We filed an amendment to our registration statement on F-1 today
with the Securities and Exchange Commission which revised or
clarified certain disclosures in the preliminary prospectus
dated January 17, 2007. In particular, the preliminary
prospectus disclosed that individual subscribers may seek to
file class actions against the cellular companies based on the
alleged failure to comply with the number portability
requirements imposed by the government. As set forth on page 89
of the amended registration statement, such a purported class
action has now been filed against the three largest cellular
providers, including us, and the two largest wireline providers
in Israel. The claim was filed in the District Court of
Jerusalem by three plaintiffs claiming to be subscribers of some
of the defendants, in connection with an alleged violation of
the defendants statutory duty to allow their subscribers
to transfer with their number to another operator, thus,
allegedly, causing monetary damage to the subscribers. If the
lawsuit is certified as a class action, the total amount claimed
is estimated by the plaintiffs to be at least
NIS 10.6 billion, without specifying the amount
claimed from us and subject to increase in as much as the
alleged violation is prolonged. The amount of damages alleged by
the plaintiffs is at least NIS 1,000 per subscriber (the
plaintiffs are alleging that the damage for business customers
is at least double the amount and are maintaining the right to
increase the claim accordingly), and we have been attributed
2.82 million subscribers in the claim.
At this preliminary stage, we are unable to assess the
lawsuits chances of success. Accordingly, no provision has
been made in our financial statements in respect of this claim.
However, we believe that the claim does not provide a relevant
basis for the amount of monetary damages requested.
