Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Principal Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Principal Officers

On May 12, 2005, R.H. Donnelley Corporation (“we” or the “Company”) issued a press release announcing the election by the Board of Directors of the Company of Messrs. Scott Flanders and Alan Schultz as members of the Board of Directors of the Company. The Company also announced in that release that Mr. Kenneth Campbell, a member of the Board of Directors since November 1999, had retired from the Board. The effective date of all of these events was May 10, 2005. A copy of that press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.

Mr. Flanders fills the vacancy on the Board created by Mr. Campbell’s retirement. Mr. Schultz fills a vacancy created by the Board’s decision to expand the number of Board seats to 10. Each of Messrs. Flanders and Schultz has been designated as a Class II director under our Restated Certificate of Incorporation, with a term expiring at the 2007 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. Each of Messrs. Flanders and Schultz were determined by the Board to be independent within the meaning of all applicable laws and regulations. There are no arrangements pursuant to which either of Messrs. Flanders or Schultz was nominated or elected as a director. Neither of Messrs. Flanders or Schultz beneficially owned any shares of our Common Stock prior to his election.

Mr. Campbell had been a member of our Corporate Governance and Compensation and Benefits Committees. Upon their election and Mr. Campbell’s retirement, Mr. Flanders became a member of our Audit and Finance Committee, and Mr. Schultz became a member of our Compensation and Benefits Committee.
