SEATTLE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May. 3, 2012--
Marchex, Inc. (NASDAQ:MCHX) today announced Russell C. Horowitz, Chairman and CEO, Michael Arends, Chief Financial Officer, John Keister, Executive Vice Chairman and Ethan Caldwell, General Counsel and Chief Administrative Officer, intend to purchase shares of the Company’s Class B common stock in open market transactions over the balance of the year. Mr. Horowitz intends to purchase up to an aggregate total of $1 million worth of the Company’s Class B common stock and the other executive officers intend to purchase shares in varying amounts.
“We believe
Marchex has a unique position and opportunity in the mobile performance and call advertising market,” said Mr. Horowitz. “While this market is early, we believe Marchex is well positioned by virtue of our technology platform, intellectual property, customers and people to become a leader in this large and growing market. When we look at these areas of strength, along with our strong asset base, we believe the current market price does not reflect the underlying value of Marchex’s assets and opportunity.”
