Item 7.01.    Regulation FD Disclosure
 
James Voelker, a member of the board of directors of InfoSpace, Inc. (the "Company") who also served as the Company's Chief Executive Officer from December 2002 to February 2009, has informed the Company that he intends to adopt a written sales plan in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended ("Rule 10b5-1"). Mr. Voelker's 10b5-1 plan is intended to permit the orderly disposition of shares he will acquire upon the exercise of stock options that were granted in July and December 2002, which by their terms will expire in July and December 2012. An aggregate of 605,500 shares of the Company's common stock are subject to these stock options. Mr. Voelker intends to exercise and sell a portion of these shares during the open trading window that begins on February 21, with the balance to be exercised and sold pursuant to the 10b5-1 plan throughout the remainder of 2012 and prior to the expiration date of the applicable option. Sales under the plan will begin no sooner than 30 days after the plan's adoption, and are subject to certain minimum price levels.

Rule 10b5-1 allows corporate officers and directors to adopt written, pre-arranged stock trading plans when they do not have material non-public information. Under these plans, insiders can spread stock trades out over an extended period of time to reduce market impact and can avoid concerns about having material, non-public information when they purchase or sell stock. Once established, the insider has no discretion over transactions under a Rule 10b5-1 plan. Stock transactions pursuant to the terms of the plan will be disclosed publicly as required through Form 4 filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
