The Company's voluntary filing for Chapter 11 on March 18, 2013 triggered an event of default that rendered the remaining financial obligations under our Dex One Senior Subordinated Notes and Credit Facilities automatically and immediately due and payable. Although we believe that any efforts to enforce the acceleration of these financial obligations are stayed as a result of the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases in the Bankruptcy Court, we have classified our Dex One Senior Subordinated Notes and Credit Facilities as current obligations on our consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2012. See Note 1, "Business and Basis of Presentation - Going Concern" for additional information. Outstanding debt at December 31, 2012 if held to contractual maturity, (1) excluding fair value adjustments as a result of fresh start accounting and (2) assuming the issuance of additional Dex One Senior Subordinated Notes as a result of the Company's election to make PIK interest payments until maturity totals $2,122.7 million.

Credit Facilities

RHDI Amended and Restated Credit Facility

In conjunction with the Credit Facility Repurchases, RHDI repurchased $92.0 million of loans under the RHDI Amended and Restated Credit Facility at a rate of 43.5% of par. As of December 31, 2012, the outstanding carrying value under the RHDI Amended and Restated Credit Facility totaled $776.0 million. The RHDI Amended and Restated Credit Facility requires quarterly principal and interest payments at our option at either:

The highest (subject to a floor of 4.00%) of (i) the Prime Rate (as defined in the RHDI Amended and Restated Credit Facility), (ii) the Federal Funds Effective Rate (as defined in the RHDI Amended and Restated Credit Facility) plus 0.50%, and (iii) one month LIBOR plus 1.00% in each case, plus an interest rate margin for base rate loans. The interest rate margin for base rate loans is initially 5.25% per annum, and such interest rate margin adjusts pursuant to a pricing grid that provides for a margin equal to 5.25% per annum if RHDI’s consolidated leverage ratio is greater than or equal to 4.25 to 1.00, and equal to 5.00% per annum if RHDI’s consolidated leverage ratio is less than 4.25 to 1.00; or
The higher of (i) LIBOR rate and (ii) 3.00%, in each case, plus an interest rate margin for Eurodollar loans. The interest rate margin for Eurodollar loans is initially 6.25% per annum, and such interest rate margin adjusts pursuant to a pricing grid that provides for a margin equal to 6.25% per annum if RHDI’s consolidated leverage ratio is greater than or equal to 4.25 to 1.00, and equal to 6.00% per annum if RHDI’s consolidated leverage ratio is less than 4.25 to 1.00. RHDI may elect interest periods of one, two, three or six months for LIBOR borrowings.

Each of our Credit Facilities require significant balloon payments upon maturity on October 24, 2014. If the Company is unable to extend the maturity or significantly reduce our outstanding indebtedness prior to maturity by either (1) completing the Mergers and associated refinancing of our Credit Facilities through the Chapter 11 Cases, (2) open market repurchases as permitted by the Amendments to our Credit Facilities, (3) obtaining additional financing and/or (4) refinancing our existing indebtedness separate from the Mergers and Chapter 11 Cases, we will not be able to generate cash flows from operations in amounts sufficient to fund operations and capital expenditures and/or satisfy debt service requirements at that time. In addition, if the Company was to become non-compliant with restrictive covenants under our debt agreements prior to October 24, 2014, default provisions would be triggered under our Credit Facilities and outstanding balances could become due immediately. The Company continues to monitor and assess all available options and opportunities that would allow us to accomplish these financing initiatives; however, no assurances can be made that these financing initiatives will be attained.

Each of the Credit Facilities described above includes an uncommitted revolving credit facility available for borrowings up to $40.0 million. The availability of such uncommitted revolving credit facility is subject to certain conditions including the prepayment of the term loans under each of the Credit Facilities in an amount equal to such revolving credit facility.

The Credit Facilities contain provisions for prepayment from net proceeds of asset dispositions, equity issuances and debt issuances subject to certain exceptions, from a ratable portion of the net proceeds received by the Company from asset dispositions by the Company, subject to certain exceptions, and from a portion of excess cash flow.

Each of the Credit Facilities described above contain certain covenants that, subject to exceptions, limit or restrict each borrower and its subsidiaries’ incurrence of liens, investments (including acquisitions), sales of assets, indebtedness, payment of dividends, distributions and payments of certain indebtedness, sale and leaseback transactions, swap transactions, affiliate transactions, capital expenditures and mergers, liquidations and consolidations. Each Credit Facility also contains certain covenants that, subject to exceptions, limit or restrict each borrower’s incurrence of liens, indebtedness, ownership of assets, sales of assets, payment of dividends or distributions or modifications of the Dex One Senior Subordinated Notes. Each borrower is required to maintain compliance with a consolidated leverage ratio covenant. RHDI and DMW Inc. are also required to maintain compliance with a consolidated interest coverage ratio covenant. DMW Inc. is also required to maintain compliance with a consolidated senior secured leverage ratio covenant. The Dex Media West Amended and Restated Credit Agreement includes an option for additional covenant relief under the senior secured leverage covenant through the fourth quarter of 2011, subject to increased amortization of the loans through the first quarter of 2012, an increase in the excess cash flow sweep for 2011 and payment of a 25 basis point fee ratably to the lenders under the Dex Media West Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. On March 31, 2010, the Company exercised the Senior Secured Leverage Ratio Election, as defined in the Dex Media West Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. The Company incurred a fee of $2.1 million to exercise this option.

The obligations under each of the Credit Facilities are guaranteed by our subsidiaries and are secured by a lien on substantially all of our and our subsidiaries’ tangible and intangible assets, including a pledge of the stock of their respective subsidiaries, as well as a mortgage on certain real property, if any.

Pursuant to a shared guaranty and collateral agreement and subject to an intercreditor agreement among the administrative agents under each of the Credit Facilities, the Company and, subject to certain exceptions, certain subsidiaries of the Company, guaranty the obligations under each of the Credit Facilities and the obligations are secured by a lien on substantially all of such guarantors’ tangible and intangible assets (other than the assets of the Company’s subsidiary, Dex One Digital), including a pledge of the stock of their respective subsidiaries, as well as a mortgage on certain real property, if any.

Notes

Dex One Senior Subordinated Notes

In conjunction with the Note Repurchases, the Company repurchased $98.2 million aggregate principal amount of Dex One Senior Notes at a rate of 27.0% of par. As of December 31, 2012, the outstanding carrying value of the Dex One Senior Subordinated Notes totaled $219.7 million. Interest on the Dex One Senior Subordinated Notes is payable semi-annually on March 31st and September 30th of each year, commencing on March 31, 2010 through January 29, 2017. The Dex One Senior Subordinated Notes accrue interest at an annual rate of 12% for cash interest payments and 14% if the Company elects PIK interest payments. The Company may elect, no later than two business days prior to the beginning of any such semi-annual interest period, whether to make each interest payment on the Dex One Senior Subordinated Notes (i) entirely in cash or (ii) 50% in cash and 50% in PIK interest, which is capitalized as additional senior subordinated notes. In the absence of such an election for any subsequent semi-annual interest period, interest on the Dex One Senior Subordinated Notes will be payable in the form of the interest payment for the semi-annual interest period immediately preceding such subsequent semi-annual interest period. For the semi-annual interest periods ending September 30, 2012 and March 31, 2012, the Company made interest payments 50% in cash and 50% in PIK interest, as permitted by the indenture governing the Dex One Senior Subordinated Notes, resulting in the issuance of an additional $7.4 million and $10.5 million, respectively, of Dex One Senior Subordinated Notes. The Company will continue to make interest payments on the Dex One Senior Subordinated Notes 50% in cash and 50% in PIK interest for the semi-annual interest period ending March 31, 2013. The interest rate on the Dex One Senior Subordinated Notes may be subject to adjustment in the event the Company incurs certain specified debt with a higher effective yield to maturity than the yield to maturity of the Dex One Senior Subordinated Notes.

The Dex One Senior Subordinated Notes are unsecured obligations of the Company, effectively subordinated in right of payment to all of the Company’s existing and future secured debt, including Dex One’s guarantee of borrowings under each of the Credit Facilities and are structurally subordinated to any existing or future liabilities (including trade payables) of our direct and indirect subsidiaries.

The indenture governing the Dex One Senior Subordinated Notes contains certain covenants that, subject to certain exceptions, among other things, limit or restrict the Company’s (and, in certain cases, the Company’s restricted subsidiaries’) incurrence of indebtedness, making of certain restricted payments, incurrence of liens, entry into transactions with affiliates, conduct of its business and the merger, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of its property. The indenture governing the Dex One Senior Subordinated Notes also requires the Company to offer to repurchase the Dex One Senior Subordinated Notes at par after certain changes of control involving the Company or the sale of substantially all of the assets of the Company. Holders of the Dex One Senior Subordinated Notes also may cause the Company to repurchase the Dex One Senior Subordinated Notes at a price of 101% of the principal amount upon the incurrence by the Company of certain acquisition indebtedness.

The Dex One Senior Subordinated Notes are redeemable at our option at the following prices (as a percentage of face value):

Impact of Fresh Start Accounting

In conjunction with our adoption of fresh start accounting, an adjustment was established to record our outstanding debt at fair value on the Fresh Start Reporting Date. The Company was required to record our Credit Facilities at a discount as a result of their fair value on the Fresh Start Reporting Date. Therefore, the carrying amount of these debt obligations is lower than the principal amount due at maturity. A total discount of $120.2 million was recorded upon adoption of fresh start accounting associated with our Credit Facilities, of which $36.7 million remains unamortized at December 31, 2012, as shown in the following table.

In conjunction with the Credit Facility Repurchases, we accelerated amortization of fair value adjustments to our Credit Facilities of $2.0 million, which partially offset the net gain on Credit Facility Repurchases recognized during the year ended December 31, 2012.
