AMENDMENT NO. 2 TO SCHEDULE TO
     This Amendment No. 2 amends and/or supplements the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO filed on July 23, 2007, by infoUSA Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Knickerbocker Acquisition Corp. (the “Purchaser”), a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, as amended by Amendment No. 1, filed on August 20, 2007 (collectively, the “Schedule TO”). The Schedule TO relates to the offer by Purchaser to purchase all outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, and all outstanding shares of Series A preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Shares”), of Guideline, Inc., a New York corporation (“Guideline”), at a purchase price of $1.35 per share of common stock, and $1.50 per share of Series A preferred stock, plus accrued dividends thereon, in each case net to the seller in cash, without interest thereon, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase dated July 23, 2007 (the “Offer to Purchase”), and in the related Letter of Transmittal (which, together with any supplements or amendments thereto, collectively constitute the “Offer”), copies of which are attached as Exhibits (a)(1)(A) and (a)(1)(B) to the Schedule TO. The item numbers and responses thereto below are in accordance with the requirements of Schedule TO. Capitalized terms used and not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Offer to Purchase or in the Schedule TO.
Items 1, 4, 8 and 11. Summary Term Sheet; Terms of the Transaction; Interest in Securities of the Subject Company; Additional Information
Items 1, 4, 8 and 11 of the Schedule TO are hereby amended and supplemented as follows:
“At 12:00 midnight EDT at the end of Wednesday, August 22, 2007, the subsequent offering period expired. As of the expiration of the subsequent offering period, an additional 1,704,097 shares of Common Stock had been validly tendered, resulting in the ownership by Purchaser of an aggregate of 21,267,898 shares of Common Stock, or 94.4% of all shares of Common Stock outstanding, as well as all shares of Preferred Stock.
As a result of Purchaser’s acquisition of the Shares pursuant to the Offer and the subsequent offering period, Purchaser owns more than 90% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock and the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock, and the Company is therefore entitled to and intends to promptly cause Purchaser to merge with and into Guideline without a meeting of the shareholders of Guideline in accordance with New York’s “short-form” merger statute. As a result of the merger, each remaining outstanding share of Guideline common stock, other than shares held by Guideline shareholders who perfect their rights to appraisal in accordance with New York law, will be converted into the right to receive $1.35 per share, in cash, without interest. Shares held by shareholders who perfect their appraisal rights will represent only the right to receive the amount awarded in the appraisal, or, if such demand for appraisal is withdrawn or forfeited, $1.35 per share of Common Stock, in cash, without interest. As a result of the merger, Guideline, the surviving corporation in the merger, will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.”
A copy of the August 23, 2007, press release issued by the Company announcing the expiration of the subsequent offering period and the expected completion of the Merger is attached as Exhibit (a)(3) hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.
