Item 1. Security and Issuer

This statement relates to the Common Stock, $.001 par value per share (the "Common Stock" ), of DEX ONE CORP. , a Delaware corporation (the "Issuer"),

whose principal executive offices are located at 1001 Winstead Drive, Cary, North Carolina 27513.

Item 2. Identity and Background

(e) During the last five years, none of the filers, and to the best knowledge of the filers, none of the persons listed on Exhibit A was a party to a civil

CUSIP NO. 25212W100 Page 7 of 17

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

The Common Stock was issued in connection with the Issuer’s emergence from Chapter 11 bankruptcy under a joint plan of reorganization of the Issuer and its

subsidiaries effective as of January 29, 2010 (the “Plan”). The Plan is described in the Issuer’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on February 4, 2010. Unsecured

debt beneficially owned by one or more open- or closed-end investment companies or other managed accounts that are clients (collectively, “Clients”) of investment

managers that are direct and indirect subsidiaries (collectively, the “Investment Management Subsidiaries”) of FRI, including FAV, was exchanged for the Common

Stock pursuant to the Plan. In addition, in connection with the Plan certain of the Clients received the Issuer’s Senior Subordinated Notes which are subject to the Indenture

as defined and described below.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

The Investment Management Subsidiaries acquired the Common Stock for the Clients for the purpose of investment.

None of the Investment Management Subsidiaries, and none of any of the other reporting persons covered by this

Schedule 13D, currently has any plans or proposals that relate to or would result in any of the actions described

in paragraphs (a) through (j) of the instructions to Item 4 of Schedule 13D, or any present plans or intentions

to acquire or dispose of any securities of the Issuer other than on behalf of the Clients.

Under that certain Restructuring Support Agreement, dated as of May 28, 2009 (the “Noteholder Support Agreement”), among the Issuer, its subsidiaries and certain of the Issuer’s noteholders, including FAV and certain of the Clients (the “Franklin Entities”), the Franklin Entities had the right to select three of the Issuer’s directors in connection with the Plan. The Franklin Entities selected Richard L. Kuersteiner, who currently serves as consultant to FRI. Mr. Kuersteiner has served in various capacities at FRI since 1990, including Director of Restructuring, Managing Corporate Counsel, Associate General Counsel, and has served as an officer of various Franklin Templeton funds. The Franklin Entities also supported two other directors selected by other parties to the Noteholder Support Agreement, Mark A. McEachen and Alan F. Schultz. Mr. McEachen and Mr. Schultz are not affiliated with any of FRI, the Investment Management Subsidiaries or the Clients. A copy of the form of Noteholder Support Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit D.

The Issuer and certain of the Clients entered into a Registration Rights Agreement pursuant which the Issuer has agreed to cause shares of the Common Stock to be registered under Section 5 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1933, as amended, in accordance with the terms and conditions of that Agreement. The Registration Rights Agreement is incorporated by reference herein as Exhibit E.

Also pursuant to the Plan, the Issuer and The Bank of New York Mellon entered into an Indenture (the “Indenture”) in connection with the issuance of the Issuer’s $300,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Senior Subordinated Notes maturing on January 29, 2017. The terms of the Indenture, among others, require the Issuer to offer to repurchase the Senior Subordinated Notes at par after certain changes of control involving the Issuer. The Indenture provides that a change in control includes any person other than any Franklin Entity (as defined in the Indenture), becoming the ultimate beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of 50% or more of the total voting power of the Issuer’s voting stock on a fully diluted basis. The Indenture is incorporated by reference herein as Exhibit F.

The Investment Management Subsidiaries, on behalf of the Clients, may in the future acquire additional

shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Issuer, in the open market, in privately-negotiated

purchases or otherwise, and may also, depending upon then-current circumstances, dispose of all or a

portion of the Common Stock in one or more transactions. Additionally, the Investment Management Subsidiaries’ reserve the right on behalf of the Clients, to exercise any and all of their respective rights as stockholders of the Issuer in a manner consistent with their equity interests and reserve the right from time to time to formulate plans or proposals regarding the Issuer or any of its securities, including without limitation to carry out any of the actions or transactions described in paragraphs (a) through (j) of the instructions to Item 4 of Schedule 13D, to the extent deemed advisable by the Investment Management Subsidiaries.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer

(a-b) The 15,264,757 shares of Common Stock covered by this Schedule 13D, representing 30.5% of the outstanding

Common Stock, are beneficially owned by the Clients. Investment management contracts grant to the

Investment Management Subsidiaries all investment and/or voting power over the securities owned by the

Clients, except as otherwise disclosed below. Therefore, for purposes of Rule 13d-3 under the Act, the

Investment Management Subsidiaries may be deemed to be the beneficial owners of the Securities.

CUSIP NO. 25212W100 Page 8 of 17

Beneficial ownership by the Investment Management Subsidiaries and other affiliates of FRI is being

reported in conformity with the guidelines articulated by the SEC staff in Release No. 34-39538 (January

12, 1998) relating to organizations, such as FRI, where related entities exercise voting and investment

powers over the securities being reported independently from each other. The voting and investment powers

held by Franklin Mutual Advisers, LLC (“FMA”), an indirect wholly-owned investment management subsidiary

of FRI, are exercised independently from FRI and from all other investment management subsidiaries of FRI

(FRI, its affiliates and the investment management subsidiaries other than FMA are, collectively, “FRI

affiliates”). Furthermore, internal policies and procedures of FMA and FRI establish informational

barriers that prevent the flow between FMA and the FRI affiliates of information that relates to the

voting and investment powers over the securities owned by their respective investment management clients.

Consequently, FMA and the FRI affiliates report the securities over which they hold investment and voting

power separately from each other for purposes of Section 13 of the Act.

The Principal Shareholders each own in excess of 10% of the outstanding Common Stock of FRI and are the

principal stockholders of FRI. FRI and the Principal Shareholders may be deemed to be, for purposes of

Rule 13d-3 under the Act, the beneficial owners of securities held by persons and entities for whom or for

which FRI subsidiaries provide investment management services. The number of shares that may be deemed to

be beneficially owned and the percentage of the class of which such shares are a part are reported in

Items 11 and 13 of the cover pages for FRI and each of the Principal Shareholders. FRI, the Principal

Shareholders and each of the Investment Management Subsidiaries disclaim any pecuniary interest in any of

the Securities. In addition, the filing of this Schedule 13D on behalf of the Principal Shareholders, FRI

and the FRI affiliates, as applicable, should not be construed as an admission that any of them is, and each

disclaims that it is, the beneficial owner, as defined in Rule 13d-3, of any of the Securities.

FRI, the Principal Shareholders, and each of the Investment Management Subsidiaries believe that they are

not a “group” within the meaning of Rule 13d-5 under the Act and that they are not otherwise required to

attribute to each other the beneficial ownership of the Securities held by any of them or by any persons

or entities for whom or for which the Investment Management Subsidiaries provide investment management services.
