EXHIBIT 99.1

B Communications Ltd. Announces a Private Placement of NIS 180 Million Par Value of its Series B Debentures to Israeli Institutional Investors

Ramat-Gan, Israel, August 7, 2013 - B Communications Ltd. (NASDAQ and TASE: BCOM), today announced a private placement of NIS 180 million par value of its Series B Debentures to several Israeli institutional investors for an aggregate consideration of approximately NIS 180 million (approximately US $51 million).

The private placement was carried out as an increase to the outstanding Series B Debentures of B Communications, which were first issued in September 2010 and have identical terms. The private placement was offered to Israeli institutional investors pursuant to Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933. The newly issued Series B Debentures will not be registered under the Securities Act and may not be offered or sold in the United States or to U.S. persons unless they are registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from registration is available. Initial re-sales will be restricted by applicable securities laws. This announcement is not an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any securities.

The issuance of the newly issued Series B Debentures is subject to: (a) the approval of Midroog Ltd., an Israeli rating company affiliated with Moody’s, that the issuances will not cause a reduction in the Series B Debentures’ A2 rating; and (b) the listing of the additional debentures for trade on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange. The Company expect both approvals in the next coming days.

The Israeli Tax Authority approved the formula for calculating the adjusted discount rate for all Series B Debentures, for tax purposes. According to the principles set out by the tax authority, as a result of the private placement, the adjusted discount rate for all Series B Debentures is 1.28%. The adjusted discount rate is calculated solely for the purpose of withholding tax in connection with the discount amount upon repayment of the Series B Debentures and it does not reflect the final tax liabilities of Series B bondholders.

Doron Turgeman, CEO of B Communications commented: "Our main goal in this private offering was to improve our available financial resources. We are very pleased with the results and thank the investors for their vote of confidence."
