leading provider of Internet yellow pages and related services, announced that
John J. Langdon, former CEO of Bestfoods Baking Co., has joined the company's
board of directors and will oversee the formation of YP.Net's Audit committee.

Mr. Langdon was president and CEO of Bestfoods Baking Co., which was a division

(NYSE:CPC - News) was a publicly traded $10 billion a year food and consumer

products company. Bestfoods Baking was about a $2 billion a year company at the
time of the merger. Under Mr. Langdon's leadership, Bestfoods Baking was one of
Bestfoods Corp.'s fastest growing divisions through both organic growth and
acquisitions.

"We're extremely pleased to have someone of Mr. Langdon's experience and
reputation join the board of YP.Net," said YP.Net president and CEO Angelo Tullo
in announcing Langdon's election. "His experience as CEO of a corporation with
more than $2 billion in annual sales, his experience in dealing with the outside
auditors of national accounting firms as well as with a large public company
board will add some depth, experience and additional objectivity that will be
important assets as YP.Net moves forward."

For his part, Mr. Langdon said he was very impressed with the quality of the
management at YP.Net. "I'm looking forward to it," Mr. Langdon said of his
appointment.

Mr. Langdon also brings extensive experience in branding to YP.Net, having
worked in the extremely brand conscious baked goods industry for more than 30
years. As CEO of Bestfoods Baking, Mr. Langdon was responsible for such
nationally known brands as Entenmann's pastries, Oroweat breads and rolls,
Thomas's English muffins and Boboli baked goods.

"Branding is increasingly important in the next phase of YP.Net's aggressive
growth strategy," said Tullo. Mr. Langdon added, "As we continue to improve our
online yellow pages technically and in terms of customer care, we need to
increase our efforts to set ourselves apart in the minds of users and
advertisers. I expect to add value in this area."

After serving in the United States Marine Corps, Mr. Langdon began his business
career in sales at Warner Lambert Co. in 1962. He joined Sara Lee Corp. in 1968
and in 1982 he became general manager at Entenmann's in Florida and New York. In
1983, after Entenmann's was acquired by General Foods Corp., he became senior
vice president responsible for all Entenmann's operations. In 1992 he became
president of CPC International's Bestfoods Baking Group. He was named president
and COO of CPC Baking Business in 1995 and CEO of the business in 1997.

As an executive, Langdon was known for stressing quality products, having
leading brands and developing outstanding people. In 1998, Mr. Langdon told a
trade magazine that he looked for people with fire in their belly. "We look for
people who will reach for aggressive goals and go out an have some emotion about
the business," he told the reporter.

On being told of the remark, Tullo commented: "He's definitely come to the right
place."
