Resignation of Director

On October 2, 2008, Nicholas (Nick) F. Graziano, a member of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of InfoSpace, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company” or the “Registrant”), informed the Company in writing that he will be resigning his position as a member of the Company’s Board, effective immediately. In his letter of resignation, Mr. Graziano indicated that he was not resigning as the result of any disagreement. Rather, Mr. Graziano noted that both the Board and management are very capable and have a clear strategy going forward that accurately reflects the best interests of shareholders. Mr. Graziano stated that the restructuring efforts undertaken by the Board since his appointment are largely complete, and accordingly that he felt this was an appropriate time for him to resign.

Mr. Graziano was initially elected to the Board on May 2, 2007, pursuant to an agreement between the Company and certain Company stockholders affiliated with Sandell Asset Management Corp., and, during his tenure on the Board, has served as a member of the Audit Committee of the Board.
