Completion of Settlement of Derivative Action
On September 14, 2020, the previously-reported settlement of the July 2016 derivative action against B Communications Ltd. (the “Company”) (titled Horev v. B Communications Ltd.), which had been brought in Tel Aviv-Jaffa District Court, was completed. Pursuant to the settlement, the Company received a total of approximately 22 million New Israeli Shekels (“NIS”) (principal plus accrued interest) of the Company’s Series C Debentures that had been held by the Company’s former controlling shareholder, Internet Gold – Golden Lines Ltd. (“Internet Gold”), in exchange for a waiver of the derivative action against Internet Gold. Further to the settlement, the Company has paid the derivative plaintiff a total amount of NIS 4.23 million for expenses, lawyers’ fees and reward.
As previously reported, the subject derivative claim had alleged that the Company had distributed an unlawful dividend of NIS 113 million, including approximately NIS 73 million to Internet Gold.
Prior to its completion, the settlement had received the approval of both the Tel Aviv-Jaffa District Court and the Insolvency Court dealing with Internet Gold’s insolvency proceedings.
