Matav Provides Details of Compensation of its Intended CEO

NETANYA, Israel – June 8 , 2006 – Matav-Cable Systems Media Ltd. (NASDAQ & TASE: MATV) reported today, further to the previously announced appointment of Mr. David Kaminitz as the new CEO of the merged operations of Matav and the other two Israeli cable companies (operating under the brand name “Hot”), that its Board of Directors approved the terms of employment of Mr. Kaminitz.

Mr. Kaminitz, who is intended to serve as the CEO of Matav following the merger between the cable companies, if and when consummated, served as the CEO of Barak I.T.C.

Under the employment agreement, Mr. Kaminitz will be entitled, among other things, to (1) a gross monthly salary of NIS 90,000 (approximately $20,100), linked to the Israeli consumer price index, and (2) options to purchase shares representing 0.35% of Matav’s share capital following the merger for each year of employment, up to 1.4% of Matav’s share capital in the aggregate, at an exercise price equal to the average of Matav’s share price on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange during April 2006. The employment agreement contains additional customary provisions, including the ability of either party to terminate the employment without cause upon six months advance notice.
