Item 7.01.       Regulation FD Disclosure.

On February 24, 2011, certain members of management of Dex One Corporation (the “Company”) will be presenting at a Company sponsored Investor Day conference in New York. As part of the presentation, the Company will be issuing guidance for the first quarter of 2011 and full year 2011 for the Company and its direct and indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries as follows:
 
First quarter year over year decline in advertising sales of between 17 percent and 18 percent
Full year net revenue between $1,475 million and $1,525 million
Full year adjusted EBITDA between $600 million and $650 million
Full year adjusted free cash flow between $300 million and $350 million
 
This guidance for 2011 includes the impact of the delinquent account status of a single certified marketing representative.  In the first quarter, the ad sales impact is estimated to be minus 2 percent on a year over year basis.

Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted free cash flow are non-GAAP financial measures, which management believes will help investors better understand the Company’s outlook for 2011.  Full year operating income is expected to be between $401 million and $451 million.  Full year cash flow from operations is expected to be between $340 million and $390 million.
