INTERSECTIONS INC. (NASDAQ:INTX) Files An 8-K Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities

Item 2.05. Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal
Activities
.

On November 30, 2016, the Board of Directors of Intersections
Inc. (the “Company”) approved the closure of the Company’s Pet
Health Monitoring segment, known as Voyce, effective immediately.
As a result of the closure, the Company currently estimates that
it will incur cash costs related to the shutdown of between $2.0
and $2.5 million, a substantial portion of which will be
severance and employee-related costs. The Company expects these
costs to be paid over the next six months. In addition, the
Company currently expects to record a pre-tax non-cash impairment
charge, for long-lived asset impairments including inventory and
fixed assets, up to $7.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2016.
This non-cash impairment charge will not impact the Company’s
future cash flow, liquidity, compliance with its debt covenants
or any future operations, and will not result in any future cash
expenditures.
The Company may incur additional costs or charges related to the
actions described above. Although the Company cannot currently
predict the amount or timing of these other charges at this time,
these additional costs or charges could be material. To the
extent required by applicable rules of the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), in the event the Company
determines that it will have additional costs or charges
associated with the shutdown, it will file one or more amendments
to this Current Report on Form 8-K and/or include such
disclosures in future Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q or its
Annual Report on Form 10-K.
