Executive Summary

Industry is in flux due to changing consumer behavior, creating both risks and opportunity Small and Medium Businesses’ (“SMBs”) needs are changing and we are adapting

Duration of cyclical pressures gives rise to trade-offs and accelerating secular changes

Advertising is often viewed as discretionary – SMBs must make choices

We believe our investment thesis holds – LIM markets were insulated, not isolated Challenges unique to us: system conversion and rolling out Berry Leads These business decisions have both intentional and unintentional costs to the business Having the right business model is critical in this environment

A channel strategy that is advertiser-focused

We believe we have the right model; need the runway to prove it Preliminary results from Berry Leads are promising Financial results reflect the cyclical and secular pressures

Print revenue declines and increased bad debt and claims and adjustments

2010 revenue and EBITDA are expected to be significantly below prior expectations

We are likely to breach the financial covenants under Regatta’s credit facilities at September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2010

Lazard has been engaged as financial advisor to assist in the evaluation of our capital structure, including balance sheet restructuring options Bank lenders and bondholders have retained advisors; we have engaged with them

PERFORMANCE OBSERVATIONS

Major books published through Q3 are generally experiencing double-digit YoY sales declines

Large number of non-pay accounts this year who are cancelled out

of the books

Economy is still impacting the Company’s Publications

Unemployment and foreclosure rates are high

Clients are skeptical about recovery and cautious about spending

BERRY ILOB SUMMARY

~120 Telco sales agency agreements ~650 books published Revenue percentage paid to Berry:

Average 40% print, 50% digital

Billback certain expenses at equivalent percentages Approximates gross margin perspective

Competition from AT&T, YellowBook and ReachLocal is strong

However, Regatta’s digital offerings and Pay4Performance (“P4P”) bolstered sales in many markets

Regatta Year-to-Date Performance

($ in millions)

RESULTS

Revenue: Revenue declines have been driven by loss of print revenue. Print ad sale declines have been impacted by the economy, competition, directory extensions in 2009 and a trend towards digital. Digital revenue is experiencing slight growth over 2009

Margin: Overall margin has been impacted due to directory extensions in 2009 and unabsorbed fixed cost as print revenue has declined Operating Expenses: Reduction in force has helped reduce operating expenses (net of severance). This reduction is partially offset by an increase in personnel costs, professional fees and contract labor assisting with the system integration and investment in Berry Leads

Bad Debt: Bad debt has increased to ~6% due to economic pressure facing small to medium sized businesses and the impact from 2009 directory extensions

Claims and adjustments: Claims and adjustments at June 30, 2010 was 1.58% compared to 1.84% in 2009; however, C&A is trending higher

Print, P4P and Digital Detail

Print

Ad sales decline higher than expected; impacted by the following: Economy Competition Directory extensions in 2009 Secular trends Regatta has lost some Telco contracts

P4P

Leads-based pricing program that enables advertisers to pay for calls received from print and digital advertising

By reducing risk for advertisers through a pay per call pricing model we have generated incremental revenue

by “selling more to more”

and retaining advertising revenues from “at risk” customers

As a new program without full data visibility at inception, we have encountered forecasting issues but have tightened our forecasting methodology

The result was a general overstatement of expected call volumes for these non-core headings Since call volumes have been lower than anticipated, AVO per customer is lower than expected

Digital

Training under the Berry Leads program has been completed

YoY increase in Digital revenue reflects the roll-out of Berry Leads. This growth has been driven by the SEM and Website product offerings as SMBs continue to utilize online services to promote their businesses. The increase in cost is due to higher cost associated with the delivery of the new product set

Regatta Bad Debt & Claims and Adjustments

ISSUES

Bad debt expense has risen from 4.6% in 2009 to ~6.0% YTD 2010 due to the following factors:

Economic Decline – Many SMBs are experiencing financial difficulties, which has led to prioritization of spending away from advertising and bankruptcies

Directory Extension – These publications have strained collection efforts in 2010

Systems – Delay in system integration functionality has required additional resources to focus on billings, rather than collections; additionally, implementation of process improvements has been delayed

P4P – Can be more difficult to collect from these accounts

Claims and adjustments at June 30, 2010 was 1.58% compared to 1.84% in 2009; however, C&A is trending higher

Regatta Cost Saving Initiatives

Prior year cost saving initiatives (since the Berry acquisition in Q2 2008)

Four office closures (Birmingham, Alabama; Macedonia, Ohio; Lincoln, Nebraska and Monroeville, Pennsylvania) The elimination of approximately 290 positions A majority of finished graphics work in print directories has also been outsourced to Macmillan India Ltd.

2010 cost saving initiatives: Initial Plan

Three office closures contemplated (Matthews, North Carolina; Hudson, Ohio and Erie, Pennsylvania) The elimination of 320 headcount, primarily in the areas of operations, sales and field marketing, information technology and marketing

2010 cost saving initiatives: Progress-to-Date

The closing of Hudson, Ohio has been postponed pending resolution of operational challenges

Through June 2010, ~$3.2 million in severance and related costs was incurred in connection with the 2010 Restructuring Plan. Accrual will be evaluated in light of need to reduce RIF

Approximately 460 headcount departures to date, through the planned reduction in force and attrition Approximately 225 headcount additions related to Berry Leads, backfilling open positions and to address operational impacts Approximately 235 net headcount reductions year-to-date

Systems Conversion and Production Issues

Although the Company has made progress on reducing costs, systems / IT issues have led to increased costs in 2010 and are likely to persist into 2011

Core production system implementation began in Q4 2009; system went live Q1 2010

Issues started to be identified in late Q2 2010; books began publishing on the new system in July, with the volume of books published on the new system accelerating in August and September

We have experienced printing errors and delays in production and had to undertake additional proofing of books Due to these issues, the decision was made to stop cut-over processes for books not already converted

Direct costs

Additional resources to work on system implementation

Resources required for manual work around that are necessary where system functionality is not complete Additional resources to support two systems: core and legacy

Consequential impacts

Bad debt / claims and adjustments impacts

Lowered productivity of sales force due to decreased functionality of software and increased work load due to administrative requirements Difficult to ascertain the collateral impact of customer behavior stemming from the operational issues Implementation of certain process improvements has been delayed

Steps being taken

Additional technical resources have been added by the system vendor to fix defects Alternative simpler technical solutions are being evaluated for order entry Data conversion issues are being addressed through a cleansing initiative

Summary / Public Lender Q&A

Our industry is in flux, creating both risks and opportunity

Print platform is mature and in decline in many markets

Digital local search in our markets is already a big business and expected to grow

Our print business is unlike other print media business models (i.e., newspapers, magazines). We have no consumer revenues (i.e., subscriptions) at risk. We are purely advertiser supported

SMBs still need to get “found” Their needs are changing and we are adapting

We are uniquely positioned to capture SMB spend on local search marketing

Relationship with ~240,000 advertisers and proximity to another 1.6 million in our markets Local search is our DNA

We have invested heavily to build the necessary new capabilities

Preliminary results from Berry Leads rollout are promising

When we execute on the model as designed, we believe we will generate growth in our digital business

2010 and 2011 are pivotal years (cyclical pressures continue, addressing secular growth opportunity on a rollout schedule) Sales process execution and systems implementation are keys to success

Restructuring effort

2010 revenue and EBITDA are expected to be significantly below prior expectations

We are likely to breach the financial covenants under Regatta’s credit facilities at September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2010 Lazard has been engaged as financial advisor to assist in the evaluation of our capital structure, including balance sheet restructuring options Bank lenders have engaged FTI Consulting and Simpson Thacher; bondholders have engaged Houlihan Lokey and Milbank Tweed We have engaged with the administrative agent and the advisors for the bank lenders and bondholders; we are prepared to work with the steering committee when formed
