STRATEGIC RATIONALE John Condron CEO

5 Transaction overview  Agreement with Telefonica to acquire 59.9% of the share capital of TPI by way of an all cash public tender offer valuing TPI equity at €3,069m, with the assumption of €220m of net debt (a) –Yell will launch tender offer for 100% of TPI share capital  Values each TPI share at €8.50 –4.9% discount to the current market price of €8.94 (close of 27 April 2006) –22.3% premium to the 3 month average price of €6.95 per TPI share prior to 18 January 2006 (b)  EV multiple of 15.0x reported year end 31 December 2005 EBITDA  Approvals needed from Spanish antitrust authorities and Yell shareholders  Circa £350m being raised through equity, remainder of transaction financed through debt (a) Net debt estimate at Q1 2006, inclusive of dividend announced of €144.4m to be paid on 5 May 2006 (b) On 18 th January, the Spanish stock market regulator, CNMV, announced the requirement for listed companies, that also allow their controlling units to trade, to divide their businesses to avoid conflicts of interest. This generated rumours of a potential strategic sale by Telefonica of its stake in TPI

6 Acquisition rationale Expanding Yell into attractive growth markets Leading position in Spain Powerful brand recognition Good, experienced management Clear opportunities for revenue and profit uplift from “back to basics” strategy High cash conversion EPS accretive in first full year and return on capital in excess of 8.0% by the fourth full year OUTSTANDING OPPORTUNITY

9 Opportunity for Yell – grow usage  Build usage – Yellow Pages usage lower than rest of Europe – Spain usage of 27% vs. 65% in UK (a)  Refocus spend in A&P on core products – has historically declined with introduction of new products  Improve comprehensiveness and scoping of directories  Speed up distribution to enhance usage (a) Source: Kelsey Group report March 2006 TRANSFERRAL OF BEST PRACTICE

10 Opportunity for Yell – grow customer numbers (a) Defined as percentage of population with access to directory print publications - per Kelsey Group; Global Yellow Pages 2005 Source: TPI and Yell estimates TPI declining customer base – Yellow Pages TRANSFERRAL OF BEST PRACTICE

11 Opportunity for Yell – grow ARPA  Grow ARPA pricing - TPI 2005 yellow pages ARPA of €963 vs. average 2004/2005 ARPA in Europe (a) of €1,146 (UK (b) ARPA of €1,794)  Refocus sales force on core products  Reinvest in sales force – recruitment and training –TPI revenue per sales rep 20% lower than the UK  Redesign discounting programme - discounts give away substantial proportion of revenue  Simplify advert range (a)Europe is defined as the average of UK, Germany, France, Italy and Spain (b)Represented by Yell’s UK business, assuming an FX rate €:£ = 1.45 Source: Kelsey Group March 2006 TRANSFERRAL OF BEST PRACTICE

13 Latin America  Small but growing business  Latin American assets represent 21% of TPI revenues and 13% of EBITDA  Robust growth and market leading positions  Already de-risked and separately managed  Align with Yell’s best operational, marketing and sales practice

14 TPI integration plan  Sharing of best practice led by senior Yell team to re-focus business  Strong track record of US integration and transferral of best practice  Support for strong local management through secondment of Yell people  Expect to be substantially integrated by calendar year end 2007 REALISING THE OPPORTUNITY

19 Synergies  €22m (£15m) cost synergies realised by 2008/2009, driven by economies of scale and increased purchasing power, and fully realised from renegotiation of supplier contracts and consolidation of IT operations –operations; paper, print and press (€13m) –IT & order processing (€7m) –head office (€2m) –limited synergies prior to this due to existing contracts run down  Overall cost base held but redirected towards top-line print revenue growth, no additional investment  Additional 4% margin uplift from revenue initiatives

20 Financing  Draw down from new £4.65bn fully underwritten senior bank facility –Refinance existing Yell senior bank facility, buyback and redeem high yield bonds –Finance the acquisition of TPI  Equity placing of approximately £350m  Future acquisition headroom (un-utilised revolving credit facility of £400m available) for future US growth opportunities – no limitation to fund growth in Yell North American operations  Attractive rates – low cost of debt

21 Summary  Expanding Yell into an alternative growth market  Clear opportunities for revenue and profit uplift  Transferral of best practice  Funding maintains flexibility - supports strategy of growing Yell’s footprint in the US  Maintain dividend policy  Return on capital in excess of 8.0% by the fourth full year AN OUTSTANDING EUROPEAN GROWTH OPPORTUNITY
