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 WHEN THEY BECOME AVAILABLE BECAUSE THEY WILL 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 (when
available) and other relevant documents filed by SuperMedia and Dex with the SEC from the SECs website at www.sec.gov. Copies of the documents filed by SuperMedia with the SEC will be available free of charge on SuperMedias website at
www.supermedia.com under the tab Investors or by contacting SuperMedias Investor Relations Department at (877) 343-3272. Copies of the documents filed by Dex with the SEC will be available free of charge on Dexs website
at www.dexone.com under the tab Investors or by contacting Dexs 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 SuperMedias proxy statement relating to its 2012 Annual Meeting of Shareholders and Dexs
proxy statement relating to its 2012 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, as filed with the SEC on April 11, 2012 and March 22, 2012, respectively, 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 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 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.
