Tera Group acquisition of Pusula Finans Holding

Overview

Tera Group initiated negotiations to acquire Pusula Finans Holding and its various subsidiaries, including Pusula Portföy Yönetimi A. Ş., Pusula Yatırım Menkul Değerler A. Ş., and Katılım Evim Tasarruf Finansman A. Ş. The group stated the move was intended to increase its scale and diversity within the finance sector, though no binding agreement had been signed at the time of the announcement.

Shortly after, Pusula Finans Holding and its subsidiaries faced legal scrutiny. The Istanbul Chief Public Prosecutor's Office reportedly issued an arrest warrant for Muhammet Yarız, Chairman of Pusula Portföy, and placed restrictions on his assets and bank accounts. Reports indicated that Yarız fled to Greece by boat from Marmaris. Additionally, Serdar Turhan, Chairman of Pusula Holding and Katılımevim, was issued a travel ban.

Tera Group responded via the Public Disclosure Platform (KAP), asserting that the legal issues involving Pusula's leadership are “independent of the corporate structures and activities of Pusula Finans Holding and its subsidiaries.” The group maintained that its planned acquisition remains a key part of its long-term growth strategy and is proceeding according to previous agreements.

Recent developments confirm that the acquisition process is proceeding, with Tera Group stating that the strategic and financial terms of the takeover remain unchanged. Amidst the legal proceedings, Serdar Turhan has resigned from his positions at Katılımevim. In response to these leadership changes, Katılımevim has appointed Emre Tezmen and Erkan Kilimci to its board, with Tezmen assuming the role of Chairman. The acquisition is currently awaiting necessary approvals from regulatory bodies, including the Capital Markets Board (SPK) and the Banking Regulation and Supervision Agency (BDDK).
