Other Events
On December 20, 2012, Dex One Corporation ("Dex One") received signature pages to the Support and Limited Waiver Agreement (the "Dex One Support Agreement"), dated as of December 5, 2012, by and among Dex One, certain of its subsidiaries, JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A, Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas and certain of the lenders under its senior secured credit facilities (the "Dex One Credit Facilities") from sufficient lenders such that more than half in number (but not all) of the holders, and more than two-thirds in amount, of the debt issued under each of the Dex One Credit Facilities have become parties to the Dex One Support Agreement. Dex One was also notified that more than half in number (but not all) of the holders, and more than two-thirds in amount, of the debt issued under SuperMedia Inc's ("SuperMedia") senior secured credit facility (the "SuperMedia Credit Facility") have become parties to the Support and Limited Waiver Agreement (the "SuperMedia Support Agreement"), dated as of December 5, 2012, by and among SuperMedia, certain of its subsidiaries, JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A and certain of the lenders under the SuperMedia Credit Facility. As a result, the number of lenders (and amount of debt) contractually obligated to vote in favor of certain voluntary pre-packaged plans under Chapter 11 of the U.S. bankruptcy code (the "Plans") that would effect the contemplated merger between Dex One and SuperMedia (the "Merger") (if Dex One and/or SuperMedia decide to effect the Merger through such process, which action has not as yet been approved by the board of directors of either company) exceeds the thresholds required for approval of such pre-packaged plans by such creditors under applicable bankruptcy law.
The following table sets forth the approximate percentage by both number of lenders and amount of debt that is, as of December 20, 2012, subject to the terms of the Dex One Support Agreement or the SuperMedia Support Agreement, as applicable.

Each of Dex One and SuperMedia intends to (a) continue seeking joinders from
lenders under the Dex One Credit Facilities and the SuperMedia Credit Facility
to the Dex One Support Agreement and the SuperMedia Support Agreement (so the
foregoing percentages may increase), (b) continue seeking consents from lenders
under the Dex One Credit Facilities and the SuperMedia Credit Facility to
certain amendments to the Dex One Credit Facilities and the SuperMedia Credit
Facility (and to execute such amendments) in an out of court process,
(c) solicit approval of the Plans from lenders under the Dex One Credit
Facilities and the SuperMedia Credit Facility, and (d) solicit approval of the
Plans and the Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger governing the
Merger from the stockholders of each company. Dex One expects these
solicitations to commence in the first quarter.
