NET HOLDING MASTER PLAN

Background & Status of the Company : The theme is “Transform and Improve Transparency” ✓ Net Holding was established in 1974 by a group of tourist guides. ✓ Listed in Istanbul Stock Exchange since 1989, first of ten initially listed entities in Turkey. ✓ The company is managed by Tibuk Family and several foreign institutional investors. The institutional investors represent 43% of the company. ✓ Complete transformation started in 2007 with current professional management with the aim of transforming the Company into a regional leading gaming operator. The Current Business Plan : Focus on Casino Operations ✓ The core of the business development plan by the current professional management stands as hotel and casino management with a strong potential interest in any form of licensed gaming and lottery in the “Regions of Interest”. ✓ The current business plan of the Company defines “Regions of Interest” as Turkey, Northern Cyprus, the Balkans, the Southeast Europe and high-demographic African and Arab countries that show clear appetite for licensed gaming and lottery. ✓ Only licensed physical and online casino management, lottery management and sports betting remain as allowed business segments of the Company by the same business plan with strict capex rules and restrictions in place.

NET HOLDING MASTER PLAN

First Phase : Northern Cyprus, unmatched opportunity The first phase of the Company’s business plan was to expand into Northern Cyprus in hotel & casino management with strong emphasis on solid non-volatile EBITDA generation. First phase has been completed with Northern Cyprus expansion at its best generating a minimum base of USD 50mn even in adverse conditions as the ones experienced in 2016 with USD 60 mn expected in 2017 through organic sustainable growth. Adverse conditions experienced in 2016 were; ✓ Rapid devaluation of TL vs USD with NO effect on the Company’s EBITDA as revenue distribution stands at 77% hard currency. ✓ July 15th, 2017 failed coup attempt in Turkey leading to a massive drop in consumer confidence, consumer spending and restricted travel out of Turkey with NO effect on the Company’s EBITDA as Turkish visitors still made up 47% of visitors’ nationality. ✓ Shooting of Russian jet by Turkish Air Force, a first since 1954 for Russia leading to a massive drop in Russian arrivals to Turkey with NO effect on the Company’s EBITDA as visitors’ nationality stands at 53% foreign with a WELL DIVERSIFIED base that does not have a single nationality exposure. The Company’s business plan proved in 2016 that its strong vertebra of EBITDA generation in Northern Cyprus is NOT affected by economic downturn in Turkey, regional wars in Syria and Northern Iraq, a first time shut down Russian jet since 1954 by Turkey nor a massive devaluation of TL/USD.

NET HOLDING MASTER PLAN

The Strength of Merit Brand in Northern Cyprus : Merit Conquers the Island…… The Company’s business plan’s first phase was a great success as Merit brand became the most preferred luxury hotel group and casinos in the island. The Company spent for each of its Northern Cyprus casino licenses a minimum of 100 mn USD as each license on the island is granted on the basis of building a brand new hotel that has to meet strict governmental requirements. Merit remains as the largest private sector company chain in Northern Cyprus. Merit remains as the island’s only hotel and casino chain. A new entrant to the casino market in Northern Cyprus would have difficulty in finding the adequate location and plot size for a hotel & casino construction and would have to invest close to USD 1bn and spend 5 years in construction to match the size of Merit operations on the island. For the next 5 years minimum, Merit remains unchallenged in the Northern Cyprus due to its current size, barriers of entry, harder qualifications for licensing and lack of sizeable plots on the seaside especially in Kyrenia where Merit Hotels occupy the best and most strategic spots. Merit Casinos offer a unique feature; Mega Jackpot through all of its slots being connected in all its casinos to form the largest ever slot jackpot pool of the island. Merit Casinos use its own internally developed “WISE” casino live game management program completely custom tailored to the region’s casino dynamics that incorporates as well unique internally developed player rating and player card system. Merit Poker has been part of the Company’s growth plan with a focus on tournaments with largest prize pools and cash games that allow cross-marketing through the casinos’

  • ther games.

NET HOLDING MASTER PLAN

Second Phase : Expand into The Balkans, making inroads through friendlier means The second phase of the Company’s business plan was to expand into the Balkans in hotel & casino management with clear aim to repeat the Northern Cyprus success in newly discovered jewels of the Balkans & The Adriatic regions. The main difference of second phase and first phase stands out as the strategic approach difference for the Balkans from capex perspectives. Northern Cyprus required large capex as per licensing requirements whereas for the Balkans a very low capex structure was initiated. The Balkan strategy is as follows; ✓ Define the country and the city to inaugurate casinos based on local demographics, ease of access for air travel, ease

  • f visa granting or no visa status and relatively short air travel distance to the Company’s existing player base,

✓ Understand licensing requirements & apply for licensing, ✓ Choose a five-star hotel that best fits the standards of Merit brand and rent a casino space from the hotel owner for 5 +5=10 years total, second five year phase conditional on the Company’s one-way approval and an exit right at any moment by the Company with 6 month rent penalty, ✓ Import your slot machines, your live game tables, your CCTV camera systems, bring a skeleton crew of Expats, use maximum local staff and start operations, The Company’s Balkans expansion plan has been defined as very flexible and low capex operation allowing through company’s European licenses to assess rapidly whether a casino is generating any positive EBITDA at all and if not shutting down that casino to move to the next target point. This second phase of the Company’s business plan also aimed to increase the frequency of Merit players’ visits to Merit casinos by adding new venues to the existing Northern Cyprus portfolio.

NET HOLDING MASTER PLAN

Golden Rules for the Balkans : Never, Never, Never………. The Capex for each casino for the Balkans’ expansion has a limit of USD 5mn , further spending is subject to both board and key shareholders’ approval. If any casino in the Balkans has a two-year losing streak that casino is shut down and the equipment transferred to a new targeted casino operation. Spirit of Merit in the Balkans : Get Ready for more and more and more……. The Second phase of the Company’s business plan for the Balkans includes first time features for the Balkans never

  • ffered before and unique to Merit Brand as captured by “Spirit of Merit”;

✓ Each player is subject to a unique Merit player rating system based on game type played, average bet per hand, total time spent at games which allows Merit Casinos to rank the player with qualifying players being given complimentary rooms, air travel, dinner at a la carte restaurants, spa use and redeemable points that can be used as cash within Merit Casinos, ✓ Merit Casinos offer the highest limits for both live games and slot machines in Europe, ✓ Merit Casinos offer unique Merit Mega Jackpot for slots for each country by far 15 to 20 times higher than European casinos, ✓ Free open buffet food and drinks at Merit Casinos, unique feature in Europe where players are charged even for coffee, ✓ Epic new Merit Casinos’ venues that are interlaced with Game of Thrones, Star Wars, Indiana Jones and James Bond, ✓ Exclusive Merit Poker tournaments now for the first time in the Balkans, ✓ Player satisfaction centered approach to gaming by Merit,

Further expansion points in the Balkans : EBITDA quest continues……. The Company’s business plan incorporates for 2018 the inauguration of three casinos namely; ✓ Merit Svilengrad at Bulgaria at a strategic crossroads of Turkey, Greece and Bulgaria, only 2 hour by car from Istanbul, a year-around destination for Greek, Bulgarian and Turkish players. ✓ Merit Skopje in Macedonia at the home of Alexander the Great to capitalize on 500,000 inhabitants city and adding a location that is 12-month around EBITDA generator. ✓ Merit Zagreb in Croatia to capitalize on 700,000 inhabitants city and adding a location that is all year around EBITDA generator. The Company’s business plan underlines a strong interest for further expansion into the following countries without any specific timeline nor commitments; ✓ Ljubljana in Slovenia, ✓ Belgrade Serbia, ✓ Sarajevo, Bosnia & Herzegovina, ✓ Tirana, Albania, ✓ Odessa, Ukraine, ✓ Kiev, Ukraine, The Company reviews annually the political and economical status of the countries for which it has stated an interest to open a casino.

1,000 hectares (10 mn of land running along just behind the town of Gulluk on the Mediterranean coast; 5 minutes drive from Bodrum International Airport, 30 minutes from the town of Bodrum. Topography lends itself well to villas as it will allow each property to feel relatively secluded with uninterrupted views. The Project includes an iconic grand resort hotel, spa retreats up on the hills, world class conference facilities, golf club at International PGA standarts, polo club mainly geared to affluent international tourists. Current zonning plan is “Tourism” with 30% buildable-to-land area ratio, allowing 3 mn m2 of buildable space.

agreement with a local developer since 2007 that entitles NTHOL to 19% of the revenues of the Project, with a deadline to finish construction until June 2013, which has elapsed. Due to the type of the contract, the title of the property has been passed to developer & the asset (plus attached revenue sharing deal) can not yet be seen in NTHOL accounts. Three routes of monetization remain available per established judiciary practice & agreement between parties; i. Developer exercises his call option & buys out Net Holding’s shares in this project at 300 mn USD ii. Developer sells to 3rd party with Net Holding’s consent, 60% of proceeds goes to Net Group. iii. Developer defaults on contract, Net Holding gets back the land to its B/S at new market value without any compensation to developer.

FITCH RATES NET HOLDING A.S. ‘B’; OUTLOOK STABLE

37

✓Fitch Ratings has assigned Turkish gaming group Net Holding A.S a Long-Term Issuer Default Rating (IDR) of ‘B’ with Stable Outlook. ✓The IDR of ‘B’ reflects Net Holding' sustainable business model, which has shown resilience over the past years despite sharp depreciation of the Turkish lira (TRY), and deleveraging capacity by 2020 after a planned sizeable investment phase, with adequate financial flexibility. ✓The Stable Outlook reflects our expectation that Net Holding’s resilience should continue over the next few years, as the company plans to improve geographic diversification into new regions through a different asset- light operating model, helping to broaden its scale through successful strategy execution, when the planned investment starts generating additional revenues.
