Item 1.01.  Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
 
On December 21, 2011, Internet Patents Corporation (formerly, InsWeb Corporation), a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), entered into a First Lease Amendment (the “Amendment”) to an Office Lease, dated December 10, 2010 (the “Original Lease”), with MSCP Capital Center Investors, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Landlord”), for approximately 16,199 square feet of office space in Rancho Cordova, California, that houses the Company’s headquarters. The Amendment, which was executed in connection with the sale of substantially all of the Company’s  assets, as described in Item 2.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, requires the Company to provide the Landlord with a security deposit in the amount of $1,000,000, which will be replaced by a standby Letter of Credit on or before January 31, 2012.  The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by the terms of the Amendment attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.26.

Item 2.01.  Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
 
On December 21, 2011, the Company completed the previously announced sale of substantially all of its assets (the “Asset Sale”) relating to its insurance lead generation and marketing business to Bankrate, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Bankrate”), pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement, dated October 10, 2011 (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”), for an aggregate purchase price of $65 million in cash, subject to certain adjustments, and Bankrate’s assumption of certain liabilities of the Company, as described in the Asset Purchase Agreement.

Item 5.03.  Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
 
At a special meeting of the stockholders of the Company held on December 21, 2011 (the “Special Meeting”), the Company stockholders approved, upon recommendation by the Company’s Board of Directors, an amendment to Article 1 of the Company’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation to change the name of the Company to Internet Patents Corporation.  The amendment became effective upon the filing of a Certificate of Amendment with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on December 21, 2011. The Certificate of Amendment, dated December 21, 2011, is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 3.1.

Item 5.07.  Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
 
At the Special Meeting, the following matters were considered: (i) a proposal to approve the Asset Sale as contemplated by the Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Asset Sale Proposal”); (ii) a proposal to approve an amendment to the Company’s certificate of incorporation to change its name to Internet Patents Corporation (the “Name Change Amendment Proposal”); (iii) a proposal to approve, on an advisory, non-binding basis, the compensation that may be paid or become payable to the Company’s named executive officers in connection with the  Asset Sale (the “Compensation Proposal”); and (iv) a proposal to approve the adjournment or postponement of the Special Meeting, if necessary or appropriate, to solicit additional proxies if there are insufficient votes at the time of the Special Meeting to approve the Asset Sale Proposal (the “Proposal to Adjourn or Postpone the Special Meeting”).

INSWEB CORPORATION
NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
1.     ASSET SALE TRANSACTION TO BANKRATE
 
Pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement dated October 10, 2011 ("Agreement"), Bankrate agreed to pay InsWeb $65 million in cash at closing, subject to a working capital adjustment specified in the Agreement. InsWeb retained a portfolio of ecommerce and online insurance distribution patents, which it licensed to Bankrate on a perpetual, royalty-free, non-exclusive basis. Under the terms of the Agreement, Bankrate also assumed certain liabilities of InsWeb, as further specified in the Agreement.
 
Following the closing, InsWeb changed its name to Internet Patents Corporation and will continue as a public company focused on a new business model in which it will license its patented technologies.
 
2.     PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS FROM THE ASSET SALE TRANSACTION FOR INSWEB
 
The following pro forma adjustments, in $000s, are included in the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet and statements of operations for InsWeb based upon the terms of the agreement:
 
 
(a)
Reflects the historical financial position of InsWeb at September 30, 2011.
 
 
(b)
Represents the estimated cash proceeds and (uses) associated with the Agreement which is calculated as follow:
 
Purchase Price
  
$
65,000
  
Acquisition costs
    
(2,446
)
Working capital adjustment
    
(1,719
)
Net Asset Sale Transaction proceeds
  
$
60,835
  
 
 
(c)
Reflects the sale of this asset or liability.
 
 
(d)
Reflects the sale of certain assets or liabilities specifically associated with the insurance lead generation business.
 
 
(e)
The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet reflects an adjustment to accumulated deficit for the estimated gain on the sale net of estimated taxes calculated below, and the pro forma impact of immediate vesting of the outstanding and unvested stock options that would have occurred had the Asset Sale Transaction taken place as of September 30, 2011. The net Asset Sale Transaction proceeds and estimated gain on the sale below are based on balances as of September 30, 2011 and will be different based on the use of the actual balances at closing, actual Asset Sale Transaction costs, and the final working capital adjustment. The actual gain on sale is estimated in the range of $44 million to $47 million.  The gain as included herein was calculated as follows:
 
 
8
 
 
Net Asset Sale Transaction proceeds
  
$
60,835
  
Assets sold in the Asset Sale Transaction
    
(13,499
)
         
Liabilities assumed in the Asset Sale Transaction
    
4,423
  
         
Expense associated with accelerated option vesting
    
(628
)
Estimated gain on sale before estimated income taxes
  
$
51,131
  
Less estimated income taxes payable
    
(5,394
)
Estimated gain on sale net of estimated income taxes
  
$
45,737
  
 
 
(f)
Reflects the historical results of operations of InsWeb.
 
(g)
The insurance lead generation business represents the source of all of InsWeb’s historical revenue and a significant driver of the expenses for the periods shown.
 
(h)
Reflects the elimination of all revenues, direct marketing and sales and marketing expenses associated with the insurance lead generation business.
 
(i)
Reflects the effect of the elimination of certain costs specifically associated with the sale of certain assets or liabilities specifically associated with the insurance lead generation.
 
(j)
Reflects the reduction in interest expense associated with the elimination of certain liabilities.
 
(k)
Reflects the federal alternative minimum tax and California franchise tax that will be owed by InsWeb on the taxable gain from the sale. A substantial amount of net operating loss carryover is allowed to offset federal taxable income, but net operating loss carryovers may not be utilized in California to offset taxable income in 2011.
 
(l)
Reflects the elimination of the gain on extinguishment of contingent liability upon the execution of the Third Amendment to the Stock Purchase Agreement with Potrero Media Corporation. This is a non-recurring transaction and not deemed part of the recurring insurance lead generation business.
 
(m)
Reflects the elimination of dilutive securities because of the net loss.
