ITEM 2.  ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS

         On January 24, 2001, InsWeb Corporation ("InsWeb") acquired from Intuit
Inc. ("Intuit"), certain assets and related liabilities (the "Acquired Assets")
associated with an online insurance shopping and purchasing service operated by
Intuit Insurance Services, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Intuit ("IIS"). In
connection with the acquisition of the Acquired Assets, InsWeb and Intuit
entered into a License and Distribution Agreement (the "Distribution
Agreement"), pursuant to which, among other things, Intuit and InsWeb have
granted one another licenses to create links between their respective websites
in order to create and operate a Co-Branded Insurance Center. The Distribution
Agreement also provides that InsWeb will be the exclusive aggregator of online
consumer insurance services for Quicken.com, an Intuit website, and that subject
to certain minimums, Intuit will share in associated revenues. Intuit is the
leading provider of financial software and web-based financial services for
consumers and small businesses.

         In connection with the acquisition of the Acquired Assets, InsWeb
issued to Intuit shares of InsWeb common stock constituting approximately 16.6%
of the outstanding shares of common stock of InsWeb after the completion of the
acquisition. The shares issued to Intuit are valued at approximately $11.4
million based on the closing price of the common stock of InsWeb on January 24,
2001. The consideration paid by InsWeb for the Acquired Assets was determined
through arms' length negotiation between the parties.

         InsWeb, Intuit, IIS, and certain existing InsWeb investors also entered
into a Fourth Amended and Restated Investor Rights Agreement (the "Restated
Rights Agreement"), providing for, among other things, the election of one
representative of Intuit to the board of directors of InsWeb, certain
restrictions on future acquisitions, dispositions, and voting of InsWeb common
stock by Intuit, and certain registration rights in favor of Intuit.

         Additional information regarding the terms of the transaction is
included in the Purchase Agreement, Distribution Agreement, and Restated Rights
Agreement, which are incorporated herein by reference and attached hereto as
Exhibits 2.1, 2.2, and 2.3, respectively.
