Item 8.01   Other Events
     In November and December 2006, Richard Boyle, CEO of LoopNet, Inc., Brent Stumme, CFO of LoopNet, Inc., and three other named executive officers each adopted stock trading plans in accordance with guidelines specified under Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and LoopNet’s policies regarding stock transactions. On or after January 1, 2007, they will begin selling a portion of their LoopNet stock pursuant to these trading plans, although in no case will any sales under these plans represent more than 20% of the current equity holdings of each individual executive during 2007.
     Rule 10b5-1 allows officers and directors of public companies to adopt written prearranged stock trading plans when they are not in possession of material non-public information. Under these plans, the executives will be able to sell a portion of their LoopNet stock over time as part of their respective long-term strategies for individual asset diversification and liquidity, while also trying to minimize the market effect of such trades by spreading them out over a extended period of time. The transactions under each of these executives’ Rule 10b5-1 trading plans will be publicly disclosed through Form 4 and Form 144 filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
