Yapı Kredi Bankası announced that it has signed a share‑transfer agreement to sell its Yapı Kredi Portföy Yönetimi A.Ş. stake to AZ International Holdings, a subsidiary of the Azimut Group. The total transaction value is 16.4 billion Turkish lira. Payment terms include a cash component of up to 13.977 billion lira, a deferred component of up to 2.415 billion lira and a possible cash‑equivalent adjustment of up to 3.7 billion lira.
