Donnelley to Acquire Dex MediaCreates Nation's Third Largest Yellow Pages Company Expands Local Commercial Search Platform Combines Complementary Operating Strengths and Markets CARY, NC & ENGLEWOOD, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 3, 2005--R.H. Donnelley Corporation (NYSE:RHD) and Dex Media, Inc. (NYSE:Dex), two leading yellow pages publishers and directional media companies, today announced that R.H. Donnelley has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Dex Media. Under the terms of the agreement, each Dex share will be exchanged for $12.30 in cash and 0.24154 RHD shares. In aggregate, current Dex shareholders will receive approximately $1,850 million in cash and 36.4 million RHD shares, for total equity consideration of approximately $4.2 billion. RHD will also assume Dex's net debt outstanding, expected to be approximately $5.3 billion at year end 2005. The combined company will be the third largest print and Internet directory publisher in the United States with pro forma annual revenues of over $2.7 billion. The company will operate coast-to-coast across 28 states with over 600 directories having a total circulation of 73 million, serving over 650,000 local and national advertisers. Strong Strategic Fit "We are thrilled to be joining with Dex Media. This combination will create a company with the scale, innovative products and services and proven business processes to lead our industry into the era of integrated local commercial search, encompassing both print and digital platforms," said David C. Swanson, R.H. Donnelley's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "Dex brings a proven marketing capability, a leading online operation and a track record for innovation that will allow us to accelerate our growth." "I look forward to working with Dave to help grow this business," said George Burnett, President and CEO of Dex Media. "RHD adds a long history of excellence in sales and marketing execution that should improve operational performance across the combined company. Significantly larger combined scale and portfolio of diversified and rapidly growing markets creates a powerful platform to drive advertising growth and efficiency of operations." Other Terms RHD has also agreed to repurchase the remaining outstanding convertible preferred stock issued upon completion of the Sprint Publishing and Advertising acquisition in January 2003 and held by investment partnerships affiliated with The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. for approximately $337 million including accrued dividends. The preferred shares were convertible into approximately 5.2 million RHD common shares as of September 30, 2005. The Goldman Sachs affiliates have agreed to vote in favor of the transaction and their warrants will remain outstanding. Upon completion of the transaction, current RHD and Dex shareholders will own approximately 47% and 53% of the combined company, respectively. The transaction is subject to approval from each company's shareholders, regulatory approval and other closing conditions and is expected to close in the first quarter of 2006. RHD and Dex will appoint 7 and 6 directors, respectively, to the 13 member board. Both Carlyle and Welsh, Carson, Anderson & Stowe, who collectively own 52% of Dex, have agreed to vote in favor of the transaction and will each appoint 1 of the Dex appointees to the board. Name, Headquarters and Management The combined company, to be named R.H. Donnelley Corporation, will be traded on the NYSE under the ticker symbol RHD and will continue to be headquartered in Cary, North Carolina. The combined company will be led by Dave Swanson as Chief Executive Officer, Peter McDonald as Chief Operating Officer and Steve Blondy as Chief Financial Officer. George Burnett will serve as Chairman of the Board of Directors. Burnett commented, "Our complementary management groups and best practices will form what I believe to be a team and organization that is unsurpassed in the Yellow Pages industry and among the leaders in local commercial search." Swanson added, "I am very excited to work side-by-side with George and all of the talented employees at Dex. I've long admired his strategic leadership and know our company will benefit greatly from his vision and innovative marketing expertise." Integration Plans and Synergies The two companies are developing integration plans that build on the cultural similarities and the best practices from each company. Swanson said, "We will approach integration in a manner that closely mirrors the process we employed in connection with the highly successful Sprint Publishing & Advertising acquisition." In addition to significantly enhanced revenue opportunities, the combined company expects to generate cost savings of $50 million by the third year following the close of the transaction. The majority of the cost savings will be derived by eliminating redundant IT systems and corporate general and administrative functions. Financing J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. has provided commitments for approximately $10.4 billion for both the new financing and to support certain existing debt in the event any existing debt is refinanced.

DONNELLEY AND DEX MEDIA NOTES TO FULL YEAR 2005 GUIDANCE AND NON-GAAP MEASURES - ------------------------------------------------------ The accompanying press release schedules include 2005 full year guidance for both R.H. Donnelley and Dex Media, on a stand-alone basis. These schedules do not include any conforming accounting adjustments between the two companies nor do they reflect any synergies to be realized upon the combination. (1) Publishing revenue is recognized using the deferral and amortization method of accounting. Under this method, when a directory is published, the publication sales value is deferred and amortized into the income statement ratably over the life of the directory, which is typically 12 months. (2) As a result of the SBC transaction and the related financing and associated accounting, 2005 results reported in accordance with GAAP are not comparable, nor do they reflect the Donnelley's underlying operational or financial performance. Accordingly, management is presenting certain non-GAAP financial measures in addition to results reported in accordance with GAAP in order to better communicate underlying operational and financial performance and to facilitate comparison of adjusted 2005 performance. Adjusted results for 2005 exclude the impact of purchase accounting as well as certain other adjustments. (3) The preferred dividend and the loss on repurchase of Preferred Stock is excluded because the adjusted results for the year ended December 31, 2005 assume the Preferred Stock was completely converted to Common Stock at the beginning of the period and therefore no dividends would have been payable and no loss on the repurchase would have been recorded. (4) Adjustments for the year ended December 31, 2005 include revenue and expenses for directories acquired from SBC that published prior to the acquisition that would have been recognized during the period absent purchase accounting adjustments required under GAAP. Additionally, the cost uplift reported under GAAP to eliminate profit on sales contracts completed before the acquisition date for directories not yet published at the acquisition date has also been removed. (5) EBITDA represents earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA represents adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. EBITDA and adjusted EBTIDA are not measurements of operating performance computed in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as a substitute for operating income or net income prepared in conformity with GAAP. In addition, EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Adjusted EBITDA outlook does not include costs related to this transaction. (6) Adjusted EBITDA outlook for Dex Media excludes $6 million in severance costs incurred in 2005 related to workforce reduction. Adjusted free cash flow outlook for Dex Media excludes $9 million in severance costs paid in 2005. (7) Free cash flow outlook is not reduced by PIK interest. (8) Revenue includes the impact of increased deferred revenue related to accounting for agreements that involve the delivery of new product offerings in addition to the delivery of existing products. Revenue is also impacted by the timing of Qwest's purchases under the Advertising Commitment Agreement and the discontinuation of certain direct marketing products. (9) This is a non-GAAP measure. R.H. Donnelley revenue adjusted to remove the impact of purchase accounting associated with the SBC transaction. CONTACT: R.H.
