Item 8.01. Other Events.

On February 22, 2008, The Knot, Inc. and its subsidiary WeddingChannel.com, Inc. were provided with a copy of a putative amended class action complaint captioned Haslam v. Macy’s, Inc., The Knot, Inc., WeddingChannel.com, Inc. and Does 1-100, filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida, though neither The Knot nor WeddingChannel have yet been formally served with the suit. The Complaint alleges that the defendants provided customers with electronically printed receipts for credit card and debit card point of sale transactions that contained more than the last five digits of the customer’s card number and/or the card’s expiration date in violation of the federal Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act (FACTA). The Complaint does not specify any actual damages for any member of the purported class. However, the Complaint does seek statutory damages, which are $100 to $1,000 for each proven alleged willful violation of the statute, if any, as well as attorneys’ fees and costs, unspecified compensatory and punitive damages, and a permanent injunction. While we intend to vigorously defend against the claims asserted, this case is in the preliminary stages of litigation and, as a result, the ultimate outcome of this case and any potential financial impact on The Knot are not reasonably determinable at this time.
