Item 1.01.  Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Item 2.01.  Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

On July 19, 2010, Intersections Inc. (“Intersections”) and its wholly owned subsidiary, Screening International Holdings LLC (“Holdings”), entered into a membership interest purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Sterling Infosystems, Inc. (“Sterling”), pursuant to which Holdings sold, and Sterling acquired, 100% of the membership interests of Screening International LLC (“Screening”) for an aggregate purchase price of $15 million in cash, subject to customary closing adjustments.  Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, $1,750,000 of the purchase price will be held in an escrow account for a period of one year after the closing date to satisfy any claims by Sterling under the Purchase Agreement.

As part of the Purchase Agreement, Intersections and its subsidiaries agreed not to directly compete with the business of Screening for one year after the closing date; provided that such non-compete will not restrict Intersections’ ability to conduct transactions in the future with third parties, including its ability to sell to a competing business.  In addition, to ensure a smooth transition process, Intersections, Screening and Sterling entered into a Transition Services Agreement pursuant to which, among other things, Intersections agreed to provide Sterling certain consulting services related to the financial, accounting and tax matters of Screening and its subsidiaries for a period of ninety days after the closing date.

The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, covenants and indemnification provisions.  The transaction closed simultaneously with the entering into of the Purchase Agreement.  The foregoing description is a summary and is qualified by reference to the form of Purchase Agreement filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure

On July 22, 2010, Intersections issued a press release announcing the transaction.  A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.
