    R.H. Donnelley Announces Pricing of Tender Offer and Consent Solicitation


     CARY, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 15, 2005--R.H. Donnelley Inc. (the
"Company"), a wholly owned subsidiary of R.H. Donnelley Corporation (NYSE: RHD),
a leading Yellow Pages publisher and local online search company, today
announced the pricing terms of its previously announced cash tender offer for
any and all of its outstanding $325,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 8 7/8%
Senior Notes due 2010 (CUSIP Numbers: 749564AB6, 749564AA8, U76218AA1; together,
the "Notes") and the related consent solicitation under the Offer to Purchase
and Consent Solicitation Statement dated November 21, 2005 (the "Offer to
Purchase") and the related Letter of Transmittal and Consent.
     The total consideration for the Notes (the "Total Consideration"), which
will be payable in respect of the Notes that are accepted for payment and that
were validly tendered on or prior to the Consent Date (as defined below), will
be $1,079.74 per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes, which includes a $30.00
payment (a "Consent Payment"), payable only in respect of Notes that are
tendered on or prior to the Consent Date. In addition, holders will be paid
accrued and unpaid interest on the tendered Notes up to, but not including, the
settlement date.
     The Total Consideration for the Notes was determined as of 2:00 p.m., New
York City time, today and was calculated based in part on the 3% U.S. Treasury
Note due December 31, 2006 (the "Reference Security"). The Reference Security
yield and the tender offer yield are 4.437% and 4.937%, respectively. The Total
Consideration will be paid in cash and will be equal to the price that, as of
the settlement date, results in a yield to first call equal to the tender offer
yield.
     The consent solicitation will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time,
tomorrow, December 6, 2005, unless earlier terminated or extended (such date and
time, as the same may be extended, the "Consent Date"). Holders who tender their
Notes must consent to the proposed amendments, and tendered Notes generally may
not be withdrawn, subject to the terms and conditions in the Offer to Purchase.
     Holders who validly tender their Notes by the Consent Date will be eligible
to receive the Total Consideration. Holders who validly tender their Notes after
the Consent Date and on or prior to Midnight, New York City time, December 19,
2005, unless earlier terminated or extended (the "Expiration Date"), will be
eligible to receive the Tender Offer Consideration, which consists of the Total
Consideration less the Consent Payment.
     Subject to the terms and conditions of the tender offer and the consent
solicitation, Notes accepted for payment are expected to be paid for on December
20, 2005, assuming that the Expiration Date of the offer is not extended.
     The terms and conditions of the offer, including those relating to the
Company's obligation to accept Notes tendered and pay the tender offer
consideration, and, if applicable, the consent payment, are set forth in the
Offer to Purchase.

the Solicitation Agent for the consent solicitation and can be contacted at
