ITEM 1
 
APPROVAL OF CERTAIN DIRECTORS' COMPENSATION AND RELATED MATTERS
 
Under the Israeli Companies Law, the directors of the Company (other than the external directors (Dahatzim) who generally serve for three year terms) shall be appointed at the annual general meeting unless otherwise provided in the Company’s Articles of Association.

Under the Company's Articles of Association, the Board of Directors has the right to elect any person as a director and to fill an office which became vacant. Any director elected in such manner shall serve in office until the coming annual meeting, and may be re-elected. Accordingly, following the completion of the Change of Control Transaction (as defined below), certain directors resigned from Partner's Board of Directors and the Board of Directors has elected on January 29, 2013, Messrs Shlomo Rodav, Arieh Saban, Adam Chesnoff,  Fred Gluckman, Elon Shalev, Sumeet Jaisinghani and Yoav Rubinstein, as directors of the Company (the "New Directors"). The service of the New Directors was recommended by S.B. Israel Telecom Ltd., an Israeli company (“SB Telecom”), which is an affiliate of Saban Capital Group, Inc. As reported in 2012 by Scailex Corporation Ltd. (“Scailex”), SB Telecom and Scailex (and their respective affiliates) are generally voting in a unified manner (according to a majority vote among them).  Additionally, subject to the provisions of any law, SB Telecom and Scailex agreed to take all action, including their voting power in the shareholders meetings of Partner, to ensure that the composition of Partner's Board of Directors will generally be: a majority of candidates recommended by SB Telecom and two candidates recommended by Scailex (as long as the cumulative holdings of Scailex and its related parties in Partner is equal to 10% or more of Partner's share capital, or one if such holdings are less than 10% but equal to or greater than 5%, or none if such holdings are less than 5%.
 
               The Board of Directors has determined that the board should include at least three directors who are “accounting and financial experts” under the Israeli Companies Law and regulations promulgated thereunder. Mr. Shlomo Rodav, Mr. Adam Chesnoff, Mr. Fred Gluckman, Mr. Sumeet Jaisinghani, Mr. Yoav Rubinstein, Mr. Ilan Ben Dov, Dr. Michael Anghel, Mr. Barry Ben-Zeev (Woolfson), Ms. Osnat Ronen, Mr. Yahel Shachar and Mr. Arie Steinberg were determined by the Board of Directors to be “accounting and financial experts” under the Israeli Companies Law and regulations promulgated thereunder. Dr. Anghel, Mr. Ben-Zeev (Woolfson), Ms. Ronen and Mr. Steinberg also qualify as independent directors according to U.S. law.  Mr. Steinberg was also determined by the Audit Committee to be an independent (bilty taluy) director under the Israeli Companies Law and regulations promulgated thereunder.

The Compensation Committee and Board of Directors have considered several factors in connection with the proposed resolutions (partly in line with recent Amendment No. 20 to the Israeli Companies Law), including the following: (a) that other than the Chairman of the Board of Directors (to be considered in the future), the directors compensation should, generally, be in unified amounts (or calculated in a unified manner according to number of meetings, as the case may be) (as customary), and it is not appropriate to adjust it separately to the circumstances of each director; (b) that the Compensation (as defined below) proposed to the directors is appropriate considering their role, the responsibility imposed on them and considering the education, qualifications, expertise and professional accomplishments of each of the directors; (c) that the Compensation should be set according to quantifiable criteria; (d) that as the directors are not having a full-time position in the company and the final amount of part of the Compensation is not yet known (calculated based on participation in meetings), it is irrelevant to compare the Compensation to compensation of Company's employees; (e) that the Compensation currently payable to directors does not include capital or variable components; (f) that it is meaningless to require a director to repay the Company amounts paid to him based on data that was later restated in the Company's financial statements, as the Compensation is dependent only on the number of meetings; and (g) following approval of the Compensation by the shareholders, it is not appropriate that the directors will have discretion to reduce or otherwise change their own compensation without shareholders' approval.

The Compensation Committee and Board of Directors have noted that paying the proposed Compensation is important to enable the directors to promote the Company's objectives, its business plan and policy in the long term and to create proper and balanced incentives to the directors considering, among other things, the Company's risk-management policy, size and nature of activities. They also noted that paying the proposed Compensation is essential to ensure the recruitment and service of appropriate directors, having the qualifications, expertise and experience relevant to serving on the Company's Board of Directors, considering the high exposure faced today by directors in public companies and moreover in companies with securities publicly listed in the USA and in Israel.

The Compensation Committee and Board of Directors have noted the respective personal interests of the New Directors, Mr. Ilan Ben Dov and Mr. Yahel Shachar in the resolutions below. The Compensation Committee and Board of Directors have further resolved and recommended to the shareholders at the EGM, (a) to approve and ratify a compensation for Messrs Arieh Saban, Adam Chesnoff, Fred Gluckman, Elon Shalev, Sumeet Jaisinghani and Yoav Rubinstein, commencing from their appointment on January 29, 2013 (the date of the Change of Control Transaction) and approve and ratify a compensation for Messrs Ilan Ben Dov and Yahel Shachar commencing from January 29, 2013 (the date of the Change of Control Transaction), for their respective services to the Company as directors, equal to: (i) an annual fee of NIS 180,000 (one hundred and eighty thousand NIS); and (ii) an attendance fee of NIS 4,000 (four thousand NIS) per meeting, applicable from the fifth meeting per year (100% thereof for participation in person, 60% thereof by means of communication, or 50% thereof in writing), in each such case, linked to the Israeli Consumer Price Index published for December 2007, but in any event no less than an aggregate amount per annum equal to U.S. $50,000 (U.S. Dollars fifty thousand, payable according to the representative exchange rate on the payment date) as previously approved by the shareholders, (the “Compensation”); and (b) to approve and ratify the reimbursement of reasonable expenses in connection with the performance of role of the New Directors and Messrs Ilan Ben Dov and Yahel Shachar.

The Compensation Committee and Board of Directors have approved, and recommended to the shareholders at the EGM, to approve that (i) subject to the adoption of the pertinent part of Resolution 4 below, each of the New Directors, Mr. Ilan Ben Dov and Mr. Yahel Shachar will be granted an indemnification letter; and (ii) that these directors benefit from the Company's D&O insurance policy.

A shareholder voting, by means of a Deed of Vote, may include said notice regarding a Personal Interest on the Deed of Vote (to be submitted to the Company at least seventy two hours prior to the time of the EGM).
 
The Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR approval of these proposed resolutions.
 
ITEM 2
 
 APPROVAL AND RATIFICATION OF A “RUN-OFF” INSURANCE POLICY
FOR DIRECTORS AND OTHER OFFICE HOLDERS OF THE COMPANY
 
The Israeli Companies Law and the Company’s Articles of Association authorize the Company (subject to certain exceptions) to enter into an insurance contract, and to arrange and pay all premiums in respect of an insurance contract, for the insurance of the liability of directors and other Office Holders (as such term is defined in the Israeli Companies Law, each an "Office Holder") of the Company for liabilities he or she incurs as a result of a direct or indirect action or inaction undertaken by such person (or together with other directors or officers of the Company) in his or her capacity as a director or officer of the Company for any of the following:
 
 
  (i)
The breach of the duty of care towards the Company or towards any other person;
 
 
  (ii)
The breach of the duty of loyalty towards the Company provided that the Office Holder has acted in good faith and had reasonable grounds to assume that the action would not harm the Company;
 
 
  (iii)
A financial liability imposed on him or her in favor of another person; and
 
 
  (iv)
Any other matter in respect of which it is permitted or will be permitted under any law to insure the liability of an Office Holder in the Company.
 
The shareholders of the Company have approved on May 5, 2011 a D&O Insurance Policy (the “D&O Policy”) commencing from February 1, 2012, with a limit of up to US $50 Million covering liability of the Company's directors, officers and employees acting in their managerial and/or supervisory capacity for wrongful acts committed after October 28, 2009 (the date of acquisition of control by Scailex (the “Prior Change of Control Closing Date”)) for a period of up to three years (or for several periods, not exceeding three years in the aggregate), subject to the conditions specified in the shareholders resolution.  On January 29, 2013, upon consummation of SB Telecom’s purchase of 47,833,333 Ordinary Shares of the Company from Scailex  (the "Change of Control Transaction"), the D&O Policy then in effect was cancelled and replaced by another D&O Policy acquired pursuant to the conditions specified in the above shareholders resolution, in respect of wrongful acts committed subsequent to the Change of Control Transaction.
 
 
8

 
 
It is proposed to adopt  a “Run-Off” insurance policy for a period of seven years from the date of the Change of Control Transaction (the "Run-Off Policy") with a limit of US $50 million covering liability of the Company's directors, officers and employees acting in their managerial and/or supervisory capacity for acts, errors or omissions committed during the period between the Prior Change of Control Closing Date (October 28, 2009) and the date of closing of the Change of Control Transaction (January 29, 2013). The premium to be paid by the Company for the said seven year policy is U.S. $675,950. The terms of the Run-Off Policy equally apply to all of the Company's directors, officers and employees as aforesaid.
 
It should be noted that further to the shareholders' approval on October 22, 2009, with effect from the Prior Change of Control Closing Date (October 28, 2009), a seven year “Run-Off” insurance policy was effected with a limit of US $100 Million covering liability of the relevant directors, officers and employees of the Company for acts, errors or omissions committed prior to the Prior Change of Control Closing Date.

The Compensation Committee, the Audit Committee and the Board of Directors have resolved to approve and ratify and to recommend to the shareholders at the EGM to approve and ratify, the Run-Off Policy and resolved that the Run-Off Policy is in the best interest of the Company.

The Compensation Committee and Board of Directors have considered several factors in connection with the proposed resolutions (partly in line with recent Amendment No. 20 to the Israeli Companies Law as described above). The Directors have noted that the directors who served in that role prior to the Change of Control Transaction have a Personal Interest in this matter.

As announced in 2012 by Scailex, SB Telecom and Scailex (and their respective affiliates) are generally voting in a unified manner (according to a majority vote among them).
 
It is proposed that at the EGM the following resolutions be adopted:
 
 
(i)
“RESOLVED, to approve and ratify the Run-Off Policy and the payment of a premium therefor in the amount of  U.S. $675,950,  effective as of the consummation of the Change of Control Transaction (January 29, 2013).
 
 
(ii)
RESOLVED, that the resolution is in the best interest of the Company.”
 
The vote of the holders of a majority of the Ordinary Shares participating at the EGM and voting on the matter is required for the approval of item no. 2 on the agenda; provided, that one of the following conditions is fulfilled: (i) the majority of votes in favor of the matter shall include at least a majority of the votes of shareholders not constituting Controlling Parties in the Company, or these having a Personal Interest in the approval of this item participating in the vote; which votes shall not include abstaining votes; or (ii) the total number of objecting votes of the shareholders mentioned in clause (i) does not exceed 2% of the total voting rights in the Company.
 
 
9

 
 
 
A shareholder shall notify the Company at the address above at least seventy two hours prior to the time of the EGM, whether the shareholder has a Personal Interest in the approval of item no. 2 on the agenda or not, or the shareholder is a Controlling Party in the Company, as a condition for that shareholder's right to vote and be counted with respect to this item. A shareholder voting, by means of a Deed of Vote, may include said notice regarding a Personal Interest on the Deed of Vote (to be submitted to the Company at least seventy two hours prior to the time of the EGM).
 
The Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR approval of these proposed resolutions.
 
ITEM 3
 
AMENDMENT OF THE ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION
 
In recent years, the Israeli Companies Law has undergone extensive amendments. The Company proposes to amend its Articles of Association to reflect certain provisions of the Israeli Companies Law and regulations promulgated thereunder, certain amendments of the Israeli Securities Law of 1968 (as amended) (the “Israeli Securities Law”), and other updates.
 
The full text of the proposed amendments is annotated on the amended Articles of Association attached hereto as Annex “A”.  The summary below is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the annotated Articles of Association attached hereto as Annex "A".  The proposed amendments include the following matters:
 
 
(i)
Required Majority. Under the Israeli Companies Law, a proposed resolution shall be adopted in any shareholders meeting, if it receives an ordinary majority or any other majority of votes set by law. The Company's Articles of Association currently require a Special Majority (a 75% majority) for certain resolutions (e.g., amendment of the Articles of Association and a merger). We propose amending certain Articles (as annotated on the attached Annex "A") to conform to the Israeli Companies Law.  For the avoidance of doubt, any resolution which required a Special Majority under the Articles of Association and is so amended, shall no longer require the same Special Majority.
 
 
10

 
 
 
(ii)
Insurance.  The Israeli Securities Law was recently amended to permit a company to insure its Office Holders for (A) payment to the injured party as set forth in Section 52.54(a)(1)(a) of the Israeli Securities Law, and (B) expenses incurred in connection with a proceeding under Chapters H3, H4 or I1 of the Israeli Securities Law, or under Chapter 4 of Part 9 of the Israeli Companies Law, in connection with any affairs including reasonable legal expenses (e.g., attorney fees). We propose adding Article 33.2.5 to conform to these amendments of the Israeli Securities Law.
 
 
(iii)
Indemnification. The Israeli Companies Law was amended to permit a company to also indemnify its Office Holders for liability or expense he incurs or that is imposed on him in his capacity as an Office Holder in the Company, for reasonable legal expenses incurred by the Office Holder in connection with a financial sanction ("itzum caspi").
 
The Israeli Securities Law was recently amended to permit a company to indemnify its Office Holders for (A) payment to the injured party as set forth in Section 52.54(a)(1)(a) of the Israeli Securities Law (including by indemnification in advance); and (B) expenses incurred in connection with a proceeding under Chapters H3, H4 or I1 of the Israeli Securities Law, or under Chapter 4 of Part 9 of the Israeli Companies Law, in connection with any affairs including reasonable legal expenses (e.g., attorney fees), including by indemnification in advance.
 
We propose amending Articles 34.2 and 34.3 to conform to these amendments of the Israeli Companies Law and the Israeli Securities Law.
 
 
(iv)
Release. The Israeli Companies Law prohibits a company from releasing its Office Holders from liability resulting, inter alia, from (A) a breach of the duty of loyalty towards the company;  (B) a breach of the duty of care made intentionally or recklessly (“pezizut”) other than if made only by negligence; (C) an act intended to unlawfully yield a personal profit; (D) a fine (“knass”), a civil fine ("knass ezrahi"), a financial sanction ("itzum caspi") or a penalty ("kofer") imposed on him; and (E) the breach of the duty of care in a Distribution (“haluka”).  We propose amending Article 35.3 to conform to the Israeli Companies Law.
 
 
(v)
Prospective Legal Amendments. We wish to add a clarification to our Articles of Association stating that any amendment to the Israeli Companies Law, the Israeli Securities Law or any other applicable law adversely affecting the right of any Office Holder to be indemnified, insured or released pursuant to Articles 33 to Article 35 (inclusive), shall be prospective in effect, and shall not affect the Company’s obligation or ability to indemnify, insure or release an Office Holder for any act or omission occurring prior to such amendment, unless otherwise expressly provided under the Israeli Companies Law, the Israeli Securities Law or such other applicable law. We propose adding Article 35A to reflect this clarification.
 
 
11

 
 
 
(vi)
Shareholders Limited Liability. The Company's Articles of Association state that the liability of the shareholders of the Company is limited, each one up to the full amount the shareholder undertook to pay for the shares allotted to the shareholder, at the time of the allotment. We propose amending Article 5 mainly to clarify that the aforementioned liability is limited only to the par value of these shares, to the extent unpaid.
 
(vii)         Miscellaneous Provisions.
 
(A)            The Convening of an Extraordinary Meeting. The Israeli Companies Law allows shareholders holding alone or together (i) at least 5% of the issued share capital of the Company and at least 1% of the voting rights in the Company; or (ii) at least 5% of the voting rights in the Company, to demand the Board of Directors to convene an extraordinary shareholders meeting.  Our Articles of Association currently grants this demand right to shareholders holding at least 4.99% of the issued share capital of the Company. We propose amending Article 16.2 to conform to the Israeli Companies Law.
 
(B)            Remaining Amendments. The remaining amendments annotated on Annex "A" attached hereto.
 
The Audit Committee and Board of Directors have approved, and recommended to the shareholders at the EGM to approve, the amendments to the Articles of Association, detailed in the form annotated on Annex “A” attached hereto, and that these amendments are in the best interest of the Company.  The directors have noted that they all have a Personal Interest in the insurance,  indemnification and release Articles (items (ii) - (v) above) and the directors Messrs Shlomo Rodav, Arieh Saban, Adam Chesnoff, Fred Gluckman, Elon Shalev, Sumeet Jaisinghani, Yoav Rubinstein, Ilan Ben Dov and Yahel Shachar have noted that for the sake of being cautious they may be deemed to have a Personal Interest in the required majority amendments (item (i) above) (collectively, the “Specified Articles”).
 
As announced in 2012 by Scailex, SB Telecom and Scailex (and their respective affiliates) are generally voting in a unified manner (according to a majority vote among them).
 
 
12

 
 
 It is proposed that at the EGM the following resolutions be adopted:
 
"RESOLVED, that the amendments to the Articles of Association, substantially in the form annotated on Annex “A” attached hereto, are hereby approved, as follows:
 
(i)
with respect to the majority required for shareholders resolutions, as described in item 3(i) above;
 
(ii)  
with respect to insurance, as described in item 3(ii) above;
 
(iii) 
with respect to indemnification, as described in item 3(iii) above;
 
(iv)
with respect to release, as described in item 3(iv) above;
 
(v) 
with respect to the prospective legal amendments, as described in item 3(v) above;
 
(vi)
with respect to the shareholders limited liability, as described in item 3(vi) above; and
 
(vii) 
with respect to the miscellaneous provisions, as described in item 3(vii) above.
 
RESOLVED, that these resolutions are in the best interest of the Company.”
 
The vote of holders of at least seventy five percent (75%) of Ordinary Shares participating at the EGM and voting on the matter is required for the approval of any of items no. 3(i)-3(vii) on the agenda; provided, that solely with respect to amendment of any of the Specified Articles (items no. 3(i)-3(v) on the agenda), one of the following conditions is also fulfilled: (i) the majority of votes in favor of the matter shall include at least a majority of the votes of shareholders not having a Personal Interest in the approval of the pertinent item participating in the vote; which votes shall not include abstaining votes; or (ii) the total number of objecting votes of the shareholders mentioned in clause (i) does not exceed 2% of the total voting rights in the Company. In the event that the aforesaid seventy five percent majority is obtained but the majority specified in the proviso is not obtained with respect to any Specified Article, the amendments to the Articles of Association substantially in the form annotated on Annex “A” will be deemed approved except for such Specified Article.
 
A shareholder shall notify the Company at the address above at least seventy two hours prior to the time of the EGM, whether the shareholder has a Personal Interest in any of the Specified Articles or not, as a condition for that shareholder's right to vote and be counted with respect to said Specified Article. A shareholder voting, by means of a Deed of Vote, may include said notice regarding a Personal Interest on the Deed of Vote (to be submitted to the Company at least seventy two hours prior to the time of the EGM).
 
The Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR
approval of these proposed resolutions

ITEM 4
 
APPROVAL AND RATIFICATION OF THE GRANT OF
INDEMNIFICATION LETTERS TO DIRECTORS
 
The Israeli Companies Law and the Company’s Articles of Association authorize the Company, subject to the required approvals, to indemnify in advance directors and other Office Holders of the Company for liabilities or expenses he or she incurs, or that is imposed on him or her, as a result of action or inaction by such person (or together with other directors or officers of the Company) in his or her capacity as a director or officer of the Company. The Israeli Companies Law combined with the Israeli Securities Law authorize indemnification for:
 
 
(i)
financial liability incurred or imposed in accordance with a judgment, including a judgment given in a settlement or a judgment of an arbitrator approved by a court; provided, that such liability pertains to one or more of the events set forth in the indemnification letter, which, in the opinion of the Board of Directors of the Company, are anticipated in light of the Company’s activities at the grant of indemnification and is limited to the sum or measurement of indemnification determined by the Board of Directors to be reasonable under the circumstances and set forth in the indemnification letter;
 
 
(ii)
reasonable litigation expenses, including legal fees, incurred or ordered by a court in the context of proceedings filed by or on behalf of the Company or by a third party, or in a criminal proceeding in which the director or officer is acquitted or if convicted, for an offense which does not require criminal intent;
 
 
(iii)
reasonable litigation expenses, including legal fees incurred due to an investigation or proceeding conducted by an authority authorized to conduct such investigation or proceeding and which has ended without the filing of an indictment against the director or officer and no financial liability was imposed on the director or officer in lieu of criminal proceedings, or has ended without the filing of an indictment against the director or officer, but financial liability was imposed on the director or officer in lieu of criminal proceedings in an alleged criminal offense that does not require proof of criminal intent, within the meaning of the relevant terms in the law or in connection with financial fine (Itzum Caspi);
 
 
(iv)
Payment to the injured party as a result of a violation set forth in Section 52.54(a)(1)(a) of the Israeli Securities Law, including by indemnification in advance; and

 
(v)
Expenses incurred in connection with a proceeding (a "Proceeding" "halich") under Chapters H3, H4 or I1 of the Israeli Securities Law, or under Chapter 4 of Part 9 of the Israeli Companies Law, in connection with any affairs including reasonable legal expenses (e.g., attorney fees), including by indemnification in advance.
 
 
14

 
 
The Israeli Companies Law combined with the Israeli Securities Law provides that a company may not indemnify a director or officer for his or her liability including for: (a) a breach of duty of loyalty towards the company, unless the director or officer acted in good faith and had reasonable grounds to assume that the action would not harm the company’s best interest; (b) a breach of duty of care done intentionally or recklessly ("pezizut") except for negligence; (c) an act intended to unlawfully yield a personal profit; (d) a fine, civil fine ("knass ezrahi"), financial sanction (Itzum Caspi) or a penalty ("kofer") imposed upon the director or officer; and (v) a Proceeding ("halich").

On October 22, 2009, the shareholders of the Company approved the grant of an indemnification letter to each of the Company's then current and future directors. On May 8, 2012, the shareholders of the Company approved the grant of indemnification letters to the following directors currently serving on the Board of Directors: Dr. Michael Anghel, Mr. Barry Ben-Zeev (Woolfson), Ms. Osnat Ronen and Mr. Arie (Arik) Steinberg. The Company proposes to issue to each of (i) Mr. Shlomo Rodav, (ii) Mr. Arieh Saban, (iii) Mr. Adam Chesnoff, (iv) Mr. Fred Gluckman, (v) Mr. Elon Shalev, (vi) Mr. Sumeet Jaisinghani,  (vii) Mr. Yoav Rubinstein, (viii) Mr. Ilan Ben Dov, and (ix) Mr. Yahel Shachar, in each case, serving (including prior to the date thereof) as the Company's director, or as a director or officer on behalf of the Company in other companies (each, an “Indemnified Person”) a new Indemnification Letter substantially in the form attached hereto as Annex “B” (the “Indemnification Letter”).
 
As previously approved, the aggregate indemnification amount payable by the Company to all the directors, officers and other indemnified persons pursuant to all letters of indemnification issued or that may be issued to them by the Company in the future will not exceed the higher of (i) 25% of shareholders equity and (ii) 25% of market capitalization, each as measured at the time of indemnification (the "Maximum Indemnity Amount"). The Indemnification Letter is annotated to show changes made from the version of the Indemnification Letter approved by the shareholders on May 8, 2012, (A) to clarify the calculation method of the Maximum Indemnity Amount, and (B) to state that an Indemnified Person shall repay to Partner any amount received pursuant to the Indemnification Letter, which is based on data or financial results that will later be found to be erroneous and restated in Partner's financial statements. The description herein is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the annotated proposed Indemnification Letter.
 
The Compensation Committee and Board of Directors have considered several factors in connection with the proposed resolutions (partly in line with recent Amendment No. 20 to the Israeli Companies Law as described above).
 
For the avoidance of doubt, in the event that at the EGM any of item 4(viii) or 4(ix) below will not be adopted, the current indemnification letter granted to the pertinent director holding indemnification letters (Mr. Ilan Ben Dov or Mr. Yahel Shachar) is not substituted by the Indemnification Letter proposed for that director.
 
The Compensation Committee, the Audit Committee and the Board of Directors of the Company have approved and ratified, and recommended to the shareholders at the EGM to approve and ratify, the grant of the Indemnification Letter to each Indemnified Person, resolved that the Maximum Indemnity Amount is reasonable given the circumstances and that the indemnification events listed on Schedule I of the Indemnification Letter are anticipated in light of Partner's current activities, and resolved that such resolutions are in the best interest of the Company. The directors have noted that the directors who are Indemnified Persons have a Personal Interest in this matter.

ITEM 5
 
APPROVAL AND RATIFICATION AS A “FRAMEWORK TRANSACTION”
OF AN EXTENSION OF THE AGREEMENT TO PURCHASE HANDSETS,
ACCESSORIES, SPARE PARTS AND REPAIR SERVICES FROM SCAILEX
 
The shareholders of the Company have approved and ratified on May 5 2011, as a framework transaction, an agreement with Scailex to purchase, from time to time, cellular handsets, accessories and spare parts manufactured by Samsung (the “Products”) that are imported to and marketed in Israel by Scailex, for repair services of such Products and additional commercial arrangements between Scailex and the Company regarding annual purchase volumes of the Products and annual gross profit margin of Scailex from transactions with the Company (the “Existing Samsung Products Agreement”).

The main terms of the Existing Samsung Products Agreement, as approved by the shareholders, are detailed below:
 
 
1.
The term of the Existing Samsung Products Agreement was for the period of two years, commencing on January 1, 2011.
 
 
17

 
 
 
2.
The Products' prices in each order should be determined by negotiation between the parties.

 
3.
The aggregate and cumulative annual gross profit margin of Scailex from transactions with the Company regarding each group of products between the parties, namely cellular handsets, accessories or spare parts (the “Partner Gross Profit Margin”) should not exceed Scailex' average gross profit margin from the same group of products with entities in which Scailex is not an interested party, during the same calendar year in which the transactions were carried out (“Average Gross Profit Margin”).

If the Partner Gross Profit Margin from any group of products exceeds the Average Gross Profit Margin from the same group of products, Scailex shall credit the Company in such sum which will equal Partner Gross Profit Margin and the Average Gross Profit Margin from transactions of the same group of products.

Scailex should deliver to the Company, for each calendar year, within 30 days following the end of such calendar year, a confirmation letter from an accountant whose identity will be agreed upon between Partner and Scailex, confirming, following review of all required material, that the Partner Gross Profit Margin related to the transactions of each group of products does not exceed the Average Gross Profit Margin related to the same group of products.

 
4.
The total volume of the transactions between Scailex and the Company in each calendar year should not exceed NIS 550 million (excluding VAT), and, and in addition, will not exceed 40% of the total cost of the Products purchased by the Company in a calendar year. The Company is not committed to acquisitions at this scope and is free to conduct acquisitions at its discretion according to its marketing needs.

The shareholders approved the Existing Samsung Products Agreement subject to certain conditions reported previously.

Since approval of the Existing Samsung Products Agreement, the global cellular market and the market in Israel have significantly evolved and Samsung's global and Israeli market share has materially increased on account of other vendors. As a result, Partner expects that it will need to purchase similar or higher quantities of Smart-phones and other sophisticated Samsung products, which the Company cannot acquire in sufficient quantities from other suppliers. Consequently, the Company wishes to extend the Existing Samsung Products Agreement, to allow the Company to acquire sufficient Products to address its (and its clients’) growing demand and needs and the Company would like to extend the Existing Samsung Products Agreement (the “Extended Samsung Products Agreement”) as detailed below:

 
1.
The term of the Extended Samsung Products Agreement shall be for the period of two years, commencing on January 1, 2013. Any extension of said term is subject to receipt of all the approvals needed by law from the relevant Company's organs.

 
18

 

 
2.
The total volume of the transactions between Scailex and the Company in each calendar year shall not exceed NIS 550 million (excluding VAT), and in addition, will not exceed 40% of the total cost of the Products purchased by Partner in that calendar year. The Company is not committed to acquisitions at this scope and is free to conduct acquisitions at its discretion according to its marketing needs.

 
3.
No change is made to the terms of the Existing Samsung Products Agreement.

 
4.
The Extended Samsung Products Agreement shall become effective upon approval of shareholders at the EGM.
 
The Audit Committee and the Board of Directors approved the entry by the Company into the Extended Samsung Products Agreement in accordance with the following conditions substantially similar to the conditions for the Existing Samsung Products Agreement) (the “Extended Conditions”):

 
1.
The persons in charge of handsets procurement in the Company shall examine the prices of the Products offered to the Company by Scailex (including, without limitation, in Internet sales, by comparison to other suppliers of the Products and the prices in other markets in the world) and then evaluate their market prices, which will constitute the basis of negotiating their prices with Scailex. The Products will be purchased from Scailex on market terms for such purchases.

 
2.
The Company will bring to approval or ratification by the Audit Committee the procurement requirement each time it convenes (at least twice in each calendar quarter); provided, that a procurement requirement exceeding Partner's materiality threshold will also be brought for approval by the Board of Directors.

The Audit Committee and the Board of Directors of the Company have noted the Personal Interest in the Extended Samsung Products Agreement of Mr. Ben Dov (the controlling person in Suny Electronics Ltd., the controlling party in Scailex) and, for the sake of caution, of Mr. Shachar (a Director in the Company and the CEO of Scailex and Suny Electronics Ltd.) and the New Directors (appointed by SB Telecom).

    Regulations promulgated under the Israeli Companies Law determine that no shareholder approval is required for an Extraordinary Transaction between a public company and its Controlling Party (A) which is on market terms and in the ordinary course of business of such company and which does not harm the interest of such company; or (B) which extends an existing approved transaction, where no substantive changes have occurred in the transaction terms and other pertinent circumstances.
 
 
19

 

     The Audit Committee and the Board of Directors have resolved that (A) under the circumstances and upon the conditions above, the transaction with Scailex is deemed to be a transaction of a public company in which its Controlling Party has a Personal Interest, and the transaction is on market terms, in the ordinary course of business of the Company and in the best interest of the Company; and (B) that the Extended Samsung Products Agreement is an extension of the Existing Samsung Products Agreement and is on the same terms. Consequently, no approval by the shareholders of the resolutions below is required. Nevertheless, for the sake of being cautious and due to the anticipated scope of the Extended Samsung Products Agreement and the aforementioned voting agreement between SB Telecom and Scailex, the Company is bringing these resolutions to shareholders approval as an Extraordinary Transaction in which a Controlling Party has a Personal Interest.

As announced in 2012 by Scailex, SB Telecom and Scailex (and their respective affiliates) are generally voting in a unified manner (according to a majority vote among them).
 
    It is proposed that at the EGM the following resolutions be adopted:
 
 
(i)
RESOLVED, that the Extended Samsung Products Agreement with Scailex, is hereby approved and ratified as a “framework transaction”. Accordingly, the Company may, from time to time, with effect from January 1, 2013, and for a period of two years, purchase Products and/or repair services from Scailex, on the terms and conditions set out in the Extended Samsung Products Agreement, in an aggregate amount in each calendar year not exceeding NIS 550 million (excluding VAT)), and in addition, will not exceed 40% of the total cost of the Products purchased by Partner in that calendar year.

RESTRICTIONS ON VOTING RIGHTS
 
Partner conducts its operations pursuant to licenses granted to Partner by the Minister of Communications of the State of Israel. Partner’s Articles of Association and, with respect to shareholders other than shareholders of Partner prior to its public offering, Partner’s General License for the Provision of Mobile Radio Telephone Services using the Cellular Method in Israel dated April 7, 1998, as amended (the “License”) contain provisions that may cause the suspension of voting rights of the holders of Ordinary Shares or ADSs if such voting rights would breach the ownership limits contained in the License. These limits prohibit the transfer or acquisition of 10% or more of Partner’s means of control and acquisition of control of the Company without the consent of the Minister of Communications of Israel, and restrict cross-control and cross-ownership of other mobile telephone operators in Israel, and shareholdings and agreements which may reduce or harm competition. Ordinary Shares or Ordinary Shares represented by ADSs held in breach of these limits may be considered dormant shares. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Proxy Statement, dormant shares will not bear any rights to which the holders would otherwise be entitled, other than the right to receive dividends and other distributions to shareholders (including the right to participate in rights offerings). Specifically, the holders of dormant shares will not have voting rights with respect to their dormant shares, nor will they have the right to participate in general meetings of shareholders. Under certain licenses granted, directly or indirectly, to Partner, approval of, or notice to, the Minister of Communications of the State of Israel may be required for holding of 5% or more of Partner's means of control.
 
Any shareholder seeking to vote at the EGM must notify the Company prior to the vote, or, if the vote is by Deed of Vote, must so indicate on the Deed of Vote, if any of the shareholder’s holdings in Partner or the shareholder’s vote requires the consent of the Minister of Communications due to a breach by the shareholder of the restrictions on the transfer or acquisition of means of control or acquisition of control of Partner, or the provisions regarding cross-ownership or cross-control of other mobile telephone operators in Israel, in each case as specified in Sections 21 and 23 of Partner’s License (a translation of Sections 21-24 of the License is attached hereto as Annex “C"). If a shareholder does not provide such notification, the shareholder shall not vote and, if the shareholder has voted, his or her vote shall not be counted.

44.4.2.2.
the Board of Directors may seek to identify those Relevant Shares  which gave rise to the determination under Article 44.4.1 and by a resolution passed by a majority of 75 per cent or more of the Directors present and voting at the relevant meeting deal with such Shares as Affected Shares; and
 
 
44.4.2.3.
when the aggregate number of Relevant Shares in the Relevant Shares Register exceeds the Permitted Maximum, the Board of Directors may deal with the Relevant Shares which it decides, by a resolution passed by a majority of 75 per cent or more of the Directors present and voting at the relevant meeting, are in excess of the Permitted Maximum as Affected Shares.
 
 
A - 56

 
 
 
44.5.
The Board of Directors shall give an Affected Share Notice to the registered holder of any Affected Share and state that Article 44.6 is to be applied forthwith in respect of such Affected Share.

44.7.
In deciding which Shares are to be treated as Affected Shares, the Board of Directors shall have regard to the Relevant Shares which in its opinion have directly or indirectly caused the determination under Article 44.4 and the chronological order in which Relevant Shares have been entered in the  Relevant Shares Register (and accordingly treat as Affected Shares those Relevant Shares entered in the Relevant Shares Register most recently) except where such criterion would in their opinion be inequitable, in which event the Board of Directors shall apply such other criterion or criteria as they may consider appropriate.
 
 
44.8.
Subject to the other provisions of this Article 44, the Board of Directors shall be entitled to assume without enquiry that:
 
 
44.8.1.
all Shares not in the Relevant Shares Register and not falling within clause 44.8.2 are neither Relevant Shares nor Shares which would be or be capable of being treated as Affected Shares; and
 
 
44.8.2.

44.9.

44.10.2.
The  Board of Directors shall, so long as it acts reasonably and in good faith, be under no liability to the Company or to any other person for failing to treat any Share as an Affected Share or any person as a Relevant Person in accordance with this Article and it shall not be liable to the Company or any other person if, having acted reasonably and in good faith it determines erroneously that any Share is an Affected Share, or any person is a Relevant Person or on the basis of such determination or any other determination or resolution, they perform or exercise their duties, powers, rights or discretions under this Article in relation to such Share.
 
 
44.11.
A person who has an interest in Shares by virtue of having an interest in Depositary Receipts shall be deemed to have an interest in the number of Shares represented by such Depositary Receipts and not (in the absence of any other reason why he should be so treated) in the remainder of the Depositary Shares held by the relevant Depositary.

1.1.
Financial liability that you incur or is imposed on you in accordance with a judgment, including a judgment given in a settlement or a judgment of an arbitrator approved by the court; provided, that such liability pertain to one or more of the events set out in Schedule I hereto, which, in the opinion of the Board of Directors of Partner, are anticipated in light of Partner's activities at the time of granting this undertaking and are at the sum or measurement of indemnification determined by the Board of Directors to be reasonable given the circumstances set forth herein;

 
1.2.
Reasonable litigation expenses, including legal fees, that you may incur or for which you will be ordered to pay by a court in the context of proceedings filed against you by or on behalf of Partner or by a third party, or in a criminal proceeding in which you are acquitted or if you are convicted, for an offense which does not require criminal intent; and

 
1.3.
Reasonable litigation expenses, including legal fees that you may incur due to an investigation or proceeding conducted against you by an authority authorized to conduct such investigation or proceeding and which has ended without the filing of an indictment against you and either (i) no financial liability was imposed on you in lieu of criminal proceedings, or (ii) financial liability was imposed on you in lieu of criminal proceedings but the alleged criminal offense does not require proof of criminal intent, within the meaning of the relevant terms in or in the law referred to in the Israeli Companies Law of 1999 (the “Israeli Companies Law”), or in relation to a financial sanction ("itzum caspi").
 
 
 

 
 
 
1.4.
Payment to the harmed party as a result of a violation set forth in Section 52.54(a)(1)(a) ((52נד(א)(1)(א) of the Israeli Securities Law of 1968 (the "Israeli Securities Law"), including by indemnification in advance.
 
 
1.5.
Expenses incurred in connection with a Procedure ("halich"), as defined in Section 56.8(a)(1) (56ח(א)(1)) of the Israeli Securities Law (a "Procedure"), in connection with any of your affairs including, without limitation, reasonable litigation expenses, including legal fees, including by indemnification in advance.
 
 
1.6.
Any other liability or expense indemnifiable under any applicable law.
 
2.
Partner may not indemnify you for your liability for: (i) a breach of duty of loyalty towards Partner unless you have acted in good faith and had reasonable grounds to assume that the action would not harm Partner's best interest; (ii) a breach of duty of care done intentionally or recklessly ("pzizut") except for negligence; (iii) an act intended to unlawfully yield a personal profit; (iv) a fine, a civil fine ("knass ezrahi"), a financial sanction ("itzum caspi") or a penalty ("kofer") imposed upon you; and (v)  a Procedure ("halich").
 
Upon the occurrence of an event for which you may be entitled to be indemnified, subject to the terms of this letter (including the limitations as to amount in Section 3.13) and any laws applicable at such time, Partner shall provide you with the necessary payments to cover all your expenses in respect of the legal proceedings in question, so that you will not have to pay for or finance them yourself.

3.
Indemnification pursuant to this letter will be subject to applicable law and to the following terms and conditions:

 
3.1.
That you notify Partner within a reasonable time of your learning of any legal proceedings instigated against you in connection with any event that may give rise to indemnification and that you provide Partner, or anyone specified by Partner, with any documents connected to the proceeding in question.
 
 
3.2.
That Partner reserves the right to represent you in the proceedings or to appoint legal counsel of its choice for this purpose (unless its choice of legal counsel is unacceptable to you on reasonable grounds). Partner or such legal counsel will take all necessary steps to bring the matter to a close and will keep you informed of key steps in the process.  The appointed counsel will be bound by a fiduciary duty to you and to Partner. If a conflict of interests should arise between the appointed counsel and yourself, counsel will inform Partner and you will be entitled to appoint a different counsel reasonably acceptable to Partner and the terms of this indemnification agreement shall apply to the new appointment. If Partner should decide to settle by arbitration or by mediation or by settlement, it shall be allowed to do so; provided, that you do not incur any additional expense or liability due to such arbitration, mediation or settlement or that you have otherwise agreed to such arbitration, mediation or settlement. If Partner so requests, you will sign any document that will empower it or any appointed counsel to represent you and defend you in any proceeding as stated above. You will cooperate as reasonably demanded of you with Partner and any appointed legal counsel. Partner shall cover all related expenses so that you will not have to make any payments or incur any expenses yourself.
 
 
B - 1

 
 
 
3.3.
That whether or not Partner shall operate in accordance with section 3.2 above, indemnification shall still cover all and every kind of expense incurred by you that is included in section 1 of this letter so that you will not have to pay or finance them yourself.  You will not be indemnified for any expenses arising from a settlement, mediation or arbitration unless Partner has agreed to the settlement, mediation or arbitration.

 
3.4.
That upon your request for payment in connection with any event according to this indemnification letter, Partner shall complete all the necessary arrangements required by the law for payment and shall act to receive all necessary authorizations, if demanded. If any authorization should be required for payment, and the payment is not authorized for any reason, this payment or part of it will be subject to the approval of the court (if relevant) and Partner shall act in order to receive authorization.

 
3.5.
That in the event that you are paid for any sums in accordance with this letter of indemnification in connection with a legal proceeding, and later it becomes clear that you were not entitled to such payments, the sums will be considered as a loan given to you by Partner subject to the lowest interest rate for purposes of Section 3(9) of the Income Tax Ordinance (or any other legislation replacing it) which does not cause a taxable benefit. You shall be required to repay such amounts in accordance with the payment arrangements fixed by Partner, and at such time as Partner shall request in writing.

 
3.6
That you shall remain entitled to indemnification by Partner as provided in this letter of indemnification even when you are no longer an officer or director in Partner or in a Subsidiary on Partner’s behalf, as long as the events that led to the payments, costs and expenses for which indemnification is being sought are a result of an action or an inaction taken by you as such officer or director.
 
 
3.7
The terms contained in this letter will be construed in accordance with the Israeli Companies Law and in the absence of any definition in the Israeli Companies Law, pursuant to the Israeli Securities Law. Schedule I hereto constitutes an integral part hereof.
 
 
3.8
The obligations of Partner under this letter shall be interpreted broadly and in a manner that shall facilitate its implementation, to the fullest extent permitted by law, including, ipso facto, as further expanded in the future, and for the purposes for which it was intended. Without derogating from the generality of the foregoing, it is clarified that with respect to any expansion of indemnification that is currently, or will in the future be, permitted by law following incorporation of specific provisions in Partner’s Articles of Association, such expansion be in effect ipso facto even prior to such incorporation, based on Article 34.1 of the Articles of Association, which allows indemnification to the fullest extent permitted by law. In the event of a conflict between any provision of this letter and any provision of the law that cannot be superseded, changed or amended, said provision of the law shall supersede the specific provision in this letter, but shall not limit or diminish the validity of the remaining provisions of this letter.
 
 
B - 2

 
 
 
3.9
The indemnification under this letter will enter into effect upon your signing a copy of the same in the appropriate place, and the delivery of such signed copy to Partner. It is hereby agreed that your agreement to accept this letter constitutes your irrevocable agreement that any previous undertaking of Partner for indemnification towards you, to the extent granted, shall become void automatically upon your signing this letter. Notwithstanding the above, if this letter shall be declared or found void for any reason whatsoever, then any previous undertaking of Partner for indemnification towards you, which this letter is intended to replace, shall remain in full force and effect.
 
 
3.10
Partner may, in its sole discretion and at any time, revoke its undertaking to indemnify hereunder, or reduce the Maximum Indemnity Amount (as defined in section 3.13 below) thereunder, or limit the events to which it applies, either in regard to all the officers or to some of them, to the extent such change or revocation relates solely to events that occur after the date of such change; provided, that prior notice has been given to you of its intention to do so, in writing, at least 60 days before the date on which its decision will enter into effect. No such decision will have a retroactive effect of any kind whatsoever, and the letter of indemnification prior to such change or revocation, as the case may be, will continue to apply and be in full force and effect for all purposes in relation to any event that occurred prior to such change or revocation, even if the proceeding in respect thereof is filed against you after the change or revocation of the letter of indemnification. In all other cases, this letter may not be changed unless Partner and you have agreed in writing.
 
 
3.11
This undertaking to indemnify is not a contract for the benefit of any third party, including any insurer, and is not assignable nor will any insurer have the right to demand participation of Partner in any payment for which an insurer is made liable under any insurance agreement that has been made with it, with the exception of the deductible specified in such agreement. For the avoidance of any doubt in the event of death this letter will apply to you and your estate.
 
 
3.12
No  waiver, delay, forbearance to act or extension granted by Partner or by you will be construed in any circumstance as a waiver of the rights hereunder or by law, and will not prevent any such party from taking all legal and other steps as will be required in order to enforce such rights.
 
 
3.13
The aggregate indemnification amount payable by Partner to all directors, officers and other indemnified persons pursuant to all letters of indemnification issued or that may be issued to them by Partner in the future (including, inter alia, to officers and directors nominated on behalf of Partner in Subsidiaries), will not exceed the higher of (i) 25% of shareholders equity (according to the latest reviewed or audited financial statements approved by Partner's Board of Directors prior to approval of the indemnification payment); and (ii) 25% of market capitalization (, each as measured at the time of approval of the indemnification payment by the Board of Directors), according to the average market capitalization in the 30 trading days immediately preceding the Board of Director's resolution) (the “Maximum Indemnity Amount”).
 
 
B - 3

 
 
 
3.14
The Maximum Indemnity Amount shall not be affected in any way by the existence of, or payment under, insurance policies. Payment of the indemnification shall not affect your right to receive insurance payments, if you receive the same (either personally or through Partner or on your behalf) and Partner will not be required to indemnity you for any sums that were, in fact, already paid to you or for you in respect of insurance or any other indemnification obligations made to you by any third party.  In the event there is any payment made under this letter and such payment is covered by an insurance policy, Partner shall be entitled to collect such amount of payment from the insurance proceeds. You will return to Partner any amount that you may receive pursuant to this letter, which is based on data or financial results that will later on be found to be erroneous and will be restated in Partner's financial statements, as will be implemented by Partner's Board of Directors.
 
 
3.15
In the event the indemnification amount Partner is required to pay to its directors and other indemnified persons, as mentioned in section 1 above, exceeds at any time the Maximum Indemnity Amount or the balance of the Maximum Indemnity Amount in accordance with section 3.13 above after deducting any indemnification amounts paid or payable by Partner to any of its directors or other indemnified persons at such time, such Maximum Indemnification Amount or such remaining balance will be allocated among the directors and the other indemnified persons entitled to indemnification, in the same ratio as with respect to any event the amount for which each individual directors or other indemnified persons may be indemnified is to the aggregate amount that all of the relevant directors and other indemnified persons involved in the event may be indemnified.
 
 
3.16
The foregoing does not derogate from Partner's right to indemnify you retroactively in accordance with that permitted by the Articles of Association of Partner and applicable law.
 
You should be aware that, insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the United States Securities Act of 1933 (the “U.S. Securities Act”) may be permitted to Partner’s directors and officers, Partner has been advised that in the opinion of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the U.S. Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event of a claim for such indemnification, Partner will (in accordance with an undertaking given to the SEC), unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the U.S. Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

[INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK]
 
 
B - 4

 
 
The law of the State of Israel shall govern this Letter of Indemnification and all issues related thereto, without giving effect to any conflicts of law principles. The courts in Tel Aviv, Israel shall have the exclusive local and international jurisdiction, in connection with this Letter of Indemnification, except if an indemnification claim is related to a legal proceeding, already filed by a third party in a different court.

Respectfully,

______________________
On behalf of                                                                                                                                    
Partner Communications Company Ltd.
 
I accept the terms and conditions of the above. I am aware that my agreement to accept this letter constitutes my irrevocable agreement that any previous undertakings of Partner for indemnification, to the extent granted, should become void automatically upon my signing this letter. Notwithstanding the above, if this indemnification letter shall be void for any reason whatsoever, then, any previous undertaking of Partner for indemnification towards me shall remain in full force and effect.

23.2
Notwithstanding the provisions of Paragraph 23.1, the Minister may, based upon written request, permit an Office Holder in the Licensee to serve as an Office Holder in an Interested Party in a Competing MRT Operator, or permit an Office Holder in an Interested Party in the Licensee to serve as an Office Holder in a Competing MRT Operator or in an Interested Party in a Competing MRT Operator, if he is satisfied, that this will not harm the competition in MRT Services;  the Minister may condition the granting of such permit on conditions that the Office Holder must fulfill for prevention of harm to the competition as aforesaid.

23.5
The rate of indirect holding in a corporation will be a product of the percentage of holdings  in each stage of the chain of ownership, subject to what is set out in Paragraph 23.6; for example:
 
 
(A)
‘A’ holds 40% in Company ‘B’;
 
 
(B)
Company ‘B’ holds 40% in Company ‘C’;
 
 
(C)
Company ‘C’ holds 25% in Company ‘D’;
 
 
(D)
Therefore, Company ‘A’ holds, indirectly, 4% of Company ‘D’.

23.6
For the matter of this Paragraph and Paragraphs 14.1 (G) (6), (7), (8), (8a), (9) and 21.4, if a certain body (hereinafter: “the Controlling Body”) controls another body that has holdings, directly or indirectly, in the Licensee (hereinafter: “the Controlled Body”), the Controlling Body, and also any other body controlled by the Controlling Body, will be attributed with the rate of holdings in the Licensee that the Controlled Body has, directly or indirectly; according to the following examples:
 
 
A.
Direct holdings:
 
 
(1)
‘A’ holds 50% in Company ‘B’, and controls it;
 
 
(2)
Company ‘B’ holds 50% in Company ‘C’, and controls it;
 
 
(3)
Company ‘C’ holds 10% in the Licensee and does not control it;
 
 
(4)
Therefore, notwithstanding that ‘A’s’ holdings in the Licensee in accordance with the instructions of Paragraph 5.6 are 2.5%, ‘A’ and also any body controlled by ‘A’ will be deemed as an Interested Party holding 10% in the Licensee.

‘A’ holds 50% of Company ‘B’ and controls it;
 
 
(2)

(3)
Company ‘C’ holds 40% of Company ‘D’ and does not control it;
 
 
(4)
Company ‘D’ holds 40% of the Licensee and does not control it;
 
 
(5)
Therefore, ‘A’ and any body controlled by ‘A’ will be regarded as having a holding in the Licensee at the rate of holdings of Company ‘C’ in the Licensee, which is holdings of 16% (according to the method set out in Paragraph 23.5 for the calculation of the rate of indirect holdings in the absence of control), and in this manner, ‘A’ and any body controlled by ‘A’ is an Interested Party in the Licensee.

23.7
If a certain body has indirect holding in the Licensee, through two or more Interested Parties, then for the purpose of its definition as an Interested Party, and for the purpose of determining the rate of holding with regard to this Paragraph, the greatest indirect rate of holding will be taken into account, and also any rate of holding that derives from the chain of holdings through which the said holding body is attributed with the holdings of corporations controlled by it in accordance with the provisions of Paragraph 23.6;  the rates of holdings that derive from two or more chains that will be taken into account as stated above, will be cumulative for the purpose of calculating the rate of holdings.

 The Company wishes to adopt a “Run-Off” insurance policy (the "Run-Off Policy") for seven years from January 29, 2013 (the date of consummation of SB Telecom’s purchase of 47,833,333 Ordinary Shares of the Company from Scailex (the "Change of Control Transaction")) with a limit of US $50 million covering liability of the Company's directors, officers and employees acting in their managerial and/or supervisory capacity for acts, errors or omissions committed during the period between October 28, 2009 (the date of acquisition of control by Scailex) and January 29, 2013 (the date of Change of Control Transaction). The premium to be paid by the Company for the said seven year policy is U.S. $675,950. The terms of the Run-Off Policy equally apply to all of the Company's directors, officers and employees as aforesaid.

The Compensation Committee, the Audit Committee and the Board of Directors have resolved to approve and ratify and to recommend to the shareholders at the EGM to approve and ratify, the Run-Off Policy and resolved that the Run-Off Policy is in the best interest of the Company.
 
The Directors have noted that the directors who served in that role prior to the Change of Control Transaction have a Personal Interest in this matter.
 
It is proposed that at the EGM the following resolutions be adopted:
 
 
(i)
“RESOLVED, to approve and ratify the Run-Off Policy and the payment of a premium therefor in the amount of  U.S. $675,950,  effective as of the consummation of the Change of Control Transaction (January 29, 2013).
 
 
(ii)
RESOLVED, that the resolution is in the best interest of the Company.”

Approval of Amendments to certain Provisions of the Company’s Articles of Association.
 
In recent years, the Israeli Companies Law has undergone extensive amendments. The Company proposes to amend its Articles of Association to reflect certain provisions of the Israeli Companies Law and regulations promulgated thereunder, certain amendments of the Israeli Securities Law of 1968 (as amended) (the “Israeli Securities Law”), and other updates.

        The full text of the proposed amendments is annotated on the amended Articles of Association attached to the Proxy Statement distributed with this Deed of Vote (the “Proxy Statement”). The proposed amendments are also described in the Proxy Statement and include amendments of certain articles related to (i) the required majority for certain shareholders resolutions, (ii) insurance of our Office Holders, (iii) indemnification of our Office Holders, (iv) release of our Office Holders, (v) prospective legal amendments, (vi) shareholders limited liability clarification, and (vii) other miscellaneous amendments.
 
The Audit Committee and Board of Directors have approved, and recommended to the shareholders at the EGM to approve, the amendments to the Articles of Association, detailed in the form annotated on Annex “A” attached to the Proxy Statement, and that these amendments are in the best interest of the Company.  The directors have noted that they all have a Personal Interest in the insurance,  indemnification and release Articles (items (3)(ii) – (3)(v) on the agenda) and the directors Messrs Shlomo Rodav, Arieh Saban, Adam Chesnoff, Fred Gluckman, Elon Shalev, Sumeet Jaisinghani, Yoav Rubinstein, Ilan Ben Dov and Yahel Shachar have noted that for the sake of being cautious they may be deemed to have a Personal Interest in the required majority amendments (item (3)(i) on the agenda(.
 
  It is proposed that at the EGM the following resolutions be adopted:
 
"RESOLVED, that the amendments to the Articles of Association, substantially in the form annotated on Annex “A” attached to the Proxy Statement, are hereby approved, as follows:
 
(i)  
with respect to the majority required for shareholders resolutions, as described in item 3(i) on the agenda;

Approval and Ratification of the Grant of Indemnification Letters to the following Directors: (i) Mr. Shlomo Rodav, (ii) Mr. Arieh Saban, (iii) Mr. Adam Chesnoff, (iv) Mr. Fred Gluckman, (v) Mr. Elon Shalev, (vi) Mr. Sumeet Jaisinghani,  (vii) Mr. Yoav Rubinstein, (viii) Mr. Ilan Ben Dov, and (ix) Mr. Yahel Shachar.
 
The Israeli Companies Law and the Company’s Articles of Association authorize the Company, subject to the required approvals, to indemnify in advance directors and other Office Holders of the Company for liabilities or expenses he or she incurs, as a result of action or inaction by such person (or together with other directors or officers of the Company) in his or her capacity as a director or officer of the Company for certain liabilities, as described in the Proxy Statement.
 
On October 22, 2009, the shareholders of the Company approved the grant of an indemnification letter to each of the Company's then current and future directors. On May 8, 2012, the shareholders of the Company approved the grant of indemnification letters to several directors currently serving on the Board of Directors. The Company proposes to issue to each of (i) Mr. Shlomo Rodav, (ii) Mr. Arieh Saban, (iii) Mr. Adam Chesnoff, (iv) Mr. Fred Gluckman, (v) Mr. Elon Shalev, (vi) Mr. Sumeet Jaisinghani,  (vii) Mr. Yoav Rubinstein, (viii) Mr. Ilan Ben Dov, and (ix) Mr. Yahel Shachar, in each case, serving (including prior to the date thereof) as the Company's director, or as a director or officer on behalf of the Company in other companies (each, an “Indemnified Person”) a new Indemnification Letter substantially in the form attached to the Proxy Statement as Annex “B” (the “Indemnification Letter”).
 
As previously approved, the aggregate indemnification amount payable by the Company to all the directors, officers and other indemnified persons pursuant to all letters of indemnification issued or that may be issued to them by the Company in the future will not exceed the higher of (i) 25% of shareholders equity and (ii) 25% of market capitalization, each as measured at the time of indemnification (the "Maximum Indemnity Amount"). The Indemnification Letter is annotated to show changes made from the version of the Indemnification Letter approved by the shareholders on May 8, 2012 (A) to clarify the calculation method of the Maximum Indemnity Amount, and (B) to state that an Indemnified Person shall repay to Partner any amount received pursuant to the Indemnification Letter, which is based on data or financial results that will later be found to be erroneous and restated in Partner's financial statements.
 
For the avoidance of doubt, in the event that at the EGM any of item 4(viii) or 4(ix) below will not be adopted, the current indemnification letter granted to the pertinent director holding indemnification letters (Mr. Ilan Ben Dov or Mr. Yahel Shachar) is not substituted by the Indemnification Letter proposed for that director.
 
 
- 5 -

 
 
The Compensation Committee, the Audit Committee and the Board of Directors of the Company have approved and ratified, and recommended to the shareholders at the EGM to approve and ratify, the grant of the Indemnification Letter to each Indemnified Person, resolved that the Maximum Indemnity Amount is reasonable given the circumstances and that the indemnification events listed on Schedule I of the Indemnification Letter are anticipated in light of Partner's current activities, and resolved that such resolutions are in the best interest of the Company. The directors have noted that the directors who are Indemnified Persons have a Personal Interest in this matter.
 
It is proposed that at the EGM the following resolutions be adopted:
 
 
(i)
RESOLVED, to approve and ratify the Company’s undertaking to indemnify Mr. Shlomo Rodav and to provide him with an Indemnification Letter;
 
 
(ii)

Approval and Ratification as a “Framework Transaction” of an Extension of the Agreement to Purchase Handsets, Accessories, Spare Parts and Repair Services  from Scailex Corporation Ltd.
 
The shareholders of the Company have approved and ratified on May 5 2011, as a framework transaction, an agreement with Scailex to purchase, from time to time, cellular handsets, accessories and spare parts manufactured by Samsung (the “Products”) that are imported to and marketed in Israel by Scailex, for repair services of such Products and additional commercial arrangements between Scailex and the Company regarding annual purchase volumes of the Products and annual gross profit margin of Scailex from transactions with the Company (the “Existing Samsung Products Agreement”). The main terms of the Existing Samsung Products Agreement (as approved by the shareholders) are detailed in the Proxy Statement.
 
        The shareholders approved the Existing Samsung Products Agreement subject to certain conditions reported previously.
 
        Since approval of the Existing Samsung Products Agreement, the global cellular market and the market in Israel have significantly evolved and Samsung’s global and Israeli market share has materially increased on account of other vendors. As a result, Partner expects that it will need to purchase similar or higher quantities of Smart-phones and other sophisticated Samsung products which the Company cannot acquire in sufficient quantities from other suppliers. Consequently, the Company wishes to extend the Existing Samsung Products Agreement, to allow the Company to acquire sufficient Products to address its (and its clients’) growing demand and needs and the Company would like to extend the Existing Samsung Products Agreement (the “Extended Samsung Products Agreement”). The main terms of the Extended Samsung Products Agreement are detailed in the Proxy Statement.
 
   The Audit Committee and the Board of Directors approved the entry by the Company into the Extended Samsung Products Agreement in accordance with the conditions detailed in the Proxy Statement, which are substantially similar to the conditions for the Existing Samsung Products Agreement).
 
The Audit Committee and the Board of Directors of the Company have noted the Personal Interest in the Extended Samsung Products Agreement of Mr. Ben Dov (the controlling person in Suny Electronics Ltd., the controlling party in Scailex) and, for the sake of caution, of Mr. Shachar (a Director in the Company and the CEO of Scailex and Suny Electronics Ltd.) and the New Directors (appointed by SB Telecom).
 
 
- 7 -

 
 
    The Audit Committee and the Board of Directors have resolved that (A) under the circumstances and upon the conditions above, the transaction with Scailex is deemed to be a transaction of a public company in which its Controlling Party has a Personal Interest, and the transaction is on market terms, in the ordinary course of business of the Company and in the best interest of the Company; and (B) that the Extended Samsung Products Agreement is an extension of the Existing Samsung Products Agreement and is on the same terms. For the sake of being cautious and due to the anticipated scope of the Extended Samsung Products Agreement and the aforementioned voting agreement between SB Telecom and Scailex, the Company is bringing these resolutions to shareholders approval as an Extraordinary Transaction in which a Controlling Party has a Personal Interest.
 
It is proposed that at the EGM the following resolutions be adopted:
 
 
(i)
RESOLVED, that the Extended Samsung Products Agreement with Scailex, is hereby approved and ratified as a “framework transaction”. Accordingly, the Company may, from time to time, with effect from January 1, 2013, and for a period of two years, purchase Products and/or repair services from Scailex, on the terms and conditions set out in the Extended Samsung Products Agreement, in an aggregate amount in each calendar year not exceeding NIS 550 million (excluding VAT)), and in addition, will not exceed 40% of the total cost of the Products purchased by Partner in that calendar year. The persons in charge of handsets procurement in the Company shall examine the prices of the Products offered to the Company by Scailex (including, without limitation, in Internet sales, by comparison to other suppliers of the Products and the prices in other markets in the world) and then evaluate their market prices, which will constitute the basis of negotiating their prices with Scailex. The Products will be purchased from Scailex on market terms for such purchases. The Company will bring to approval or ratification by the Audit Committee the procurement requirements each time it convenes (at least twice in each calendar quarter); provided, that a procurement requirement exceeding Partner's materiality threshold will also be brought for approval by the Board of Directors; and
 
 
(ii)
RESOLVED, that the transaction is on market terms and in the ordinary course of business of the Company, that it extends the Existing Samsung Products Agreement (on the same terms), and that the transaction is in the best interest of the Company.”

b Kindly provide details regarding the nature of the Personal Interest in the resolution or why do you constitute a “Controlling Party” in the Company at the designated space below. “Personal Interest” is defined in Section 1 of the Israeli Companies Law as a person’s personal interest in an act or a transaction of a company, including, without limitation, the personal interest of a person's relative and the personal interest of an entity in which the person or the person's relative is an interested party. Holding shares in the applicable company does not give rise to a “Personal Interest.” “Personal Interest” includes, without limitation, a personal interest of a person voting by proxy which was given by another person, even if the other person does not have a personal interest, and a person voting on behalf of a person having a personal interest will be deemed as having a personal interest, whether the voting discretion is in the voter’s hands or not. The Israeli Companies Law refers for the definition of “Control” to Section 1 of the Israeli Securities Law of 1968, defining "Control" as the ability to direct the activity of a company, except for ability stemming only from being a director or holding another position in that company, and it is presumed that a person or entity is controlling a company if said person or entity "holds" (as defined therein) at least half of (i) the right to vote in the shareholders general meeting; or (ii) the right to appoint the directors or the general manager of that company.
 
c If an X is not marked in either column, or if an X is marked in the “Yes” column and the shareholder does not provide detail regarding the nature of the personal interest or the Controlling Party interest, or an X is marked in both columns, the vote shall be disqualified.
 
d In the event that the shareholder is an “Interested Party”, as defined in the License, voting in a different manner with respect to each part of the shareholder's Ordinary Shares, a separate Deed of Vote should be filed for each quantity of Ordinary Shares in respect of which the shareholder intends to vote differently.
 
e Under certain licenses granted, directly or indirectly, to Partner, approval of, or notice to, the Minister of Communications of the State of Israel may be required for holding of 5% or more of Partner's means of control.

I declare and detail in the designated space below, in connection with the resolution on items no. 1-2, 3(i)-3(v), 4 or 5, whether I have a “Personal Interest” in the pertinent resolution, or whether I am a “Controlling Party” in the Company:4
 

 
 
4 Kindly provide details regarding the nature of the Personal Interest in the resolution, or why do you constitute a Controlling Party in the Company, at the designated space after the table (on page 5). “Personal Interest” is defined in Section 1 of the Israeli Companies Law of 1999 (the “Israeli Companies Law”) as a person’s personal interest in an act or a transaction of a company, including, without limitation, the personal interest of a person's relative and the personal interest of an entity in which the person or the person's relative is an interested party. Holding shares in the applicable company does not give rise to a “Personal Interest.” “Personal Interest” includes, without limitation, a personal interest of a person voting by proxy which was given by another person, even if the other person does not have a personal interest, and a person voting on behalf of a person having a personal interest will be deemed as having a personal interest, whether the voting discretion is in the voter’s hands or not. The Israeli Companies Law refers for the definition of “Control” to Section 1 of the Israeli Securities Law of 1968, defining "Control" as the ability to direct the activity of a company, except for ability stemming only from being a director or holding another position in that company, and it is presumed that a person or entity is controlling a company if said person or entity "holds" (as defined therein) at least half of (i) the right to vote in the shareholders general meeting; or (ii) the right to appoint the directors or the general manager of that company.
