DOLPHIN
ANNOUNCES THAT ADDITIONAL REQUESTS FOR infoUSA’S BOOKS AND RECORDS HAVE BEEN
GRANTED
STAMFORD,
Conn., April 13, 2006 -- Dolphin Limited Partnership I, L.P. and its affiliate,
which together hold 2.0 million shares of infoUSA
Inc.
(NASDAQ: IUSA), today announced that the Court of Chancery of the State of
Delaware has granted Dolphin’s request to inspect certain books and records of
the company dating back to 1998 and 1999 relating to the compensation of, and
related party transactions with, Mr. Vinod Gupta, the company’s chairman and
chief executive officer. The Court also found that certain other documents
of
the company furnished pursuant to Dolphin’s books and records request
evidencing, summarizing or discussing related party transactions involving
Mr.
Vinod Gupta should not be designated confidential and therefore may be disclosed
by Dolphin.
At
the
conclusion of its review Dolphin expects to pursue any appropriate action based
on the presented facts and report back to shareholders, subject to the
provisions of the parties’ confidentiality agreement and the orders of the
Court.
The
following is a list of the names and stockholdings, if any, of
persons who may
be
deemed to be "participants" in Dolphin's solicitation with respect to the
shares
of
the Company: Dolphin owns beneficially and of record 1,000 shares of
common
stock and beneficially but not of record, together with its affiliate, an
aggregate
of 1,999,000 shares of common stock of the Company's outstanding stock.
Donald Netter, as Senior Managing Director of Dolphin and Brett Buckley,
as
Managing Director of Dolphin, may also be deemed to be participants but do
not
individually own any common stock of the Company. Malcolm "Mick" A. Aslin,
Karl
L.
Meyer and Robert A. Trevisani, as nominees for election as directors of
infoUSA
Inc., may also be deemed to be participants but do not individually own
any
common stock of the Company.
Dolphin
has filed preliminary proxy materials with the Securities and Exchange
Commission with respect to its solicitation in support of its nomination of
directors at the Company's 2006 annual meeting. Dolphin intends to disseminate
a
definitive proxy statement with respect to its solicitation at the appropriate
time. Shareholders should read this proxy statement if and when it becomes
available because it will contain important information. Shareholders will
be
able to obtain copies of the proxy statement, related materials and other
documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission's web site at
