Enclosure: Partner Communications announces receiving a lawsuit and a motion for the recognition of this lawsuit as a class action filed against 012 Smile



 
PARTNER COMMUNICATIONS ANNOUNCES
RECEIVING A LAWSUIT AND A MOTION FOR THE
RECOGNITION OF THIS LAWSUIT AS A CLASS ACTION
FILED AGAINST 012 SMILE

ROSH HA'AYIN, Israel, September 14, 2016 - Partner Communications Company Ltd. ("Partner" or the "Company") (NASDAQ and TASE: PTNR), a leading Israeli communications operator, announces that its fully owned subsidiary, 012 Smile Telecom Ltd. ("012 Smile") received a lawsuit and a motion for the recognition of this lawsuit as a class action, filed against 012 Smile and two other international long distance operators (the "Defendants")  in the Central District Court on September 11, 2016.

The claim alleges, among others, that the Defendants charge excessive tariffs from occasional customers for each long distance call minute, contrary to section 17 of the Communications Law (Telecommunications and Broadcasting) 1982, that allows a licensee to charge reasonable payment for a telecommunication service that it provides.

The total amount claimed against the Defendants if the lawsuit is recognized as a class action was not stated by the plaintiff.  

012 Smile is reviewing and assessing the lawsuit and is unable at this preliminary stage, to evaluate, with any degree of certainty, the probability of success of the lawsuit or the range of potential exposure, if any.
