Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Principal Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

As previously reported, on January 9, 2007, the board of directors (the “Board”) of Idearc Inc. (the “Company”) established target incentive compensation plan award percentages for the Company’s named executive officers who are not covered by an employment agreement (the “Applicable NEOs”). On February 15, 2007 (the “Grant Date”), the Board approved the terms and conditions of the Company’s 2007 short- and long-term incentive plans.

2007 Short-Term Incentive Plan

Awards under the Company’s 2007 short-term incentive plan (the “STI”) will be measured by attainment of performance targets related to print published revenue, internet revenue and operating income before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (OIBITDA) during the period beginning January 1, 2007 and ending December 31, 2007. STI awards, if achieved, will be paid in cash during the first quarter of 2008.

Achievement of 100% of the STI performance targets would result in payment of a target STI award based on a percentage of the Applicable NEO’s base salary (the “Target STI Award”). Achievement of the minimum threshold for payment under the STI would result in a payment equal to 25% of the Target STI Award. The maximum payout under the STI would result in a payment equal to 200% of the Target STI Award.

Individual STI awards will be calculated by multiplying the Applicable NEO’s base salary by a percentage that is determined based on attainment of the STI performance targets. The table below sets forth the Target STI Award for each of the Applicable NEOs.

2007 Long-Term Incentive Plan

Awards under the Company’s long-term incentive plan (the “LTI”) will be measured by the Company’s total shareholder return, or TSR, relative to the TSR of a market benchmark over a 3-year measurement period beginning on January 1, 2007 and ending on December 31, 2009 (the “LTI Measurement Period”).

Achievement of 100% of the LTI performance target would result in payment of a target LTI award based on the closing price of the Company’s stock on the last trading day in the LTI Measurement Period and the number of performance units granted to the Applicable NEO on the Grant Date (the “Target LTI Award”). Achievement of the minimum threshold for payment under the LTI would result in a payment equal to 25% of the Target LTI Award. The maximum payout under the LTI would result in a payment equal to 150% of the Target LTI Award.

On the Grant Date, each Applicable NEO was granted a number of performance units determined by (i) multiplying the Applicable NEO’s base salary by a target LTI percentage, and (ii) dividing the product thereof by $34.75, which was the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the Grant Date. The performance units will be settled in cash at the end of the LTI Measurement Period.

The table below sets forth the Target LTI Award for each of the Applicable NEOs and number of performance units awarded on the Grant Date.
