Three-year revenue growth over 1,200 percent earns company No. 57 spot

SEATTLE—October 28, 2005

WhitePages.com, Inc. the leading provider of free online residential directory assistance services, today announced it has been recognized by Inc. Magazine as one of the fastest growing 500 private companies in the United States. Based on overall growth during a period of three years, WhitePages.com earned the number 57 spot with over 1,200 percent growth.

"We are excited to be included on the Inc. 500 list for the first time," said Max Bardon, president and CEO of WhitePages.com. "Placing in the top 100 on this highly competitive list of private U.S. companies is a testament to the strength of our vision, and our dedication to meeting the needs of our customers and partners. That vision will continue to remain solid as we strengthen our position as the leading destination for the most accurate, free, online contact information."

The Inc. 500 ranks privately held companies according to year-over-year sales growth from 2001 to 2004. With approximately 75 percent of all new job creation in the U.S. coming from entrepreneurial businesses, the Inc. 500 opens a window onto the companies and industries that are driving the economy forward. In the last year, WhitePages.com added 38 new jobs in their Seattle and New York offices.

"When you look at the amazing job growth among Inc. 500 companies and contrast it with the stagnation in the Fortune 500, it underscores the changing nature of our economy," said Jim Melloan, project manager for the Inc. 500. "With unprecedented global competition, companies have to be able to turn on a dime and discover innovative new ways of doing business. Increasingly, it's the smaller, agile companies like those on the Inc. 500 that are best equipped to meet these challenges."

The Inc. 500 list will appear in a special issue, scheduled to hit newsstands November 1.
