PARTNER COMMUNICATIONS ANNOUNCES S&P
MAALOT REVISES THE CREDITWATCH IMPLICATIONS
OF ITS BONDS RATING TO
DEVELOPING
ROSH HAAYIN, Israel, July
15, 2009
Partner Communications Company Ltd. (Partner or the
Company) (NASDAQ and TASE: PTNR), a leading Israeli mobile communications
operator
, announces that Standard & Poors Maalot (S&P
Maalot) has revised the CreditWatch implications of the Companys
ilAA- bond rating from positive to developing due to
the announcement by the parent company that it has been approached by various parties
regarding the possible sale of its indirect equity interest in the Company.
In its report, S&P Maalot stated
that: The placement of Partners ilAA- bond rating on CreditWatch
developing reflects our opinion that Partners rating may be raised, stay
stable or even be lowered over the next few months as a result of a possible change in the
controlling entity.
S&P Maalot further stated that:
We continue to see a high probability that the rating will be
raised, should Partners capital structure remain such that the financial
risk profile supports a higher rating.
