Item 7.01.    Regulation FD Disclosure
 
On June 10, 2011, InfoSpace, Inc. ("InfoSpace") executed a definitive agreement (the "Agreement") to sell its Mercantila e-commerce business to Zoo Stores, Inc. ("Zoo Stores"). Under the terms of the Agreement, which is subject to certain closing conditions, Zoo Stores will acquire (the "Acquisition") 100% of the membership interests in Mercantila Acquisition LLC ("Mercantila"). As consideration for the Acquisition, Zoo Stores will pay InfoSpace a nominal upfront payment, plus the right to receive additional consideration up to $3,000,000, contingent on liquidity or other events.

InfoSpace's management no longer believes that the Mercantila business fits within InfoSpace's strategy as it moves forward. As a result, while the net loss from operating the Mercantila business continues to improve, InfoSpace's management believes this transaction is the best outcome for shareholder value. In the event that the Acquisition does not close, or the Agreement is otherwise terminated, InfoSpace will either seek to sell Mercantila to another buyer or will close Mercantila's operations.
