Key Financial Metrics

Material Changes
On November 23, 2015, Dex Media, Inc. entered into a First Amendment to its existing Forbearance Agreement. The primary material change is the extension of the Forbearance Period:
- Previous Expiration: November 23, 2015, at 11:59 p.m. (New York time).
- New Expiration: December 14, 2015, at 11:59 p.m. (New York time).
The agreement involves multiple credit facilities administered by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, covering borrowers including Dex Media East, Inc., Dex Media West, Inc., SuperMedia, Inc., and R.H. Donnelley Inc.
Outlook, Risks, and Contingencies
The extended Forbearance Period remains subject to early termination upon the occurrence of certain termination events previously disclosed in the company's Form 8-K filed on November 5, 2015. The filing indicates ongoing negotiations or restructuring efforts with lenders, as evidenced by the need to extend the forbearance period rather than resolving the underlying debt issues immediately.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the specific "termination events" listed in the November 5, 2015 Form 8-K that could trigger early termination of the forbearance.
- Review the full text of the First Amendment (Exhibit 10.1) for any new covenants or conditions attached to the extension.
- Confirm the status of the underlying credit agreements with JPMorgan Chase and Deutsche Bank to assess the risk of default post-December 14, 2015.
- Check for subsequent filings to determine if the forbearance was extended again or if a restructuring plan was finalized.
