■ Brings special tax benefits to REITs:
• Corporate tax exemption,
• 0% withholding tax on corporate earnings and dividends paid out,
• VAT exemption on security purchases to portfolio,
• Stamp duty exemption on real estate sales/purchase contracts and promise-to-sell agreements.
■ Investor Friendly:
• Transparency (Valuation & Transactions),
• Stronger corporate governance,
• Encourages IPOs and access to capital markets.

10. Market Performance of REITs
Source: ISE
■ REITs tend to outperform the broader market when the economy is growing and especially when the interest rates are falling.
■ Based on the June 30, 2011 appraisals, REITs’ average gross rental yields are 6.6% in retail, 8.1% in office and 9.3% in industrial segment.
■ REITs were a major underperformer during 2008 due to rising interest rates. But, they bottomed out in late 2008 and caught up with the
overall market in 2009 thanks to the sharp reversal in interest rates, improving economic fundamentals and pent-up demand. REITs became
an underperformer again from 2Q10. Yet, this changed after Emlak Konut REIT’s IPO in December 2010, which in view of its large size,
triggered a considerable interest in the sector.
■ REITs beat the overall market by a slight 7% in 2011 and they are performing in line with the ISE-100 so far in 2012.

Existing Office Stock by Submarkets (Istanbul)
■ Istanbul is the only meaningful office market with
the current stock of 2.9 mn sqm as of YE11.
■ 40% of this stock is located in the CBD and 60% in
non-CBD.
■ New supply reached 326,000 sqm in 2011

delivered in 2010 and 2009, respectively.

■ However, high quality office supply is still limited,
especially in the CBD, as most of the existing
stock is low quality office space converted from
residential apartments.

13. Major Drivers:
■ Ongoing shift from outdated offices to modern premises.
■ GDP growth,
■ FDI inflows,
■ Relocation and expansion needs triggered by sector consolidation and
M&As,

14. GDP Growth & FDI Inflows
Real GDP Growth (YoY, %) FDI Inflows
Source: TurkStat Source: Turkish Ministry of Economy
■ Turkey was one of the world’s top performers in economic growth during 2011.
■ FDI inflows started to pick up in 2011 driven by Turkey’s relatively stronger standing vs. its peers
in the current global environment.
■ Foreign interest may further escalate with a pending improvement in Turkey’s credit rating to
investment grade.

15. M&A Activity and Consolidation
Avg turnover per company in manufacturing sector M&A Activity in Turkey (US$ bn)

■ M&As & sector consolidation are another major driver of office demand in Turkey.
■ Turkey still lags far behind the developed European countries in terms of company scales and there is still significant scope
for further consolidation in many sectors.
■ In 2011, total M&A volume in Turkey reached US$15 bn in 241 transactions despite the lack of big ticket privatizations.
■ Foreign investors accounted for 74% of the total deal volume vs. 36% in 2010.

20. Household Dynamics & Retail Turnover
Household Debt to GDP (1H11) Retail Market Turnover
Source: CBT, BRSA, TurkStat, ECB Source: Trade Council of Shopping Centres & Retailers
■ Turkey still has a low household indebtedness compared to EU countries.
■ As of 3Q11, Turkish household debt consisted of 36.2% consumer loans, 35.5% mortgages, 23.7% credit card payables
and 4.5% auto loans.
■ Turkish retail market recorded significant growth over the last 6 years.
■ This was sustained even during the crisis years of 2008-2009.
■ However, despite this strong growth, organized retail still acounts for 40-42% of the overall retail market vs. 80-90% in
developed countries, signalling more way to go for Turkey.

CAGR (2005-2011): 24%
(mn sqm)
Source: Council of Shopiing Centres, Jones Lang LaSalle January 2012 Source: Cushman & Wakefield, September 2011
■ The growth in GLA accelerated from 2006 onward.
■ As of YE11, there are 302 shopping centers in Turkey encompassing a total GLA of 7.6 mn sqm.
■ Based on the existing stock and pipeline projects, Turkey is the seventh largest retail market in Europe and also
has the second largest development pipeline among European countries after Russia.
21
22. Retail Density
GLA per 1,000 Capita
■ Turkey’s retail density stands at 104 sqm per
1,000 capita as of YE11.
■ Based on the current development pipeline,
it is projected to reach 124 sqm by the end
of 2013.
■ Ankara and İstanbul are the two leading
cities in GLA per 1,000 capita with 236 and
232 sqm, respectively, which have already
caught up with the EU averages.
■ While major cities have attained a certain
level of saturation and there exists an
oversupply in some parts of those cities,
Turkey, as a whole, is still underpenetrated
and lags behind most of the EU countries.
■ As of 3Q11, there is still no modern retail
supply in 32 cities out of the total 81 cities in
Turkey.
