Under the Israeli Companies Law, the Company is required to have at least two External Directors (Dahatzim) on its Board of Directors. The candidate, Mr. Jonathan Kolodny, was proposed to serve as an External Director by the Phoenix-Excellence Group, which is an "Interested Party" (as defined in clause (1) of the definition in the Israeli Securities Act (1968) in the Company, and the Company's Board of Directors adopted this proposal.
Mr. Jonathan Kolodny was appointed to the Board of Directors of Partner effective May 6, 2018. Mr. Kolodny has served as the CEO of the Keter Group since 2016. Prior to that, he served from 2013 until 2016 as the CEO of Jardin International Holding. During the years 1994 until 2013, Mr. Kolodny served in various senior positions at McKinsey & Company in their overseas as well as local offices. He serves on the Board of Directors of Keter Group Holding SARL and Sodastream International Ltd. Mr. Kolodny received a B.A. in Computer Science from Harvard College and a Ph.D. in Cognitive Neuroscience from the University of Cambridge. The Audit Committee and Board of Directors determined that the appointment of Mr. Jonathan Kolodny is in the Company's best interest.To the best knowledge of the Company and the Company's Directors, Mr. Jonathan Kolodny is not a "Family Member", (as defined in the Israeli Securities Act (1968), of another Interested Party in the Company.
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. Jonathan Kolodny was determined by the Board of Directors to be one of the "accounting and financial experts" under the Israeli Companies Law and these regulations. Mr. Jonathan Kolodny also qualifies as an independent director according to the Israeli Companies Law and in accordance with US law.
The Audit Committee and Board of Directors approved and recommended to the shareholders at the EGM to approve, the appointment of Mr. Jonathan Kolodny as an external director (Dahatz) for a term of three years, commencing on May 6, 2018. Our Audit Committee and our Board of Directors noted Mr. Kolodny's professional expertise, business knowledge and unique experience along with accounting and financial expertise. In light of his expertise and expected contribution to the work of the Board of Directors and its committees, the appointment as an external director is in the best interest of the Company.
Under the Israeli Companies Law and regulations promulgated under the Israeli Companies Law, the Companies Regulations (Rules for the Compensation and Expenses for an External Director) (2000), as amended (the "Remuneration Regulations"), the remuneration we pay our external directors (Dahatzim) requires the approval of shareholders. Our Compensation Policy for Office Holders, adopted by our shareholders on September 29, 2016 (the "Compensation Policy"), states that our directors shall generally be (i) entitled to remuneration, which includes an annual financial compensation and compensation for participation in meetings, in conformity with the provisions of the Remuneration Regulations, (ii) entitled to reimbursement of expenses, (iii) benefit from our Office Holders' insurance policy and from indemnification and release letters that have been or shall be granted to them, and (iv) if so determined by the Company and subject to the conditions specified in our Compensation Policy, to certain equity compensation (no equity compensation is proposed hereby).
The Remuneration Regulations allow for several methods of remuneration of the external directors (Dahatzim). The Remuneration Regulations also allow for reimbursement of certain expenses to external directors (Dahatzim). The Remuneration Regulations recognised the increased burden on, and responsibility of, the external directors (Dahatzim). The Remuneration Regulations allow the Company to remunerate the external directors according to the "relative method", which is relative to the remuneration that a company pays its "other directors". The term "other directors" is defined in the Remuneration Regulations. It generally includes directors who are not external directors (Dahatzim) in that company, controlling party directors, directors holding another position in the company, holding a position in that company's controlling party or in an entity controlled by that controlling party, directors who provide additional services on an ongoing basis to that company, the controlling party or to a company controlled by that company's controlling party or directors who receive other remuneration from that company. We wish to remunerate Mr. Jonathan Kolodny according to the "relative method" of remuneration under the Remuneration Regulations by paying Mr. Jonathan Kolodny the same remuneration that the Company pays its "other directors" and its additional external director (Dahatz) (Mr. Barry Ben-Zeev (Woolfson)). Therefore, we wish to pay Mr. Jonathan Kolodny, commencing from the date of his appointment (May 6, 2018), an annual fee of NIS 180,000 (one hundred and eighty thousand NIS) per annum and 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), 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) previously approved by the shareholders, (the "Remuneration") plus reimbursement of certain expenses.
The Audit Committee, the Board of Directors and the shareholders of the Company have resolved in 2008 that, in the event that options will be granted to Company directors, the Company will grant options to the Company's external directors in a manner complying with the Remuneration Regulations. Such resolution shall apply to Mr. Jonathan Kolodny, if and to the extent permitted by the Compensation Policy at the relevant time. To date, no options have been granted to any of the Company's directors.
The Compensation Committee and Board of Directors have considered Mr. Jonathan Kolodny's education, qualifications, expertise and professional experience and achievements, the creation of uniformity in the directors' compensation, the advancement of the Company's objectives, its policy from a long-term perspective, the creation of suitable incentives for directors of the Company (considering, inter alia, the Company's risk-management policy), the size of the Company and the nature of its operations. The Compensation Committee and Board of Directors have approved and recommended to the shareholders at the EGM to approve, the payment of the Remuneration to Mr. Jonathan Kolodny and the reimbursement of expenses to him as set forth in the Remuneration Regulations. The Compensation Committee and Board of Directors have also approved and recommended to the shareholders at the EGM to approve, as previously approved by the shareholders, that Mr. Kolodny will benefit from the Company's D&O insurance policy (as in effect from time to time) and from an indemnification and release letter which was approved by the AGM on September 28, 2016, which will continue in full force and effect.
It is proposed that at the EGM the following resolutions be adopted:
The vote of the holders of a majority of the Ordinary Shares participating in the EGM and voting on the matter is required for the approval of item 1 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 (as stated in the Israeli Companies Law, including section 268 thereof, "Controlling Parties") in the Company, or those having a Personal Interest (as defined in the Israeli Companies Law, 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.
A shareholder shall notify the Company at the address above at least four (4) hours prior to the time of the EGM, whether the shareholder is a Controlling Party in the Company or the shareholder has a Personal Interest in the approval of item 1 on the agenda or not, 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 his Controlling Party Interest or his Personal Interest on the Deed of Vote (to be submitted to the Company at least four (4) hours prior to the time of the EGM or if voted electronically, no later than four (4) hours before the time fixed for the EGM).
Partner conducts its operations pursuant to licenses granted to Partner, directly or indirectly, by the Minister of Communications of the State of Israel (including the License). Partner's Articles of Association and, with respect to shareholders other than shareholders of Partner prior to its public offering, the License contains 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, to Partner, directly or indirectly, 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 indicate on the Deed of Vote (if a shareholder is seeking to vote by Deed of Vote), or indicate on the Deed of Authorization (if a shareholder is seeking to appoint a proxy by a Deed of Authorization), if any of the shareholder's holdings in Partner or the shareholder's vote require 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 the License (a translation of Sections 21-24 of the License is attached hereto as Annex "A"). If a shareholder does not provide such notification, the shareholder shall not vote and, if the shareholder has voted, his vote shall not be counted.

1
Date: March 14, 2018
In accordance with the Companies Regulations (Deeds of Vote and Position Notices) (2005)
Name of the Company
Partner Communications Company Ltd. (the "Company").
Extraordinary General Meeting (the "EGM") will be held on May 6, 2018 at 14:00 (Israel time), at the Company's offices, 8 Ha'amal Street, Rosh Ha'ayin, Israel or at any adjournment thereof. The telephone number for inquiries is +972-54-7814191.
Pursuant to the Israeli Companies Law (1999), as amended (the "Israeli Companies Law") and the Israeli Companies Regulations (Deeds of Vote and Position Notices) (2005), as amended (the "Deed of Vote Regulations"), shareholders who will not attend the meeting in person may vote by a Hebrew form of deed of vote (ktav hatzba'a) and these items are subject to provisions set forth in the Israeli Companies Law and the Deed of Vote Regulations (the "Regulations Procedure").
Set forth below is a summary of the proposed resolutions that may be voted on by the Deed of Vote:
Under the Israeli Companies Law, the Company is required to have at least two External Directors (Dahatzim) on its Board of Directors. The candidate, Mr. Jonathan Kolodny, was proposed to serve as an External Director by the Phoenix-Excellence Group, which is an "Interested Party" (as defined in clause (1) of the definition in the Israeli Securities Act (1968) in the Company, and the Company's Board of Directors adopted this proposal.
The Audit Committee and Board of Directors approved and recommended to the shareholders at the EGM to approve, the appointment of Mr. Jonathan Kolodny as an external director (Dahatz) for a term of three years, commencing on May 6, 2018. Our Audit Committee and our Board of Directors noted Mr. Kolodny's professional expertise, business knowledge and unique experience along with accounting and financial expertise. In light of his expertise and expected contribution to the work of the Board of Directors and its committees, the appointment as an external director is in the best interest of the Company. Mr. Jonathan Kolodny will be appointed to the Board of Directors of Partner, subject to the shareholders approval at the EGM, effective May 6, 2018. Mr. Kolodny has served as the CEO of the Keter Group since 2016. Prior to that, he served from 2013 until 2016 as the CEO of Jardin International Holding. During the years 1994 until 2013, Mr. Kolodny served in various senior positions at Mckinsey & Company in their overseas as well as local offices. He serves on the Board of Directors of Keter Group Holding SARL and Sodastream International Ltd. Mr. Kolodny received a B.A. in Computer Science from Harvard College and a Ph.D. in Cognitive Neuroscience from the University of Cambridge. The Audit Committee and Board of Directors determined that the appointment of Mr. Jonathan Kolodny is in the Company's best interest. To the best knowledge of the Company and the Company's Directors, Mr. Jonathan Kolodny is not a "Family Member", (as defined in the Securities Act (1968), of another Interested Party in the Company.
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. Jonathan Kolodny was determined by the Board of Directors to be one of the "accounting and financial experts" under the Israeli Companies Law and these regulations. Mr. Jonathan Kolodny also qualifies as an independent director according to the Israeli Companies Law and in accordance with US law.
Under the Israeli Companies Law and regulations promulgated under the Israeli Companies Law, the Companies Regulations (Rules for the Compensation and Expenses for an External Director) (2000), as amended (the "Remuneration Regulations"), the remuneration we pay our external directors (Dahatzim) requires the approval of shareholders. Our Compensation Policy for Office Holders, adopted by our shareholders on September 29, 2016 (the "Compensation Policy"), states that our directors shall generally be (i) entitled to remuneration, which includes an annual financial compensation and compensation for participation in meetings, in conformity with the provisions of the Remuneration Regulations, (ii) entitled to reimbursement of expenses, (iii) benefit from our Office Holders' insurance policy and from indemnification and release letters that have been or shall be granted to them, and (iv) if so determined by the Company and subject to the conditions specified in our Compensation Policy, to certain equity compensation (no equity compensation is proposed hereby).
The Remuneration Regulations allow for several methods of remuneration of the external directors (Dahatzim). The Remuneration Regulations also allow for reimbursement of certain expenses to external directors (Dahatzim). The Remuneration Regulations recognised the increased burden on, and responsibility of, the external directors (Dahatzim). The Remuneration Regulations allow the Company to remunerate the external directors according to the "relative method", which is relative to the remuneration that a company pays its "other directors". The term "other directors" is defined in the Remuneration Regulations. It generally includes directors who are not external directors (Dahatzim) in that company, controlling party directors, directors holding another position in the company, holding a position in that company's controlling party or in an entity controlled by that controlling party, directors who provide additional services on an ongoing basis to that company, the controlling party or to a company controlled by that company's controlling party or directors who receive other remuneration from that company. We wish to remunerate Mr. Jonathan Kolodny according to the "relative method" of remuneration under the Remuneration Regulations by paying Mr. Jonathan Kolodny the same remuneration that the Company pays its "other directors" and its additional external director (Dahatz) (Mr. Barry Ben-Zeev (Woolfson)). Therefore, we wish to pay Mr. Jonathan Kolodny, commencing from the date of his appointment (May 6, 2018), an annual fee of NIS 180,000 (one hundred and eighty thousand NIS) per annum and 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), 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) previously approved by the shareholders, (the "Remuneration") plus reimbursement of certain expenses.
The Audit Committee, the Board of Directors and the shareholders of the Company have resolved in 2008 that, in the event that options will be granted to Company directors, the Company will grant options to the Company's external directors in a manner complying with the Remuneration Regulations. Such resolution shall apply to Mr. Jonathan Kolodny, if and to the extent permitted by the Compensation Policy at the relevant time. To date, no options have been granted to any of the Company's directors.
The Compensation Committee and Board of Directors have considered Mr. Kolodny's education, qualifications, expertise and professional experience and achievements, the creation of uniformity in the directors' compensation, the advancement of the Company's objectives, its policy from a long-term perspective, the creation of suitable incentives for directors of the Company (considering, inter alia, the Company's risk-management policy), the size of the Company and the nature of its operations. The Compensation Committee and Board of Directors have approved and recommended to the shareholders at the EGM to approve, the payment of the Remuneration to Mr. Jonathan Kolodny and the reimbursement of expenses to him as set forth in the Remuneration Regulations. The Compensation Committee and Board of Directors have also approved and recommended to the shareholders at the EGM to approve, as previously approved by the shareholders, that Mr. Kolodny will benefit from the Company's D&O insurance policy (as in effect from time to time) and from an indemnification and release letter which was approved by the AGM on September 28, 2016, which will continue in full force and effect.
It is proposed that at the EGM the following resolutions be adopted:

b Kindly provide details regarding the nature of your "Personal Interest" in the resolution, why do you constitute a "Controlling Party" in the Company, you are a "Senior Office Holder" or an "Institutional Investor" (as the case may be), at the designated space below the table (on page 5). "Personal Interest" is defined in Section 1 of the Israeli Companies Law (1999), as amended (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 to the definition of "Control" in Section 1 of the Israeli Securities Law (1968), as amended, 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 is controlling a company if said person "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. For approval of the resolutions regarding the detailed items, any shareholders holding 25% or more of the voting rights in a company will be deemed a "Controlling Party". Two or more persons holding voting rights in a company whereas each of them has a personal interest in approving a certain transaction would be deemed "holding together". According to section 37 (d) of the Securities Law, a "Senior Office Holder" is, generally, a general manager, chief executive officer, deputy managing director, deputy director general, all fulfilling such a role in the company even if his title is different, a director, or manager directly subordinated to the general manager; as well as chairman of the board, an alternate director, an individual appointed under section 236 of the Israeli Companies Law on behalf of the corporation who is a director, controller, an internal auditor, independent authorized signatory, and anyone fulfilling such a role, even if his job title is different, and a Senior Office Holder of a corporation controlled by the corporation, which has a significant impact on the corporation and any individual employed by a corporation in another position, holding five percent or more of the nominal value of the issued share capital or voting rights. "Institutional Investor" - shall have the meaning defined in section 1 of the Supervisory Regulations Control of Financial Services (Provident Funds) (Participation of a Managing Company at a General Meeting), 2009, and a managing company of a Joint Investment Trust Fund as defined in the Joint Investment Trust Law, 1994.
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 details regarding the nature of the "Personal Interest" or the "Controlling Party" Interest (as the case may be), or an X is marked in both columns, the vote shall be disqualified.
Regarding the resolution on item 1 why do I have a "Personal Interest" in the resolution, why do I constitute a "Controlling Party" in the Company, a "Senior Office Holder" or an "Institutional Investor"?
