Item 2.01. Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

On June 22, 2011, InfoSpace, Inc. (“InfoSpace”) completed the sale of its Mercantila e-commerce business to Zoo Stores, Inc. (“Zoo Stores”), pursuant to the terms of the LLC Interest Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) executed by the parties on June 10, 2011. As a result of this transaction, Zoo Stores acquired 100% of the membership interests in Mercantila Acquisition LLC (“Mercantila”), the former InfoSpace subsidiary that owns and runs the Mercantila e-commerce business.

Nikhil Behl, who prior to the closing of the transaction was a Named Executive Officer of InfoSpace, owns a majority interest in Zoo Stores. Mr. Behl will continue to serve as Chief Executive Officer of Mercantila and has ceased to be an officer of, or otherwise affiliated with, InfoSpace as of the closing of the transaction.

As consideration for the acquisition of Mercantila, Zoo Stores paid InfoSpace a nominal upfront payment and has a continuing obligation to pay up to $3,000,000 more, contingent on liquidity or other events. The nature and amount of this consideration was determined by InfoSpace after considering other options for the sale of all or some of Mercantila’s assets and the potential costs associated with a shutdown of the business.

The foregoing description is a summary, does not purport to be a complete description of the Agreement, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers

On June 22, 2011, InfoSpace and Nikhil Behl, Chief Executive Officer of Mercantila, entered into a Termination and Waiver agreement that modifies Mr. Behl’s employment agreement (a copy of which was attached as Exhibit 10.1 to the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed by InfoSpace on August 4, 2010). The Termination and Waiver, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference, was executed in connection with the closing of the transaction described above, and clarifies that Mr. Behl’s employment by InfoSpace terminated upon the closing of the transaction and that Mr. Behl will not be entitled to any separation benefits provided for in his employment agreement.

The foregoing description is a summary, does not purport to be a complete description of the Termination and Waiver, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Termination and Waiver, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
