US$400 Million Equivalent of DPR Securitization

Yapı Kredi Obtained US$400 million Equivalent of Financing Through DPR Securitization, Setting a New Benchmark In Terms of Achieving Tightest Spreads

Yapı Kredi obtained US$400 million equivalent of financing within the framework of its DPR (Diversified Payment Rights) securitization program based on future flows and export receivables, arranged on a joint lead basis by Standard Chartered Bank and UniCredit Markets & Investment Banking, acting through Bayerische Hypo- und Vereinsbank AG. The proceeds of the financing entered into Yapı Kredi’s accounts on 1 March 2007.

The financing composed of 2 tranches. Both the first €115 million tranche and the second US$250 million tranche have maturities of 8 years. Monoline guarantees were provided by Financial Guaranty Insurance Company (“FGIC”) for the €115 million tranche and by XL Capital Assurance Inc. (“XL”) for the US$250 million tranche. With the provided funding, the fifth tranche of US$310 million which has maturity of 5 years has been repaid.

The details of the transaction are outlined in the table below:

With this 2007 Issue through its DPR programme, Yapı Kredi set a new benchmark by achieving the tightest capital markets pricing for any DPR securitization transaction, following significant oversubscription. Yapı Kredi’s 2006 Issue was the largest DPR securitization transaction (US$1.2 billion) completed to date globally and the single largest issuance into the international debt capital markets by a non-governmental entity out of Turkey.

Comprising the 2007 Issue, Yapı Kredi currently has US$1.29 billion outstanding under its DPR programme.

İstanbul, 2 March 2007.
