Item 2.01                                             Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

On December 16, 2010, at a special meeting of the stockholders of Internet Brands, Inc.

The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement and related transactions does not purport to be complete and is subject, and qualified in its entirety by reference, to the full text of the Merger Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit 2.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on September 22, 2010, and which is incorporated herein by reference.

NASDAQ will file with the SEC a Notification of Removal from Listing and/or Registration under Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), on Form 25, thereby commencing the process of delisting and deregistering the Company’s Class A Common Stock.  The Company expects its Class A Common Stock to be delisted as of the close of trading on December 17, 2010.  The Company intends to file a Form 15 to suspend its reporting obligations under Section 13(a) and 15(d) of the Exchange Act as soon as practicable.
