3. Notifications are revised and investigated. Violations and inspection results are shared
          with the Committee of Ethics and Discipline. Committee submits its report to Holding’s
          Board of Directors.
          4. Disclosure of the notification to third parties is definitely be prohibited. It is not
          permitted that any employee, who rejects behaving against codes of ethics and reports a
          violation in good faith, be threatened inside or outside the office or suffer from retaliation
          or something else in any way. This kind of behaviors are considered as violation of codes
          of ethics and require disciplinary punishment.

          5. It is of high importance that the Notifying Party is free from bad intentions such as
          gossiping about the Notified Party or trying to affect his/her career negatively. Thus, it
          is very crucial that notification and investigation processes are carried out in accordance
          with the principles of privacy, objectivity and compliance with codes of ethics. Both
          the  Notifying Party  and  the  officers  who  carry  out  the  process  are  required  to  pay
          much attention to this issue. Deliberate notifications having the characteristics of lie
          and/or slander are considered as violation as well. Management primarily assures the
          appropriate platform and efficiency for the operation of notification mechanism. On the
          other hand, employees are informed about that they should assist the management for
          the efficiency of notification mechanism.
