On October 25, 2012, Intersections announced that its Board of Directors declared a one-time special cash dividend of $0.50 per share and a quarterly cash dividend of $0.20 per share, both payable on November 30, 2012 to stockholders of record as of November 20, 2012.

Michael Stanfield, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Intersections commented, “We are pleased with the operating results of our core business in a very challenging market environment. We now expect revenue for the full year to come in approximately $10 million higher than previously planned, and continue to expect adjusted EBITDA before share related compensation to fall within our previously announced range. We expect 2013 will be a year of transition for Intersections as we see further declines in our bank-related business and additional investments in new growth opportunities. We expect revenue and adjusted EBITDA before share based compensation to be lower in 2013 than in 2012, as we continue to develop growth opportunities to offset the declines in our bank-related business. We look forward to sharing more details on our plans as they mature in the coming quarters.”
