amended, Section 21E of the US Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the safe harbor provisions of the US Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Words such as estimate, "believe", "anticipate", "expect", "intend", "seek", "will", "plan",
"could", "may", "project", "goal", "target" and similar expressions often identify forward-looking statements but are not the only way we
identify these statements. In particular, this presentation contains forward-looking statements regarding, among other, (i) the anticipated
offering by the Company of television and 4G services, and (ii) expected gains in efficiency as a result of the network sharing
agreement with Hot Mobile. In addition, all statements other than statements of historical fact included in this presentation regarding our
future performance, plans to increase revenues or margins or preserve or expand market share in existing or new markets, reduce
expenses and any statements regarding other future events or our future prospects, are forward-looking statements.
We have based these forward-looking statements on our current knowledge and our present beliefs and expectations regarding
possible future events. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions including (i) potential
difficulties in satisfying regulatory requirements applicable to television operators, which in addition create de facto exclusivity for
existing operators, and in obtaining television content on commercially reasonable terms (ii) the effective implementation of joint actions
regarding network upgrade and maintenance under the network sharing agreement with Hot Mobile as well as consumer habits and
preferences in cellular telephone usage, trends in the Israeli telecommunications industry in general, and the impact of global economic
conditions (iii) Whether the regulations for the wholesale fixed-line market will be implemented as anticipated. Future results may differ
materially from those anticipated herein. For further information regarding risks, uncertainties and assumptions about Partner, trends in
the Israeli telecommunications industry in general, the impact of current global economic conditions and possible regulatory and legal
developments, and other risks we face, see "Item 3. Key Information - 3D. Risk Factors", "Item 4. Information on the Company", "Item 5.
Operating and Financial Review and Prospects", "Item 8. Financial Information - 8A. Consolidated Financial Statements and Other
Financial Information - 8A.1 Legal and Administrative Proceedings" and "Item 11. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market
Risk" in the Company's Annual Reports on Form 20-F filed with the SEC, as well as its current reports on Form 6-K furnished to the

future events or otherwise.

Industry update - main regulatory issues*
Cellular The MoC does not equally enforce obligations to invest in
infrastructure on all the players. Currently the MoC is reviewing its
investments position on this issue

Cellular network Network sharing agreements brought to the MoC should be of


similar investment and ownership obligations to the agreements
sharing already approved
Proposed regulation would allow a cellular subscriber to receive
roaming services abroad from any operator while keeping his
Roaming
cellular number without changing providers - Currently this
regulation is on hold
Proposed regulation may decrease the number of international
International calls calls routed through 012 and adversely impact revenues

New regulation sets price limitations and requires caller to opt in to


Premium calls
complete the call which may negatively impact revenues
