Item 8.01 Other Events.

On May 14, 2009, R.H. Donnelley Corporation (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing that it has entered into forbearance agreements with certain of its bondholders and bank lenders (the “Forbearance Agreements”) with respect to the consequences of the expiration of the 30-day grace period relating to a $55 million interest payment on one series of the Company’s senior unsecured notes. The relevant interest payment was due April 15, 2009 and the 30-day grace period for such payment expired on May 15, 2009. The bondholders and bank lenders party to the Forbearance Agreements agreed not to pursue their rights and remedies under the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ applicable debt agreements relating to such interest payment through May 28, 2009.

The Company also said that it would exercise a 30-day grace period on an aggregate of approximately $78 million in interest payments due on May 15, 2009 on four series of notes issued by its subsidiaries, the 11.75 percent Senior Notes due 2015 of R.H. Donnelley Inc., the 8 percent Notes due 2013 and 9 percent Discount Notes due 2013 of Dex Media, Inc. and the 5 7/8 percent Senior Notes due 2011 of Dex Media West LLC, while it continues to have discussions with ad hoc steering committees representing certain of its bondholders and bank lenders.

The Company said the missed interest payments on the subsidiary notes do not constitute events of default under the bond indentures or any of its or its subsidiaries’ other debt agreements unless R.H. Donnelley Inc., Dex Media, Inc. or Dex Media West LLC fails to make the payment within 30 days of the due date, absent an extension.

While the Company remains optimistic that it will be successful in its discussions with the ad hoc steering committees, there can be no guarantee of that outcome.

A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
