Rosh Haayin, Israel, February 3rd, 2005 Partner Communications Company Ltd. (NASDAQ, TASE: PTNR; London: PCCD) (the Company, Partner) announced today that Mr. Haim Romano, Deputy CEO of Partner, has announced this morning that he has accepted the offer presented to him by Prof. Israel (Izzy) Borovich, Chairman of El-Al, and will resign his position to become CEO of El-Al. Amikam Cohen, Partners CEO, wished Mr. Romano success. Mr. Romano has contributed significantly to the success of Partner, said Mr. Cohen, and I am confident he will succeed in his new position.
Mr. Romano said: This morning I have made a decision that is very difficult for me, to accept the challenge presented to me by Prof. Borovich and by the Deputy Chairperson of El-Al, Mrs. Tamar Moses Borovich to become CEO of El-Al. Partner for me has always been a warm family. I am grateful to the CEO of Partner for the opportunity to become part of the founding team of Partner, and for his trust and support which I enjoyed throughout the years. I thank Partners management and employees for the cooperation and friendship through the fascinating years we spent together.
