MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT

Dear Readers of World of Nurol,

In this historic period as we celebrate the centennial of our Republic, we are honored to
reaffirm our steadfast commitment to its founding principles. As part of our mission, we
are dedicated to collaborating with our valuable stakeholders to enhance the welfare of our
country and society, guided by the fundamental principles of our Republic.

It is our indispensable responsibility to protect and develop the wealth bestowed upon us by
our Republic, to create added value through the effective use of our resources, and to work
with determination towards a brighter future.

As the Nurol Group, with over half a century of experience, we gathered at Anıtkabir to
commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Republic of Türkiye in the presence of our
founder, Mustafa Kemal Atatürk. During this significant visit, we expressed our enduring
longing, gratitude, and profound respect for the founder of our Republic with heartfelt
sincerity.

We hosted a grand “Republic Ball” at the Sheraton Hotel, an iconic venue in Ankara. This
special evening not only marked the enthusiasm of our 100th anniversary celebrations of the
Republic of Türkiye but also served as a gathering for distinguished figures from the public
and private sectors, as well as academia.

In our half-century journey, the Nurol Group is expanding its international presence by
entering new markets through strategic investments. These investments play a critical role in
boosting our country's exports and enhancing our global brand recognition.

In the UK, we established Nurol Makine Sanayii UK (NMS UK), a wholly owned subsidiary
of Nurol Makina. We envision this new venture as a cornerstone for establishing a strategic
position in the British defense industry. Simultaneously, we finalized an agreement to
establish a joint venture company in Hungary for producing Ejder Yalçın 4X4 tactical wheeled
armored vehicles under the name Gidran. This collaboration, involving Nurol Makina and
Raba Holding, aims to develop indigenous subsystems and technologies through projects
with Györ Szechenyi Istvan University and other Hungarian defense industry companies.
