WHITING, Ind., Oct. 20, 2011 /PRNewswire/ — CouponCabin.com, a leading online
destination for coupons, announced that it has received a $54 million strategic
growth investment led by JMI Equity, a growth equity firm focused on investments

The main differentiators of CouponCabin include the site’s stringent coupon
testing policies and a commitment to providing a one-stop-shop for savings and
exclusive coupon content. The CouponCabin team works directly with its retail
merchants to secure its coupon codes and deals, many of which are only available

coupons and has grown to more than 3,500 stores and 100,000 offers in 2011.
“We are thrilled to continue our rapid growth with the support of such a
well-respected and experienced firm like JMI Equity,” said CouponCabin Founder
and CEO Scott Kluth. “Among other initiatives, this investment will enable us to
grow our local, grocery and printable coupon offerings, making us the deepest
and broadest consumer destination for coupons on the web. This investment will
also help us better engage with more than one million fans on Facebook. We look
forward to a successful relationship with JMI Equity and the benefits its
industry expertise will afford CouponCabin.”
As part of this partnership, a Board of Directors has been formed including Mr.
Kluth, Brad Woloson, General Partner at JMI Equity and Chip Hardt, former
Principal at McKinsey & Company.

and we believe CouponCabin has the potential to be the leader in the broader
coupon market, not just in the online code segment,” said Mr. Woloson.

quality coupons that are guaranteed to work. By continuing to add more retailers
