On November 8, 2017, Bankrate, Inc.

Upon completion of the Merger, the Company became an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Parent and each share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (Common Stock), outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger (the Effective Time) (other than shares of Common Stock owned by the Company, Parent, Merger Sub or any wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and shares of Common Stock owned by stockholders of the Company who properly demanded and did not withdraw a demand for, or lose their right to, appraisal rights pursuant to Section 262 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware) was at the Effective Time automatically cancelled and converted into the right to receive $14.00 in cash, without interest (the Merger Consideration). As a result of the Merger, the Reporting Persons no longer beneficially own any shares of Common Stock.

Clauses (a), (b), (c) and (e) of Item 5 of the Schedule 13D are amended and restated as follows:
