A
PURPORTED CLASS ACTION AGAINST THE COMPANY WAS REMITTED
FOR
CONSIDERATION
TO THE DISTRICT COURT OF TEL AVIV–JAFFA
Netanya, Israel–
July
19, 2007
While
the
Company has not issued any report concerning the development set forth below,
the Company’s controlling shareholder will provide an immediate report about
this development under its Israeli reporting requirements and, consequently,
the
Company is filing this Form 6-K.
Pursuant
to an appeal of the Tel Aviv–Jaffa District Court’s June 2004 decision to deny a
purported class action lawsuit filed against Cellcom Israel Ltd. (the
“Company”) in August 2001 by one of the Company’s subscribers, in
connection with the Company’s outgoing call tariffs for the “Talkman” (pre-paid)
plan and the collection of a distribution fee for “Talkman” calling cards, the
Israeli Supreme Court granted, on July 10, 2007, a petition filed by both
parties by mutual consent, in light of the Israeli Class Actions Law, 2006,
to
remit the purported class action lawsuit for consideration in the District
Court
of Tel Aviv–Jaffa.
If
the
lawsuit is certified as a class action, the amount claimed is NIS 135 million,
as at the filing date of the lawsuit. The Company believes that it has good
defense against the certification of the lawsuit as a class action.
