InfoSpace Canada issued the exchangeable shares in exchange for outstanding shares of the common stock of INEX Corporation, an Ontario corporation, in connection with our acquisition of INEX in 1999. On October 5, 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission declared the Registration Statement effective.

 

We have issued all of the shares initially registered under the Registration Statement that we are required to issue in exchange for the exchangeable shares of InfoSpace Canada. Therefore, in accordance with the undertaking contained in the Registration Statement pursuant to Item 512(a)(3) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act of 1933, we respectfully request that the Commission withdraw the Registration Statement.
