Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws.
     On February 26, 2008, the Board of Directors of R.H. Donnelley Corporation (the “Corporation”) (1) deemed it advisable that at the 2008 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (“Annual Meeting”), stockholders adopt amendments to the Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, to declassify the board of directors of the Corporation (the “Board”) and (2) subject to approval by the stockholders of the amendments to the Restated Certificate of Incorporation, approved amendments to the Third Amended and Restated Bylaws (the “Bylaws”) of the Corporation to declassify the Board as well as certain additional changes. On February 28, 2008, the Corporation filed a Current Report on Form 8-K (“February 8-K”) disclosing the foregoing matters.
     On May 15, 2008, at the Annual Meeting, the Corporation’s stockholders adopted the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation reflecting such amendments to declassify the Board. Previously, directors of the Corporation were divided into three classes and elected for three-year terms. At the Annual Meeting, the directors nominated by the Board were elected to serve three-year terms. At the Annual Meeting, stockholders of the Corporation adopted an Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation that provides for the annual election of directors commencing at the 2009 annual meeting of stockholders, to be fully effective at the 2011 annual meeting of stockholders.
     The foregoing description of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, a copy of which is incorporated herein by reference to Exhibit 3.1 hereto.
     Because the stockholders adopted the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation at the Annual Meeting, the Fourth Amended and Restated Bylaws (filed as Exhibit 3.1 to the February 8-K) are now fully effective without any condition.
