Local.com® Acquires Location-Based Shopping Data Company

Local.com Corporation (NASDAQ: LOCM), a leading online local media company, today announced the acquisition of Krillion, Inc. (www.krillion.com), a leading provider of location-based product search that connects online shoppers with products available in stores locally, with current discount, pricing and product information.

Krillion aggregates and matches consumer product information from multiple retailer websites and data feeds to create an up-to-the-minute structured index of over 70,000 products across consumer categories including appliances, baby gear, consumer electronics, computers, tools, video games and home & garden. The data index includes over 1,200 brands from over 50,000 retail locations across the U.S. and incorporates product images, current pricing, manufacturer or retailer discounts and real-time in-stock information.

According to Forrester Research nearly half of retail sales are “web-influenced,” and these web-influenced retail sales are expected to reach $1.2 trillion by the end of 2012.

Krillion provides:

• The Krillion Localization Engine™, a powerful, patent-pending dynamic local product search platform which connects customers with in-stock products at local retailers
• StockCheck™, a real-time tool that enables web-savvy shoppers to quickly find, compare and buy products located physically nearby
• A dynamic product pricing and discounts alert engine
• The ability for consumers to take advantage of in-store pickup and other convenience services offered by multichannel retailers
• Local product information that is available as a data service that powers the websites and applications of manufacturers, publishers, mobile providers and rich media advertising for marketers

“Local product search is a natural fit for our business model and our key ‘soccer mom’ demographic,” said Raj Mohan, Local.com senior vice president and general manager, owned & operated. “Krillion provides us with highly valuable local shopping content that we intend to deploy across our business in order to differentiate our various products to our end users, customers and business partners.”

The company plans to utilize Krillion’s product, pricing and discounts data in the following ways:

• O&O: On the Local.com site as well as the company’s future retail verticals
• Network: Syndication of shopping data to the Network business unit, which includes over 1,400 regional media publishers’ websites
• Rovion: Distribution of geo-targeted, hyper-local interactive shopping data via rich media ads that can be distributed across third-party networks such as Yahoo!, AOL & DoubleClick
• OCTANE360: Distribution of data across new, geo-targeted shopping sites powered by the platform, which currently hosts over 100,000 geo-category websites
• Spreebird: Integration of real-time discounts from retailers nationwide onto the Spreebird site and via emails to Spreebird subscribers
• Mobile: Via mobile shopping apps for iPhone®, Android™ and Blackberry® smartphones and tablets

Krillion will be integrated with the company’s Owned & Operated business unit. Sherry Thomas-Zon, Krillion’s CEO, will become Local.com’s vice president, local shopping.

“The Krillion team is excited to join the Local.com family. We have built the leading platform to bring real-time shopping data from retailers to online consumers shopping for products and services locally,” said Thomas-Zon. “Our business is an excellent fit with the media platform Local.com has built. We look forward to integrating Krillion across the Local.com ecosystem.”

Under the terms of the agreement, Local.com acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Krillion for $3.5 million in cash. Founded in 2006 and based in Mountain View, Calif., Krillion will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Local.com with offices in Mountain View. Morgan Joseph served as advisors to the company on the transaction.
