Consent Solicitation

    CARY, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 20, 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 expiration and final
results 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 tender offer and consent solicitation expired at Midnight, New
York City time, on December 19, 2005 (such date and time, the
"Expiration Date"). As of the Expiration Date, holders of $317.1
million in aggregate principal amount of Notes had tendered their
Notes pursuant to the tender offer. This participation represents
approximately 97.6% of the total principal amount of the Notes
outstanding. The Company has accepted for payment all of the Notes
validly tendered in the tender offer and consent solicitation, and
expects to pay today for all validly tendered Notes.
    Pursuant to the consent solicitation, consents to eliminate
substantially all of the restrictive covenants and certain other
provisions of the indenture governing the Notes were previously
obtained from at least a majority of the aggregate principal amount of
the outstanding Notes. As previously announced, after receipt of such
requisite consents, on December 6, 2005 the Company and the trustee
executed a supplemental indenture in respect of such amendments. The
amendments will become operative today upon payment for the Notes
accepted by the Company pursuant to the terms of the Offer to
Purchase.
