Dear Shareholders:
We cordially invite you to a 2019 Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders to be held on Thursday, February 21, 2019 at 3:00 p.m. (Israel time) at our offices at 2 Dov Friedman Street, Ramat Gan 5250301, Israel. At the Meeting, shareholders will be asked to approve a new compensation policy for directors and officers.
Shareholders of record at the close of business on January 14, 2019 are entitled to notice of and to vote at the meeting. You can vote either by mailing in your proxy or in person by attending the meeting. If voting by mail, the proxy must be received by our transfer agent or at our registered office in Israel at least forty-eight (48) hours prior to the appointed time of the meeting to be validly included in the tally of ordinary shares voted at the meeting. If you attend the meeting, you may vote in person and your proxy will not be used. Alternatively, shares held via a TASE member may be voted electronically via the ISA's electronic voting system, up to six hours before the time fixed for the Meeting. Shareholders should receive instructions about electronic voting from the TASE member through which they hold their shares. Detailed proxy voting instructions are provided both in the Proxy Statement and on the enclosed proxy card.
Shareholders may review the full version of the proposed resolutions in the Proxy Statement as well as the accompanying proxy card, on, or about, January 14, 2019, via the Israeli Securities Authority's electronic filing system at http://www.magna.isa.gov.il - or the website of the Tel-Aviv Stock Exchange Ltd. at http://maya.tase.co.il - and also at our offices (2 Dov Friedman St., Ramat-Gan, 5250301, Israel - +972-3-9240000 (phone), +972-3-939-9832 (fax)).
Shareholders are permitted to express their position on the proposal to be voted on at the Meeting by submitting a written statement, through the company, to the other shareholders (the "Position Statement"). Position Statements should be submitted to our company at our registered offices, at 2 Dov Friedman Street, Ramat Gan 5250301, Israel. Any Position Statement received will be furnished to the SEC on Form 6-K and will be made available to the public on the SEC's website at http://www.sec.gov, and in addition at http://www.magna.isa.gov.il or http://maya.tase.co.il. Position Statements should be submitted no later than February 11, 2019. A shareholder is entitled to contact us directly and receive the text of the proxy card and any Position Statement.
The quorum for any shareholders meeting shall include the presence, in person or by proxy, of shareholders holding or representing, in the aggregate, at least one third of the voting rights. No business shall be considered or determined at a general meeting, unless the requisite quorum is present within half an hour from the time appointed for the general meeting. If within half an hour from the time appointed for the general meeting a quorum is not present, the general meeting shall stand adjourned to the same day one week thereafter, at the same time and place, or to such other time as designated in the notice for such meeting ("Adjourned Meeting"). If within half an hour from the time appointed for the Adjourned Meeting a quorum is not present, any number of shareholders present shall represent a quorum.
Our Articles of Association require each shareholder that wishes to participate in the meeting to certify to us prior to the vote, or if the shareholder is voting by proxy, in the proxy card, as to whether or not his or her holdings in our company or his or her vote requires the approval of the Prime Minister of Israel and Israeli Minister of Communications pursuant to the Israeli

Communications Law (Telecommunications and Broadcasting), 1982 or the Communications Order (Determination Of Essential Service Provided By "Bezeq" The Israeli Telecommunications Corp., Limited), 5757-1997, or the Communications Order. If a shareholder does not provide such certification, such shareholder will not be entitled to vote at the meeting and such shareholder's vote will not be counted for quorum purposes. According to our Articles of Association, "Exceptional Holdings" do not entitle the holder to vote such shares at the meeting. "Exceptional Holdings" are defined in the Israeli Communications, and a description of the definition of "Exceptional Holdings" will be included in the Proxy Statement.
The affirmative vote of a majority of ordinary shares represented at the Meeting, in person or by proxy, entitled to vote and voting on the matter, is necessary for the approval of the proposal to be acted upon at the Meeting, provided that the shareholders voting in favor of the matter include at least a simple majority of the shares voted by shareholders other than controlling shareholders or shareholders who have a personal interest in the matter. This majority requirement will not be required if the total number of shares of such non-controlling shareholders and disinterested shareholders who vote against the matter represent 2% or less of the voting rights in the company.
Sincerely,
Ami Barlev
Chairman of the Board of Directors
