Angie's List Appoints J. Mark Howell as Interim CEO

INDIANAPOLIS - July 1, 2015 - Angie's List, Inc. (NASDAQ: ANGI), a local services marketplace and leading provider of consumer reviews, today announced that J. Mark Howell, its Chief Operating Officer, has been named Interim Chief Executive Officer, effective July 1, 2015, following the resignation of its co-founder Bill Oesterle that had previously been announced on April 15, 2015. Mr. Howell will step in as interim CEO while the Board continues its search for Mr. Oesterle’s permanent successor. Mr. Oesterle decided that this was an appropriate time to step down given the significant increase in demands for his attention outside of the business. He has also resigned from the Company’s Board of Directors, effective June 30, 2015.

“Angie’s List has a strong and talented management team and the company remains focused on executing against its marketplace strategy,” said John Chuang, Chairman of the Board. “Mark has extensive leadership experience in a public company setting and, having served successfully as Angie’s List’s COO for more than two years, has a deep understanding of the company’s strategy and operations, which will be critical during this transition period.”

“On behalf of Angie’s List and its shareholders, I want to thank Bill for the many years of service, dedication and innovation he has provided to the company and wish him the best of luck as he moves onto his civic endeavors in a fulltime capacity,” continued Chuang.

“As COO, I have worked very closely with Bill and the management team and look forward to leading Angie’s List through the transition to its next CEO,” said Howell.  “The Company has a loyal, engaged member base, deep service provider relationships and a solid product pipeline. The team is eager to continue to grow our business.”

Mr. Howell, age 50, has served as the Company’s Chief Operating Officer since March, 2013. Prior to joining the Company, Mr. Howell worked at President of Ingram Micro Mobility, Americas, a provider of technology products who acquired Brightpoint, Inc. in 2012. From 1994 through 2012, Mr. Howell held various executive positions at Brightpoint, a supply chain services provider to the wireless industry, including President, Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer. Before joining Brightpoint, he was Corporate Controller for ADESA Corporation and an accountant with Ernst & Young LLP. Mr. Howell holds a Bachelor Degree in Business Administration from the University of Notre Dame.

“I have decided that now is the right time for me to step down as CEO in order to concentrate more fully on the civic issues that matter most to me,” said Oesterle. “I am very proud of what we have accomplished over 20 years and look forward to following the company’s progress in the future.”
