(b)          (i)          If at any time the share capital is divided into different classes of shares, the rights attached to any class, unless otherwise provided by these Articles and subject to applicable law, may be modified or abrogated by the Company, by Shareholders Resolution, subject to an approval by a resolution passed by the holders of a majority of the shares of such class voting at a separate General Meeting of the holders of the shares of such class.

(a)          The Company may, from time to time, by Shareholders Resolution (subject, however, to the provisions of Article 7(b) hereof and to applicable law):
 
(i)           consolidate and divide all or any of its issued or unissued share capital into shares of larger nominal value than its existing shares;
 
(ii)         subdivide its shares (issued or unissued) or any of them, into shares of smaller nominal value than is fixed by these Articles (subject, however, to the provisions of the Companies Law), and the Shareholders Resolution whereby any share is subdivided may determine that, as among the holders of the shares resulting from such subdivision, one or more of the shares may, as compared with the others, have any such preferred or deferred rights or rights of redemption or other special rights, or be subject to any such restrictions, as the Company has power to attach to unissued or new shares;

(b)          With respect to any consolidation of issued shares into shares of larger nominal value, and with respect to any other action which may result in fractional shares, the Board of Directors may settle any difficulty which may arise with regard thereto, as it deems fit, including, inter alia, resort to one or more of the following actions:
 
(i)           determine, as to the holder of shares so consolidated, which issued shares shall be consolidated into each share of larger nominal value;
 
(ii)          allot, in contemplation of or subsequent to such consolidation or other action, such shares or fractional shares sufficient to preclude or remove fractional share holdings;
 
(iii)         redeem, in the case of redeemable preference shares, and subject to applicable law, such shares or fractional shares sufficient to preclude or remove fractional share holdings;
 
(iv)         cause the transfer of fractional shares by certain shareholders of the Company to other shareholders thereof so as to most expediently preclude or remove any fractional shareholdings, and cause the transferees to pay the transferors the fair value of fractional shares so transferred; or
 
(v)          cause the sale of fractional shares so as to most expediently preclude or remove any fractional shareholding and cause the proceeds thereof, less expenses, to be paid to the transferors.
 
(c)          Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a class of shares has no nominal value, then any of the foregoing actions may be taken with respect to such class without regard to nominal value.

Allotment of Shares; Registered Holders of Shares
 
(a)         The unissued shares from time to time shall be under the control of the Board of Directors, who shall have the power to allot shares or otherwise dispose of them to such Persons, on such terms and conditions (including inter alia terms relating to calls as set forth in Article 11(f) hereof), and either at par or at a premium, or, subject to the provisions of the Companies Law, at a discount, and at such times, as the Board of Directors may deem fit, and the power to give to any Person the option to acquire from the Company any shares, either at par or at a premium, or, subject to the provisions of the Companies Law, at a discount, during such time and for such consideration as the Board of Directors may deem fit.
 
(b)          Except as otherwise provided in these Articles, the Company shall be entitled to treat the registered holder of any share as the absolute owner thereof, and, accordingly, shall not, except as ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction, or as required by statute, be bound to recognize any trust or equitable or other claim to, or interest in such share on the part of any other Person.
 
(c)          The Board of Directors may elect to maintain one or more Registers of Shareholders outside of Israel in addition to its principal Register of Shareholders, and each such register shall be deemed a Register of Shareholders for purposes of these Articles.
 
11.
Calls on Shares
 
(a)          The Company may, from time to time, make such calls as the Board of Directors may determine upon holders of shares in respect of any sum unpaid for shares held by such holders which is not, by the terms of allotment thereof or otherwise, payable at a fixed time, and each such holder shall pay the amount of every call so made upon him (and of each installment thereof if the same is payable in installments), to the Person(s) and at the time(s) and place(s) designated by the Board of Directors, as any such time(s) may be thereafter extended and/or such Person(s) or place(s) changed. Unless otherwise stipulated in the resolution of the Board of Directors (and in the notice hereafter referred to), each payment in response to a call shall be deemed to constitute a pro rata payment on account of all shares in respect of which such call was made.
 
(b)          Notice of any call shall be given in writing to the holder(s) in question not less than fourteen (14) days prior to the time of payment, specifying the time and place of payment, and designating the Person to whom such payment shall be made, provided, however, that before the time for any such payment, the Company upon approval of the Board of Directors may, by notice in writing to such holder(s), revoke such call in whole or in part, extend such time, or alter such Person and/or place.  In the event of a call payable in installments, only one notice thereof need be given.
 
(c)          If, by the terms of allotment of any share or otherwise, any amount is made payable at any fixed time, every such amount shall be payable at such time as if it were a call duly made by the Company and of which due notice had been given, and all the provisions herein contained with respect to such calls shall apply to each such amount.
 
A - 8

(d)          The joint holders of a share shall be jointly and severally liable to pay all calls in respect thereof and all interest payable thereon.
 
(e)          Any amount unpaid in respect of a call shall bear interest from the date on which it is payable until actual payment thereof, at such rate (not exceeding the then prevailing debitory rate charged by leading commercial banks in Israel), and at such time(s) as the Board of Directors may prescribe.
 
(f)          Upon the allotment of shares, the Board of Directors may provide for differences among the allottees of such shares as to the amount of calls and/or the times of payment thereof.
 
(g)          With the approval of the Board of Directors, any holder of shares may pay to the Company any amount not yet payable in respect of his shares, and the Board of Directors may approve the payment of interest on any such amount until the same would be payable if it had not been paid in advance, at such rate and time(s) as may be approved by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors may at any time cause the Company to repay all or any part of the money so advanced, without premium or penalty.  Nothing in this Article 11(g) shall derogate from the right of the Company to make any call before or after receipt by the Company of any such advance.
 
12.
Forfeiture and Surrender
 
(a)          If any holder fails to pay any amount payable in respect of a call, or interest thereon as provided for herein, on or before the day fixed for payment of the same, the Company, by resolution of the Board of Directors, may at any time thereafter, so long as the said amount or interest remains unpaid, forfeit all or any of the shares in respect of which said call had been made.  Any expense incurred by the Company in attempting to collect any such amount or interest, including, inter alia, attorneys' fees and costs of suit, shall be added to, and shall, for all purposes (including the accrual of interest thereon), constitute a part of the amount payable to the Company in respect of such call.
 
(b)          Upon the adoption of a resolution of forfeiture, the Board of Directors shall cause notice thereof to be given to such holder, which notice shall state that, in the event of the failure to pay the entire amount so payable within a period stipulated in the notice (which period shall not be less than fourteen (14) days and which may be extended by the Company with the approval of the Board of Directors), such shares shall be ipso facto forfeited, provided, however, that, prior to the expiration of such period, the Board of Directors may nullify such resolution of forfeiture, but no such nullification shall estop the Board of Directors from adopting a further resolution of forfeiture in respect of the non-payment of the same amount.
 
(c)          Whenever shares are forfeited as herein provided, all dividends theretofore declared in respect thereof and not actually paid shall be deemed to have been forfeited at the same time.
 
(d)          The Company, by resolution of the Board of Directors, may accept the voluntary surrender of any share.
 
(e)          Any shares forfeited or surrendered as provided herein shall become “dormant shares” (as defined in the Companies Law) and the property of the Company, and the same, subject to the provisions of these Articles, may be sold, re-allotted or otherwise disposed of as the Board of Directors deems fit.
 
A - 9

(f)          Any holder whose shares have been forfeited or surrendered shall cease to be a holder in respect of the forfeited or surrendered shares, but shall, notwithstanding, be liable to pay, and shall forthwith pay, to the Company, all calls, interest and expenses owing upon or in respect of such shares at the time of forfeiture or surrender, together with interest thereon from the time of forfeiture or surrender until actual payment, at the rate prescribed in Article 11(e) above, and the Company, in its discretion, may enforce the payment of such moneys, or any part thereof, but shall not be under any obligation to do so.  In the event of such forfeiture or surrender, the Company, by resolution of the Board of Directors, may accelerate the date(s) of payment of any or all amounts then owing by the holder in question (but not yet due) in respect of all shares owned by such holder, solely or jointly with another.
 
(g)          The Board of Directors may at any time, before any share so forfeited or surrendered shall have been sold, re-allotted or otherwise disposed of, nullify the forfeiture or surrender on such conditions as it deems fit, but no such nullification shall estop the Board of Directors from re-exercising its powers of forfeiture pursuant to this Article 12.
 
13.
Lien
 
(a)          Except to the extent the same may be waived or subordinated in writing, the Company shall have a first and paramount lien upon all the shares (other than shares which are fully paid up) registered in the name of each holder (without regard to any equitable or other claim or interest in such shares on the part of any other Person), and upon the proceeds of the sale thereof, for his debts and liabilities, solely or jointly with another, to the Company in respect of such shares, whether the period for the payment, fulfillment or discharge thereof shall have actually arrived or not.  Such lien shall extend to all dividends from time to time declared in respect of such share.  Unless otherwise provided, the registration by the Company of a transfer of shares shall be deemed to be a waiver on the part of the Company of the lien (if any) existing on such shares immediately prior to such transfer.
 
(b)          The Board of Directors may cause the Company to sell any shares subject to such lien when any such debt or liability has matured, in such manner as the Board of Directors may deem fit, but no such sale shall be made unless such debt or liability has not been satisfied within fourteen (14) days after written notice of the intention to sell shall have been served on such holder, his executors or administrators.
 
(c)          The net proceeds of any such sale, after payment of the costs thereof, shall be applied in or toward satisfaction of such debts and liabilities of such holder (whether or not the same have matured), or any specific part of the same (as the Company may determine), and the residue (if any) shall be paid to the holder, his executors, administrators or assigns.
 
14.
Sale after Forfeiture or Surrender or in Enforcement of Lien
 
Upon any sale of shares after forfeiture or surrender or for enforcing a lien, the Board of Directors may appoint some Person to execute an instrument of transfer of the shares so sold and cause the purchaser's name to be entered in the Register of Shareholders in respect of such shares, and the purchaser shall not be bound to see to the propriety of the proceedings, or to the application of the purchase money, and after his name has been entered in the Register of Shareholders in respect of such shares, the validity of the sale shall not be impeached by any Person, and the remedy of any Person aggrieved by the sale shall be in damages only and against the Company exclusively.

 Effectiveness and Registration
 
(a)          No transfer of shares shall be registered in the Register of Shareholders unless a proper instrument of transfer (in form and substance satisfactory to the Secretary) has been submitted to the Company or its agent, together with any share certificate(s) and such other evidence of title as the Secretary may reasonably require, and unless such transfer complies with applicable law, the Cellular License, the Other Licenses and these Articles.  Until the transferee has been registered in the Register of Shareholders in respect of the shares so transferred, the Company may continue to treat the transferor as the owner thereof.  The Board of Directors may, from time to time, prescribe a fee for the registration of a transfer.
 
(b)          The Company shall be entitled to refuse to recognize a transfer deed until the certificate of the transferred share is attached to it together with any other evidence which the Board of Directors or the Secretary shall require as proof of the transferor’s right to transfer the share and payment of any transfer fee determined by the Board of Directors. Registered transfer deeds shall remain with the Company, but any transfer deed which the Company refused to register shall be returned to the transferor upon demand.
 
(c)          The Board of Directors may close the Register of Shareholders for a period of up to thirty days in each year.
 
17.
Limitation on Transfer of Shares Held by Original Minority Shareholders
 
(a)          Any purported transaction in the shares of the Company in violation of the provisions of this Article 17 shall be null and void, and the Company shall not recognize or give any effect thereto.
 
(b)          The sale, assignment or transfer to any third parties (including shareholders in the Company) other than DIC of all or part of the Ordinary Shares held by an Original Minority Shareholder without the prior written consent of DIC shall be null and void, and the Company shall not recognize or give any effect thereto.
 
(c)          The sale, assignment or transfer to any third parties (including shareholders in the Company) of all or part of the Ordinary Shares held by an Original Minority Shareholder may not be effected unless the following conditions are met: (i) there is a formal written offer from a proposed purchaser (the “Proposed Purchaser”) for the acquisition of such Ordinary Shares with payment to be made in cash; and (ii) the acquisition is subject to the agreement of the Proposed Purchaser to be bound by the terms of the agreement between the Original Minority Shareholders and DIC.
 
(d)          Any Original Minority Shareholder (the “Minority Offeror”) intending for any reason to sell, transfer or assign any number of its Ordinary Shares in the Company (the “Minority Offeror’s Shares”) shall notify DIC of same in writing stating the price per share and payment terms offered (the “Minority Offeror's Notice”).
 
A - 11

(e)          The Minority Offeror's Notice shall be conclusively deemed an irrevocable offer made by the Original Minority Offeror to sell to DIC the Minority Offeror’s Shares under the terms specified in the Minority Notice and in the manner herein below provided (the “Minority Offeror's Offer”).
 
(f)          DIC shall have a period of thirty (30) Business Days from the date the Minority Offeror's Notice is delivered thereto to notify the Minority Offeror of its desire to accept the Minority Offer (“DIC Acceptance Notice”). If DIC shall not have given the DIC Acceptance Notice within the said 30-day period, it shall be conclusively deemed to have rejected the Minority Offer. Conditional, partial or qualified acceptance of the offer shall be deemed a rejection of the Minority Offer.
 
(g)          The closing of the transaction for the sale of the Minority Offeror’s Shares in accordance with the DIC Acceptance Notice (the “Closing”), shall take place and be consummated on the fifteenth (15th) Business Day following the date upon which the said 30-day period expires. At the Closing, the Minority Offeror’s Shares shall be sold and transferred against payment of the consideration therefor, in accordance with the terms specified in the Minority Offeror's Notice.
 
(h)          In the event the Minority Offeror shall fail to transfer the Minority Offeror’s Shares as aforesaid in accordance with the DIC Acceptance Notice, DIC shall be entitled to deposit the entire consideration specified in the Minority Offeror's Notice with the Company, and thereupon the Company may appoint any Person to execute adequate instruments of transfer and the name DIC shall be entered into the Register of Shareholders as the holder of the Minority Offeror’s Shares so purchased and the name of the Minority Offeror shall be removed therefrom with respect to the Minority Offeror’s Shares. As of the entry of DIC’s name in the Register of Shareholders in respect of such shares, the validity of the sale shall not be rebuttable, and the sole right of the Minority Offeror would be to obtain the entire consideration for the Minority Offeror’s Shares deposited with the Company.
 
(i)          If a Minority Offeror intends to transfer all or part of its Ordinary Shares in the Company as aforesaid and DIC which has expressed its interest in exercising its above stated right of first refusal is impeded by provisions of the Cellular License or the Other Licenses or applicable law with which it must comply, from acquiring all or part of such shares, then DIC may designate a Person that will qualify in its stead to acquire the shares which it would have been otherwise entitled to purchase provided such Person is not prohibited from acquiring such shares pursuant to the Cellular License or Other Licenses or applicable law.
 
(j)          In the event that by the end of the 30 Business-Day period specified above DIC shall not have delivered the DIC Acceptance Notice with respect to the purchase of all the Minority Offeror’s Shares, the Minority Offeror shall be free to consummate the sale of the Minority Offeror’s Shares under the terms and conditions specified in the Minority Notice within a period of additional 60 days.
 
(k)          Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Ordinary Shares acquired by an Original Minority Shareholder after the Company’s initial public offering of its Ordinary Shares shall not be subject to this Article 17 (other than Ordinary Shares initially held by an Original Minority Shareholder and subsequently transferred to a third party subject to the restrictions and limitations set forth in Articles 17(a) through 17(j) above).

Contravening Holdings; Compliance with the Cellular License and the Other Licenses
 
(a) To the extent practicable, Contravening Holdings shall be registered in a Register of Shareholders with a notation that such holdings have been classified as Contravening Holdings, immediately upon the Company’s learning of the same. The Company shall send notice of any Contravening Holdings to the registered holder of the Contravening Holdings and to the Minister of Communications.
 
(b) Contravening Holdings shall not entitle the holder thereof to any rights in respect of such holdings and shall be deemed “dormant shares” as defined in the Companies Law, except with respect to receiving dividends or other distributions to shareholders (including the right to participate in any rights offering calculated on the basis of holding of any Means of Control, provided that any additional holdings acquired as a result of the exercise of such right to participate in a rights offering shall also become Contravening Holdings). Therefore, any action taken or claim made on the basis of a right deriving from Contravening Holdings shall have no effect from the time that the Company becomes aware thereof, except with respect to receiving dividends or other distributions as aforesaid.
 
(c) Without derogating from the foregoing:
 
(i) Contravening Holdings shall not have any voting rights at a General Meeting. Any shareholder participating in a General Meeting shall certify to the Company prior to the vote or, if the shareholder is voting by a proxy or any similar instrument, on such proxy card or similar instrument, as to whether or not his holdings in the Company or his vote require the approval by the Minister of Communications pursuant to Sections 21 or 23 of the Cellular License (or the similar provisions of the Other Licenses) or whether such shareholder is in violation of Section 24 of the Cellular License (or the similar provisions of the Other Licenses); in the event that any shareholder does not provide notification as aforesaid, he shall not be entitled to vote at a General Meeting and his vote shall not be counted.
 
(ii) No Director shall be appointed, elected or removed on the basis of Contravening Holdings. In the event a Director is appointed, elected or removed on the basis of Contravening Holdings, such appointment, election or removal shall be void from the time that the Company becomes aware thereof.
 
(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of Articles 18(a) through 18(c) shall not apply to holdings of Founding Shareholders. The Persons who undertake towards the Company to be deemed a Founding Shareholder and approved as such by the Minister of Communications shall hold in the aggregate at least 26% of each of the Means of Control of the Company, or such lower percentage thereof as may be approved from time to time by Minister of Communications.
 
(e) The shareholders of the Company shall at all times comply with the terms of the Cellular License and the Other Licenses. Nothing herein shall be construed as requiring or permitting the performance of any acts that are inconsistent with the terms of the Cellular License or the Other Licenses. If any of these Articles shall be found to be inconsistent with the terms of the Cellular License or the Other Licenses, the inconsistent provisions of such article shall be null and void, but the validity, legality or enforceability of provisions of other provisions shall not be affected thereby. Without derogating from the foregoing, the Israeli Shareholders from among the Founding Shareholders shall comply at all times with the Minimum Israeli Holding Percentage set forth in the Cellular License and the Other Licenses, as such may be amended from time to time.

18A.
Security Committee; Security Observer; Qualifications of Directors and Officers
 
(a)          Notwithstanding any other provision in these Articles, the Board of Directors shall appoint from among its members a Committee of the Board of Directors to be designated the “Security Committee”. The Security Committee shall be comprised of at least four (4) Directors, including at least one External Director, all of whom have security clearance and security compatibility as determined by the Israeli General Security Service (“Directors with Clearance”). Subject to Article 18A(b) below, security matters shall be considered only by the Security Committee. Any decision of, or action by, the Security Committee shall have the same effect as if it had been made or taken by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors shall consider a security matter only if required pursuant to Article 18A(b) below, and subject to the terms of that Article. For purposes of this Article 18A, “security matters” shall mean as defined in the Israeli Bezeq Order (Determination of Essential Service Provided by Bezeq-The Israeli Telecommunications Company Ltd.), 1997.
 
(b)          Security matters which the Audit Committee or Board of Directors shall be required to consider in accordance with the mandatory provisions of the Companies Law or other law or rules applicable to the Company shall be considered, to the extent necessary, only by Directors with Clearance. Other Directors shall not be entitled to participate in meetings of the Audit Committee or Board of Directors dealing with security matters, or to receive information or to review documents related to these matters. A quorum for these meetings shall include only Directors with Clearance.
 
(c)          Any Director or officer of the Company who would otherwise be required to receive information or participate in meetings regarding security matters by virtue of his position or these Articles or any law, but who is prevented from doing so by the provisions of this Article 18A, will be released from any liability for any claim of breach of duty of care to the Company which results from his inability to receive such information or participate such in meetings.
 
(d)          The General Meeting shall not be entitled to assume, delegate, transfer or exercise any of the authorities granted to any other corporate body in the Company with respect to security matters.
 
(e)          (i)           The Minister of Communications shall be entitled to appoint an observer (the “Security Observer”) to all meetings of the Board of Directors and its Committees.

(ii)          The Security Observer shall be an employee of the State of Israel qualified to serve as a director pursuant to Chapter C of the Israeli Governmental Companies Law, 1975.
 
(iii)        In addition to any other obligations under law, the Security Observer shall be bound to preserve the confidentiality of any information relating to the Company, except as required to fulfill his responsibilities as Security Observer. The Security Observer shall not act as an observer or in any other position at an entity providing communication services which is a direct competitor of the Company, and shall avoid a conflict between his position as an observer and the interests of the Company, except for such conflicts arising from his being an employee of the State of Israel serving as a Security Observer. The Security Observer shall undertake not to serve as an observer or officer or director, and not serve in any other capacity or be employed, directly or indirectly, by any entity competing with the Company or in a position of conflict of interest with the Company, except for such conflicts arising from his being an employee of the State of Israel serving as a Security Observer, during the period of his service as the Security Observer and for 18 months after termination of such period. Any differences of opinion with respect to whether the Security Observer has a conflict of interest as described above shall be resolved by the Attorney General of Israel or his representative.
 
A - 14

(iv)         Notices of meetings of the Board of Directors and its Committees, including of the Security Committee, shall be delivered to the Security Observer, and he shall be entitled to participate as an observer in each such meeting.
 
(v)          The Security Observer shall have the same right to obtain information from the Company as that of a Director. If the Company believes that specific information requested is commercially sensitive and not required by the Security Observer for fulfillment of his duties, the Company may delay delivery of the information upon notice to the Security Observer. If the Security Observer still believes the information is needed for his duties, the matter shall be brought for decision to the head of the Israeli General Security Service.
 
(vi)       If the Security Observer believes that the Company has made a decision, or is about to make a decision, in a security matter which conflicts with a provision of the Cellular License or the Other Licenses or Section 13 of the Israeli Communications Law (Telecommunications and Broadcasting), 1982 or Section 11 of the Israeli General Security Service Law, 2002, he shall promptly notify the Company in writing of the same. Said notice shall be delivered to the Chairman of the Board of Directors and the chairman of the Security Committee, and shall provide an appropriate defined period of time, in light of the circumstances, in which the Company shall be required to correct the violation or change the decision, to the extent possible.
 
(f)          To the extent required by the Cellular License or the Other Licenses, specific Directors (including the Chairman) and/or officers, and/or a specified percentage of the Directors shall be Israeli Citizens and Israeli Residents and/or have clearance from the Israeli General Security Service.
 
19.
Record Dates
 
(a)          Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in these Articles, for the determination of the holders entitled to receive notice of and to participate in and vote at a General Meeting or to express consent to or dissent from any corporate action in writing, the Board of Directors may fix, in advance, a record date which shall neither be earlier nor later than is permitted under applicable law.  No Persons other than holders of record of Ordinary Shares as of such record date shall be entitled to notice of and to participate in and vote at such General Meeting, or to exercise such other right, as the case may be. A determination of holders of record with respect to a General Meeting shall apply to any adjournment of such meeting, provided that the Board of Directors may fix a new record date for an adjourned meeting.
 
(b)          Subject to the applicable law, the holders entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment of any rights, shall be the shareholders on the date upon which it was resolved to distribute the dividend or at such later date as shall be determined by, or pursuant to a resolution of, the Board of Directors.

Schedule "B"
 
Cellcom Israel Ltd.
 
Compensation Policy
 
Preamble
 
The Company’s compensation policy is designed to align executive officer compensation with the Company’s performance and to reflect best practices in executive officer compensation. The Company has created a pay-for-performance policy that is designed to align executive officer and shareholder interests by reinforcing the long-term growth, value creation and sustainability of the Company. The structure is designed to encourage a high degree of execution and rewards individuals for the achievement of objectives that ultimately create shareholder value. The structure is further designed to prevent executive officers from taking unnecessary risks in order to enlarge their compensation. The objective of the compensation policy is to attract, motivate and retain a talented management team that will continue providing unique solutions in a highly competitive and rapidly changing marketplace and deliver long-term value for all shareholders.
 
The Company's executive officer compensation policy refers to three main elements of compensation that include base salary, cash bonus compensation and equity-based compensation. The compensation package for each of our executive officers will include these three components.
 
The Compensation Committee and Board of Directors approve, periodically review and oversee the application of the Company's executive officer compensation programs.
 
Our Board of Directors monitors our executive officers' compensation structure annually in order to ensure that target total compensation for our executive officers is appropriate, considering our peer companies, overall company performance, individual executive officer's scope and size of responsibilities and performance during the previous year.
 
The compensation policy does not grant any rights to the Company’s directors and executive officers, and the adoption of the compensation policy does not grant any of the Company’s Directors and executive officers a right to receive any elements of compensation set forth in the compensation policy. The elements of compensation to which a director or executive officer will be entitled, will be exclusively those that are determined specifically in relation to him or her in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Law, 1999, and the regulations promulgated thereunder (hereinafter together, The "Companies Law").

Executive Officer Pay for Performance
 
The Company’s compensation philosophy is to encourage our executive officers to make sound decisions and drive long-term value creation for our shareholders. For our executive officers, we believe that in order to increase shareholder value, our compensation structure must:
 

Have a substantial portion of pay “at risk” (i.e., pay that is not guaranteed); and


Link “at risk” pay to performance objectives that are directly aligned to the Company’s short and long-term performance objectives as well as strategic initiatives.

Effectively aligning the objectives of executive officer compensation with the interests of shareholders requires adopting compensation programs that motivate leadership to drive company performance to achieve sustainable top performance. To that end, our Board of Directors, at the recommendation of our Compensation committee, will establish cash and equity-based compensation plans with targets focused on rewarding individuals for strong company performance. In addition, because we believe that individuals should be rewarded based on the results of their contributions, we also consider individual performance in awarding incentive compensation.
 


Compensation Philosophy and Strategy
 
Our Board, at the recommendation of our Compensation Committee, has defined the following key objectives of our compensation programs for executive officers:


Drive the Company’s overall business strategy and results as they relate to long-term value creation;


Pay for performance by linking total compensation to defined performance objectives, both at the Company level and for each executive officer individually;


Attract and retain key executive officers by providing competitive total compensation opportunities, considering the Company's size, nature of operations and marketplace, while avoiding unnecessary risk taking by executive officers; and


Align executive officer and investor interests by focusing executive officer behavior on driving long-term value creation.

Compensation Risk Assessment
 
In designing our compensation policy, we reviewed our compensation policies and practices in order to determine whether they create risks that are likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company. We concluded that our compensation programs do not create risks that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company. Among the elements evaluated were the following:


The multiple elements of our compensation packages for executive officers, including base salary, annual cash incentive and equity-based compensation program which vest over a number of years and provide a balance of short-term and long-term compensations with fixed and variable components that promote the long-term sustainability of our business;


Equity-based compensation for our executive officers aligns the interests of the executive officers with those of our shareholders;


Independent oversight by the Compensation Committee;


Inclusion of claw-back provisions in the event of a material restatement  of our financial statements for our financial performance based compensations;


Effective management processes for developing strategic and annual work plans, and strong internal controls over financial reporting;
 

The structure of our Annual Cash Bonus (as defined hereinafter) and equity-based compensation, which is based on a number of different performance measures to avoid employees placing undue emphasis on any particular performance measure at the expense of other aspects of the business; and


The cap on our executive officers' Annual Cash Bonus and equity-based compensation, commensurable to objectives which do not motivate increased risk taking.

Compensation Principles
 
Peer Group Analysis. We use benchmarking as one of the tools for setting and reviewing our compensation system. To attract and retain our key executive officers, our goal is to provide compensation opportunities at competitive market terms. The Company’s peer group is made up of a minimum of 10 companies, including telecommunications companies and companies operating in other markets whose turnover are similar to the Company's, as recommended by the Company's independent compensation consultant. When using the benchmarking, our intent is to create a compensation structure that generally targets the median of our selected peer companies, but also allows total compensation to exceed the median when warranted due to company performance and/or individual experience, responsibilities and exceptional performance.
 
 Additional Considerations. When deciding on or periodically reviewing each executive officer's total compensation, our Compensation Committee and Board of Directors consider the following: (1) each executive officer's individual attributes, including his/her education, skills, expertise, professional experience and achievements, the executive's role, his/her areas of responsibility and previous compensation arrangements (when applicable); (2) the ratio between our executive officers total target compensation and the total compensation of the rest of the company's employees and the Subcontractors' Employees engaged by the Company (as such term is defined under the Companies Law), and specifically the ratio to the average total compensation and the median total compensation of such employees, and the influence of those gaps on the working relations in the Company, taking into consideration the Company's size, nature of operations, employees composition, marketplace and comparative data. Our Compensation Committee and Board of Directors considered these ratios in the Company and determined that they do not adversely influence the working relations in the Company.
 
B - 2

Caps and limitations. Our compensation policy sets the target total compensation comprising of the base salary, a 100% performance score for the Annual Cash Bonus award and maximum equity-based compensation for our executive officers, as well as a cap for the Special Cash Bonus, as detailed hereunder. Our Compensation Committee and Board decide on each executive officer's total actual compensation which is limited by the target compensation, based on performance metrics as detailed hereunder. Our Board will not reduce the compensation package approved or any of its components, and will not place additional limitations, not detailed in this compensation policy, other than in unusual circumstances according to our Compensation Committee's and Board of Directors' discretion.
 
Compensation Recovery ("Claw back"). If our financial statements are materially restated within 4 years from publication thereof (other than restatement required due to changes in financial reporting standards), then the executive officers will repay prior payouts, in an amount of the excess over what the executive officer would have received according to the restated financial statements.
 
Change in Compensation at CEO Discretion. A change in the compensation package of an executive officer who reports to the CEO, which results in an increase of such executive officer's total compensation package by no more than 2.5%, may be approved solely by the CEO, provided all elements of compensation of such executive officer will continue to meet the requirements of the compensation policy.
 
Overview of Executive officer Compensation –the Elements of Pay
 
Elements of Executive officer Compensation. In line with the philosophy described above, the following elements compose the compensation of our executive officers:


Base salary;


An Annual Cash Bonus award and possible Special Cash Bonuses;


Equity-based compensation awards; and


Termination arrangements.

Compensation Mix. Base salary, Annual Cash Bonus and equity-based compensation awards make up the main elements of our executive officers’ total compensation package. The Company strives to ensure that a substantial portion of each executive officer’s total compensation is comprised of “at-risk” pay, with the targeted weight of each element out of the total compensation package of an executive officer being as follows:


base salary – 30%-50% for our CEO and 40%-60% for other executive officers;


Annual Cash Bonus - 25%-45% for our CEO and 20%-40% for other executive officers; and


equity-based compensation* - 15%-45% for our CEO and 10%-40% for other executive officers.

*calculated per year, based on fair value at date of grant, with the value of the options amortized as compensation over the vesting period.

The ranges stated above represent the targeted compensation mix desired by the Company; however, the actual ratio between fixed and variable elements may vary based on performance.  For example, in a year with no or limited Annual Cash Bonus, the percentage of base salary out of total compensation may be higher than stated above. The ranges above do not consider any Special Cash Bonus that our Compensation Committee and Board of Directors (and shareholders – in relation to our CEO) may decide to grant to an executive officer, as detailed under Special Cash Bonus below.

B - 3

Our cash bonus and equity-based compensation awards are considered “at-risk” pay because they are not guaranteed and the recipients of the Annual Cash Bonus awards must achieve specific performance objectives at corporate and individual levels to receive any payment.

Total compensation cap. The Company's CEO's total annual compensation shall not exceed NIS 6 million, out of which the fixed element shall not exceed NIS 3 million. Each of the Company's other executive officers' total annual compensation shall not exceed NIS 3.6 million, out of which the fixed element shall not exceed NIS 1.8 million.*

* The value of equity-based awards refers to their value at the date of grant (in accordance with acceptable accounting principles) per each vesting annum (calculated on a linear basis).

Base Salary. The base salary varies between executive officers, and is individually determined according to past performance, educational background, prior business experience, qualifications, role and the business responsibilities of the executive officer. Since a competitive base salary is essential to our ability to attract and retain highly skilled professionals, we will seek to establish a base salary that is competitive with the base salaries paid to executive officers of a peer group of companies.

Accordingly, base salary shall generally target the 25%-75% percentiles of each executive officer's peer group salary, taking into consideration the aforementioned individual characteristics, as shall be reflected in a peer group analysis conducted by an independent consultant and reviewed by our Compensation Committee and Board of Directors, when such salary is set and/or updated.

The base salary may be linked to the Israeli Consumer Price Index, or CPI.

Benefits and Perquisites. The following benefits and perquisites may be granted to the executive officers in order, among other things, to comply with legal requirements:


Vacation of up to 30 days per annum;


Sick days of up to 30 days per annum;


Convalescence pay equivalent to up to 10 days per annum;


Monthly remuneration for an education fund, as allowed by applicable law;


Contribution on behalf of the executive officer to a manager's insurance policy or a pension fund, as allowed by applicable law; and


Contribution on behalf of the executive officer towards work disability insurance, as allowed by applicable law.

We may offer additional benefits and perquisites to the executive officers, which will be comparable to customary market practices, such as: company cellular phone and the costs of the use thereof; company car benefits; gifts for holidays and personal occasions (such as nuptials or birth of a child or grandchild), or for special projects; medical insurance, annual medical examination, professional associations membership fees etc., including tax gross-ups; provided however, that such additional benefits and perquisites shall be determined in accordance with our policies and procedures and with reference to the practice in peer group companies. The value of such additional benefits shall not exceed 30% of the executive officer's base salary.
 
Annual Cash Bonus. The Compensation Committee sets the annual cash bonus performance objectives and target annual bonus for each executive officer, at the start of each year, which are then reviewed and approved by the Board ("Annual Cash Bonus").  For our CEO, these objectives are based on the Company's annual work plan and objectives. For our other executive officers, these objectives are based on the Company’s annual work plan and objectives at the corporate level and key strategic objectives each executive officer is expected to achieve during that year at the individual level, based on each executive officer's position and scope of responsibilities.
 
B - 4

The Annual Cash Bonus payout is determined based on actual performance of the Company and the executive officer in question (after elimination of material one time and reevaluation influences), in each of the performance objectives set for each executive officer, measured on a performance matrix. The results for each group of objectives (as detailed hereunder) are then combined into one performance score, based on the weight each performance objective was given.
 

Corporate performance objectives may include adjusted EBITDA,* net income, free cash flow* and other Company performance objectives which the Company decides to focus on in a specific year. Our CEO's corporate performance objectives were determined by our shareholders general meeting to be the Company's adjusted EBITDA target for the relevant year.** Corporate performance objectives weigh between 30% to 50% of the overall performance score of each executive officer and 80% for our CEO. In extreme cases, such as major changes in our market leading to annual work plan or budget adjustments, our Compensation Committee and Board of Directors may update the objectives to match such changes, during the first half of the relevant year.


Quantitative individual performance objectives may include the budget for the unit relevant to the executive officer, revenues from sales by the unit, recruiting subscribers by the unit and quality of network. These objectives weigh between 30% and 50% of the overall performance score of each executive officer.


Qualitative individual performance objectives may include corporate governance, risk management, leadership, response to major business changes, executing special projects, as per the CEO's evaluation of each executive officer and as per the evaluation of the CEO by the Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors. This component will weigh up to 20% of the overall performance score of each executive officer (including the CEO).

*Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow are non-IFRS measures. For a definition of adjusted EBITDA, see section 4 of the Report of the Board of Directors on the state of the Compny's Business for the year ended December 31, 2020. footnote (5) under "Item 5. Operating and financial review and prospects – Results of operations – Comparison of 2017, 2018 and 2019". For a definition of Free Cash Flow see under "Item 5. Operating and financial review and prospects – A. Operating results – Overview – General".

Any payout of Annual Cash Bonuses for any year will be subject to an additional minimum requirement of achieving an annual adjusted EBITDA of not less than 75% of the Company's adjusted EBITDA for the previous year. Such minimum requirements isare in no way indicative of the Company's expectations or estimations for any fiscal year, and isare provided in order to assure shareholders that no Annual Cash Bonuses will be paid to office holders according to the Compensation Policy in years when the Company’s performance has deteriorated materially compared to the prior year.
 
Our Compensation policy sets a minimal threshold score of 75% of the combined target performance and a target Annual Cash Bonus of 10 monthly salaries for our CEO and 5-7 monthly salaries for our other executive officers ("Target Bonus") for the target performance objectives, in line with each executive officer's capability to influence the Company's results of operations. Performance below the minimum threshold results in no payout. Performance score under the combined performance target and above the threshold results in a linear reduction in which a 5% reduction of the combined performance score represents a reduction of 10% of the Target Bonus (i.e. down to 50% of the Target Bonus for a performance score of 75% of the combined performance target). Performance score above the combined target performance rewards the executive officer with a linear addition to the Target Bonus in which a 5% addition of the combined performance score represents an addition of 10% to the Target Bonus and up to a maximum of 150% of the Target Bonus.

Following is a graphic representation of the Annual Cash Bonus our executive officers may be entitled to:

 
 
Notwithstanding the aforesaid, for our executive officers, except the CEO, the Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors will have full discretion to determine the final Annual Cash Bonus payout based, among other things, on the Annual Cash Bonus performance score and/or additional considerations relevant to the performance and objectives of the Company and the relevant executive officer, including qualitative criteria.
 
Subject to the conditions and limitations set above, an executive officer who ceases to perform his/her role as an executive officer but has provided services to the company for at least 6 months of the relevant year, will be entitled to receive an Annual Cash Bonus for that year, relative to the period in which he/she performed their duties during the relevant year. An executive officer who provides services to the Company for less than 6 months during the relevant year of cessation, will not be entitled to an Annual Cash Bonus for that year. An executive officer who joins the Company during the relevant year, will be entitled to a portion of the Annual Cash Bonus, relative to the period in which he/she performed their duties during the relevant year and provided such period is at least 6 month long.
 
The aggregate maximum payout of all of the executive officers' Annual Cash Bonuses per annum shall not exceed 2% of the adjusted EBITDA for that calendar year (after elimination of material one time and reevaluation influences). In case of a positive adjusted EBITDA but negative net profit in a particular year, the Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors of the Company shall examine the circumstances leading to a negative net profit and shall consider reducing or cancelling the Annual Cash Bonus for that year.

Special Cash Bonus. The Company may grant, subject to approvals required by law, a special bonus to one or more executive officers that have shown a special contribution, considerable efforts or special achievements, in relation to a unique or extraordinary business activity or other special circumstances, in advancement of the Company's goals (the "Special Cash Bonus"). The Special Cash Bonus is a separate bonus from the Annual Cash Bonus mentioned above. The Special Cash Bonus will be determined by quantitative and/or qualitative parameters, and while considering the personal contribution of the executive officer.  The maximum payout for the Special Cash Bonus during the term of the Compensation Policy with respect to any executive officer will be the greater of: (a) 9 base salaries for our CEO and 7 base salaries for our other executive officers, or (b) 150% of the Target Bonus minus any Annual Cash Bonus payout for the relevant year. Any Special Cash Bonus with respect to the CEO will require approval by our shareholders' meeting in addition to the Compensation Committee and board of directors' approval. The aggregate maximum payout cap for Annual Cash Bonuses of all of the executive officers, as described in the previous section of this policy, shall apply also to the aggregate payout of the Special Cash Bonus of all of the executive officers, so that the aforesaid cap shall apply to the aggregate payout of all cash bonuses under this policy.
 
Equity-based compensation Plan. Under the Company's 2015 Share Incentive Plan or under any equity-based compensation plan adopted by the Company in the future, the Compensation Committee and Board may resolve to grant, from time to time, options or restricted share units ("RSUs"), or other instruments of equity-based compensation, to our executive officers.
 
B - 6

The decision on equity-based compensation grant shall take into consideration each executive officer's position, scope of responsibilities, as well as its past performance and contribution to the Company.
 
In order to align executive officer and investor interests for creation of long term value, equity-based awards will include the following terms:


Awards will vest linearly over a minimum period of three years beginning on the first anniversary of the grant date. The terms of such equity-based awards may include provision for acceleration of vesting in certain events, such as in the event of a merger, a consolidation, a sale of all or substantially all of our consolidated assets, change of controlling shareholder, or the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of our outstanding shares. The maximum period for exercising Options is within 6 (six) years from vesting.


The exercise price of equity-based awards will be set so as to induce an incentive for long term value creation, but in any case, not lower than the higher of 5% above the average market price of the Company's share during the 30 day period preceding the date of grant, and the market price of the Company's share at the end of the trading day preceding the date of grant, and will be subject to customary adjustments including for dividend distributions.


The value of equity-based awards at the date of grant (in accordance with acceptable accounting principles) per each vesting annum (calculated on a linear basis), in addition to the Target Bonus (whether or not actually paid), will not exceed 70% of our CEO's and 60% of our other executive officers' total cost of employment in that calendar year. We believe a grant date cap is more appropriate than an exercise date cap as it better aligns long term value creation objectives.


The annual exercise of shares reserved for issuance upon the exercise of options of all the Company's executive officers will not dilute the Company's shareholders by more than 2% (in regards to option plans which contain a 'net exercise mechanism') of the Company's outstanding share capital for the year in which such options may be exercised. In addition, our board of directors committed to DIC that the Company will not issue options or shares pursuant to executive officers or employees' compensation, which may lead to a dilution of the Company's shareholders by more than 0.5% of the Company's outstanding share capital for the year in which such options may be exercised.


the grant of restricted share units  to the Company's executive officers shall be conditioned by the Company setting performance objectives for such grant.
 
Termination and Retirement. Our executive officers may be entitled to up to a 3 months advance notice period upon termination of their employment with the Company if worked in the Company for up to 3 years, or up to 6 month advance notice period if worked in the Company for over three years and will be required to provide the Company with the same notice when they initiate retirement from their position. The executive officer is obligated to work during such period and Company may decide, at its sole discretion, to waive actual work during that period, in whole or in part. Under special circumstances, the Company may, as approved by our Compensation Committee and Board of directors, grant an executive officer who worked in the Company for a minimum of two years and was not terminated for cause, a termination bonus equal to up to 3 monthly salaries of the executive officer, including benefits or an adjustment period of up to 3 month during which the executive officer will be entitled to continue to enjoy all compensation and benefits. In case the executive officer worked in the Company for a minimum period of five years, such termination bonus or adjustment period, may be up to 6 monthly salaries or 6 months, respectively. In deciding on the grant of a termination bonus or the like, our Compensation Committee and Board of Directors shall take into consideration the executive officer's term of employment, his/her compensation during his/her employment with the Company, the Company's performance during that period, the contribution of the executive officer to achieving the Company's objectives and increasing its profits and the circumstances of termination.
 
The Company may approve, upon termination of an executive officer’s employment, amendment of the terms in connection with the executive officer’s equity-based compensation grants, such as extending the period for exercise of equity-based compensation upon termination, for longer periods than as set forth in the applicable plan, enabling acceleration of vesting of unvested equity-based compensation, while considering the same considerations stated above for a termination bonus.
 
The Company will not pay its executive officers any non-competition fees for post termination periods, although executive officers may be bound by post termination non-competition obligations.

Compensation for our directors

All directors (other than Executive Directors, as defined hereinafter), including external directors, independent directors, directors who are affiliated with our controlling shareholder or nominated or appointed by our controlling shareholders ("Controlling Shareholder Directors") and other directors, will be entitled to a directors fees in accordance with the amounts of statutory compensation to an external director of a dual-listed company allowed by the Companiesapplicable Israeli Llaw and regulations (as shall be updated from time to time and up to the maximum amounts allowed) and will not receive cash bonuses or equity-based compensation*. Such directors' fees in relation to Controlling Shareholder Directors may be paid either directly to the director or to the controlling shareholder through a management agreement (if such agreement is in effect).

Our Controlling Shareholder Directors who hold an active role in the Company ("Executive Directors"), which may include the chairman of the Board of Directors, may be entitled to compensation from the Company (instead of the above directors fees) which may include an annual fixed payment and equity-based compensation. The provisions regarding our CEO's base salary and equity–based compensation detailed above in this policy, shall apply mutatis mutandis to the annual fixed payment and equity-based compensation such Executive Directors shall receive for their services, assuming a full time position as our Executive Directors. A part-time position may entitle our Executive Directors to a corresponding portion of annual fixed payment and equity-based compensation. Our Executive Directors are not entitled to receive a cash bonus.

* Notwithstanding the aforesaid, the Company shall continue to pay its external directors  a director fee in accordance with the amounts of statutory compensation to an external director of a dual listed company, until the end of their current term as directors (March 2022).

Indemnification

Exemption from liability and liability insurance policy. Our articles of association allow us to exempt in advance a director and executive officer, or office holders, from liability to the company, in whole or in part, for a breach of his or her duty of care (except in connection with distributions) and we may enter into a contract for insurance against liability of any of our office holders with respect to certain breaches of his/her duties and certain financial liabilities and litigation expenses. As of August 12, 2020, such exemption from liability may not be granted in relation to a decision or a transaction in which a the controlling shareholder or any office holder of the company has a personal interest, as such terms are defined in the Companies Law.

We maintain a liability insurance policy for the benefit of our office holders. Our directors and executive officers' coverage will not exceed US$100 million per claim and in the aggregate, and additional reasonable expenses in connection with defending lawsuits, and the premium will not exceed US$ 2 million per annum in any renewal or extension or substitution of the policy and the deductible will not exceed US$ 5 million per claim , provided that the premium and the deductible will be in accordance with market conditions at the time of the renewal or extension or substitution of the policy and their cost is not material to the Company. Any such renewal or extension or substitution of the liability insurance policy for the benefit of our office holders (including those who are or are related to controlling shareholders or in respect of whom our controlling shareholders have a personal interest, who shall be insured under identical terms) does not require a separate approval of the Company's shareholders, in addition to the approval of this compensation policy (which in itself requires approval once every three years) if our compensation committee resolves that such renewal or extension or substitution upholds the limitations set above.

Indemnification. Our articles of association provide that we may indemnify our office holders against certain financial liability and litigation expenses. We have undertaken to indemnify our office holders for certain events listed in the indemnification letters given to them. Excluding reasonable litigation expenses, as noted above, the aggregate amount payable to all directors and officers and other employees who may have been or will be given such indemnification letters as of August 12, 2020, will not exceed an amount equal to 25% of the shareholders' equity of the Company as per its most recent consolidated financial statements prior to the date of the indemnification payment.

The above exemption, indemnification and insurance coverage, are subject to the limitations set in the Companies Law.

The changes entered to the compensation policy as of August 12, 2020, shall not derogate from earlier letters of exemption and indemnification between the company and the office holders.
