Tofaş’s production volume, export performance and R&D capabilities, is taking the company to new heights in the automotive industry. As the leading automotive company in Türkiye, Tofaş will further expand its goals and strengthen its credentials with this new investment. The agreement is yet another confirmation of the Koç Group's and our

partner's strong belief in our country at this difficult time. We will continue to do our best to increase the competitiveness of Türkiye in the automotive industry through the added value that will be generated.”

“Türkiye plays a critical role in Dare Forward 2030, our long-term strategic plan, as we push to achieve a leading market share in Middle East and Africa,” said Stellantis CEO Carlos Tavares. “Deepening our partnership with Koç will create synergies, increase value, and grow the market potential for the array of Stellantis brands across all segments. Being one of Türkiye’s leading industrial companies, our Tofaş joint venture is one of our key production and R&D hubs. In the current painful context that Türkiye is encountering, I would like to express my warm thanks to the teams who have been working on this deal as it will drive our leadership role beyond our 50-plus year history in a country that is demonstrating to the world its capacity to rebuild a sustainable future with hope and resilience.”

The agreement also outlines that:

• Stellantis will allocate the production of the “K0” model to Tofaş, in both mid-size light commercial vehicle and passenger car versions, planned for five brands with a target production launch from the beginning of 2025.
• The current Doblo production is planned to continue until the start of work on the production lines of the “K0” model in July 2023.
• Current Fiat Egea/Tipo project is extended until end of 2025.
  

The transaction, which will be subject to requisite regulatory approvals, including the approval of the relevant competition authorities, is expected to close in the second half of 2023.
