infoUSA Declares Cash Dividend of $0.20 per Share

(OMAHA, NE) — The Board of Directors of infoUSA^Ò (Nasdaq: IUSA) today declared a cash dividend of 20 cents per common share, the first cash dividend ever declared by infoUSA. The dividend is payable on March 1, 2005, to shareholders of record as of the close of business on February 8, 2005. As of December 31, 2004, the end of the Company’s fiscal year, the Company had 53,177,737 shares outstanding.

Vin Gupta, Chairman and CEO, infoUSA, said “We have used the strong cash flow generated by our business to reduce our leverage and make acquisitions. We expect to have more than adequate liquidity to meet the needs of the business for the foreseeable future, and plan to continue de-leveraging our balance sheet. At the same time, our strong cash flow enables us to share some of the financial return directly with our shareholders, who will be able to take advantage of lower tax rates. We also anticipate that this action will potentially attract new investors to our company.”
