Settlement of Derivative Action

On March 30, 2020, B Communications Ltd. (the "Company") announced that it has entered into a settlement agreement concerning a derivative action commenced in July 2016 that had been pending in Tel Aviv-Jaffa District Court. The derivative claim alleged that the Company had distributed an unlawful dividend of 113 million New Israeli Shekels ("NIS"), including approximately NIS 73 million to the Company's former controlling shareholder, Internet Gold – Golden Lines Ltd. ("Internet Gold").

Under the settlement agreement, which is subject to court approval (by both the District Court and the Insolvency Court dealing with Internet Gold's insolvency proceedings), the Company will receive a total of NIS 22 million (principal plus accrued interest) of the Company's Series C Debentures currently held by Internet Gold, in return for a waiver of the derivative action against Internet Gold. The derivative plaintiff will be awarded a total amount of NIS 4.23 million for expenses, lawyers' fees and reward (which amount will come out of the NIS 22 million amount being paid by Internet Gold). The courts' approvals of the settlement are expected in 2020, but could be delayed by appeals or other proceedings.

Under the terms of the proposed settlement, the Company will receive a total of NIS 22 million (principal plus accrued interest) of the Company's Series C Debentures ("the Settlement Sum"), currently held by Internet Gold, in return for a waiver of the derivative action against Internet Gold.
