“The summary and chronology of the background of the Offer set forth in “ITEM 4. THE SOLICITATION OR RECOMMENDATION—(b) Background of the Offer and the Merger” in the Schedule14D-9 filed by the Company, as may be amended from time to time, is incorporated herein by reference.”
ITEM 15. | ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. |
Item 15of the Schedule13E-3 is hereby restated in its entirety as follows:
“All of the information in the Tender Offer Statement, as may be amended from time to time, and the Schedule14D-9, as may be amended from time to time, including all schedules and annexes thereto, is expressly incorporated by reference in answer to Item 15 of this Schedule13E-3.
(c)Other material information. On December 11, 2018, a putative class action captionedFranchi v. Intersections Inc. et al.,C.A. No.1:18-cv-01957-UNA (the “Action”) was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware against the Company, members of the Company Board, Parent and Purchaser. The complaint alleges that the Schedule14D-9 omits material information with respect to the proposed transaction, which renders the Schedule14D-9 false and misleading, and that defendants violated Sections 14(e), 14(d), and 20(a) of the Exchange Act in connection with the Schedule14D-9. Among other things, the complaint seeks to enjoin defendants from proceeding with the proposed transaction, or in the event defendants consummate the proposed transaction, rescind it and set it aside or award the plaintiff rescissory damages, and award costs, including attorneys’ and experts’ fees.
The defendants believe that the claims asserted in the Action are without merit and no supplemental disclosure is required under applicable law. To the contrary, the defendants specifically deny all allegations in the Action. However, on December 21, 2018, in order to avoid the risk of adverse effect or delay in connection with the transaction and to minimize the costs, risks and uncertainties inherent in litigation, and without admitting any liability or wrongdoing, the defendants entered into an agreement in principle with plaintiff that is expected to be memorialized in a memorandum of understanding (the “MOU”) memorializing the parties’ agreement to settle the Action. Under the terms of the proposed MOU, the plaintiff has agreed to voluntarily dismiss with prejudice the individual claims asserted in the Action, and dismiss without prejudice claims asserted in the Action on behalf of a putative class of the Company’s stockholders, and to undertake all steps, including the preparation and filing of documents, stipulations or other papers deemed necessary to effectuate dismissal of the Action. In connection with the settlement, plaintiff intends to seek an award of attorneys’ fees and reimbursement of expenses.
In connection with the settlement, the defendants also agreed to make certain disclosures related to the Offer and the Merger that are supplemental to the disclosures set forth in the Schedule14D-9 (the “Supplemental Disclosures”). The Supplemental Disclosures include disclosures that address plaintiff’s allegations and claims that the Schedule14D-9 was false and misleading and were made solely to avoid the costs and burdens of litigation, and without admitting any liability or wrongdoing.
