         R.H. Donnelley Announces Tender Offer and Consent Solicitation

    CARY, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 21, 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, announced today that it is commencing a 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"), as well as a
related consent solicitation to amend the indenture governing the
Notes, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the
Company's Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation Statement dated
November 21, 2005. The tender offer and consent solicitation are
subject to the satisfaction of a number of conditions, including the
obtaining of satisfactory financing for the transaction, the receipt
of consents in respect of at least a majority of the principal amount
of Notes and the execution of a supplemental indenture in respect of
the proposed amendments.
    The total consideration to be paid for each validly tendered Note,
subject to the terms and conditions of the tender offer and consent
solicitation, 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 of
(1) the yield to maturity of the 3% U.S. Treasury Note due December
31, 2006 and (2) a fixed spread of 50 basis points (the "Total
Consideration").
    The Company is also soliciting consents from holders of the Notes
for certain amendments which would eliminate substantially all of the
restrictive covenants and certain of the events of default contained
in the indenture and the Notes and modify the covenant regarding
mergers, as well as modify or eliminate certain other provisions
contained in the indenture and the Notes. Adoption of the proposed
amendments requires the consent of holders of at least a majority of
the aggregate principal amount of Notes outstanding.
    The consent solicitation will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City
time, on Tuesday, December 6, 2005, unless earlier terminated or
extended (such date and time, as the same may be extended, the
"Consent Date"). 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 (the "Expiration
Date"), will be eligible to receive the Tender Offer Payment, which is
equal to the Total Consideration less $30.00 per $1,000 principal
amount of Notes (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 is
not extended. In addition, holders whose Notes are purchased will be
paid accrued and unpaid interest up to, but not including, the
settlement date.
    Holders who tender their Notes will be required to consent to the
proposed amendments and holders who consent will be required to tender
their Notes. Holders must validly tender their Notes and deliver their
consents on or prior to the Consent Date in order to be eligible to
receive the Total Consideration. Holders tendering Notes after the
Consent Date will only be eligible to receive the Tender Offer
Payment. Tendered Notes may not be withdrawn and consents may not be
revoked unless the Company reduces the amount of the Tender Offer
Payment, the Consent Payment or the principal amount of Notes subject
to the tender offer and consent solicitation, or if such withdrawals
or revocations are required by law.

strategic advantages and cost savings from the merger may not be fully
realized or may take longer to realize than expected; (5) disruption
from the merger making it more difficult to maintain relationships
with customers, employees or suppliers; and (6) general economic
conditions and consumer sentiment in our markets. Additional factors
