ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS
On April 27, 2000, R.H. Donnelley announced that Donnelley and Bell Atlantic
had entered into a non-binding letter of intent to mutually terminate its two
New York State sales agency agreements with Bell Atlantic Directory Group, the
longest of which was previously scheduled to expire at the end of 2005. In
connection with the termination of these agreements, Bell Atlantic would assume
a substantial number of employees and the leased real estate facilities and
related assets previously utilized by Donnelley in connection with its
performance under these agreements. The closing is expected to take place by
the end of May 2000 and will be subject to customary closing conditions.
R.H. Donnelley also announced that it had extended its business relationship
with Sprint Corporation's directory publishing group through 2010. The new
arrangement modifies the existing partnership agreement between Donnelley and
Centel Directory Company (a subsidiary of Sprint) and replaces the existing
sales agency agreement, each of which were scheduled to expire at the end of
2004. The new arrangement becomes effective with respect to directories
published from and after July 1, 2000 and covers all of the Sprint markets
currently served by Donnelley with the exception of Orlando, Florida, which
remains covered by a separate agreement.
Lastly, R.H. Donnelley announced that it had entered into a definitive agreement
to sell all of its assets and operations associated with its only remaining
proprietary directory operation, the Cincinnati One Book Yellow Pages(TM), to
Yellow Book USA, Inc. for $8 million. The agreement was executed on April 25,
2000 and the closing of the sale is expected to take place later today.
