Item 2.05   Costs Associated With Exit Or Disposition Activities.
 
On March 10, 2014, Intersections Inc. (the “Company”) made the determination to cease ongoing operations at its subsidiary, Intersections Business Intelligence Services (DBA Zumetrics).  These operations are expected to wind down and cease during the three months ending June 30, 2014.  The Company plans to classify Zumetrics as a discontinued operation at the time it meets the requirements under U.S. GAAP and thereafter will no longer have a Market Intelligence segment.
 
The Company further expects that it will record expenses of approximately $1 million to $1.3 million, before income taxes, in its second quarter 2014 operating results. These expenses include non-cash expenses of approximately $1 million for the acceleration of depreciation on long-lived assets, as well as cash charges associated with one-time employee severance benefits and lease obligations.
