Glass Lewis Supports IUSA Directors and Proposals
(OMAHA, NE)—infoUSAÒ (NASDAQ: IUSA), Vinod Gupta, chief executive officer of infoUSA, the leading provider of proprietary business and consumer databases and sales leads, today issued the following statement:
In prior letters to you, I have pointed out reasons why, when you receive communications about our Company from activist hedge fund Dolphin Limited Partnership, you should be wary of the wolf in sheep’s clothing. As I have explained, although Dolphin claims to be a loyal shareholder with the best interests of all shareholders at heart, its actions — trading while in possession of confidential information, expressing interest in being bought out, selling off large blocks of stock — sharply indicate otherwise. Now, as even further evidence that communications to shareholders from Dolphin should be viewed with the highest skepticism, Dolphin is trumpeting a report from Glass Lewis, the proxy advisory firm, without telling you that the report actually recommends a vote in favor of directors and a stock plan that Dolphin is opposing.
Pointedly rejecting Dolphin’s attacks on two board nominees, Glass Lewis said that it did “not believe there are substantial issues for shareholder concern.” In addition, Glass Lewis was unpersuaded by Dolphin’s crusade against the proposed equity incentive plan. After a thorough review, Glass Lewis recommended that shareholders vote FOR the plan, stating that it “passed all of our tests and we did not find any reason for shareholders to object.”
“The report exposes the weakness of Dolphin’s attacks, and Dolphin’s attempt to spin it as a victory seems like an act of desperation,” Gupta said.
