Corporate Governance in Turkey 2023 - 2

Controlling shareholders in Turkish law do not have specific duties to the company or non-controlling shareholders, but they must exercise their rights in good faith. Special provisions exist for minority shareholders, and the dominant company cannot cause financial loss to its subsidiary without compensation. Shareholders' liability is generally limited to their subscribed capital, except for limited liability companies' government debts. Employees have no specific duty in corporate governance unless assigned as commercial representatives. Share transfer restrictions are allowed under certain circumstances. New shares require shareholder approval, and pre-emptive rights exist. Compulsory share repurchases are allowed in exceptional cases. Share transfer restrictions are prohibited for public companies. Directors owe legal duties to the company, shareholders, and creditors, and enforcement actions can be brought against them. Directors must act with care and in compliance with good faith.

Corporate Governance in Turkey 2023 - 1

Corporate governance in Turkey is governed by the Turkish Commercial Code (TCC) and other related laws, such as Law No. 6335 and the Capital Markets Law. Listed companies are required to comply with mandatory corporate governance principles, with some exceptions for certain corporations. The Ministry of Trade enforces these provisions, and disputes are resolved in commercial courts. Shareholder rights are protected, allowing them to appoint or remove directors, request extraordinary general assemblies, and demand information.
