A PURPORTED CLASS ACTION FILED AGAINST THE COMPANY

Netanya, Israel– November 21, 2007

It was brought to the Company’s attention that a purported class action lawsuit was filed on November 19, 2007 against the Company, in the District Court of Central Region, by a plaintiff who claims to be a subscriber of the Company. The plaintiff claims that the Company charged its subscribers for content services without obtaining from its subscribers a specific consent, in a manner which complies with the provisions of its general license.
 
If the lawsuit is certified as a class action, the amount claimed is estimated by the plaintiff to be NIS 432,000,000.
 
At this preliminary stage, the Company is unable to assess the lawsuit's chances of success.
