Representation of Israel Electric Corporation in the IBC optic fiber project

July 2018

Our firm represented Israel Electric Corporation as shareholder in the optical fibers project IBC, in a transaction in which Cellcom will purchase the stake of other shareholders in the project for a total consideration of approximately ILS100 million, which shall also be used to repayment of debts to the exiting shareholders. Upon closing of the transaction, Cellcom will hold 70% of the project (alone or with a group of investors) and IEC will hold 30%.

The project is meant to allow deployment of optical fibers on top of IEC’s electrical grid, allowing it to become a competitive factor in the fiber internet market.

IEC is represented by Adv. Yoav Dankner and Adv. Irina (Iris) Kushel.
