IRVINE, CA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 03/08/07 -- Local.com Corporation (NASDAQ: LOCM), a leading local search engine, today announced that it has terminated its Letter of Intent dated January 22, 2007, to acquire soUno Directional Media Solutions, LLC.

The Letter of Intent was not binding and any potential acquisition was subject to the completion of due diligence, negotiation and execution of a definitive agreement, approval by Local.com shareholders, as well as customary closing conditions.

"Local.com has made great progress in the past two months, signing deals with three major media and technology companies. Each of these is a significant achievement for Local.com, and we expect to announce more deals in due course," said Heath Clarke, Local.com CEO.

Local.com launched its first local ad product, LocalPromote, in October 2006 and reported over 350 advertisers by the end of the quarter.

"With limited test marketing we have acquired over 600 local advertisers to-date. We are encouraged by the progress we have made during our testing phase, and are positioning ourselves for a significant launch of our local ad products during the second quarter," said Clarke.

Local.com will focus resources and capital in the near-term to develop the company's organic growth capabilities, as well as develop partnership and business relationships with other leading media companies.

"We are continually refining our ad products, ad delivery systems, search engine marketing and advertiser acquisition strategies," Clarke added. "Based on thorough due diligence and analysis, it became clear to us that at this time it is in the best interests of our company and shareholders to invest our capital into our own advertiser acquisition capabilities."

Local.com intends to work with soUno in order to capitalize on areas of mutual benefit and continues to look for acquisition opportunities.

There are no breakup fees associated with the termination.
