Company News

DALLAS – Idearc Inc. today announced that it has changed its name to SuperMedia Inc. (the “Company” or “SuperMedia”). The new name symbolizes SuperMedia’s renewed focus on providing outstanding products including the SuperYellowPages®, Superpages.com® and SuperpagesDirect™ direct mail products as well as services, such as the SuperGuarantee ^SM and SuperTradeExchange® Programs, to its clients and consumers nationwide.

SuperMedia’s shares trade on the NASDAQ Global Market under the symbol “SPMD” and the Company will take part in Opening Bell ceremonies on Wednesday, January 6, 2010. “This is an exciting day for SuperMedia, our teammates, our clients and all others who have supported us as we have taken action to strengthen our balance sheet and position the enterprise to succeed in a challenging and rapidly changing business environment,” said Scott W. Klein, chief executive officer of SuperMedia Inc.

“Our new name symbolizes the rebirth of our company and along with it the ability to continue to deliver innovative ways that will change the way in which we help match buyers with sellers,” Klein added. “We will have much more to say about these initiatives – and our company’s renewed sense of excitement and energy – in the days, weeks and months ahead.”

The name change follows the Company’s emergence from a reorganization that reduced its total debt from more than $9 billion to $2.75 billion of secured bank debt.
