Bankrate Under Investigation for Financial Reporting

On September 15, 2014, Bankrate filed a From 8-K with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, announcing that the SEC is conducting a non-public formal investigation of the company's financial reporting during 2012. Bankrate's Audit Committee further concluded that the company's financial statements for fiscal years 2011, 2012, and 2013 should no longer be relied upon pending a full internal review. Finally, Bankrate used the 8-K as a platform to announce the abrupt resignation of its Chief Financial Officer.
