| Item 2.02. | Results of Operations and Financial Condition. |
On November 15, 2010, Interactive Data Corporation (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing its results of operation for the third quarter 2010.
On November 5, 2010, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, entered an order approving the settlement and dismissal with prejudice of the stockholder class action litigation described in the Company’s current reports on Form 8-K filed on May 7, May 19, June 17 and July 6, 2010, respectively. The settlement and dismissal was in accordance with the terms as set forth in the June 29, 2010 memorandum of understanding (which memorandum of understanding is further described in the Company’s current report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on July 6). The settlement and dismissal with prejudice resolves all of the class claims that were or could have been brought in the litigation, including all class claims relating to the July 29, 2010 merger transaction (other than claims for appraisal under Section 262 of the Delaware General Corporation Law). As part of the settlement and dismissal with prejudice, the Company will pay plaintiffs’ counsel the amount of $612,500 for its fees and expenses in the action. This payment is due on or before November 19. The settlement does not affect the merger consideration paid to the Company’s stockholders.
