Introduction

 

As previously disclosed, on March 18, 2013, Dex One Corporation (“Dex One”) and all of its subsidiaries filed voluntary bankruptcy petitions in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the “Bankruptcy Court”) for reorganization under the provisions of Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”).  Concurrently with filing the bankruptcy petitions, Dex One and its subsidiaries filed and requested confirmation of a Joint Prepackaged Chapter 11 Plan (as modified and supplemented, the “Dex One Prepackaged Plan”), seeking to effect the merger and related transactions contemplated by the Amended and Restated Merger Agreement, dated as of December 5, 2012 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and between SuperMedia Inc. (“SuperMedia”), Dex One, Newdex, Inc. (“Newdex”), and Spruce Acquisition Sub, Inc. (“Spruce”).  Also on March 18, 2013, SuperMedia and all of its domestic subsidiaries filed separate voluntary bankruptcy petitions in the Bankruptcy Court, seeking approval of SuperMedia’s separate prepackaged plan of reorganization (together with the Dex One Prepackaged Plan, the “Prepackaged Plans”).

 

On April 29, 2013, the Bankruptcy Court held a hearing and entered separate orders confirming the Prepackaged Plans.  On April 30, 2013 (the “Effective Date”), SuperMedia and Dex One (1) consummated the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, including (a) the amendment and restatement of SuperMedia’s senior secured credit facility, (b) the merger of Dex One with and into Newdex (the “Dex Merger”), with Newdex continuing as the surviving corporation and changing its name to Dex Media, Inc. (“Dex Media”), (c) the merger of SuperMedia with and into Spruce (together with the Dex Merger, the “Merger”), with SuperMedia surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of Dex Media, and (d) the amendment and restatement of the credit facilities of R.H. Donnelley Inc., Dex Media West, Inc., and Dex Media East, Inc., (2) otherwise effected the transactions contemplated by the Prepackaged Plans, and (3) emerged from Chapter 11 protection.
