(1) | Description of the Plan | |
The following description of the infoUSA Inc. 401(k) Plan (the Plan) provides only general information. Participants should refer to the Plan document for a more complete description of the Plans provisions. |
(a) | General | ||
The Plan is a defined contribution plan covering employees of infoGROUP Inc. (the Company). Plan eligibility is the first of the month following 30-days of consecutive employment by the Company and attainment of age 21. Effective June 1, 2008, the Company changed its name from infoUSA Inc. to infoGROUP Inc. This did not have any impact to the operations of the Plan. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA). | |||
(b) | Administration | ||
The Plan is administered by the 401(k) Plan Committee. The Committee consists of members appointed by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company. The Committee is responsible for Plan administration, managing the Plans activities and reviewing and selecting the investment options offered under the Plan. | |||
(c) | Contributions | ||
Each year, participants may contribute up to 100% of their pretax annual compensation, as defined by the Plan, not to exceed limits set by the Secretary of the Treasury. Participants who have attained age 50 before the end of the calendar year are eligible to make catch-up contributions for that year. Participants may also contribute amounts representing rollovers from other qualified defined benefit or defined contribution plans. Participants direct the investment of their contributions into various investment options offered by the Plan. The Company makes matching contributions of 50% of the first 6% of participant contributions, which may be in the form of Company common stock or cash. | |||
(d) | Participant Accounts | ||
Each participants account is credited with the participants contribution, the Companys matching contribution, and an allocation of plan earnings based on balances in his or her account. All contributions, except Company matching contributions made in Company common stock, are directed by the participants into the various investment options offered. The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the participants vested account. For Company matching contributions made in Company common stock, participants may elect to transfer the value of the common stock to other investment options at any time. |
4
(e) | Vesting | ||
Participants are immediately vested in their elective contributions and rollover contributions plus actual earnings thereon. Vesting in the Companys matching contribution portion of their accounts is based on years of continuous service. Participants become vested in the Companys matching contribution according to the following schedule: |
Years of service: | Percent vested | |||
Less than 2 |
| % | ||
2 years but less than 3 |
25 | |||
3 years but less than 4 |
50 | |||
4 years but less than 5 |
75 | |||
5 years or more |
100 |
(f) | Participant Loans | ||
Participants may borrow from their accounts a minimum of $1,000 up to a maximum equal to the lesser of $50,000 or 50% of their account balance. These loans are secured by the balance in the participants account and bear interest at rates that range from 4.25% to 9.25% at December 31, 2008. Principal and interest are paid ratably through payroll deductions. Loans are considered in default 90 days following the last payment for the loan. At the time of default, they are considered a distribution of the Plan. Participant loans are recorded at amortized cost. | |||
(g) | Payment of Benefits | ||
Participants may receive a distribution equal to the vested value of their account upon death, disability, retirement, or termination of either the participants employment or the Plan. Participants may also receive distributions while employed by the Company in the event of a financial hardship or upon the attainment of age 59 1/2. Distributions may be made in the form of a lump-sum cash payment or periodic installments. | |||
(h) | Forfeitures | ||
Nonvested portions of terminated participants accounts are forfeited. At December 31, 2008 and 2007, forfeited nonvested accounts totaled $16,655 and $14,277, respectively. Forfeitures are applied against future Company contributions or for the payment of administrative expenses. During 2008, administrative expenses of $149,832 were paid from forfeited nonvested accounts. |
(2) | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | |
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed in the preparation of these financial statements: |
(a) | Basis of Presentation | ||
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. | |||
(b) | Use of Estimates | ||
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions that affect the |
5
reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and changes therein, and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The current economic environment has increased the degree of uncertainty inherent in those estimates and assumptions. | |||
(c) | Investment Valuation and Income Recognition | ||
The Plans investments are stated at fair value based on quoted market prices, if available. Shares of mutual funds are valued at quoted market prices, which represent the net asset value of shares held by the Plan at year-end. | |||
The Plan has fully benefit-responsive investment contracts held by the ABN AMRO Income Plus Fund Class A (the Fund), which is provided as a core investment option to the participants in the Plan. The Fund is a collective investment fund (or common collective trust) that invests primarily in guaranteed investment contracts, money market instruments, and separate account structures. ABN AMRO attempts to maintain the stability of the value of each unit in the Fund at approximately one dollar per unit. An investment contract is generally permitted to be valued at contract value, rather than fair value, to the extent it is fully benefit-responsive. The statements of net assets available for benefits presents the fair value of the investment in the collective trust as well as the adjustment of the investment in the collective trust from fair value to contract value relating to the investment contracts. The statement of changes in net assets available for benefits is prepared on a contract value basis. | |||
Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. | |||
In accordance with the policy of stating investments at fair value, changes in unrealized appreciation or depreciation are reflected in the statement of changes in net assets available for benefits. | |||
(d) | Participant Loans | ||
Participants loans are valued at their unpaid outstanding balances. | |||
(e) | Payment of Benefits | ||
Benefits are recorded when paid. | |||
(f) | Administrative Expenses | ||
The Plan is responsible for all administrative expenses; however, the Company may elect to pay administrative expenses directly or through forfeited nonvested accounts. | |||
(g) | Risks and Uncertainties | ||
The Plan invests in various investment securities. Investment securities are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate, market, and credit risks. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment securities will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect participants account balances and the amounts reported in the statements of net assets available for benefits. | |||
(h) | Concentrations of Investments | ||
Included in the Plans net assets available for benefits at December 31, 2008 and 2007 are investments in infoGROUP Inc. common stock amounting to $6,812,750 and $7,768,162, respectively, whose value could be subject to change based on market conditions. At December 31, 2008 and June 15, 2009, the market value per share of infoGROUP Inc. common stock was $4.74 and $5.55, respectively. The increase in market value would have the impact of increasing net |
6
appreciation in fair value of investments by approximately $1.2 million subsequent to the Plan year ended December 31, 2008. |
(3) | Investments | |
The following table represents the fair value of individual investments that exceed 5% of the Plans net assets at December 31, 2008 and 2007: |

(4) | Fair Value Measurements | |
The Plan adopted SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157) as of January 1, 2008. SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure of fair value measurements. SFAS 157 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described as follows: |
The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for investments measured at fair value: |

(5) | Plan Termination | |
Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the right under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and to terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA. In the event of Plan termination, participants would become 100% vested in their accounts. | ||
(6) | Tax Status | |
The Internal Revenue Service has determined and informed the Company by a letter dated April 17, 2009 that the Plan and related trust are designed in accordance with applicable sections of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC). The plan administrator believes that the Plan is designed and is currently being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the IRC. | ||
(7) | Related-Party Transactions | |
First National Bank of Omaha is the custodian and record-keeper of the Plan. Fees paid by the Plan for custodial and record-keeping services amounted to $128,098 for the year ended December 31, 2008. | ||
At December 31, 2008 and 2007, the Plan held 1,437,289 and 869,895 shares, respectively, of infoGROUP Inc. common stock with a fair value of $6,812,750 and $7,768,162, respectively.
