FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Matav Reports Motion for Class Action Concerning Subscription Fees

NETANYA, Israel, July 7 — Matav-Cable Systems Media Ltd. (Nasdaq: MATV ), a leading Israeli provider of digital cable television services, announced that it received today a motion that was filed on June 29, 2003 in the Tel-Aviv-Jaffa District Court for the approval of a class action against the Company by three Israeli residents. The plaintiffs seek recognition of their action as representing at least 100,000 subscribers. According to the claim, Matav charged its subscribers a fee which is higher than the fee it was entitled to charge. The plaintiffs claim that the Company neither gave its subscribers the 10% discount they were entitled to, under the terms of its previous franchises, nor did it implement the 1996 ICP settlement. The 1996 ICP settlement, which was approved by the Antitrust court on June 30th, 1996, stated that the Company will not increase the subscription fees during the settlement period (until June 1999) beyond the fees the Company charged its subscribers on the date of the approval by the court, plus real yield increase (beyond the CPI increase) of 1.9% annually.

If the motion for a class action is approved, the court will be requested to instruct Matav to compensate the subscribers by a total sum of NIS 100,000,000 as of the date of the motion. The company is studying the details of the claim.

Matav is one of Israel’s three cable television providers, serving roughly 25 percent of the population. Matav’s investments include 7.4 percent of Partner Communications Ltd., a GSM mobile phone company, and 10 percent of Barak I.T.C. (1995), one of the three international telephony-service providers in Israel.
