Investor Relations

Sabancı Holding has an open, dynamic line of communication with its shareholders. We take great pride in this. We believe that the best way to increase Sabancı Holding’s value for its current shareholders, while creating an attractive investment opportunity for potential investors, is to execute our strategic agenda successfully and convey results in a timely and transparent manner. This is a fundamental principle embodied in Sabancı Holding’s corporate structure, by having two independent members serve on the Board of Directors. 

The investor relations agenda is managed by the Institutional Investor Relations Department within the Finance Division. This department handles the daily information flow to the investment community. In 2009, our investor relations team responded to numerous investor and equity research analyst requests via phone, e-mail and postal mail as well as proactively and regularly contacting a comprehensive list of financial institutions with news updates. Throughout the year, our investor relations activities included more than 200 investor and equity research analyst presentations at our corporate headquarters in Istanbul, as well as over 150 one-on-one 

and group meetings in major international financial centers, such as London, New York, Zurich, Geneva, Frankfurt, Stockholm, Paris and Vienna. Consequently, we have witnessed an increase in coverage by both the local and the international research communities. 

We are confident that through such open dialogue with current and potential shareholders, we will continue to convey the benefits of investing in Sabancı Holding.

We encourage all potential investors to contact us at investor.relations@sabanci.com for any questions or requests for information.
