Motions granting authority to the board over real estate rejected at Fenerbahçe

The ordinary elective general assembly meeting of Fenerbahçe Sports Club is taking place at the Fenerbahçe Şükrü Saracoğlu Sports Complex.

Following the speeches made on the first day of the congress, the agenda items were addressed. Fenerbahçe High Council Board President Şekip Mosturoğlu presented the motion to the congress members: 'Granting authority to the newly formed Board of Directors until the end of their term regarding the sale/purchase of real estate in line with the club's objectives, leasing or allocating real estate owned or used by the club to third parties, entering into operational and partnership agreements related to these properties, establishing real or personal rights and obligations on these properties, and other matters permitted by relevant legislation.'

Following the rejection by majority vote, President Ali Koç took the podium, stating that presidential candidate Sadettin Saran and his team, in particular, should listen to what he had to say: "Sadettin Saran and his team, these items have been included in every general assembly held since 2013. Because these items are designed to ease the hands of the boards of directors and allow for faster decision-making. It is being treated as if it were added to the agenda today. As if we invented it for the first time. These items have been included in every general assembly held since 2013," he said. Turning to Fenerbahçe High Council Board President Şekip Mosturoğlu and emphasizing that he was on Aziz Yıldırım's management list in the past, Koç asked, "Was this used during your own terms?"

Mosturoğlu also addressed the congress members, saying, "These items have nothing to do with the elections. It is a matter related to the functioning of the club management. Mr. Sadettin would also need this item if he were elected."

Mosturoğlu decided to recount the votes. Article 11 was rejected by a majority vote.

Article 12, which states, 'Granting authority to the newly formed Board of Directors until the end of their term for investments and facilities to be made on real estate owned or used by the club, or on land allocated to the club through long-term leasing or easement rights, etc.,' was presented to the congress members for a vote. This item was also rejected by a majority vote.

Article 13, which states, 'Granting authority to the newly formed Board of Directors until the end of their term regarding matters such as establishing commercial enterprises, companies, cooperatives, associations, or foundations domestically and abroad, or joining or withdrawing from established ones, purchasing and selling shares, evaluating shares belonging to companies founded by or partnered with the club through public offering or other means as prescribed by law, selling and/or repurchasing shares, and changing the type or liquidating companies,' was also rejected by a majority vote.
