Senior Partner, Robins, Kaplan, Miller & Ciresi, L.L.P. Bill L. Fairfield Chairman, DreamField Capital Ventures, LLC Bernard W. Reznicek President & CFO, Premier Enterprises, Inc. Dr. George F. Haddix Former CEO, CSG Systems, Inc. Anshoo S. Gupta President, JAG Operations, LLP Dennis P. Walker President & CEO, Jet Linx Aviation Vasant H. Raval Professor, Creighton University Dear infoUSA Board: The June 7 Annual Meeting of Shareholders is fast approaching. Last year over 90% of the unaffiliated shareholders of infoUSA sent a clear mandate for reform. As Institutional Shareholder Services (ISS), the world's leading independent proxy voting advisory service, said, "Since the [2006] proxy contest, [infoUSA] has not taken sufficient steps in addressing shareholder concerns...." The director and head of M&A research at ISS mirrored the sentiments expressed in the ISS report when he very recently said, "In my experience, this company has been the least accountable to shareholders from the ones I've reviewed at ISS ... Nothing seems to have changed in the governance profile."(1) Good corporate governance principles dictate that directors face their shareholders at least once a year at the Annual Meeting. The shareholders expect that each of you will attend this year's Annual Meeting in Calverton, Maryland. Last year, when you held the meeting in Marshfield, Wisconsin, only one Board member other than Mr. Vinod Gupta appeared. We ask -- how many of you will attend this year's Meeting on June 7th? Last year you heard the shareholders' powerful message of discontent, and we believe you will hear it again this year and will continue to hear it. The shareholders are calling for real change and a new era of good corporate governance at infoUSA. Very truly yours, Donald T. Netter Senior Managing Director (1) Quoted in, "ISS Blasts infoUSA," The Daily Deal, May 30, 2007. SHAREHOLDERS ACT NOW!
