(NASDAQ and TASE: BCOM) announced today that Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services (“S&P”) has affirmed the Company’s international corporate credit rating of “BB-” with a “Stable” outlook.

S&P added that Bezeq’s competitive position should enable it to continue paying out 100% of its net income as dividends.

“As the S&P report points out, our controlling stake in Bezeq is a unique and stable asset that B Communications can leverage to create value for shareholders,” said Doron Turgeman, CEO of B Communications. “Bezeq’s dividend policy, which calls for the company to pay out 100% of its net income as dividends, provides us with a steady stream of cash flows that we can use to continue to improve our balance sheet, and when prudent, return to shareholders. Looking ahead, we will continue to take the necessary steps to enhance our credit profile and optimize our capital structure.”
