Deutsche Bank Markets Research Emerging Markets Israel HY Corporate Credit Telecommunications Company B Communications Ltd. Date Himanshu Porwal Research Analyst (+44) 121 615-7073 himanshu.porwal@db.com Thoughts on Bezeq share sale and the possible tender offer Credit positive Earlier in the month, B Communication (BCOM) sold a 4.18% stake in Bezeq, the largest telecom service provider in Israel, for a cash consideration of NIS982 million (approximately USD250m). Note that Bezeq is BCOM s core operating subsidiary and following this stake sale, its ownership in Bezeq is reduced to 26.34% from a previous 30.5%. Despite this share sale, BCOM will continue to retain its status of controlling share holder in Bezeq, pursuant to Article 3(a3) of Israeli communication Law and the Communication order, which requires maintaining at least 25% stake and allows holding less than 30% stake under certain circumstances. According to the terms of the Indenture for the Company s 7.375% Sr. Secured bonds, the net proceeds from the sale of Bezeq shares have been deposited in a Lockbox Account which comprise of cash set aside to service interest payment of these bonds. Furthermore, the terms of the bond indenture states that Bezeq must make an offer within 365 days of receipt of the proceeds to purchase equivalent amount of these bonds at an offer price of at least par. Until such offer is made, proceeds will be invested in IG debt instruments. Overall, we view this transaction as credit positive as it will significantly improve Bezeq s liquidity and allow it to deleverage its balance sheet, which could result in a potential rating upgrade. Important to note that this stake sale also implies an equivalent reduction in dividends that BCOM will receive from Bezeq going forward. Tender offer price likely to be in the range of 105.531-108.6 Currently, these bonds are trading well above their par at Mid price of USD108.6 and have a pre-fixed callable price of USD105.531 for their next call date, i.e Feb-2017. Considering both these above factors, we believe that the offer price would be somewhere in between 105.531-108.6, as it is unlikely that investors would surrender their bonds below Feb-17 callable price. It is also important to highlight that BCOM has been undertaking additional bond buy backs pursuant to a repurchase program announced in August 2014 and has so far repurchased ~USD50m worth of these notes. Moreover, the company s BoD recently approved repurchase of an additional USD50m of 7.375% notes. Given this ongoing repurchase program, which has understandably taken place at an average price of USD108 (average Mid price in the last 6 months), we believe that the aforementioned tender offer should likely come closer to the higher end of the range (i.e108). According to BCOM s management, the tender offer would be placed during April-May 2016. Current valuations look fair and optimum We view BCOM 7.375% to be fairly valued at Mid price/mid Spread/Mid yield (priced to next call) at108.6/270bps/3.91% respectively. We compare BCOM 7.375% with similar dated Telco bonds through BBB- to BB- ratings (BATELCO 20s, MOBTEL 20s, VIP 21s, RCOMIN 20s etc) and see that BCOM21s are trading sufficiently tighter than these peers (see figure 1). Even on a spread-tocall basis, BCOM bonds are trading marginally tighter than VIP 17s. Moreover, with the first call date approaching sooner (less than one year), together with the looming tender offer, there is limited potential for spread tightening/price appreciation from current levels in our view. Hence, we believe that BCOM DISCLOSURES AND ANALYST CERTIFICATIONS ARE LOCATED IN APPENDIX 1. MCI (P) 124/04/2015.

Mid Yield, % Yield in % 7.375% 21c17 are fairly priced at current levels and thus we lower our recommendation on them to Hold from Buy. We maintain our base case that the notes could most likely be redeemed during 2018-2020 and assign a low likelihood of being called in 2017 (the first call date). Our expectations are further strengthened by recent developments, which if materialized successfully, would lower the outstanding amount of these notes to ~USD450m and would thereby alleviate concerns relating higher financial expenses due to high coupon of these bonds. BCOM s management has also previously indicated about potentially refinancing their debt around 2019/2020. Having said that, we acknowledge that given the current Loan-to-value1 ratios are now lower than at the time of original issuance (55% in Jan-14 vs 26% as of Feb-16), BCOM could be tempted to refinance them earlier at lower borrowing costs.

EBITDA growth was constrained (up 1.6% yoy) by higher COGS and SG&A (+11.2% and 9.4% respectively) but margins were still healthy at 42.6%. On the balance sheet front, Bezeq s total debt declined 6.3% qoq to USD2.8bn (flat since end of FY14) resulting in improvement of gross leverage to 3x vs. 3.2x a quarter ago. At BCOM level, we note that the company received ~NIS550m (USD145m) worth of dividends from Bezeq. Going forward, we expect Bezeq to continue with its ongoing dividend distribution policy of paying 100% of its net profit. Although, BCOM s share of dividend will be reduced owing to recent stake sale. Assuming the average annual dividend payments by Bezeq of NIS1.8bn going forward (NIS1.8bn in 2015 vs. NIS2bn for 2014 and average annual dividend of NIS3bn in last 5 year), BCOM should have around NIS475m annually at its disposal which would be sufficient to cover all of its annual debt until 2020 and should also provide BCOM with room for deleveraging, in our view. Following the stake sale and subsequent buy back of bonds, we expect BCOM s adjusted net leverage to reduce to 3.3x from 3.6x as of 3Q15. Page 2

This report is provided for informational purposes only. It is not an offer or a solicitation of an offer to buy or sell any financial instruments or to participate in any particular trading strategy. Target prices are inherently imprecise and a product of the analyst s judgment. The financial instruments discussed in this report may not be suitable for all investors and investors must make their own informed investment decisions. Prices and availability of financial instruments are subject to change without notice and investment transactions can lead to losses as a result of price fluctuations and other factors. If a financial instrument is denominated in a currency other than an investor's currency, a change in exchange rates may adversely affect the investment. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results. Unless otherwise indicated, prices are current as of the end of the previous trading session, and are sourced from local exchanges via Reuters, Bloomberg and other vendors. Data is sourced from Deutsche Bank, subject companies, and in some cases, other parties. Macroeconomic fluctuations often account for most of the risks associated with exposures to instruments that promise to pay fixed or variable interest rates. For an investor who is long fixed rate instruments (thus receiving these cash flows), increases in interest rates naturally lift the discount factors applied to the expected cash flows and thus cause a loss. The longer the maturity of a certain cash flow and the higher the move in the discount factor, the higher will be the loss. Upside surprises in inflation, fiscal funding needs, and FX depreciation rates are among the most common adverse macroeconomic shocks to receivers. But counterparty exposure, issuer creditworthiness, client segmentation, regulation (including changes in assets holding limits for different types of investors), changes in tax policies, currency convertibility (which may constrain currency conversion, repatriation of profits and/or the liquidation of positions), and settlement issues related to local clearing houses are also important risk factors to be considered. The sensitivity of fixed income instruments to macroeconomic shocks may be mitigated by indexing the contracted cash flows to inflation, to FX depreciation, or to specified interest rates these are common in emerging markets. It is important to note that the index fixings may -- by construction -- lag or mis-measure the actual move in the underlying variables they are intended to track. The choice of the proper fixing (or metric) is particularly important in swaps markets, where floating coupon rates (i.e., coupons indexed to a typically short-dated interest rate reference index) are exchanged for fixed coupons. It is also important to acknowledge that funding in a currency that differs from the currency in which coupons are denominated carries FX risk. Naturally, options on swaps (swaptions) also bear the risks typical to options in addition to the risks related to rates movements. Page 6

Derivative transactions involve numerous risks including, among others, market, counterparty default and illiquidity risk. The appropriateness or otherwise of these products for use by investors is dependent on the investors' own circumstances including their tax position, their regulatory environment and the nature of their other assets and liabilities, and as such, investors should take expert legal and financial advice before entering into any transaction similar to or inspired by the contents of this publication. The risk of loss in futures trading and options, foreign or domestic, can be substantial. As a result of the high degree of leverage obtainable in futures and options trading, losses may be incurred that are greater than the amount of funds initially deposited. Trading in options involves risk and is not suitable for all investors. Prior to buying or selling an option investors must review the "Characteristics and Risks of Standardized Options, at http://www.optionsclearing.com/about/publications/character-risks.jsp. If you are unable to access the website please contact your Deutsche Bank representative for a copy of this important document. Participants in foreign exchange transactions may incur risks arising from several factors, including the following: ( i) exchange rates can be volatile and are subject to large fluctuations; ( ii) the value of currencies may be affected by numerous market factors, including world and national economic, political and regulatory events, events in equity and debt markets and changes in interest rates; and (iii) currencies may be subject to devaluation or government imposed exchange controls which could affect the value of the currency. Investors in securities such as ADRs, whose values are affected by the currency of an underlying security, effectively assume currency risk.
