Statement by infoUSA CEO says don’t be fooled by activist hedge
funds claiming to be “loyal shareholders.”

(OMAHA, NE)— Vinod Gupta, chief executive officer of infoUSA^Ò, (NASDAQ: IUSA), the leading provider of proprietary business and consumer databases, sales leads, direct marketing, and email marketing, issued the following statement today in response to continued attacks on the company by hedge fund Dolphin Limited Partnership and its front man, Don Netter.

“ Dolphin is an opportunistic hedge fund that typifies what’s wrong with Wall Street these days. Claiming to be crusading for the interests of investors, waving the banner of “corporate governance,” Dolphin looks to make a quick buck. It is no wonder ordinary investors are cynical about hedge funds, with their greenmail tactics and efforts to trade on inside information. Certainly, it is disconcerting to receive communications from Dolphin claiming to know what is best for the future of infoUSA. Then to be confronted with the reality that, according to Thompson Financial in the first quarter of this year, Dolphin reduced its holdings in infoUSA by 185,301 shares. Mr. Netter is talking out of both sides of his mouth.

It is ironic that Mr. Netter should direct his attacks at me — the true ‘loyal shareholder.’ I am the founder of the Company and my financial fate, and that of my family, quite literally depends on the Company’s success. infoUSA shares are not some small piece of a billion-dollar fund that I manage. Unlike Mr. Netter, I am not a quick-buck artist who can profit from damaging the reputation of the Company. The only way I can succeed is by truly enhancing the value of the company over the long term. It seems to me easy to tell who really has the interests of all shareholders at heart.”
