Searchlight Capital Partners and an entity wholly-owned by the Fuhrer family entered into a definitive agreement to acquire 51.95% stake in B Communications Ltd (TASE:BCOM) from Internet Gold - Golden Lines Ltd.

IGLD will, by no later than February 14, 2019, enter into a customary exclusivity agreement with SCP to cover the period ending on February 21, 2019. Such Exclusivity Agreement will prohibit IGLD and any person acting for or on its behalf, directly or indirectly, from soliciting, negotiating or engaging in discussion with, or providing due diligence material to, or entering into any agreements with, third parties regarding any acquisition or control (however effected) of all or a substantial portion of IGLD’s direct or indirect equity interests in Bezeq – The Israel Telecommunications Corp. Ltd. (“Bezeq”) (each, an “Alternative Transaction”), and shall further provide, among other things, that in the event any Alternative Transaction is entered into during the Negotiation Period or the 60-day period thereafter, IGLD shall pay to SCP all reasonable out-of-pocket fees and expenses incurred by SCP and its affiliates in connection with the Transaction (including, without limitation, its due diligence review and preparation and negotiation of any transaction documentation).

SCP is to provide a fully committed back-stop for this ILS 50 million equity raise. If there is no breach of the financial covenant at the first applicable test date after the Quiet Period, or such a breach is cured by Bcomm shareholders, all cash of ILS 60 million in the escrow account will be released to IGLD. As of May 8, 2019, the structure of the deal has not yet been finalized and the parties need more time to negotiate in order to represent an agreed solution. As of May 14, 2019, an updated offer was received from SCP for the purchase of the controlling shares B Communications while executing a cash investment in B Communications in the total amount of ILS 640 million.
