of its previously announced offer to each holder of its outstanding public warrants (the “Public Warrants”)
and private warrants (the “Private Warrants”, together with the Public Warrants, the “Warrants”)
to purchase its Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share, the opportunity to receive $0.10 in cash, without interest, for
each outstanding Warrant tendered by the holder pursuant to the Amended and Restated Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation,
dated as of December 7, 2023 (the “Offer to Purchase”), and the related Letter of Transmittal and Consent (the

and the solicitation of consents (the “Consent Solicitation”) from holders of the outstanding Warrants to amend
the Warrant Agreement, dated July 8, 2021, by and between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (“Continental”)
(the “Warrant Agreement”), which governs all of the Warrants, to permit the Company to redeem each outstanding
Warrant not tendered in the Offer for $0.07 in cash, without interest, which is 30% less than the price applicable to the Offer (such
amendment, the “Warrant Amendment”).
The Offer expired
midnight, Eastern Time, at the end of the day on December 19, 2023 (the “Expiration Date”), in accordance
with its terms. Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, the depositary for the Offer, has indicated that as of the

approximately $1.3 million in cash to purchase the validly tendered Warrants.
Pursuant
to the Consent Solicitation, the Company received the approval of approximately 82% of the outstanding Public Warrants to the Warrant

Warrant Amendment as it relates to the Public Warrants and 100% of the outstanding Private Warrants to the Warrant Amendment, which is

Exhibit 99.1
Marti Announces Expiration and Results of the
Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation
Relating to its Warrants and Issues Notice of
Redemption with Respect to its Outstanding Warrants
Istanbul, Türkiye, December 20, 2023 — Marti
Technologies, Inc. (“Marti” or the “Company”) (NYSE American: MRT), Türkiye’s
leading mobility app, today announced that it has successfully completed a tender process with regard to its offer to purchase all of
its outstanding warrants to purchase its Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share (an “Ordinary Share”),
at a purchase price of $0.10 per warrant in cash, without interest (the “Offer”) and that it has issued a notice
of redemption pursuant to which it will redeem for cash all of its outstanding warrants that were not tendered in the Offer. All untendered
and unexercised warrants will be redeemed on January 4, 2024 (the “Redemption Date”). The redemption price will
be $0.07 per warrant (the “Redemption Price”). The successfully completed tender process, when combined with
the contemplated redemption of untendered warrants, will lead to a simplified capital structure with no warrants.
Marti’s offer to purchase (a) 7,187,489
warrants to purchase its Ordinary Shares which were publicly issued and sold as part of the units in the Company’s initial public
offering in July 2021 (the “IPO”) (the “Public Warrants”), and (b) 7,250,000 warrants
to purchase its Ordinary Shares which were privately issued and sold in connection with the IPO pursuant to an exemption from registration
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) (the “Private Warrants”
and together with the Public Warrants, the “Warrants”), expired at 12:00 midnight, Eastern Time, at the end
of the day on December 19, 2023 (the “Expiration Date”).
Marti has been advised that, as of the Expiration
Date, (i) 5,902,206 Public Warrants had been validly tendered and not validly withdrawn from the Offer, representing approximately 82%
of the outstanding Public Warrants and (ii) 7,250,000 Private Warrants had been validly tendered and not validly withdrawn from the Offer,
representing 100% of the outstanding Private Warrants, which cumulatively comprised approximately 91% of all outstanding Warrants.
Pursuant to the terms of the Offer the Company expects to pay an aggregate of approximately $1.3 million in cash to purchase the validly
tendered Warrants. Holders of Warrants that were validly tendered and not validly withdrawn prior to the expiration of the Offer will
receive $0.10 in cash, without interest, for each outstanding Warrant tendered by the holder pursuant to the Offer. The Company expects
to accept all validly tendered Warrants for purchase and settlement on December 22, 2023 (the “Settlement”).
Marti also solicited consents (the “Consent
Solicitation”) to amend the Warrant Agreement, dated July 8, 2021, by and between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer
& Trust Company (“Continental”) (the “Warrant Agreement”), which governs all of
the Warrants, to permit the Company to redeem each outstanding Warrant not tendered in the Offer for $0.07 in cash, without interest,
which is 30% less than the price applicable to the Offer (such amendment, the “Warrant Amendment”). Pursuant
to the terms of the Warrant Agreement, the consent of holders of at least a majority of the outstanding Public Warrants is required to
approve the Warrant Amendment as it relates to the Public Warrants and the consent of holders of at least a majority of the outstanding
Private Warrants is required to approve the Warrant Amendment as it relates to the Private Warrants.
As of the Expiration Date, parties representing
approximately 82% of the outstanding Public Warrants and 100% of the outstanding Private Warrants consented to the
Warrant Amendment in the Consent Solicitation. Accordingly, because holders of more than a majority of the outstanding Public Warrants
and a majority of the outstanding Private Warrants have agreed to consent to the Warrant Amendment in the Consent Solicitation, the Warrant
Amendment was adopted. The Warrant Amendment was executed and any Warrants that were not tendered in the Offer may be exercised at any
time until 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the Redemption Date. Any Warrants that remain unexercised at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the Redemption
Date will be void and no longer exercisable and their holders will have no rights with respect to those Warrants, except to receive the
Redemption Price. Of the total of 14,437,489 Warrants that are outstanding, 13,152,206 Warrants were tendered in connection with the Offer
and 1,285,283 Warrants remain untendered and subject to redemption at the Redemption Price, unless exercised prior to the Redemption Date,
following which no Warrants will remain outstanding.
The Offer and Consent Solicitation were made pursuant
to the Amended and Restated Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation dated December 7, 2023 (the “Offer to Purchase”),
and the related Letter of Transmittal and Consent (the “Letter of Transmittal and Consent”), each of which have
been filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
The Ordinary Shares and Warrants are listed on
the NYSE American under the symbols “MRT” and “MRT.WS,” respectively. The last trading day of the Warrants on the NYSE American will be January 3, 2024.
Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. (“Cantor”)
was the dealer manager for the Offer and Consent Solicitation. Morrow Sodali Global LLC (“Morrow Sodali”) was
the information agent for the Offer and Consent Solicitation, and Continental was the depositary for the Offer and Consent Solicitation.

Miscellaneous Provisions. |
2.1 Severability.
This Amendment shall be deemed severable, and the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision hereof shall not affect the

and Records Act and any other applicable law, including, without limitation, any state law based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions
Act or the Uniform Commercial Code.
