Bodrum Land
 300 mn $ of monetization opportunity – NOT even on balance sheet.

1,000 hectares (10 mn of land running along just behind the town of Gulluk on the Mediterranean coast; 5
minutes drive from Bodrum International Airport, 30 minutes from the town of Bodrum. Topography lends itself
well to villas as it will allow each property to feel relatively secluded with uninterrupted views. The Project includes
an iconic grand resort hotel, spa retreats up on the hills, world class conference facilities, golf club at International
PGA standarts, polo club mainly geared to affluent international tourists.

Current zonning plan is “Tourism” with 30% buildable-to-land area ratio, allowing 3 mn m2 of buildable space.
Savills, has produced a report in 2011 with 16% buildable to land area ratio (max. allowed in 2011), accordingly;
Stage 1: 3, 304 residential keys and 141 hotel rooms for the golf hotel, 382 for the grand resort hotel and 132
rooms for the spa hotel. Stage 2: Adding 545 hotel rooms and another 3,304 residential keys. The property is under
a revenue sharing agreement with a local developer since 2007 that entitles NTHOL to 19% of the revenues of the
Project, with a deadline to finish construction until June 2013, which has elapsed. Due to the type of the contract,
the title of the property has been passed to developer & the asset (plus attached revenue sharing deal) can not yet
be seen in NTHOL accounts.

Three routes of monetization remain available per established judiciary practice & agreement between parties;
a)    Developer exercises his call option & buys out Net Holding’s shares in this project at 300 mn $
b)    Developer sells to 3rd party with Net Holding’s consent, 60% of proceeds goes to Net Group.
c)    Developer defaults on contract, Net Holding gets back the land to its B/S at new market value without any
      compensation to developer.
