Question: Bystrova Evgeniya - Barclays - Analyst
: Yes. And congrats on the results. I have just one question regarding your potential bond issuance program. Given that you just received TRY500
million proceeds and now you're planning to issue TRY1 billion. So I was just trying to understand or maybe you could provide more color in terms
of the timing of the issuance? And also are you planning to issue the whole TRY1 billion? Or it will be split in part? And also you mentioned that
you're planning a sustainable or green bond. So which one are you planning to issue?
Question: Demirtas Cemal - Ata Invest - Analyst
: Congratulations for good results. My question is about the growth prospects. I know that you have been ambitious about the growth potential in
the long term. But I would like to understand the plans related to data centers and clouds. We see some significant increase in the third quarter.
How should we assume for the following years regarding the growth, what should be the portion of this business in overall your business side?
That's my question for maybe the next several years.
And the second question is after US elections Trump won the elections as far as we see. Regarding the projects, the China-US relations to all those
technology issues, do you have any strategy in your mind regarding the projects for the future? Or does it have any impact on your plans related
to the relations globally?
Question: Demirtas Cemal - Ata Invest - Analyst
: And as a follow-up related to 5G. Is it still early to talk about the timing or I don't know maybe I'm missing some point, but what might be the
potential timing on that?
Question: Demirtas Cemal - Ata Invest - Analyst
: And very last question regarding 2025, what's going to be your story compared to 2024? You had difficult times when the inflation increase was
very significant. And then you adapted market conditions. But now we are possibly into this inflationary environment. And maybe in a couple of
sentence how do you see 2025 on your side?
Question: Madhvendra Singh - HSBC - Analyst
: My first question is on your operational performance and about the pricing outlook. So if you could disaggregate how much of the growth in the
third quarter was because of price increase or pricing? And then do you have any further plans to increase prices? And how comfortable are you
with your ability to continue with the price hikes. So that's the first question.
And second question is on your data center strategy as you mentioned. If possible, I may have missed it. But if you could remind about your targets,
how many megawatts capacity are you looking for? And by when? And would you consider any M&A to reach there? Or do you want to go there
organically in its entirety?
And then finally if you could also talk about your overall M&A strategy. Is there any gap in your offering that you would want to complete with any
potential M&A?
Question: Madhvendra Singh - HSBC - Analyst
: Your overall M&A strategy, sorry?
Question: Madhvendra Singh - HSBC - Analyst
: And within Turkey also, you're not looking to do any other M&A, right?
Question: Madhvendra Singh - HSBC - Analyst
: Other areas as well.
Question: Bystrova Evgeniya - Barclays - Analyst

going on. I appreciate that it might be sensitive. So any color would be very, very helpful.
