OMAHA, Neb., Oct 20, 2009 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- IUSA | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- infoGROUP Inc. (NASDAQ: IUSA | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating) announced today that it has reached an agreement in principle to resolve an investigation by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

The SEC Commissioners must still approve the agreement, which was reached with the Denver Regional Office of the SEC, and thus the terms are not final. The Company first announced the investigation on November 20, 2007.

Under the proposed agreement, the Company would not admit or deny liability. The Company would agree to entry of a cease and desist order that it not violate Sections 13(a), 13(b) and 14(a) of the Securities Act of 1934 and related rules requiring that periodic filings be accurate, that accurate books and records and a system of internal accounting controls be maintained and that solicitations of proxies comply with the securities laws. The proposed agreement does not require the payment of any financial penalty by the Company.

Bill Fairfield, the Company's Chief Executive Officer, stated that "We are pleased that this matter is on its way to resolution and that the Denver Regional Office of the SEC appears to have recognized the high level of our cooperation and the numerous remedial measures which our new Board of Directors and management have put into place."

infoGROUP understands that the SEC will continue its investigations of certain persons who began serving as directors and/or officers of the Company prior to 2005. Under Delaware law, where the Company is incorporated, the Company may have future obligations to indemnify those individuals for expenses in connection with those investigations and to advance funds to the individuals for those expenses.
