This Amendment No. 6 (the “Amendment”) is filed by Hutchison Whampoa Limited (“HWL”), Hutchison Telecommunications International Limited (“HTIL”), Advent Investments Pte Ltd (“Advent”) and Cheung Kong (Holdings) Limited (“Cheung Kong” and, together with HWL, HTIL and Advent, the “Reporting Persons”) and amends and supplements the Schedule 13D originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 3, 2002 and last amended on October 21, 2009 (the “Schedule 13D”) relating to the ordinary shares, par value New Israeli Shekel 0.01 (the “Ordinary Shares”), of Partner Communications Company Ltd. (the “Issuer”). Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined in this Amendment shall have the meanings set forth in the Schedule 13D.
| Item 4. | Purpose of Transaction. |
Upon the closing of the Share Sale on October 28, 2009, each of Advent, HTIL, HWL and Cheung Kong ceased to have any beneficially ownership in the Ordinary Shares.
Pursuant to the Agreement, the following directors of the Issuer resigned on the closing date of the Share Sale: Mr. FOK Kin-ning, Canning, Mrs. CHOW WOO Mo Fong, Susan, Mr. LUI Dennis Pok Man, Mr. CHAN Ting Yu, Mr. Pesach SHACHAR and Mr. Frank John SIXT.
| Item 5. | Interest in Securities of the Issuer. |
Cheung Kong, through its indirect ownership of approximately 49.97% of the issued shares of HWL and through its separate indirect ownership of 52,092,587 ordinary shares of HTIL, may be deemed, for purposes of Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act, to be the beneficial owner of any Ordinary Shares owned by Advent and to have sole power over the voting and disposition of such shares. However, pursuant to Rule 13d-4 under the Exchange Act, Cheung Kong expressly disclaims beneficial ownership of its interest in HTIL and Advent arising from its indirect interest in HWL, and further expressly had disclaimed beneficial ownership of the Ordinary Shares owned by Advent before the closing of the Share Sale.
(e) Advent, HTIL, HWL and Cheung Kong each ceased to have any beneficial ownership in the Ordinary Shares on October 28, 2009, the date of closing of the Share Sale.
