TO CAREFULLY READ THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT AND JOINT PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS (INCLUDING
ALL AMENDMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTS) AND OTHER RELEVANT DOCUMENTS FILED WITH THE SEC WHEN THEY BECOME

THE TRANSACTION AND THE RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH THE TRANSACTION. A definitive joint proxy
statement/prospectus will be sent to security holders of SuperMedia and Dex seeking their approval of
the proposed transaction. Investors and security holders may obtain a free copy of the joint

Basis of Presentation and Non-GAAP Financial Measures
For the readers' convenience, the financial information accompanying this release provides a
reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP and adjusted non-GAAP measures. SuperMedia and
Dex One believe that the use of non-GAAP financial measures provides useful information to investors to
gain an overall understanding of its current and expected financial performance. Specifically, both
companies believe the non-GAAP results provide useful information to both management and
investors by excluding certain expenses, gains and losses that the companies believe are not
indicative of their core operating results. In addition, non-GAAP financial measures are used by
each companys management for budgeting and forecasting as well as subsequently measuring
each companys performance and both companies believe that they are providing investors with
financial measures that most closely align to their internal measurement processes.

Forward-Looking Statements
3
Certain statements contained in this document are "forward-looking statements" subject to
the safe harbor created by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including but
not limited to, statements about the benefits of the proposed transaction and combined company, including future financial and operating
results and synergies, plans, objectives, expectations and intentions and other statements relating to
the proposed transaction and the combined company that are not historical facts. Where
possible, the words "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "intend," "should," "will," "would," "planned," "estimated," "potential," "goal,"
"outlook," "may," "predicts," "could," or the negative of such terms,
or other comparable expressions, as they relate to Dex, SuperMedia, the combined company or
their respective management, have been used to identify such forward-looking statements. All
forward-looking statements reflect only Dexs and SuperMedias current beliefs
and assumptions with respect to future business plans, prospects, decisions and results, and are based on information currently available to Dex
and SuperMedia. Accordingly, the statements are subject to significant risks, uncertainties and
contingencies, which could cause Dexs, SuperMedias or the combined companys
actual operating results, performance or business plans or prospects to differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, these
statements.
Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations include risks
and other factors described in Dexs and SuperMedias publicly available reports
filed with the SEC, which contain discussions of various factors that may affect the business or financial results of Dex, SuperMedia or the
combined company. Such risks and other factors, which in some instances are beyond either
companys control, include: the continuing decline in the use of print directories;
increased competition, particularly from existing and emerging digital technologies; ongoing weak economic conditions and continued decline in
advertising sales; the companies ability to collect trade receivables from customers to whom
they extend credit; the companies ability to generate sufficient cash to service their
debt; the companies ability to comply with the financial covenants contained in their debt agreements and the potential impact to operations and
liquidity as a result of restrictive covenants in such debt agreements; the companies ability to
refinance or restructure their debt on reasonable terms and conditions as might be necessary
from time to time; increasing interest rates; changes in the companies and the companies subsidiaries credit ratings; changes
in accounting standards; regulatory changes and judicial rulings impacting the companies
businesses; adverse results from litigation, governmental investigations or tax related
proceedings or audits; the effect of labor strikes, lock-outs and negotiations; successful realization of the expected benefits of acquisitions,
divestitures and joint ventures; the companies ability to maintain agreements with major
Internet search and local media companies; the companies reliance on third-party
vendors for various services; and other events beyond their control that may result in unexpected adverse operating results.
With respect to the proposed merger, important factors could cause actual results to differ materially
from those indicated by forward-looking statements included herein, including, but not
limited to, the ability of Dex and SuperMedia to consummate the transaction on the terms set forth in the merger agreement; the risk that
anticipated cost savings, growth opportunities and other financial and operating benefits as a
result of the transaction may not be realized or may take longer to realize than expected; the
risk that benefits from the transaction may be significantly offset by costs incurred in integrating the companies; potential adverse
impacts or delay in completing the transaction as a result of obtaining consents from lenders to Dex
or SuperMedia; failure to receive the approval of the stockholders of either Dex or SuperMedia
for the transaction; and difficulties in connection with the process of integrating Dex and SuperMedia, including:
coordinating geographically separate organizations; integrating business cultures, which could prove
to be incompatible; difficulties and costs of integrating information technology systems; and
the potential difficulty in retaining key officers and personnel. These risks, as well as other risks associated with the merger,
will be more fully discussed in the proxy statement/prospectus included in the registration statement
on Form S-4 that Newdex intends to file with the SEC in connection with the proposed
transaction. None of Dex, SuperMedia or the combined company is responsible for updating the information contained
in this document beyond the publication date, or for changes made to this document by wire
services or Internet service providers. |
