Insights
TL;DR: Redemption executed as planned; high short-term funding cost evident from the 49.75% annual simple rate.
The company completed the repayment of a 96-day bill totaling TRY 900,000,000 and a single coupon of TRY 117,764,369.99. This was a privately placed, exchange-traded instrument aimed at qualified investors. The stated 49.75% annual simple interest rate implies a high effective cost for short-term liquidity; the filing also reports a compound equivalent rate of 59.60602%. From a credit perspective, the issuer retains a Long Term National Rating of AAA (tr), which contextualizes creditworthiness within the national scale.
TL;DR: Transaction closed per prior notice; principal and coupon paid in full on the maturity date.
Details confirm the bill was issued between May 8-9, 2025, with sale to qualified investors and fully redeemed on August 13, 2025. The issuance filled the intended maximum nominal amount of TRY 900,000,000. The record shows single-coupon structure with TL payment and exchange trading. The completion reduces that short-term liability from the balance sheet as of the maturity date, consistent with the company鈥檚 stated financing plan.
