CHANTILLY, Va., July 31, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Intersections Inc.

"We are very excited about the progress our Identity Guard business has made to grow our customer base and expand our product offerings."

The terms of the transaction were approved by the independent directors of the Board of Directors and required the consent of the company's lender.  The sale of Voyce will mark the conclusion of all Intersections' operations in its Pet Health Monitoring reporting segment.  Additional information about the divestiture transaction and related pro forma financial information will be found in the Form 8-K to be filed by the Company.
