Item 5.02 DEPARTURE OF DIRECTOR OR CERTAIN OFFICERS; ELECTION OF DIRECTORS; APPOINTMENT OF CERTAIN OFFICERS; COMPENSATORY ARRANGEMENTS OF CERTAIN OFFICERS

On January 12, 2007, the Compensation Committee of the InfoSpace, Inc. Board of Directors approved the 2007 1H InfoSpace Executive Financial Performance Incentive Plan (the “2007 1H Executive Plan”).

The 2007 1H Executive Plan provides for the payment of cash bonuses to eligible senior executives, which include the Chief Executive Officer; Chief Financial Officer; Executive Vice President, Online; and Executive Vice President, Mobile. The payment of these cash bonuses is based upon the attainment of specific revenue and EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) objectives established by the Compensation Committee and the achievement by the executive of individual performance objectives reviewed and approved by the Compensation Committee for the first half of 2007. The Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer will have worldwide revenue and EBITDA targets. The Executive Vice Presidents will have business-unit specific revenue and EBITDA targets. These revenue and EBITDA targets have not been included in this description or in the 2007 1H Executive Plan in order to maintain the confidentiality of InfoSpace’s confidential commercial or business information.

The above descriptions are subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the 2007 1H Executive Plan which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this report and incorporated herein by reference.

On January 12, 2007, the Compensation Committee also approved Amendment No. 1 to Employment Agreement (“Amendment No. 1”) amending the employment agreements between InfoSpace, Inc. and each of the following named executive officers: Chief Financial Officer, Allen M. Hsieh, dated November 1, 2006; Executive Vice President Online, Brian T. McManus, dated April 2, 2003; and Executive Vice President Mobile, Steven L. Elfman, dated August 3, 2005 (each, an “Employment Agreement”). The amendment provides for the acceleration of 50% of the employee’s then unvested restricted stock units if the employee is terminated by InfoSpace without cause or by the employee for good reason (as defined in the Employment Agreement), including in connection with a change of control. The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the form of Amendment No. 1 attached hereto as Exhibit 10.2 and each of the Employment Agreements previously filed.
