WC SACD Commences Tender Offer for All Outstanding Shares of Intersections Inc.

Share this article


BURLINGTON, Mass., Nov. 29, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- WC SACD One, Inc. ("WC SACD"), a newly formed joint venture entity of iSubscribed Inc. ("iSubscribed"), WndrCo Holdings, LLC ("WndrCo"), General Catalyst Group IX, L.P., and GC Entrepreneurs Fund IX, L.P. (together with General Catalyst Group IX, L.P., the "GC Funds"), today announced that WC SACD's wholly-owned subsidiary, WC SACD One Parent, Inc. ("Parent"), has directed its own wholly-owned subsidiary, WC SACD One Merger Sub, Inc. ("Purchaser"), to commence its previously announced cash tender offer to purchase all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Intersections Inc. ("Intersections") (NASDAQ: INTX). 

The tender offer is being made pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of October 31, 2018, as amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto, dated as of November 28, 2018, by and among Parent, Purchaser, and Intersections (as amended, the "Merger Agreement") and the Offer to Purchase, dated as of the date hereof, by Purchaser (the "Offer to Purchase").  Upon and subject to successful completion of the tender offer, stockholders of Intersections will receive $3.68 in cash for each share of Intersections common stock (the "Shares") validly tendered and not validly withdrawn in the offer, without interest and less any applicable withholding tax.  The $3.68 per Share tender offer price represents a 104.4% premium to the trailing average closing price of the Shares for the 30-day period and a 111.4% premium to the trailing average closing price of the Shares for the 90-day period, each ended on October 30, 2018, the last full trading day prior the announcement of the Merger Agreement.  The transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, including the tender offer, have been unanimously recommended by a Special Committee of the Board of Directors of Intersections, comprised solely of independent and disinterested directors, and unanimously approved by the Board of Directors of Intersections.

The tender offer commencing today will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on December 28, 2018, along with related withdrawal rights, unless extended or earlier terminated in accordance with the Merger Agreement.  There is currently no planned subsequent offering period, but Purchaser may, in its sole discretion, elect to provide a subsequent offering period in accordance with Rule 14d-11 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, following the acceptance for payment of the Shares in the offer.

The tender offer is subject to customary closing conditions, including the tender of a majority of the issued and outstanding Shares on a fully-diluted basis, and the tender of a majority of the issued and outstanding Shares held by stockholders other than Intersections' directors, executive officers and rollover participants.  Shares issuable upon conversion of Intersections' senior convertible notes are disregarded for purposes of calculating the foregoing condition. The consummation of the offer is not subject to any financing contingency.

Certain stockholders of Intersections have entered into tender and support agreements with Parent under which such stockholders have committed to tender all of their Shares, other than the Shares they have agreed to rollover in the transaction.  The Shares they have agreed to tender, together with the Shares they have agreed to rollover, not including the Shares issuable upon conversion of the senior convertible notes that they hold, represent approximately 49% of the outstanding Shares as of November 26, 2018. .

Following, and subject to, successful completion of the tender offer, WC SACD intends to effect a second-step merger, pursuant to Section 251(h) of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the "DGCL"), for all of the remaining Intersections Shares at the same price per Share paid in the tender offer, without prior notice to, or any action by, any other stockholder of Intersections. The merger is expected to close during the first quarter of 2019, at which time Hari Ravichandran, the CEO and Founder of iSubscribed, is expected to assume the role of CEO of Intersections.  It is also expected that shortly after the closing of the merger, subject to certain conditions, iSubscribed will be merged into WC SACD to combine businesses with Intersections.

The complete terms and conditions of the tender offer are set forth in the Offer to Purchase, the related Letter of Transmittal and certain other materials being filed today with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), and available at www.sec.gov.  Purchaser is filing today with the SEC a Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO, together with exhibits furnishing certain additional information with respect to the tender offer, and may file amendments thereto.  Purchaser and certain other parties are also filing today a Transaction Statement on Schedule 13E-3 (including exhibits) furnishing certain additional information.  In addition, Intersections is filing today with the SEC a Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9 as well as a Transaction Statement on Schedule 13E-3, together with exhibits, setting forth the recommendation of Intersections' Board of Directors with respect to the tender offer and the reasons for such recommendation and furnishing certain additional information. 

D.F. King & Co., Inc. is acting as Information Agent for the tender offer and American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC is acting as Depositary and Paying Agent in the tender offer. Requests for documents and questions regarding the tender offer may be directed to D.F. King & Co., Inc. by telephone, (212) 269-5550, or by email, [email protected].
