*Item 5.07. *Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders****

A special meeting of stockholders of Tree.com, Inc. (the “Company”) was held on August 26, 2011 (the “Special Meeting”). At the Special Meeting the following matters were considered: (i) a proposal to approve the sale of substantially all of the operating assets of Home Loan Center, Inc. (“HLC”), a subsidiary of the Company, to Discover Bank as contemplated by the asset purchase agreement dated May 12, 2011 by and among the Company, and its wholly-owned subsdiaries, LendingTree, LLC, HLC and HLC Escrow, Inc., on the one hand, and Discover Bank on the other hand (the “HLC Asset Sale Proposal”); (ii) a proposal to consider and provide an advisory, non-binding vote on the payment of certain compensation to the Company’s named executive officers that is based on or otherwise related to the HLC Asset Sale Proposal (the “HLC Transaction-Related Compensation Arrangements Proposal”); and (iii) a proposal to approve the adjournment or postponement of the Special Meeting, if necessary or appropriate, to solicit additional proxies if there are insufficient votes at the time of the Special Meeting to approve the HLC Asset Sale Proposal (the “Proposal to Adjourn or Postpone the Special Meeting”).

Each proposal is described in more detail in the Proxy Statement.

*Proposal 1. HLC Asset Sale Proposal*

For Against Abstentions Broker Non-Votes
8,510,763 25,157 769 0

*Proposal 2. HLC Transaction-Related Compensation Arrangements Proposal*

For Against Abstentions Broker Non-Votes
7,867,347 573,372 95,970 0

*Proposal 3. Proposal to Adjourn or Postpone the Special Meeting*

For Against Abstentions Broker Non-Votes
8,459,832 75,882 975 0

The adjournment or postponement of the Special Meeting was not necessary because there were sufficient votes at the time of the Special Meeting to approve the HLC Asset Sale Proposal.

The asset sale with Discover Bank remains subject to various closing conditions, including regulatory approvals for Discover Bank. The acquisition is expected to close by the end of 2011.
