8.
Shareholders and Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") Form W-9 and IRS Form W-8
   
 
United States federal income tax law generally requires that a Shareholder who receives consideration in exchange for Shares provide the Depositary with (i) its correct Taxpayer Identification Number ("TIN") on a completed IRS Form W-9 if such Shareholder is a U.S. person for U.S. federal income tax purposes ("U.S. Holder"), or (ii) the appropriate and properly completed IRS Form W-8 if the Shareholder is not a U.S. Holder. In the case of a U.S. Holder who is an individual, the TIN is generally the individual’s social security number. If the Depositary is not provided with the correct information or an adequate basis for an exemption, the Shareholder may be subject to penalties imposed by the IRS and backup withholding (currently) at a rate of 28%. If withholding results in an overpayment of taxes, a refund may be obtained, provided that the requisite information is correctly furnished to the IRS in a timely manner.
   
 
To prevent backup withholding, each U.S. Holder must timely provide the Depositary with the U.S. Holder’s correct TIN on IRS Form W-9, attached hereto, (or available from the IRS by calling 1-800-TAX-FORM (1-800-829-3676) or from the IRS website at http://www.irs.gov), which requires such U.S. Holder to certify under penalties of perjury, (1) that the TIN provided is correct (or that such U.S Holder is awaiting a TIN), (2) that (i) the U.S. Holder is exempt from backup withholding, (ii) the U.S. Holder has not been notified by the IRS that he, she or it is subject to backup withholding as a result of a failure to report all interest or dividends or (iii) the IRS has notified the U.S. Holder that he, she or it is no longer subject to backup withholding, and (3) that the U.S. Holder is a U.S. person for U.S. federal income tax purposes (including a U.S. resident alien).
   
 
Certain Shareholders (including, among others, certain corporations and certain non-U.S. persons) are exempt from backup withholding and reporting requirements. To prevent possible erroneous backup withholding, a U.S. Holder exempt from backup withholding should furnish its TIN, check the box labeled "Exempt from backup withholding", and sign, date and send the IRS Form W-9 to the Depositary.
   
 
If a U.S. Holder does not have a TIN, such U.S. Holder should: (i) consult the attached IRS Form W-9 for instructions on applying for a TIN, (ii) write "Applied For" in the space for the TIN in Part 1 of the IRS Form W-9, and (iii) sign and date the IRS Form W-9. In such case, back-up withholding may apply to any payment made to such U.S. Holder prior to the time a properly certified TIN is provided to the Depositary, and if the Depositary is not provided with a TIN within sixty (60) days, such withheld amounts will be paid over to the IRS.
   
 
If the IRS Form W-9 is not applicable to a Shareholder because such Shareholder is not a U.S. person for U.S. federal income tax purposes, such Shareholder will instead need to submit an appropriate and properly completed IRS Form W-8, signed under penalty of perjury. IRS Form W-8BEN (or other appropriate Form W-8) may be obtained from the Depositary.
   
 
A SHAREHOLDER WHO FAILS TO PROPERLY COMPLETE THE IRS FORM W-9 ATTACHED TO THIS LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL OR, IF APPLICABLE, THE APPROPRIATE IRS FORM W-8, MAY BE SUBJECT TO BACKUP WITHHOLDING OF 28% (CURRENTLY) OF THE GROSS PROCEEDS OF ANY PAYMENTS MADE TO SUCH SHAREHOLDER PURSUANT TO THE OFFER. SEE IRS FORM W-9 ATTACHED HERETO FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION.
   
 
Internal Revenue Service Circular 230 Notice
   
 
TO ENSURE COMPLIANCE WITH INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE CIRCULAR 230, YOU ARE HEREBY NOTIFIED THAT: (A) ANY DISCUSSION OF UNITED STATES FEDERAL TAX ISSUES IN THIS LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL IS NOT INTENDED OR WRITTEN TO BE USED, AND CANNOT BE USED, BY SHAREHOLDERS FOR THE PURPOSE OF AVOIDING PENALTIES THAT MAY BE IMPOSED ON SHAREHOLDERS UNDER THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE OF 1986, AS AMENDED; (B) SUCH DISCUSSION IS WRITTEN TO SUPPORT THE PROMOTION OR MARKETING OF THE TRANSACTIONS OR MATTERS ADDRESSED HEREIN; AND (C) SHAREHOLDERS SHOULD SEEK ADVICE BASED ON THEIR PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES FROM AN INDEPENDENT TAX ADVISOR.

Exhibit T3E.5  
 
Yellow Media Amends Proposed Recapitalization
 
Montreal (Quebec), September 4, 2012 — Yellow Media Inc. (TSX: YLO) announced today that, in connection with its proposed recapitalization, it has amended the plan of arrangement to be considered and voted upon by the Company's debtholders and shareholders at the meetings scheduled to be held this coming Thursday, September 6, 2012.
 
The Board of Directors of Yellow Media has decided to amend the plan of arrangement pursuant to Section 6.3 thereof so that the Company's existing convertible unsecured subordinated debentures will be exchanged, as part of the recapitalization, for an increased number of existing common shares, on the basis of 50 shares, up from 12.5 shares, for each $100 principal amount of existing subordinated debentures.  This amendment is supported by the holders of the Company's existing medium term notes that have executed support agreements in favour of the recapitalization.  The revised exchange ratio is the same as the exchange ratio used to determine the consideration to be received pursuant to the recapitalization by holders of the Company's existing preferred shares.  The Board has made this decision after giving consideration to the numerous representations made to the Company regarding the recapitalization, in particular by holders of existing subordinated debentures.  Yellow Media is of the view that the recapitalization, after giving effect to the amendment, is responsive to the comments which have been received and strikes a better balance between the interests of stakeholders having regard to available alternatives while recognizing the imperative of moving forward with the recapitalization in order to provide the Company with the necessary financial flexibility to pursue its ongoing business transformation.
 
After giving effect to the amendment, the number of new common shares and warrants to purchase new common shares to be received by holders of the Company's existing preferred shares and common shares pursuant to the recapitalization will remain unchanged while the number of new common shares and warrants to be received by holders of existing subordinated debentures pursuant to the recapitalization will increase from 125,000 to 500,000 new common shares and from 71,429 to 285,714 warrants.  The following table presents the consideration to be received by debentureholders and shareholders under the recapitalization, after giving effect to the amendment, for each $1,000 face value of existing subordinated debentures and for each 100 existing preferred shares or common shares.
 
           
   
New common shares (#)
 
Warrants (#)
 
$1,000 face value of existing subordinated debentures
    2.50000     1.42857  
100 existing preferred shares, series 1, 2, 3, or 5
    6.25000     3.57143  
100 existing preferred shares, series 7
    1.87500     1.07143  
100 existing common shares
    0.50000     0.28571  
 
The amendment does not affect the relative treatment of senior debtholders under the recapitalization.  As such, in order to preserve the allocation to senior debtholders under the recapitalization and to account for the increased number of new common shares to be issued, the number of new common shares to be issued to senior debtholders pursuant to the recapitalization will increase from 21,295,090 to 23,062,947, the exercise price of the warrants will be reduced from $31.67 to $29.25, and the exchange price of the senior subordinated exchangeable debentures to be issued to senior debtholders pursuant to the recapitalization will be reduced from $21.95 to $20.27.  The aggregate number of new common shares to be issued pursuant to the recapitalization will thus rise from 25,812,230 to 27,955,088.

The following table presents the approximate amount of cash, senior secured notes and senior subordinated exchangeable debentures, and the approximate number of new common shares and warrants to be received under the recapitalization, after giving effect to the amendment, by lenders under the Company's senior unsecured credit facilities and holders of the Company's existing medium term notes, subordinated debentures, preferred shares and common shares.

The Board of Directors has determined, following the unanimous favourable recommendation of its Financing Committee, that the recapitalization is in the best interests of Yellow Media, taking into account the interests of  stakeholders, and unanimously recommends that debtholders and shareholders vote in favour of the recapitalization. BMO Capital Markets and Canaccord Genuity have provided opinions to the Board of Directors of Yellow Media to the effect that the recapitalization, as amended, continues to be fair from a financial point of view to the holders of the Company's existing preferred shares, common shares, subordinated debentures and senior debt.
 
In order to be valid, proxies for the meetings scheduled to be held September 6, 2012 must be received no later than 4:00 p.m. (Montréal time) on September 5, 2012.
 
The text of the amended and restated plan of arrangement will be filed today on SEDAR (www.sedar.com) and is available on Yellow Media's website (www.ypg.com).

Exhibit T3E.7
 
Yellow Media Inc.’s Proposed Recapitalization Transaction Receives TSX Conditional Approval
 
Montreal (Quebec), September 7, 2012 — Yellow Media Inc. (TSX: YLO) is pleased to announce that the Toronto Stock Exchange (the “TSX”) has conditionally approved the issuance (the “Issuance”) and the listing of up to 48,179,730 new common shares of Yellow Media Ltd. (the “New Common Shares”) issuable pursuant to Yellow Media’s previously announced proposed recapitalization transaction (the “Recapitalization”) to be implemented pursuant to a plan of arrangement (the “Plan of Arrangement”) under the Canada Business Corporations Act. The 48,179,730 New Common Shares approved for listing represent both the New Common Shares issuable pursuant to the Recapitalization as well as the New Common Shares underlying the other securities issuable pursuant to the Recapitalization.
 
Under the TSX’s listing requirements, the TSX requires securityholder approval as the Issuance will result in the issuance of an aggregate number of New Common Shares that is greater than 25% of the number of common shares of Yellow Media currently outstanding. On an exceptional basis, the TSX has advised Yellow Media that it will accept the shareholders' resolution approving the Recapitalization, as contemplated under the Plan of Arrangement and the interim order granted by the Québec Superior Court on July 23, 2012, as satisfying the TSX's condition that a majority of Yellow Media's common shareholders approve the Issuance because the common shareholders, preferred shareholders and convertible debentureholders entitled to vote on the shareholders’ resolution have fully paid for their securities and are being significantly diluted pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement.
 
At the debtholders' and shareholders' meetings held on September 6, 2012, the Recapitalization was approved by the requisite majority of Yellow Media’s debtholders and shareholders. The implementation of the Recapitalization is expected to occur by the end of September 2012 subject to a number of conditions, including the receipt of the final approval by the Québec Superior Court, and to other risks and uncertainties.
 
Further information concerning the Recapitalization is available on SEDAR (www.sedar.com) and the company's website (www.ypg.com).

Exhibit T3E.11

Yellow Media Reaches Settlement with Holders of Existing Convertible Unsecured Subordinated Debentures and Amends Proposed Recapitalization

Montreal (Quebec), October 17, 2012  — Yellow Media Inc. (TSX: YLO) announced today that it reached a settlement with the ad hoc committee of holders of existing convertible unsecured subordinated debentures contesting the Company's proposed recapitalization, as a result of which the ad hoc committee agreed to support the recapitalization and withdraw all contestation in respect thereof.

As part of the settlement, the Company agreed to amend the terms of the recapitalization such that holders of convertible debentures will be entitled to receive, in exchange for all entitlements relating to their convertible debentures, $2.5 million principal amount of senior subordinated exchangeable debentures and 200,000 additional warrants to purchase new common shares, in addition to the 500,000 new common shares and 285,714 warrants that holders of convertible debentures were already entitled to receive pursuant to the recapitalization, as amended on September 4, 2012. The Company will also amend the terms of the recapitalization such that holders of affected senior unsecured debt will be entitled to receive an additional $25 million principal amount of senior secured notes.

In addition, the Company has agreed to forthwith pay the interest on the convertible debentures due October 1, 2012 (for the six month period ending on and including September 30, 2012), not conditional on the recapitalization becoming effective. Interest on the convertible debentures due October 1, 2012 will be paid on October 19, 2012 to holders of record as of the close of business on September 20, 2012, in accordance with the terms of the indenture governing the convertible debentures. The terms of the recapitalization initially provided that no accrued or unpaid interest would be paid on the convertible debentures.

The settlement also provides for the reimbursement by the Company of certain legal and other costs of the ad hoc committee in the amount of approximately $650,000.

The following table presents the consideration to be received by existing holders of affected senior unsecured debt, convertible debentures, preferred shares and common shares pursuant to the recapitalization, as amended.

The hearing for the final approval by the Québec Superior Court of the recapitalization, including the amendments to reflect the settlement, is currently in progress. Subject to the final approval of the recapitalization by the Court, no accrued interest will be paid in respect of the convertible debentures for the period from (and including) October 1, 2012 upon the recapitalization becoming effective.

The listing of the additional warrants and senior subordinated exchangeable debentures resulting from the amendments to the terms of the recapitalization to reflect the settlement and of the new common shares to be issued upon the exercise or exchange of such warrants or senior subordinated exchangeable debentures, as well as the reduction in the exercise price and exchange price of the warrants and senior subordinated exchangeable debentures, remain subject to the approval of the Toronto Stock Exchange.
