Explanatory Note
On April 14, 2008, R.H. Donnelley Corporation (the Company) filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission on Schedule 14A definitive proxy materials in connection with its Annual
Meeting of Stockholders. The proxy materials included a proposal for
stockholders to approve
a program under which the Companys current employees will be permitted to surrender certain
presently outstanding stock options and stock appreciation rights
(SARs), with exercise prices of
$10.00 per share or more, in exchange for fewer new SARs, with new vesting requirements and an
exercise price equal to the fair market value of our common stock on the grant date (the Exchange
Program).
On May 15, 2008, the Companys stockholders approved the Exchange Program, and the Company issued a
letter to that effect to certain of its employees. That letter is attached as Exhibit 99.1 hereto.
Tender offer statement
This is for informational purposes only and is not an offer to buy, or the solicitation of any
offer to sell, any shares. The full details of any tender offer, including complete instructions
on how to tender will be included in the Schedule TO and related materials, which would be mailed
to holders of options and stock appreciation rights promptly following commencement of the offer.
Holders of options and SARs should read carefully such materials when they are available because
they will contain important information. Holders of options and SARs may obtain free copies, when
available, of such materials that will be filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange
Commission at the Commissions website at www.sec.gov. When available, holders of options and SARs
also may obtain a copy of these documents, free of charge, from the Company.
