Cellcom
Israel to Seek Approval to List its Ordinary Shares
on
the Tel Aviv
Stock Exchange
NETANYA,
Israel, May 17, 2007 – Cellcom Israel Ltd. (NYSE: CEL) announced today that the
Company's Board of Directors resolved to list the Company's ordinary
shares on
the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange (“TASE”). The Company’s shares will continue to
trade on the New York Stock Exchange. The proposed listing on the TASE
would
entitle the Company to reporting leniencies under the Israeli Securities
Law. Accordingly, the listing requires the consent of the holders of
each of the two series of the Company's debentures that are listed
on the TASE,
as well as customary regulatory approvals.
The
meetings of the debenture holders are scheduled to be held on June
3, 2007. The
approval of the aforesaid resolution requires the affirmative vote
of the
majority of the debenture holders of each series of debentures, voting
on the
matter (excluding affiliated parties), and in addition, the affirmative
vote of
the majority of such debenture holders who do not hold any shares of
the
Company.
