Isbank Founder Shares

ISKUR is the Borsa Istanbul ticker for the founder's dividend certificates (kurucu intifa senetleri) of Turkiye Is Bankasi A.S. The bank is a long-established deposit bank headquartered at the Is Towers in Levent, Istanbul; however, this security, often referred to as ISKUR stock, has a different structure from the bank's Group (A), (B) and (C) shares.

According to statements by Is Bankasi, the founder's certificates are legally dividend certificates rather than shares: they do not represent any stake in the capital and give holders no right to attend or vote at the general meeting, providing only property rights such as a share of profits. These certificates were granted to those who took shares when the bank was founded, and no new ones have been issued since the capital exceeded a certain amount; their rights in profit distribution are set out in the articles of association. Because the amount in circulation is limited, trading volume can remain low.

The ISKUR price is closely tied to the bank's dividend distribution decisions and the distribution provisions of its articles of association; net interest margin, credit quality and capital adequacy, which affect the bank's profitability, also matter indirectly. In securities with limited liquidity like this one, price spreads can be wide. The ISKUR page on Lzzo.com offers its price history and a comparison with the other Is Bankasi tickers.
