Item 7.01. REGULATION FD DISCLOSURE.
On February 4, 2005, InsWeb Corporation’s wholly-owned subsidiary, InsWeb Insurance Services, Inc. received a letter of inquiry from the California Department of Insurance. InsWeb Insurance Services, Inc. is a licensed insurance agency that operates in California and other states. The letter requests information and documents on the company’s compensation arrangements with insurance companies and the company’s sales practices. It does not allege any wrongdoing on the part of InsWeb Insurance Services, Inc, its parent company, or any employee.
Other insurance agencies and insurance companies in California received similar requests for information. Moreover, a number of other states are conducting similar industry wide inquiries into insurance agency compensation arrangements, and InsWeb Insurance Services, Inc may receive requests for information from these states. InsWeb Corporation does not intend to announce receipt of other inquiries unless they are substantively different from the California letter.
