Partner Communications (Nasdaq: PTNR) said that following the Company's press release dated February 5, 2012 with respect to the date of reporting the fourth quarter and annual 2011 results, that it is currently examining the developments in the internet service provider market and their possible impact, if any, on the Company and its results. In addition, the Company is still examining the necessity, if any, of an impairment of intangible assets of the fixed-line segment. Consequently, the Company is reporting, at this time, only the main estimated results and operating indicators for the fourth quarter and for the year 2011.

The final and complete results for the fourth quarter and for the year 2011 will be published towards the end of March 2012, at the time that the Company publishes its audited financial reports for 2011 and its annual report (20-F) for 2011.

Total revs should fall 9.8 percent to NIS 1.589 billion and net profit should fall 5.7 percent to NIS 132 million.

Notably, net income does not include the possible impact, if any, of the impairment of intangible assets of the fixed-line segment and is therefore subject to change. A change to this figure, if required, will be announced towards the end of March 2012 at the time that the Company publishes its final and full results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2011, together with its 2011 audited financial statements and annual report on Form 20-F.

On February 12, 2012, Mr. Erez Gissin has resigned from the Company's Board of Directors. The Company's Board of Directors has thanked Mr. Gissin for his significant and long-term contribution to the Company's success.

Further to the immediate report filed by the Company's controlling shareholder Scailex Corporation Ltd. ("Scailex") on February 1, 2012 (an informal English translation thereof was attached to the Company's immediate report on Form 6-K of the same date), the Company’s Audit Committee has engaged independent U.S. and Israeli legal counsel to assist the Audit Committee in its review and consideration of any proposal that may be received by the Company or any action requested to be taken by it in connection with any of the transactions described in the immediate report filed by the Scailex.
