Dex One, SuperMedia Announce Date for Stockholder Meetings
Print
Alert
Dex One Corp. (NYSE:DEXO)
Intraday Stock Chart
Today : Monday 11 February 2013


Dex One Corporation (NYSE: DEXO) and SuperMedia Inc. (NASDAQ: SPMD) announced today each company will hold a special stockholder meeting on March 13, 2013 to vote on the proposed merger of the companies as announced in August 2012. Both companies are mailing a joint proxy statement/prospectus to their respective stockholders this week. Newdex, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Dex One, also filed a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission that provides details of the proposed merger.

The companies expect to complete the transaction in the first half of 2013.

Dex One will hold its stockholder meeting on March 13, at 1 p.m. Eastern, at Dex One’s corporate headquarters located at 1001 Winstead Dr., Cary, NC 27513. SuperMedia will hold its stockholder meeting on March 13, at 12 p.m. Central, at SuperMedia’s corporate headquarters located at 2200 West Airfield Dr., D/FW Airport, TX 75261.

Each company’s stockholders of record as of January 25, 2013 are entitled to vote at their respective meeting. The boards of directors of both companies have unanimously recommended approval of the merger.

To date, a significant majority of senior lenders for both companies support the transaction. In the event the companies do not obtain unanimous support from their remaining lenders, either or both companies may seek to complete the merger by means of a pre-packaged bankruptcy.

By merging, the two companies expect to accelerate the transformation of the newly combined business and:

Improve Positioning for Growth
National scale and scope – more than 3,100 marketing consultants across the U.S.
Greater market share – supporting more than 670,000 businesses

Important Information For Investors and Security Holders

This communication does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities or a solicitation of any vote or approval. The proposed merger transaction between SuperMedia Inc. (“SuperMedia”) and Dex One Corporation (“Dex”) will be submitted to the respective stockholders of SuperMedia and Dex. In connection with the proposed transaction, Newdex, Inc., a subsidiary of Dex (“Newdex”), has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) a registration statement on Form S-4 that includes a joint proxy statement/prospectus to be used by SuperMedia and Dex to solicit the required approval of their stockholders and that also constitutes a prospectus of Newdex. INVESTORS AND SECURITY HOLDERS OF SUPERMEDIA AND DEX ARE ADVISED TO CAREFULLY READ THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT AND JOINT PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS (INCLUDING ALL AMENDMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTS) AND OTHER RELEVANT DOCUMENTS FILED WITH THE SEC BECAUSE THEY CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE TRANSACTION, THE PARTIES TO 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 proxy statement/prospectus and other relevant documents filed by SuperMedia and Dex with the SEC from the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. Copies of the documents filed by SuperMedia with the SEC are available free of charge on SuperMedia’s website at www.supermedia.com under the tab “Investors” or by contacting SuperMedia’s Investor Relations Department at (877) 343-3272. Copies of the documents filed by Dex with the SEC are available free of charge on Dex’s website at www.dexone.com under the tab “Investors” or by contacting Dex’s Investor Relations Department at (800) 497-6329.

SuperMedia and Dex and their respective directors, executive officers and certain other members of management may be deemed to be participants in the solicitation of proxies from their respective security holders with respect to the transaction. Information about these persons is set forth in the joint proxy statement prospectus and Dex’s proxy statement relating to its 2012 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, as filed with the SEC on March 22, 2012, and subsequent statements of changes in beneficial ownership on file with the SEC. These documents can be obtained free of charge from the sources described above. Security holders and investors may obtain additional information regarding the interests of such persons, which may be different than those of the respective companies’ security holders generally, by reading the joint proxy statement/prospectus and other relevant documents regarding the transaction (when available), which will be filed with the SEC.

Forward-Looking Statements

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 Dex’s and SuperMedia’s 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 Dex’s, SuperMedia’s or the combined company’s 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 Dex’s and SuperMedia’s 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 company’s 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, are more fully discussed in the proxy statement/prospectus included in the registration statement on Form S-4 that Newdex has filed 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.

Paulson & Co. Inc.
John Slater has served as a director of SuperMedia since January 21, 2010. Mr. Slater was nominated by Paulson, pursuant to a standstill agreement between SuperMedia and Paulson, to serve on the SuperMedia board of directors. He currently serves as a senior vice president at Paulson & Co. Inc. According to a Schedule 13D filed by Paulson on January 11, 2010, Paulson reported that it beneficially owned 2,607,506 shares of common stock of SuperMedia, or approximately 16.8% of SuperMedia’s outstanding common stock. According to a Schedule 13D filed by Paulson on February 14, 2011, Paulson reported that it beneficially owned 3,676,394 shares of common stock of Dex One, or approximately 7.35% of Dex One’s outstanding common stock. Mr. Slater abstained from the vote of the SuperMedia board of directors to approve the transaction. In addition, Mr. Slater is currently employed by Paulson, a significant holder of common stock and senior indebtedness of SuperMedia, and the consummation of the transaction may be a material factor in determining discretionary compensation he may be paid by Paulson. Mr. Slater served as a member of the unofficial steering committee of SuperMedia’s secured lenders that negotiated the terms of the financing amendments.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
The following are some questions that you, as a stockholder of either Dex One or SuperMedia, may have regarding the merger agreement, the transaction, the financing amendments, the prepackaged plans, and the special meetings of stockholders and the answers to those questions. Dex One and SuperMedia urge you to read the remainder of this document carefully because the information in this section does not provide all the information that might be important to you in determining how to vote on the various proposals. Additional important information is also contained in the appendices to, and the documents incorporated by reference into, this document.
General

Q: What is the transaction being proposed?

A: The transaction being proposed is a stock-for-stock merger between Dex One and SuperMedia under the terms of a merger agreement that is described in this document. First, the merger agreement provides for Dex One to merge with and into its direct, wholly owned subsidiary, Dex Media, with Dex Media surviving the merger. This merger is sometimes referred to in this document as the “Dex One merger.” Second, immediately following the consummation of the Dex One merger, the merger agreement provides for the merger of Spruce Acquisition Sub, Inc. (“Merger Sub”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Dex Media, with and into SuperMedia, with SuperMedia surviving the merger as a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Dex Media. This merger is sometimes referred to in this document as the “SuperMedia merger.” As a result of the mergers, SuperMedia will be a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Dex Media. This series of mergers is referred to herein as the “mergers” or the “transaction.” A copy of the merger agreement is attached to this document as Appendix A.

Q: What are the financing amendments?

A: It is a condition to consummating the transaction in an out of court process that three of Dex One’s wholly owned subsidiaries, RHDI, DME and DMW, which are borrowers under their respective secured credit facilities, and SuperMedia obtain approval from their respective senior secured lenders to amend and restate their respective senior secured credit facilities. For the RHDI, DME and DMW secured credit facilities, the maturity dates will be extended from October 24, 2014 to December 31, 2016. The maturity date of the SuperMedia secured credit facility will be extended from December 31, 2015 to December 31, 2016. The interest rate spreads under the amended and restated credit facilities will be revised in accordance with the table below. For additional information regarding the various secured credit facilities, please refer to “Description of Certain Indebtedness.”

Q: What are the prepackaged plans?

A: The prepackaged plans are an alternative means by which to consummate the transaction, including the financing amendments, through Chapter 11 cases. In the event that either Dex One or SuperMedia is unable to obtain unanimous lender approval or the approval of holders of a majority of its common stock to consummate the transaction outside of court, Dex One or SuperMedia, as applicable, may seek confirmation of the prepackaged plans in Chapter 11 cases. At this time, neither Dex One nor SuperMedia has taken any action approving a bankruptcy filing. A copy of the Dex One prepackaged plan is attached to this document as Appendix F and a copy of the SuperMedia prepackaged plan is attached to this document as Appendix G. For a more detailed description of the prepackaged plans, see “The Prepackaged Plans.” A description of the votes required to accept the prepackaged plans is included later in this “Questions and Answers” section.

Q: What are the primary costs, disadvantages and advantages of consummating the transaction through the prepackaged plans rather than outside of court?

A: Consummating the transaction through the prepackaged plans adds extra costs and uncertainties inherent in the bankruptcy process. The costs of the bankruptcy process could be material and could include both direct costs, including fees paid to attorneys and professionals, and indirect costs, such as adverse impacts on customer relations. In addition, there can be no assurance that the Bankruptcy Court will confirm the prepackaged plans.
On the other hand, consummating the transaction through the prepackaged plans provides several benefits to Dex One and SuperMedia’s stockholders, including the ability to consummate the transaction without obtaining unanimous lender approval of the financing amendments.

Q: Why am I receiving this document?

A: You are receiving this document because you were a stockholder of record of Dex One or SuperMedia on the record date for the Dex One or SuperMedia special meeting, as applicable, and therefore entitled to vote on the transaction and the applicable prepackaged plan. Dex One stockholders and SuperMedia stockholders are requested to (1) approve and adopt the merger agreement and the transactions it contemplates and (2) accept the prepackaged plans to permit the transaction to be consummated even if unanimous lender approval or majority stockholder approval is not obtained.
This document contains important information about the transaction, the financing amendments, the prepackaged plans, the solicitation of votes on the various proposals and the meetings of the respective stockholders of Dex One and SuperMedia, and you should read it carefully and in its entirety. Dex One and SuperMedia will hold separate special meetings. The enclosed proxy and ballot, which includes detailed instructions for completing the proxy and ballot, allows you to vote your shares without attending your respective special meeting in person.
Your vote is important. We encourage you to vote as soon as possible and, in any case, you must submit your proxy and ballot so that it is received no later than the voting deadline.

v
Table of Contents

Dex One’s and SuperMedia’s boards of directors unanimously recommend that you vote “FOR” the proposals to approve and adopt the merger agreement and vote to “ACCEPT” the applicable prepackaged plan.

Q: What will I receive in the transaction?

A: If the transaction is completed, whether completed out of court or through Chapter 11 cases, (a) Dex One stockholders will receive 0.2 shares of Dex Media common stock for each share of Dex One common stock that they hold at the effective time of the Dex One merger (the “Dex One Exchange Ratio”), and (b) SuperMedia stockholders will receive 0.4386 shares of Dex Media common stock for each share of SuperMedia common stock that they hold at the effective time of the SuperMedia merger (the “SuperMedia Exchange Ratio”). The quotient of the SuperMedia Exchange Ratio and the Dex One Exchange Ratio is referred to herein as the “exchange ratio.” We anticipate that Dex One stockholders will hold approximately 60% and SuperMedia stockholders will hold approximately 40% of Dex Media’s common stock issued and outstanding immediately after the completion of the transaction. Dex One and SuperMedia stockholders will also be entitled to any dividends declared and paid by Dex Media with a record date after the effective time of the transaction after their shares of Dex One common stock have been converted or after their shares of SuperMedia common stock have been converted or their certificates representing shares of SuperMedia common stock have been surrendered, as applicable.

Q: What is the value of the merger consideration?

A: Dex Media will issue 0.2 shares of Dex Media common stock for each share of Dex One common stock and 0.4386 shares of Dex Media common stock for each share of SuperMedia common stock whether the transaction is consummated out of court or in Chapter 11 cases. Therefore, the value of the merger consideration that Dex One and SuperMedia stockholders receive will depend on the price per share of Dex Media common stock, at and after the effective time of the transaction. That price will not be known at the time of the special meetings (the voting deadline) and may be less than the current price of Dex One or SuperMedia common stock or the price of such stock at the time of the special meetings. We urge you to obtain current market quotations for Dex One common stock and SuperMedia common stock. See “Risk Factors.”
The following table shows the closing sale prices of Dex One common stock and SuperMedia common stock as reported on the NYSE or NASDAQ, respectively, on August 20, 2012, the last trading day before we announced the transaction, and on February 6, 2013, the last practicable trading day before the distribution of this document. This table also shows the implied value of the transaction consideration proposed for each share of Dex One common stock and SuperMedia common stock.

$ 1.24 $ 2.58 $ 1.24 $ 2.72
At February 6, 2013

1.77 3.91 1.77 3.88

(1) As a result of the Dex One merger, for each share of Dex One common stock, each Dex One stockholder will receive one-fifth of a share of Dex Media common stock. Consequently, the implied value of a share of Dex Media common stock for any given day is calculated as five times the closing price of Dex One common stock on such day ($6.20 at August 20, 2012 and $8.85 at February 6, 2013, which reflects a 1-for-5 reverse stock split of Dex One common stock). While the implied value of a share of Dex Media is five times the implied value of a share of Dex One common stock, Dex One stockholders will receive one-fifth of a share of Dex Media common stock, so it is estimated that the mergers will have no economic effect on a holder of Dex One common stock.
(2) Calculated by multiplying the implied value of Dex Media common stock ($6.20 at August 20, 2012 and $8.85 at February 6, 2013) by 0.4386 (the exchange ratio for SuperMedia common stock).

Table of Contents

Q: When and where will the special meetings be held?

A: The Dex One special meeting will be held at Dex One’s corporate headquarters, 1001 Winstead Drive, Cary, North Carolina 27513, on March 13, 2013 at 1:00 p.m., local time.
The SuperMedia special meeting will be held at SuperMedia’s corporate headquarters, 2200 West Airfield Drive, D/FW Airport, Texas 75261, on March 13, 2013 at 12:00 p.m., local time.

Q: Who is entitled to vote?

A: The record date for the Dex One special meeting is January 25, 2013. Only record holders of shares of Dex One common stock at the close of business on such date are entitled to notice of the Dex One special meeting or any adjournment or postponement of the Dex One special meeting and to vote for or against the Dex One out of court proposal and to accept or reject Dex One prepackaged plan. If the Dex One special meeting is adjourned, the voting deadline will automatically be moved to the time that is 30 minutes after the Dex One special meeting is reconvened.
The record date for the SuperMedia special meeting is January 25, 2013. Only record holders of shares of SuperMedia common stock at the close of business on such date are entitled to notice of the SuperMedia special meeting or any adjournment or postponement of the SuperMedia special meeting and to vote for or against the SuperMedia out of court proposal and the SuperMedia bankruptcy proposal. If the SuperMedia special meeting is adjourned, the voting deadline will automatically be moved to the time that is 30 minutes after the SuperMedia special meeting is reconvened.

Q: When is the deadline to submit my proxy and ballot to ensure that my vote regarding the Dex One prepackaged plan or SuperMedia prepackaged plan, as applicable, is counted?

A: The voting deadline to vote to accept or reject each of the prepackaged plans is 1:30 p.m. prevailing Eastern Time, on March 13, 2013. After the voting deadline has passed, all votes will be collected by Epiq, who will count the votes regarding each prepackaged plan.

Q: What constitutes a quorum at the special meetings?

A: A majority of the votes entitled to be cast by the shares entitled to vote must be present or represented by proxy to constitute a quorum for action on the matters to be voted upon at the Dex One special meeting. All shares of Dex One common stock represented at the Dex One special meeting, including abstentions and broker non-votes, will be treated as present for purposes of determining the presence or absence of a quorum for all matters voted on at the Dex One special meeting. For the avoidance of doubt, stockholders may submit their proxy and ballot to vote on the matters to be presented at the Dex One special meeting in advance of the Dex One special meeting.
A majority of the votes entitled to be cast by the shares entitled to vote must be present or represented by proxy to constitute a quorum for action on the matters to be voted upon at the SuperMedia special meeting. All shares of SuperMedia common stock represented at the SuperMedia special meeting, including abstentions and broker non-votes, will be treated as present for purposes of determining the presence or absence of a quorum for all matters voted on at the SuperMedia special meeting. For the avoidance of doubt, stockholders may submit their proxy and ballot to vote on the matters to be presented at the SuperMedia special meeting in advance of the SuperMedia special meeting.

Q: If my shares are held in street name by my broker, will my broker vote my shares for me?

A:
If you hold your shares in a stock brokerage account or if your shares are held by a bank or nominee (that is, in street name), you must provide the record holder of your shares with instructions on how to vote your shares. Please follow the voting instructions provided by your bank or broker. Please note that you may not


vii
Table of Contents

vote shares held in street name by returning a proxy and ballot directly to Dex One or SuperMedia or Epiq or by voting in person at your special meeting unless you provide a “legal proxy,” which you must obtain from your bank or broker. Further, brokers who hold shares of Dex One or SuperMedia common stock on behalf of their customers may not give a proxy to Dex One or SuperMedia to vote those shares on the proposals unless they have received voting instructions from their customers.
If you are a Dex One or SuperMedia stockholder that holds shares in street name and you do not instruct your broker on how to vote your shares, your broker may not vote your shares, which will have the same effect as not voting on the Dex One prepackaged plan or SuperMedia prepackaged plan, as applicable; voting against the proposal to approve and adopt the merger agreement and the transactions it contemplates; and voting against the other proposals.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if your bank or nominee elects to provide you with a “pre-validated” proxy and ballot you should vote by signing and returning the enclosed proxy and ballot to Epiq in the postage-paid envelope provided by the voting deadline.

Q: How do I vote to approve the consummation of the transaction outside of court, or through Chapter 11 cases, if I am a stockholder of record?

A: If you do not hold your stock in street name and instead are a stockholder of record of Dex One as of the record date for the Dex One special meeting or a stockholder of record of SuperMedia as of the record date for the SuperMedia special meeting, you may vote in person by attending your special meeting and submitting your proxy and ballot to Epiq, the voting agent. Alternatively, you may vote by signing and returning the enclosed proxy and ballot to Epiq in the postage-paid envelope provided. In either case, your proxy and ballot must be actually received by Epiq by the voting deadline.
If you hold Dex One shares or SuperMedia shares in the name of a bank or broker, please see the discussion above.

Q: How many votes do I have?

A: With respect to each proposal to be presented at the Dex One special meeting, holders of Dex One common stock are entitled to one vote for each share of Dex One common stock owned at the close of business on the Dex One record date. At the close of business on the Dex One record date, there were 51,309,809 shares of Dex One common stock outstanding and entitled to vote at the Dex One special meeting.
With respect to each proposal to be presented at the SuperMedia special meeting, holders of SuperMedia common stock are entitled to one vote for each share of SuperMedia common stock owned at the close of business on the SuperMedia record date. At the close of business on the SuperMedia record date, there were 15,664,432 shares of SuperMedia common stock outstanding and entitled to vote at the SuperMedia special meeting.

Q: What vote is required to approve each proposal?

A: The votes required, as well as the effects of abstentions/shares present but not voted and broker non-votes for each of the proposals, at the special meetings of both Dex One stockholders and SuperMedia stockholders, are detailed in the following chart:

Q: What vote is required for stockholders to accept the prepackaged plans?

A: The votes required, as well as the effects of abstentions/failures to vote and broker non-votes, for stockholders to accept the prepackaged plans are detailed in the following chart:

Required Stockholder Vote


Effect of Abstentions/
Failures to Vote

Effect of Broker Non-Votes

At least 2/3 in amount of common stock that vote to either “accept” or “reject” the applicable prepackaged plan No effect No effect
Notwithstanding the required stockholder vote, under the “cram down” provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, a plan may be confirmed even if stockholders do not vote to accept the plan if the Bankruptcy Court finds that the plan otherwise satisfies the statutory requirements and does not discriminate unfairly and is fair and equitable regarding each class of claims and interests that is impaired under, and has not accepted, the plan. Accordingly, if Dex One senior secured lenders vote to accept the Dex One prepackaged plan but Dex One stockholders do not vote to accept such plan, Dex One may still seek to confirm the plan under the “cram down” provisions of the Bankruptcy Code. SuperMedia may seek to do the same regarding the SuperMedia prepackaged plan if SuperMedia senior secured lenders vote to accept such plan but SuperMedia stockholders do not vote to accept the plan.

Q: What vote is required for Dex One’s and SuperMedia’s senior secured creditors to accept the prepackaged plans?

A: For each of Dex One’s and SuperMedia’s senior secured credit facilities, the votes required to accept the prepackaged plans are detailed in the following chart:

Credit Facility

Required Vote to Accept the Prepackaged Plans
DME Credit Facility

DMW Credit Facility

RHDI Credit Facility

SuperMedia Credit Facility
Number: For each credit facility, creditors
holding more than 1/2 in number of the
allowed claims under such facility that are
held by creditors that vote on the plan

and

Amount: For each credit facility, creditors
holding at least 2/3 in amount of the allowed
claims under such facility that are held by
creditors that vote on the plan
Lenders holding more than half in number and at least 2/3 in amount of (but not all) claims under each of the Dex One credit facilities and the SuperMedia credit facility have become consenting lenders to the support agreements (as described below). As a result, the number and amount of Dex One credit facilities claims and SuperMedia credit facility claims held by lenders contractually obligated to support the Dex One prepackaged plan and the SuperMedia prepackaged plan, respectively, exceed the thresholds required for approval of such prepackaged plans by each class of Dex One credit facilities claims and SuperMedia credit facility claims respectively, under applicable bankruptcy law.

Q: What are the support agreements?

A: On December 5, 2012, each of Dex One and SuperMedia entered into a Support and Limited Waiver Agreement (the “support agreements”) with certain of their respective senior secured lenders. The support agreements set forth the obligations and commitments of the parties with respect to the transaction. Specifically, the lenders party to the support agreements (“consenting lenders”) have agreed to support the consummation of the mergers and financing amendments whether effectuated outside of court or through Chapter 11 cases. The support agreements provide for termination events if certain milestones are not achieved by certain dates. See “The Support Agreements.” Lenders holding more than half in number and at least 2/3 in amount of (but not all) claims under each of the Dex One credit facilities and the SuperMedia credit facility have become consenting lenders. As a result, the number and amount of Dex One credit facilities claims and SuperMedia credit facility claims held by lenders contractually obligated to support the Dex One prepackaged plan and the SuperMedia prepackaged plan, respectively, exceed the thresholds required for approval of such prepackaged plans by each class of Dex One credit facilities claims and SuperMedia credit facility claims, respectively, under applicable bankruptcy law. Additional consenting lenders may join the support agreements in the future. A copy of the form of the Dex One support agreement is attached as Appendix K to this document, and a copy of the form of the SuperMedia support agreement is attached as Appendix L to this document.

Q: Can the transaction be consummated if the financing amendments are not approved even if stockholders approve the transaction or, in the alternative, approve the prepackaged plans?

A:
No, if Dex One’s or SuperMedia’s senior secured creditors do not approve the financing amendments (including pursuant to the prepackaged plans), the transaction will not be consummated. Approval of the financing amendments out of court requires unanimous senior secured lender consent. Approval of the financing amendments through the prepackaged plans requires the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the senior secured creditors, including holders of 2/3 of the aggregate principal amount, respectively, of

Table of Contents

each of Dex One’s and SuperMedia’s debt that vote to “accept” or “reject” the prepackaged plans. Dex One and SuperMedia are soliciting the votes of their respective senior secured creditors on the financing amendments out of court as well as the prepackaged plans concurrently with this solicitation of stockholders.

Q: How does the Dex One board of directors recommend that the Dex One stockholders vote?

A: The Dex One board of directors has determined that the merger agreement and the transactions it contemplates are advisable and in the best interests of Dex One and its stockholders. Accordingly, the Dex One board of directors unanimously recommends that the Dex One stockholders vote “FOR” the proposal to approve and adopt the merger agreement and the transactions it contemplates, vote “FOR” the proposal to approve, on a non-binding, advisory basis, the compensation that may be paid to Dex One’s named executive officers that is based on or otherwise relates to the transaction, vote “FOR” the proposal to approve the adjournment of the Dex One special meeting, if necessary or appropriate, to permit further solicitation of proxies and vote to “ACCEPT” the Dex One prepackaged plan.

Q: How does the SuperMedia board of directors recommend that the SuperMedia stockholders vote?

A: The SuperMedia board of directors has determined that the merger agreement and the transactions it contemplates are advisable and in the best interests of SuperMedia and its stockholders. Accordingly, the SuperMedia board of directors unanimously recommends that the SuperMedia stockholders vote “FOR” the proposal to approve and adopt the merger agreement and the transactions it contemplates, vote “FOR” the proposal to approve, on a non-binding, advisory basis, the compensation that may be paid to SuperMedia’s named executive officers that is based on or otherwise relates to the transaction, vote “FOR” the proposal to approve the adjournment of the SuperMedia special meeting, if necessary or appropriate, to permit further solicitation of proxies and vote to “ACCEPT” the SuperMedia prepackaged plan.

Q: What will happen if I fail to vote or I abstain from voting?

A: If you are a Dex One or SuperMedia stockholder of record and fail to vote or abstain from voting on the proposal to approve and adopt the merger agreement and the transactions it contemplates, it will have the same effect as a vote against the proposal.
If you are a Dex One or SuperMedia stockholder of record and fail to vote or abstain from voting on either the Dex One golden parachute proposal or the SuperMedia golden parachute proposal, as applicable, your abstention from voting or failure of your broker, bank or other holder of record to vote will have no effect on the proposal.
In the event that at either the Dex One or SuperMedia special meeting there is an adjournment proposal properly brought before the meeting, if you are a stockholder of record and fail to vote or abstain from the effect of your abstention from voting or failure of your broker, bank or other holder of record to vote will depend on whether a quorum exists. If a quorum exists, the meeting may be adjourned by the affirmative vote of holders of at least a majority of the shares of Dex One common stock or SuperMedia common stock, as applicable, present in person or by proxy at the special meeting and voting on the proposal. Under such circumstances, a stockholder’s abstention from voting or the failure of a stockholder’s broker, bank or other holder of record to vote will have no effect on the proposal. If a quorum does not exist, an adjournment will require the affirmative vote of holders of at least a majority of the shares of Dex One or SuperMedia, as applicable, present in person or by proxy at the special meeting and entitled to vote on the proposal. Under such circumstances, a stockholders’ abstention from voting will have the same effect as a vote against the proposal, and the failure of a stockholder’s broker, bank or other holder of record to vote will have no effect on the proposal.
If you are a Dex One or SuperMedia stockholder of record and fail to vote or abstain from voting on the prepackaged plans, it will have the same effect as voting neither to accept nor to reject the prepackaged plans.

Q: What will happen if I return my proxy and ballot without indicating how to vote?

A: Except with respect to the prepackaged plans, if you return your signed proxy and ballot without indicating how to vote on any particular proposal, the shares of Dex One or SuperMedia common stock represented by your proxy will be voted in accordance with management’s recommendation on that proposal.
If you return your proxy and ballot without indicating how you would like to vote on the Dex One prepackaged plan or the SuperMedia prepackaged plan, as applicable, the shares of Dex One or SuperMedia common stock represented by your ballot will not be voted either to accept or to reject the Dex One prepackaged plan or the SuperMedia prepackaged plan, as applicable.

Q: Can I change my vote after I have returned a proxy and ballot?

A: Yes. For the proposals that can be voted on by proxy, you can change your vote at any time before your proxy is voted at your respective special meeting. If you are a stockholder of record, you can do this in one of two ways:

•
you can send a signed notice of revocation or a new valid proxy; or


•
you can attend your special meeting and submit your proxy and ballot in person, which will automatically cancel any proxy previously given, but simply attending the special meeting without voting will not revoke any proxy that you have previously given or change your vote.

If you choose the first method, your notice of revocation or your new signed proxy must be received by the Corporate Secretary of Dex One or SuperMedia, as applicable, no later than the beginning of the applicable special meeting. If your shares are held in street name by your bank or broker, you should contact your broker to change your vote.
For the proposals regarding the prepackaged plans, you may, prior to the voting deadline, revoke or change a vote contained within your proxy and ballot. If you want to withdraw your vote and you do not want to submit another vote in its place, you must deliver a written notice of revocation or withdrawal to the voting agent prior to the voting deadline. To change your vote, you may submit a new proxy and ballot prior to the voting deadline and your previously submitted proxy and ballot will be revoked and superseded.

Q: When do you expect the transaction to be completed?

A: Dex One and SuperMedia hope to complete the transaction as soon as reasonably possible. The transaction is, however, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of conditions, and it is possible that factors outside the control of Dex One and SuperMedia could result in the transaction being completed at a later time or not at all. Consummating the transaction out of court is expected to require less time than consummating the transaction through Chapter 11 cases.

Q: Do I have dissenter’s rights or appraisal rights?

A: No. Under Delaware law, neither holders of Dex One common stock nor holders of SuperMedia common stock are entitled to appraisal rights in connection with the transaction, whether completed out of court or through Chapter 11 cases.

Q: What are the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the transaction?

A: If the transaction is consummated, either out of court or through Chapter 11 cases, the Dex One merger will qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). Therefore, a holder or other beneficial owner of Dex One common stock will not recognize any gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes upon the exchange of such person’s shares of Dex One common stock for shares of Dex Media common stock pursuant to the Dex One merger. Additionally, such a person will not recognize any gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes on account of the implied reverse stock split of shares of Dex One common stock when they are exchanged for shares of Dex Media common stock pursuant to the Dex One merger.

xii
Table of Contents

If the transaction is consummated, either out of court or through Chapter 11 cases, the parties intend that the SuperMedia merger also be treated as a reorganization, and provided that it so qualifies, a holder or other beneficial owner of SuperMedia common stock will not recognize any gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes upon the exchange of such person’s shares of SuperMedia common stock for shares of Dex Media common stock pursuant to the SuperMedia merger. However, as discussed in more detail below in this document, it is possible that the SuperMedia merger would not be treated as a reorganization, as a result of which a holder or other beneficial owner of SuperMedia common stock would recognize gain or loss in the amount of the difference between the fair market value of the shares of Dex Media common stock received pursuant to the SuperMedia merger and such person’s adjusted tax basis in the shares of SuperMedia common stock exchanged therefor.
No opinion from legal counsel has been given regarding whether the Dex One or SuperMedia merger will qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code, and neither Dex One nor SuperMedia have requested, nor do they intend to request, a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the transaction. You should read “Material United States Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Transaction” for a more complete discussion of the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the transaction. Tax matters can be complicated and the tax consequences of the transaction to you will depend on your particular tax situation. We urge you to consult your tax advisor to determine the tax consequences of the transaction to you.

Q: If I hold any physical stock certificates, should I send them in now?

A: Dex One Stockholders : No. Dex One shares are held in book-entry form. If the transaction is consummated out of court, after the transaction is completed, Dex Media’s exchange agent will send former Dex One stockholders a letter of transmittal explaining what they must do to exchange their shares of Dex One common stock into book-entry form for the transaction consideration payable to them. If the transaction is consummated through Chapter 11 cases, the Dex Media common stock will be distributed as set forth in the Dex One prepackaged plan. The shares of Dex Media common stock that Dex One stockholders receive in the transaction will be issued in book-entry form.
SuperMedia Stockholders : No. SuperMedia stockholders should keep any SuperMedia stock certificates they hold both now and after the transaction is completed. If the transaction is consummated out of court, after the transaction is completed, Dex Media’s exchange agent will send former SuperMedia stockholders a letter of transmittal explaining what they must do to exchange their shares of SuperMedia common stock into book-entry form in order to receive the transaction consideration payable to them. If the transaction is consummated through Chapter 11 cases, the Dex Media common stock will be distributed as set forth in the SuperMedia prepackaged plan. The shares of Dex Media common stock that SuperMedia stockholders receive in the transaction will be issued in book-entry form.

Q: What happens if I sell my shares of Dex One or SuperMedia common stock before the voting deadline?

A: The voting record date, which is also the record date for the Dex One special meeting and the SuperMedia special meeting, is earlier than the voting deadline, which is also the date of the Dex One special meeting and the SuperMedia special meeting, respectively. If you transfer your shares of Dex One common stock after the Dex One record date but before the Dex One special meeting, you will retain your right to vote on the proposals, unless you have transferred your shares with a proxy, but will have transferred the right to receive the merger consideration in the transaction. Similarly, if you transfer your shares of SuperMedia common stock after the SuperMedia record date but before the SuperMedia special meeting, you will retain your right to vote on the proposals, unless you have transferred your shares with a proxy, but will have transferred the right to receive the merger consideration in the transaction. In order to receive the merger consideration, you must hold your shares through the effective date of the transaction.

xiii
Table of Contents

Q: What if I hold shares of common stock in both Dex One and SuperMedia?

A: If you are both a Dex One stockholder and a SuperMedia stockholder, you will receive two separate packages of proxy materials. A vote cast as a Dex One stockholder will not count as a vote cast as a SuperMedia stockholder, and a vote cast as a SuperMedia stockholder will not count as a vote cast as a Dex One stockholder. Therefore, please submit a proxy and ballot for your shares of each of Dex One and SuperMedia common stock.
The Prepackaged Plans

Q: Why are Dex One and SuperMedia soliciting votes on the prepackaged plans if the transaction can be consummated out of court?

A:
Dex One and SuperMedia have prepared the prepackaged plans as an alternative method of consummating the transaction if the closing conditions contained in the merger agreement are not met or waived or Dex One and SuperMedia do not obtain majority stockholder approval of the transaction from their respective stockholders on an out of court basis. Dex One and SuperMedia may consummate the transaction through Chapter 11 cases if they receive the affirmative vote of a majority of their respective senior secured creditors, including the holders of 2/3 of the aggregate principal amount (counting only those that vote) of each of their respective senior secured credit facilities, that vote on the prepackaged plans and the Bankruptcy Court confirms the prepackaged plans. The Bankruptcy Code also permits the Bankruptcy Court to approve, and for Dex One and SuperMedia to consummate, the respective prepackaged plans even if 2/3 of each of Dex One’s and SuperMedia’s respective shareholders that cast votes do not vote to accept the respective prepackaged plan. If these “cram-down” provisions of the Bankruptcy Code are invoked, the approval of the stockholders to the prepackaged plan will not be required if the Bankruptcy Court confirms such plan. See “Risk Factors— Risks Related to the Prepackaged Plans and Other Bankruptcy Law Considerations”.


Q: How would the prepackaged plans be implemented?

A: The prepackaged plans consist of plans of reorganization under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code that, if confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court, would effect the transaction, including the financing amendments, as further described in “The Prepackaged Plans.”

Q: What vote is needed for the Bankruptcy Court to confirm the prepackaged plans?

A: For the prepackaged plans to be confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court without invoking the “cram-down” provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, each class of creditor claims against Dex One and SuperMedia (“Claims”) and each claim of stockholder interests in Dex One and SuperMedia (“Interests”) that is impaired must vote to accept the prepackaged plans. An impaired class of Claims is presumed to accept a plan of reorganization if the holders of at least 2/3 in amount and a majority in number of the Claims in such class who actually cast votes accept the plan. An impaired class of Interests is presumed to accept a plan of reorganization if the holders of at least 2/3 in amount of such class who actually cast votes accept the plan. If the prepackaged plans are confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court and become effective, the prepackaged plans will bind all holders of Claims against and Interests in Dex One or SuperMedia, as applicable, regardless of whether they voted to accept or reject the prepackaged plans and regardless of whether they voted at all on the prepackaged plans. As more fully discussed in the prepackaged plans, only secured creditors and stockholders are impaired classes. Neither the holders of the Dex One’s 12%/14% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2017 (the “Dex One senior subordinated notes”) nor any other classes are impaired under the prepackaged plans.
The confirmation and effectiveness of the prepackaged plans are subject to conditions that may not be satisfied. There can be no assurance that all requirements for confirmation and effectiveness of the

xiv
Table of Contents

prepackaged plans will be satisfied or that the Bankruptcy Court will conclude that the requirements for confirmation and effectiveness of the prepackaged plans have been satisfied. See “The Prepackaged Plans—The Dex One Prepackaged Plan—Confirmation of the Dex One Prepackaged Plan” and “The Prepackaged Plans—The SuperMedia Prepackaged Plan—Confirmation of the SuperMedia Prepackaged Plan.”
If either Dex One or SuperMedia does not receive the requisite acceptances from their respective senior secured creditors to allow the prepackaged plans to be confirmed under the Bankruptcy Code, the prepackaged plans will not be confirmed or become effective.
If the “cram-down” provisions of the Bankruptcy Code are invoked, the acceptance of the stockholders of the prepackaged plan will not be required if the Bankruptcy Court confirms such plan. See “Risk Factors— Risks Related to the Prepackaged Plans and Other Bankruptcy Law Considerations”.
Neither Dex One nor SuperMedia has at this time taken any action approving a bankruptcy filing, and, if the transaction is consummated outside of court, neither Dex One nor SuperMedia will commence a bankruptcy proceeding to consummate the respective prepackaged plan.

Q: When is the deadline for submitting your proxy and ballot to vote on the applicable prepackaged plan?

A: All proxy and ballots must be received by Epiq by March 13, 2013 by 1:30 p.m., prevailing Eastern Time, unless extended by Dex One and SuperMedia. If this voting deadline is extended, Dex One and SuperMedia will notify the tabulation agent and send a notice to stockholders and the senior secured creditors or issue a press release or other public announcement no later than 9:00 a.m., prevailing Eastern Time, on the next business day after the scheduled voting deadline. If either special meeting is adjourned, then the voting deadline for the company that adjourns its meeting will be automatically moved to the time that is 30 minutes after the special meeting is reconvened.

Q: Who can help answer my questions?

A: Dex One or SuperMedia stockholders who have questions about the transaction or the other proposals or who desire additional copies of this document or additional proxy and ballots should contact:

have you done any research on the total institutional holdings for SPMD and DEXO now that kyle bass has bought in? i feel like the shares short are mostly offset by long institutions at this point.

Dexo for example:
http://www.nasdaq.com/symbol/dexo/institutional-holdings#.UQhkAL-eGSk
81% long by the listed institutions plus the 10% from kyle bass gets to 91% long.

then you have 20% short:
http://finance.yahoo.com/q/ks?s=DEXO+Key+Statistics

so basically if you assume the institutions aren't going to scare out at this point you have a situation... where if the shorts start to try and cover they cannot at this price, as they must find a price where 9% of the institutional holders are willing to part ways with the stock...

another thing is that the investment thesis here has to be crisis price driven, and i'd be surprised to see this trade less than p/fcf < 1 for another few years.. i guess the question is how are the institutional investors figuring the worth here? are they doing it on a crisis equity valuation or on a non-crisis valuation?

Dex One Corporation (“Dex One”) and SuperMedia Inc. (“SuperMedia”) have entered into a merger agreement providing for the combination of Dex One and SuperMedia through a series of mergers with and into a new company to be called Dex Media, Inc. (“Dex Media”).


http://ir.dexone.com/secfiling.cfm?FilingID=1193125-13-11994



If the transaction is completed, whether out of court or through Chapter 11 cases, (a) Dex One stockholders will receive 0.2 shares of Dex Media’s common stock for each share of Dex One common stock that they own, which reflects a 1-for-5 reverse stock split of Dex One common stock, and (b) SuperMedia stockholders will receive 0.4386 shares of Dex Media’s common stock for each share of SuperMedia common stock that they own. We anticipate that Dex One stockholders will hold approximately 60% and SuperMedia stockholders will hold approximately 40% of Dex Media’s common stock issued and outstanding immediately after the completion of the transaction. Dex Media intends to apply to list its common stock on either the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) or the NASDAQ Stock Exchange Global Select Market (“NASDAQ”) under the symbol “DXM,” subject to official notice of issuance.
Dex One’s and SuperMedia’s boards of directors believe that combining the two companies will produce a company that is better positioned to enhance stockholder value than either Dex One or SuperMedia is individually. Dex One’s and SuperMedia’s boards of directors believe that the combined company will establish itself as a national provider of social, local and mobile marketing solutions with increased revenue opportunities. The combined company will also be positioned to achieve economies of scale with reduced costs and enhanced cash flow and liquidity.
Completion of the transaction out of court requires, among other things, the separate approvals of both Dex One stockholders and SuperMedia stockholders, and the consent and execution of the required financing amendments (the “financing amendments”) by the Dex One and SuperMedia senior secured creditors holding 100% of each of Dex One’s and SuperMedia’s senior secured debt, respectively (“unanimous lender approval”). To obtain the required stockholder approvals, Dex One will solicit votes on the transaction from its stockholders in advance of, and will hold a special meeting of Dex One stockholders on, [ ], 2013. At the same time, SuperMedia will solicit votes on the transaction from its stockholders in advance of, and will hold a special meeting of SuperMedia stockholders on, [ ], 2013. Dex One and SuperMedia plan to solicit the requisite approvals from their respective senior secured creditors concurrently with this solicitation of their respective stockholders.
Additionally, if Dex One is unable to obtain unanimous lender approval or majority stockholder approval outside of court, Dex One may file a Chapter 11 case to consummate the transaction, and if SuperMedia is unable to obtain unanimous lender approval or majority stockholder approval outside of court, SuperMedia may file a Chapter 11 case to consummate the transaction. Concurrently with the above described solicitations, Dex One and SuperMedia will each solicit acceptances from their respective senior secured creditors and stockholders for their respective plans of reorganization that would effect the transaction, including the financing amendments (the “Dex One prepackaged plan” in the case of Dex One and the “SuperMedia prepackaged plan”
Table of Contents

in the case of SuperMedia, and, together, the “prepackaged plans”) in cases under Chapter 11 of title 11 of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”). Neither Dex One nor SuperMedia has at this time taken any action approving a bankruptcy filing, and, if the transaction is consummated outside of court, neither Dex One nor SuperMedia will commence Chapter 11 cases to consummate the prepackaged plans.
Dex One’s and SuperMedia’s boards of directors unanimously recommend that you vote “FOR” the proposals to approve and adopt the merger agreement and the transactions it contemplates and vote to “ACCEPT” the prepackaged plans to enable Dex One and SuperMedia to consummate the transaction through Chapter 11 cases, if necessary.
Your vote is very important. For purposes of voting on the merger agreement and the transactions it contemplates and the applicable prepackaged plan, you will receive a combined proxy and ballot (the “proxy and ballot”) to separately vote on each proposal. Whether or not you plan to attend the special meeting of Dex One stockholders or SuperMedia stockholders, as applicable, please submit your proxy and ballot to vote your shares to (a) approve the merger agreement and the transactions it contemplates as soon as possible to make sure your shares are represented at the applicable special meeting and (b) to accept the Dex One prepackaged plan or the SuperMedia prepackaged plan, as applicable. Your proxy and ballot must be received as set forth herein no later than 1:30 p.m. Eastern Time on [ ], 2013 to be counted.
Voting your shares to approve the merger agreement and the transactions it contemplates does not, by itself, constitute voting your shares to accept the Dex One prepackaged plan or the SuperMedia prepackaged plan, as applicable, and voting your shares to accept the Dex One prepackaged plan or the SuperMedia prepackaged plan, as applicable, does not, by itself, constitute voting your shares to approve the merger agreement and the transactions it contemplates. For your convenience, the proxy and ballot have been combined into a single document.
Information about the special meetings of stockholders, the solicitation of stockholder approvals, the merger agreement and the transactions it contemplates, the prepackaged plans and the other business to be considered by Dex One stockholders and SuperMedia stockholders prior to voting is contained in this document. Your failure to vote on the proposal to adopt the merger agreement and the transactions it contemplates will have the same effect as voting against that proposal. Your failure to vote to accept the Dex One prepackaged plan or the SuperMedia prepackaged plan, as applicable, will have the effect of voting neither for nor against that proposal.
The obligations of Dex One and SuperMedia to complete the transaction are subject to the satisfaction or waiver of conditions set forth in the merger agreement and, if applicable, the prepackaged plans. More information about Dex One, SuperMedia, Dex Media, the transaction and the prepackaged plans is contained in this document. Dex One, SuperMedia and Dex Media encourage you to read this entire document carefully, including the section entitled “ Risk Factors ” beginning on page 41.
We look forward to the successful combination of Dex One and SuperMedia.

Sincerely, Sincerely,
Alfred T. Mockett Peter J. McDonald
Chief Executive Officer and President President and Chief Executive Officer
Dex One Corporation SuperMedia Inc.

an example of a bankruptcy that is a pre-pack without dilution for all of you people that say that these things don't happen frequently.

Intraday Stock Chart
Today : Thursday 6 December 2012


Dex One Corporation (NYSE: DEXO) and SuperMedia Inc. (NASDAQ: SPMD) today announced they have reached an agreement with a steering committee representing senior lenders of both companies on a revised set of amendments to the companies' credit agreements as part of their proposed merger. As a result, the companies have also entered into an Amended and Restated Merger Agreement.

The credit agreement amendments will:

Uphold the basic economic terms and strategic merits of the merger as initially announced;
Preserve the interests of all investors without any dilution; and
Extend the maturity dates of the companies’ senior secured debt up to 26 months until Dec. 31, 2016.
Following the initial announcement of the proposed merger in August 2012, the lender steering committee was formed to evaluate the proposed amendments to the companies’ respective credit agreements. The existing senior credit agreements for both companies require 100 percent approval from the senior lenders for the amendments, and the companies are working with the steering committee to obtain the requisite approval from the remaining senior lenders.

The steering committee has unanimously agreed to support the revised credit agreement amendments.

As previously disclosed, in the event the companies obtain sufficient, but not unanimous, support from the remaining lenders, either or both companies may seek to finalize credit agreement amendments and complete the merger by means of a pre-packaged bankruptcy.

Dex One and SuperMedia will also seek approval from their respective shareholders for the proposed merger and the pre-packaged bankruptcy plan, if the pre-packaged plan becomes necessary to secure the credit agreement amendments.

The merger is expected to be completed in the first half of 2013.

Both companies will be filing the Amended and Restated Merger Agreement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under Current Reports on Forms 8-K, along with support agreements with the steering committee members and a lender presentation outlining key points of the transactions.

Copies of the Current Reports on Form 8-K will be available in the investor relations sections of www.dexone.com and www.supermedia.com.

The next 24 hours should have some interesting things happen.

1. DEXO and SPMD should be announcing their intentions in regards to the merger. I believe an update is due per SPMD's last 10-Q for a possible extension as of November 30, 2012.

2. Yellow Media has a variety of possibilities.
a. CBCA confirmed and is pushed through in around 3 Days (the verbal timeline that IR advised me for merger paperwork completion).
b. YLO-A and/or YLO-B shares converted to common. Possible dividends on the C's and D's? I don't know. The last day to begin conversion on the A's is December 1, 2012, which really puts the last business day at tomorrow.
c. Nothing (At this point, I wouldn't be surprised).

And so I sit, the market has closed the day before the day that I have been anticipating since December of last year, over 300 days ago. 300 days of buying phone book companies that everyone I know of is sick of me making proclamations about. Thousands of hours of research completed. My bets are placed. After 300 directionless days, I wait patiently to discover my fate. Long YLO, SPMD, DEXO.

SuperMedia Announces Third Quarter 2012 Results

Supermedia Inc. (MM) (NASDAQ:SPMD)
Intraday Stock Chart
Today : Tuesday 30 October 2012


SuperMedia (NASDAQ:SPMD) today announced its financial results for the third quarter and year to date 2012.

“The headline for the third quarter was the announcement of our merger agreement with Dex One,” said Peter McDonald, president and CEO of SuperMedia. “The merged company will have local presence and national scale to be a leader in providing local, social and mobile marketing solutions to businesses and delivering results.

“The transaction also will create financial benefits for shareholders and lenders. Our employees have performed very well in continuing to improve the company’s operating margin during the quarter, while doing an excellent job of planning for the post-close integration of the companies,” he added.

Merger Update

SuperMedia and Dex One Corporation (“Dex”) announced the execution of a definitive agreement to combine in a stock-for-stock merger of equals on August 21, 2012.1 Following the announcement of the proposed merger, a joint steering committee of the senior secured lenders for both companies was formed to evaluate the proposed amendments to the parties’ respective credit agreements as set forth in the merger agreement. The consent of the lenders to the proposed amendments is a condition to closing the merger. Thus far, the senior secured lenders, acting through the steering committee, have rejected the proposed amendments to the parties’ respective credit agreements. SuperMedia and Dex continue to negotiate with the steering committee to reach agreement on amendments to the parties’ respective credit agreements. The parties are also considering alternatives to the current transaction structure, including a “prepackaged” restructuring of the parties’ senior secured indebtedness through proceedings instituted under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code to implement acceptable credit agreement amendments that may garner sufficient, though not unanimous, support from the parties’ respective lenders, while otherwise maintaining the basic economic terms of the Merger Agreement. However, there can be no assurance that SuperMedia and Dex can effect a transaction through an alternative structure, that the necessary consents will be obtained, or that the Merger will be consummated.

1 “Dex One and SuperMedia Will Combine to Create a National Provider of Social, Local and Mobile Marketing Solutions” Press Release

Third Quarter Financial Results

Operating revenue was $330 million, a decline of $69 million or 17.3 percent compared with the same quarter last year.

Operating income margin was 37.9 percent, compared with a negative 224.8 percent for Q3 2011.

Net income was $52 million, compared with a net loss of $968 million in Q3 2011, which included the after-tax impact of a goodwill impairment of $997 million.

Adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization), a non-GAAP measure, which excludes proposed merger transaction costs and the amortization of the deferred gains/losses related to other post-employment benefit plans was $137 million, a decline of 12.7 percent compared with Q3 2011 adjusted EBITDA of $157 million, which excludes severance costs, a non-recurring vendor settlement and a non-cash impairment charge associated with a write down of goodwill.

Adjusted EBITDA margin, a non-GAAP measure, was 41.5 percent, a 220 basis point improvement from 39.3 percent in the same quarter last year.

Advertising sales2 declined 19.1 percent, compared with a decline of 15.6 percent reported for the same quarter last year.

2 Net advertising sales is an operating measure used by the Company to compare advertising sales for current advertising periods to corresponding sales for previous periods. It is important to distinguish net advertising sales from operating revenue, which on our financial statements is recognized under the deferral and amortization method.

Operating revenue was $1,042 million, a decline of $216 million or 17.2 percent compared with the same period last year.

Free cash flow for 2012, a non-GAAP measure, was $225 million, representing cash provided by operating activities of $234 million, less capital expenditures (including capitalized software) of $9 million.

The Company’s cash balance on September 30, 2012, was $94 million.

Advertising sales3 declined 18.8 percent, compared with a decline of 16.7 percent reported for the same period last year.

3 Advertising sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 include negative adjustments of $11 million, related to the financial distress and operational wind down of a single certified marketing representative in our third-party national sales channel. Excluding this impact, advertising sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 would have reflected a decline of 19.6 percent. As of June 2011, these accounts were transitioned to other certified marketing representative firms.

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 results. SuperMedia believes that the use of non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors to gain an overall understanding of its current financial performance. Specifically, SuperMedia believes the non-GAAP results provide useful information to both management and investors by excluding certain expenses, gains and losses that SuperMedia believes are not indicative of its core operating results. In addition, non-GAAP financial measures are used by management for budgeting and forecasting as well as subsequently measuring SuperMedia's performance and SuperMedia believes that it is providing investors with financial measures that most closely align to its internal measurement processes.

limitations on our operating and strategic flexibility and the ability to operate our business, finance our capital needs or expand business strategies under the terms of our credit agreement;

our ability to maintain good relations with our unionized employees;
changes in labor, business, political and economic conditions;
changes in governmental regulations and policies and actions of federal, state and local municipalities;
the outcome of pending or future litigation and other claims;
the potential adverse impacts of failure to complete, or delay in completing the proposed merger with Dex as a result of obtaining consents from the stockholders and secured creditors of Dex or the Company;
the possibility that our merger agreement with Dex could be unilaterally terminated by either party;
the business uncertainties and contractual restrictions arising from the timing and closing of the proposed merger with Dex, including the possible inability to consummate the proposed transaction on the terms set forth in the merger agreement;
the significant costs associated with the potential transaction with Dex;
the risk that we may not timely or successfully realize the anticipated cost savings, growth opportunities and other financial and operating benefits as a result of the transaction; and
difficulties in connection with the process of integrating Dex and the Company, including the risk that benefits from the transaction may be significantly offset by costs incurred in integrating the companies.

This morning, Dex One announced third quarter earnings and provided the following update on the proposed merger:



Following the announcement of the proposed merger between Dex One and SuperMedia, a joint steering committee of the senior secured lenders for both companies was formed to evaluate the proposed amendments to the parties’ respective credit agreements as set forth in the Merger Agreement. The consent of the lenders to the proposed amendments is a condition to closing the merger.



Dex One and SuperMedia continue to negotiate with the steering committee in an attempt to reach agreement on amendments to the parties’ respective credit agreements. The parties are also considering alternatives to the current transaction structure to obtain the necessary lender consents.



Additional information about the proposed merger is included in a Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission today by Dex One.



The Form 8-K provides:



“…The Merger Agreement may be terminated by either party if the conditions to closing are not satisfied and the closing has not occurred before November 30, 2012, which date may, under certain circumstances, be extended until December 31, 2012...



…Thus far, the senior secured lenders, acting through the steering committee, have rejected the proposed amendments to the parties’ respective credit agreements. Dex One and SuperMedia continue to negotiate with the steering committee in an attempt to reach agreement on amendments to the parties’ respective credit agreements that will secure the consents necessary to effect the Merger. In light of the current negotiations, however, Dex One recognizes that the parties may not be able to obtain sufficient approval from the senior secured lenders to any proposed amendments to the parties’ respective credit agreements. Therefore, possible alternatives to the current transaction structure to effect the Merger are under consideration, including a “prepackaged” restructuring of the parties’ senior secured indebtedness through proceedings instituted under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code to implement possible amendments that may garner sufficient, though not unanimous, support from the parties’ respective lenders, while otherwise maintaining the basic economic terms of the Merger Agreement…”



It continues to be our goal to implement the terms of the merger agreement as previously announced. The merger agreement requires that we obtain approval of 100 percent of both companies’ lenders to the proposed credit agreement amendments. A “prepackaged” or “pre-pack” Chapter 11 bankruptcy is one alternative under consideration to effect the merger and not impair any other creditors (including employees) in the event we cannot obtain 100 percent support for the proposed credit agreement amendments. Under this alternative, each company would seek support for the proposed amendments, merger and reorganization (the “plan”) from all lenders, who would then have the opportunity to vote on the plan in advance of either company filing a Chapter 11 case. To qualify as a pre-pack, at least a majority of lenders holding 2/3 of the debt in each credit agreement who cast





votes would need to vote in favor of the plan. Immediately upon filing a pre-pack case, the company would seek court approval of the plan over the objections, if any, of lenders not supporting the plan or other interested parties. The pre-pack process would enable the companies to seek approval of the plan on an expedited basis relative to a “traditional” Chapter 11. At this time, the company has made no decisions with respect to potential alternative strategies, including a pre-pack strategy. It would be our intention, if a pre-pack were pursued, to treat all stockholders as contemplated by the merger agreement and otherwise to leave all company constituencies (including employees, retirees, vendors, customers and other creditors) unaffected.



Dex One and SuperMedia are working together to reach an agreement that works for lenders while at the same time provides the company with the flexibility to efficiently operate and profitably grow the business post-close. We believe this to be in the best interest of all stakeholders.

doubtful.

it's just a matter of getting the creditors to approve the merger.

Third quarter 2012 adjusted EBITDA of $137 million was down slightly from the prior year period while adjusted free cash flow of $95 million was up relative to the previous year.

that's pretty good if you ask me.

and, yes, both are being sold off, and this is to be expected if one is sold off because they intend to merge.

like i said, i'm expecting a prepackaged chapter 11.

bradford86 bradford86 12 years ago
maybe, do you know what prepackaged chapter 11 means to me long term? no difference more or less.

odds are that there are a few members of a few of the silo's that are putting up resistance because they want to take over as opposed to continue to make a huge return on their debt.

if we head lower, that's fine, i'll buy more. i'm in this for the merger and debt restructuring.

i'm not sure we stay below $1 for long... but who knows. it is a function of the company's ability to get it done.
