Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On September 15, 2007, InfoSpace, Inc. (“InfoSpace”) entered into a definitive Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Idearc Inc. (“Idearc”). The Purchase Agreement provides that Idearc will purchase certain assets and liabilities relating to InfoSpace’s online directory business, including its online yellow and white pages services (collectively, the “Directory Business”) for total consideration of $225,000,000 in cash, subject to certain purchase price adjustments and the other terms and conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement (the “Transaction”). In addition, InfoSpace and Idearc will enter into several ancillary agreements, including a transition services agreement, license agreements, a directory services agreement, a hosting and co-location agreement, a real property sublease and certain other agreements in connection with the Transaction.

The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, as well as covenants by each of the parties thereto, and indemnification provisions whereby each party agrees to indemnify the other for breaches of representations, warranties and covenants and certain other matters. In addition, the Purchase Agreement provides that InfoSpace will not launch a directory site that is equivalent to “switchboard.com” on a worldwide basis for a period of five years following the closing of the Transaction.

The Transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, including, but not limited to, (i) the receipt of required regulatory approvals, (ii) the receipt of specified third party consents and (iii) the expiration or termination of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976.

The foregoing summary of the Purchase Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the Purchase Agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
