This Amendment No. 3 on Schedule 13D/A (the "Amendment") amends and supplements to the extent specified herein the Statement on Schedule 13D with respect to the ordinary shares, par value NIS 0.01 per share (the "Ordinary Shares"), of Cellcom Israel Ltd. (the "Issuer"), initially filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 20, 2014 (as amended, the “Statement”). Capitalized terms used herein without being defined herein have the meanings given to them in the Statement.

The following amends and supplements Items 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 of the Statement.

Item 2.          Identity and Background

(a), (b) and (c):          The Reporting Persons.

As of this date, Mr. Eduardo Sergio Elsztain ("Elsztain") is the controlling shareholder of Discount Investment Corporation Ltd. ("DIC"). Elsztain holds (indirectly, through entities in his control) approximately 76.56% of the share capital of DIC (and approximately 73.57% of DIC's share capital on a fully diluted basis).

The following changes were made to the holdings of the Reporting Persons since the submission of Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13D on May 10, 2018:

On June 26, 2018 DIC purchased 1,150,000 Ordinary Shares of the Issuer (which represented 1.14% of the Issuer's issued and outstanding share capital before the

A.

public offering of the Issuer, as detailed in this item below; and 0.99% of the Issuer's issued and outstanding share capital immediately after such public offering), through a swap transaction with a banking institution ("Swap Transaction"). For details regarding the Swap Transaction, see Item 6 below.

B.

In a public offering completed by the Issuer on June 27, 2018, Koor purchased 6,314,200 Ordinary Shares of the Issuer (which represents 5.43% of the Issuer's issued and outstanding share capital) and was granted 3,157,100 options to purchase Ordinary Shares of the Issuer (which represents 2.71% of the Issuer's issued and outstanding share capital) (the "Koor Options"), for approximately NIS 146 million. The Koor Options consist of (i) Series 1 options exercisable into 1,578,550 Ordinary Shares from the date of grant until December 24, 2018 at an exercise price of NIS19.50 per Ordinary Share, and (ii) Series 2 options exercisable into 1,578,550 Ordinary Shares from the date of grant until June 24, 2019 at an exercise price of NIS20.00 per Ordinary Share.

C.

With respect to Koor's securities lending transaction with the Israeli Shareholders on June 28, 2018, Koor transferred additional 606,060 Ordinary shares of the Issuer to the Israeli Shareholders (which represents 0.52% of the Issuer's issued and outstanding share capital). For details regarding the lending transaction between Koor and the Israeli Shareholders, see Item 6 below.

(2)           Koor an Israeli private corporation, with its business and principal office at the Triangular Tower, 44th floor, 3 Azrieli Center, Tel Aviv 6702301, Israel, holds directly 25,273,419 Ordinary Shares. Koor is a wholly owned subsidiary of DIC. By reason of Koor’s ownership interest in and control of DIC Communication, Koor may be deemed beneficial owner of, and sharing the power to vote and dispose of, the Ordinary Shares held by DIC Communication.

(3)          DIC, an Israeli public corporation, with its business and principal office at the Triangular Tower, 44th floor, 3 Azrieli Center, Tel Aviv 6702301, Israel owns, as of the date hereof, 100% of the outstanding shares of Koor.

As DIC has been informed, as of June 30, 2018:

IFIS is a private investments company, which is registered in Bermuda, which is controlled, indirectly, by Mr. Eduardo Elsztain, who has a holding of approximately 63.42% of the voting rights in it, by virtue of his holdings in the share capital of IFIS (approximately 31.78% through CVCU and Consultores Venture Capital Ltd., a company that was incorporated in the Cayman Islands and which is wholly owned by CVCU and 26.98% through Agroinvestment), and by virtue of an irrevocable power of attorney that were given to Mr. Elsztain with respect to the additional voting rights in IFIS (Mr. Saul Zang, serving as a director in the Company is amongst those granting the power of attorney and indirectly holds approximately 3.32% in IFIS, and the companies through which Mr. Elsztain holds in IFIS as described above).

Item 3.                     Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

 

 

DIC Communication is the direct owner of 12,188,355 Ordinary Shares, constituting approximately 10.48% of the Ordinary Shares then outstanding.

Koor is the direct owner of 30,981,559 Ordinary Shares, constituting approximately 26.63% of the Ordinary Shares then outstanding. DIC may be deemed beneficial owner of, and to share the power to vote and dispose, of the 30,981,559 Ordinary Shares held by Koor. In addition, 3,412,500 Ordinary Shares, representing approximately 2.93% of the outstanding Ordinary Shares, are held by two shareholders whose voting rights in respect of these shares are vested in Koor and whose dispositive power in respect of these shares is subject to certain rights of Koor. DIC may be deemed to share the power to vote and the other rights of Koor with respect to such 3,412,500 Ordinary Shares. In addition, DIC and Koor may be deemed beneficial owner of, and to share the power to vote, of the 5,658,288 Ordinary Shares, representing 5% of the outstanding Ordinary shares, held by the Israeli Shareholders due to a lending agreement with Koor.  See Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with respect to Securities of the Issuer.

 

Each of Wior Communications and Blejer Communications is the direct owner of 2,829,144 Ordinary Shares, constituting 2.5% of the Ordinary Shares then outstanding, and each of Wior Communications (and  its sole shareholder, Mauricio Wior) and Blejer Communications (and its sole shareholder, Mario Blejer) may be deemed beneficial owner of, and to share the power to vote, the 2,829,144 Ordinary Shares held by the other by virtue of the voting agreement which is part of the agreement described in Item  6.

 

CIEH is a company whose shares (approximately 34.8% of the share capital of CIEH (consisting of approximately 29.8% held through a trustee and 5% held directly)) are held by IDB Development. However, IDB Development disclaims beneficial ownership of the CIEH Shareholdings because, among other things, the Israeli Supervisor of Capital Markets, Insurance and Savings appointed a trustee to hold IDB Development's means of control in CIEH, including the voting power, except for 5% which remains held by IDB Development, and instructed IDB Development to dispose of its interest in CIEH.  In addition, 5,609,511 of the CIEH Shareholdings are held for members of the public through pension funds and insurance policies, which are managed by subsidiaries of subsidiaries of CIEH.

 

 Each of Mr. Elsztain and DIC may each be deemed the beneficial owners of, and to share the power to vote and dispose of, an aggregate of 56,547,802 Ordinary Shares held by DIC, Koor and DIC Communication (which includes 5,658,288 Ordinary Shares, constituting 5% of the Ordinary Shares then outstanding, held by the Israeli Shareholders by virtue of the agreement between Koor and the Israeli Shareholders described in Item 6), constituting in the aggregate approximately 48.61% of the Ordinary Shares then outstanding and, in addition, be deemed to share the power to vote and the other rights of Koor with respect to the aforementioned 3,412,500 Ordinary Shares held by two shareholders, constituting approximately 2.93% of the Ordinary Shares then outstanding. Each of the Israeli Shareholders, Wior Communications and Blejer Communications may be deemed beneficial owner of, and to share the power to vote, an aggregate of 5,658,288 Ordinary Shares, constituting 5% of the Ordinary Shares then outstanding.  This Statement shall not be construed as an admission by DIC and Mr. Elsztain that they are the beneficial owners of any of the Ordinary Shares covered by this Statement.

 

 

2.          5,658,288 Ordinary Shares, constituting 5% of the Issuer's outstanding share capital, are held by two Israeli Shareholders. One Israeli shareholder is Wior Communications, controlled by Mr. Mauricio Wior, who is the vice chairman of the Issuer and an alternate director in DIC; and the other Israeli shareholder is Blejer Communications, controlled by Mr. Mario Blejer, who is an alternate director in IDB Development, a company controlled by the Issuer's controlling shareholder, pursuant to a lending transaction with Koor (the "Koor Lending Transaction"). According to the said Koor Lending Transaction, on January 31, 2018 and February 6, 2018, 5,052,228 Ordinary Shares, then constituting 5% (2.5% to each) of the outstanding share capital, were transferred from Koor to the Israeli Shareholders, and on June 28, 2018, additional 606,060 Ordinary Shares were transferred from Koor to the Israeli Shareholders.

The Koor Lending Transaction (dated January 2018) was entered into to satisfy a requirement of the Israeli Ministry of Communication that citizens and residents among the Issuer's founding shareholders (or their approved transferees) must own at least 5% of the Issuer's outstanding share capital and each of the Issuer's other "means of control" (defined under Israeli Companies Law to include voting rights), which requirement is included in the Issuer's general license to provide cellular services.

The main terms of the agreement are:

·

The agreement will be in force until December 31, 2018 and will be automatically extended by a one year term until terminated according to its terms.

·

Koor will have the right to terminate the agreement at any time and receive all or part of the Transferred Shares. The Israeli Shareholders will not be able to transfer the Transferred Shares without Koor's approval and subject to additional terms, including the transferees assuming the Israeli Shareholder's obligation towards Koor pursuant to the Agreement, the transferees being "Israeli Shareholders" under the Company's cellular license and the Israeli Ministry of Communication's ("MOC") prior approval of such transfer, if required.

·

As long as such requirement exits in Cellcom's cellular license, the Israeli Shareholders will have the right, jointly and not severally, by a majority decision among themselves, to appoint 10% of the Company's directors (currently – one director). The Israeli Shareholders will vote with Koor in all shareholders resolutions (including the nomination of directors suggested by Koor).

·

The Transferred Shares (including all rights or income therefrom) will be pledged by a first-degree pledge in favor of Koor, and any realization of such pledge will be subject to the receipt of the MOC's approval, if required.

·

In case of any dividend or other distribution (including rights by way of a rights offering), these will be transferred by the Israeli Shareholders to Koor. In case of other corporate actions, including conversion, sub-division, consolidation etc., Koor may notify the Israeli Shareholders, at its sole discretion, if such rights will be part of the Transferred Shares or shall be transferred to Koor.
