Item 8.01 Other Events

On December 30, 2004, EDGAR Online, Inc. (the "Company") entered into a
settlement agreement which concluded a lawsuit commenced by the Company entitled
EDGAR Online, Inc. and Financial Insight Systems, Inc. v. Albert E. Girod and
Kristine Delta, C.A. No. 1560-K, Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware,
Kent County. The Company initiated the lawsuit against Albert Girod, its former
chief technology officer, executive vice president and director, and Kristine
Delta, its former vice president, based on certain claims that arose out of the
purchase by the Company of Financial Insight Systems, Inc. ("FIS") in October
2000. The Company sought compensatory damages and/or restitution for defendants'
alleged fraud, unjust enrichment, breach of fiduciary duty, breach of contract
and other actions that occurred in connection with the acquisition of FIS.

The Company settled the lawsuit in exchange for all of the shares of common
stock currently held by Mr. Girod and one-third of the shares of common stock
currently held by Ms. Delta. Specifically, Mr. Girod will transfer 962,375
shares to the Company and Ms. Delta will transfer 12,500 shares to the Company.
These shares will be returned to the Company's treasury. As a result, the number
of the Company's outstanding shares of common stock will be reduced to
21,470,416 shares. The Company and Mr. Girod have also agreed not to disparage
each other pursuant to the Settlement Agreement.
