Other Events

On October 31, 2018, Intersections Inc. (the “Company”) announced that it had entered into an
Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with WC SACD One Parent, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”) and WC SACD One Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation
(“Merger Sub”) and wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent, pursuant to which, among other things, subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub has agreed to make a cash tender offer (the “Offer”) to purchase all of the
outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock, par value $0.01 (the “Shares”), at a purchase price of $3.68 per Share in cash, other than certain shares held by certain affiliates of the Company. Parent and Merger Sub are affiliates of WC
SACD One, Inc., a joint venture formed by iSubscribed, WndrCo Holdings, LLC and certain General Catalyst funds. A copy of the press release is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by
reference.
Notice to Investors and Security Holders
The Offer referred to in this Current Report on Form 8-K has not yet commenced. This filing, the attached exhibits and the description contained in this
Current Report on Form 8-K is neither an offer to purchase nor a solicitation of an offer to sell any securities. The solicitation and the offer to buy the Shares will be made only pursuant to a Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO, including an
offer to purchase, a letter of transmittal and other related materials that Merger Sub and Parent intend to file with the SEC. In addition, the Company will file with the SEC a Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9 with respect to
the Offer and a Transaction Statement on Schedule 13E-3 with respect to the transaction contemplated by the Merger Agreement. The Tender Offer Statement (including an offer to purchase, a related letter of transmittal and other offer documents),
the Solicitation/Recommendation Statement and the Transaction Statement will contain important information that should be read carefully and considered before any decision is made with respect to the Offer. Additionally, the Company, Merger Sub and
Parent will file other relevant materials in connection with the proposed acquisition of the Company by Parent pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement. The Company, Merger Sub and Parent intend to mail these documents to the stockholders of
the Company. All of the tender offer materials (and all other materials filed by the Company with the SEC) will also be available free of charge from the SEC through its website at www.sec.gov. INVESTORS AND STOCKHOLDERS OF THE COMPANY ARE ADVISED
TO READ THE SCHEDULE TO, THE SCHEDULE 14D-9 AND THE SCHEDULE 13E-3, INCLUDING THE SOLICITATION/RECOMMENDATION STATEMENT OF THE COMPANY, AS EACH MAY BE AMENDED OR SUPPLEMENTED FROM TIME TO TIME, AS WELL AS ANY OTHER RELEVANT DOCUMENTS FILED WITH THE
SEC WHEN THEY BECOME AVAILABLE CAREFULLY AND IN THEIR ENTIRETY PRIOR TO MAKING ANY DECISIONS WITH RESPECT TO THE OFFER, MERGER OR WHETHER TO TENDER THEIR SHARES PURSUANT TO THE OFFER, BECAUSE THEY WILL CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE
PROPOSED TRANSACTION (INCLUDING THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE OFFER) AND THE PARTIES THERETO.
Forward Looking Statements
This communication contains forward-looking statements in addition to historical information. When used in this communication, the words “can,” “will,”
“intends,” “expects,” “believes,” similar expressions and any other statements that are not historical facts are intended to identify those assertions as forward-looking statements. All statements that address activities, events or developments
that the Company, iSubscribed, General Catalyst and/or WndrCo intend, expect or believe may occur in the future are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements may relate to such matters as business strategy, goals and expectations
concerning the acquisition (including the anticipated timing of consummation of the acquisition), future operations, future performance or results. The following are some of the factors that could cause actual future results to differ materially
from those expressed in any forward looking statements: (i) uncertainties as to the timing of the Offer and the subsequent merger; (ii) the risk that the Offer or the subsequent merger may not be completed in a timely manner or at all; (iii)
uncertainties as to the percentage of the Company stockholders tendering their Shares in the Offer; (iv) the possibility that competing offers or acquisition proposals for the Company will be made; (v) the possibility that any or all of the various
conditions to the consummation of the Offer or the subsequent merger may not be satisfied or waived, including the failure to receive a tender of majority of the shares held by unaffiliated stockholders of the Company; (vi) the occurrence of any
event, change or other circumstance that could give rise to the termination of the Merger Agreement, including in circumstances which would require the Company to pay a termination fee or other expenses; (vii) the effect of the announcement or
pendency of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement on the Company’s ability to retain and hire key personnel, its ability to maintain relationships with its customers, suppliers and others with whom it does business, or its operating
results and business generally; (viii) risks related to diverting management’s attention from the Company’s ongoing business operations; (ix) the risk that stockholder litigation in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement may result in significant costs of defense, indemnification and liability and (x) other factors as set forth from time to time in the Company’s
filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including its Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017 and any subsequently filed Form 10-Qs. Any forward-looking statements made by the Company, iSubscribed, WndrCo or General
Catalyst in this communication speak only as of the date hereof. Factors or events that affect the transactions or could cause the Company’s actual results to differ may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for the Company, iSubscribed,
WndrCo or General Catalyst to predict all of them. None of the Company, iSubscribed, WndrCo or General Catalyst undertake any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future
developments or otherwise, except as may be required by any applicable securities laws.
