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.

Pursuant
to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has
