Telecom (or subsidiaries thereof) ("FT") has failed to pay the purchase price as 
required by the terms of the arbitral award issued by the International Court of 
Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce (the "Award") and has

offer on the same terms as the Award.  OTH has provided FT with documentary

of pledge. 
 
 
The payment of the purchase price under the Award was due by April 9th, 2009; 
however as sign of good faith, OTH had granted FT an extension until April 15th, 
2009 to transfer the purchase price and extend a public offer to the Egyptian 
Company for Mobile Services' "ECMS" shareholders in accordance with the Capital 
Market Authority "CMA" ruling issued on April 7th, 2009.
