Dominion Enterprises Completes Company Formation
Finalizes Division of Assets between Co-Owners;
Creates $850 Million Internet and Print Media Company

Norfolk, Va., September 12, 2006 – Dominion Enterprises said today that it has completed the transaction announced in March to divide the assets of its predecessor company, Trader Publishing Company, between 50-50 co-owners Landmark Communications, Inc., Norfolk, Va., and Cox Enterprises, Atlanta, Ga.

The completion of this agreement gives Landmark 100-percent ownership of the media and information service properties in the employment, real estate, recreation, and industrial categories. Landmark’s assets now form a new company called “Dominion Enterprises.”

“We chose the name Dominion Enterprises to reflect our heritage as a Virginia-based company, as well as for its broad scope since our businesses span a wide variety of print and Internet assets,” said Chief Executive Officer Conrad M. Hall.

Dominion Enterprises’ assets include: 503 paid and free magazine titles such as For Rent®, Harmon Homes®, The Employment Guide®, Boat Trader®, Cycle Trader® and RV Trader® with a combined weekly circulation of nearly 6 million; over 40 market-leading websites such as ForRent.com®, Boats.com, and Traderonline.com™ reaching over 8 million monthly visitors; data capture and distribution businesses such as Dealer Specialties®; and web services businesses across all the company’s industry categories, including Homes.com® and Yachtworld.com®.

As part of the agreement, Dominion will also own Dominion Distribution Services (DDS), formerly Trader Distribution Services, which operates the company’s network of free distribution racks located in supermarkets, mass merchandisers and other national retail chains. DDS is the nation’s largest distributor of free publications in the United States, delivering over 225 million magazines and other free media annually.
“Dominion Enterprises has industry-leading positions in all of its businesses,” said Hall. “Going forward, we will build on these positions through organic growth and strategic acquisitions. We will seek to invest in companies that complement our existing businesses or that represent high-growth opportunities in their own right. These acquisitions may include companies outside of our current media and information services segments.”

Prior to the division of assets by Landmark and Cox, Trader Publishing Company had annual revenue of $1.3 billion. Approximately $850 million of this revenue figure will now form the annual revenue base of Dominion Enterprises.

Dominion Enterprises is expected to move into new company headquarters located in downtown Norfolk in January 2007. Nearly 1,000 of Dominion’s 6,600 employees work in the Norfolk/Hampton Roads area.
Concluded Hall, “We greet the start of Dominion Enterprises with confidence in our ability to maintain the same high standards, work ethic, and commitment to customers that has been our hallmark.”
