Austrian Post acquired a 25% stake in Turkish parcel service provider
Aras Kargo in 2013. At that time, Austrian Post and Aras Kargo also
agreed on a call option which entitled Austrian Post to acquire a
further 50% stake in the second quarter of 2016. By now Austrian Post
initiated the call option procedure.

However, there have been differences in opinion between Austrian Post
and the current majority shareholder regarding the execution of the
call option agreement as well as the valuation of shares. Based on
the solid contractual position, Austrian Post is currently reviewing
all options and will take the necessary steps for implementing the
contractual agreement.

For the time being, Austrian Post will continue reporting its 25%
stake at equity.

Background Information on Aras Cargo Aras Kargo is one of the leading
Turkish parcel service providers with annual revenue of approximately
EUR 270m, delivering some 72m parcels and 40m documents in 2015. The
company has been operating in the parcels business for more than 30
years, and has a market share of 27%. In recent years, Aras Kargo has
been able to disproportionately benefit from the growth of the
Turkish market, achieving double-digit revenue growth rates p.a. in
local currency. The company operates a nationwide network in Turkey,
consisting of about 820 shops, 28 distribution centres and 3,500
delivery vehicles, with a workforce of some 5,200 employees. 75% of
the shares are currently in the hands of the Aras family and 25% are
owned by Austrian Post.
