On June 30, 2009, Julius Genachowski tendered his resignation from the Board of Directors (the “Board of Directors”) of Web.com Group, Inc. (the “Company”) and from all committees thereof, effective June 30, 2009 (the “Effective Date”).  Mr. Genachowski served on the Audit Committee, Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, and was the Chairman of the Compensation Committee.  Mr. Genachowski’s resignation is not the result of any disagreement with the Company or any matter relating to the Company’s operations, policies, or practices.  Rather, Mr. Genachowski’s resignation is a result of his nomination by President Obama for the chairmanship of the Federal Communications Commission and confirmation by the U.S. Senate.

Effective upon the Effective Date, the Board of Directors, pursuant to its authority under the Company’s Bylaws, has reduced the size of the Company’s Board of Directors to six (6) members and appointed Hugh M. Durden Chairman of the Compensation Committee.
