Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On December 31, 2005, Opinion Research Corporation (the “Company”) entered into a Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with ProTel Marketing, Inc. (the “Purchaser”) regarding the sale of the Company’s teleservices business, ORC ProTel, LLC (the “Teleservices Business”). The Purchaser is a corporation formed by certain members of the current management of the Teleservices Business, including Ruth Wolf. The sale of the Teleservices Business to the Purchaser was effective as of December 31, 2005.

The Agreement provides for the sale of all of the membership interest in ORC ProTel, LLC by the Company to the Purchaser in consideration of the assumption of all the liabilities of the Teleservices Business, other than bank debt, and the possibility of receiving payments during the next five years based on the revenues of the Teleservices Business over a specified threshold determined annually in accordance with a formula set forth in the Agreement. The consideration was determined pursuant to negotiations between the parties. The Agreement contains customary representations and warranties. In connection with the closing of the transaction, Allen Wolf and Ruth Wolf delivered resignations with respect to their positions as officers of the Company.

The foregoing description of the Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and which is incorporated herein by reference. The Agreement is included as an exhibit and incorporated herein by reference to provide information regarding its terms. Except for its status as the contractual document between the parties with respect to the transactions described therein, it is not intended to provide factual information about the parties. The representations and warranties contained in the Agreement were made only for purposes of the Agreement and as of specific dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties to the Agreement, and may be subject to limitations agreed by the parties, including being qualified by disclosures between the parties. These representations and warranties may have been made for the purposes of allocating contractual risk between the parties to the Agreement instead of establishing these matters as facts and may be subject to standards of materiality applicable to the parties that differ from those applicable to investors. Accordingly, they should not be relied on by investors as statements of factual information.

Item 2.05 Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities

Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated herein by reference. On January 3, 2005, the Company announced in a press release that it had entered into the Agreement and that it had undertaken a restructuring of its market research operations. Pursuant to the restructuring, the Company will close its market research operations in South Korea and Mexico and one of its call centers in the United States. These closures are currently expected to be completed by March 31, 2006.

Although the historic profitability of the Teleservices Business unit met our expectations and exceeded that of its industry, the Company decided to sell this unit because the recent decline in revenues and the resulting losses made the sale a desirable transaction. The decision to close the

market research operations in South Korea and Mexico was based upon the operations’ erratic operating results and the fact these operations are non-strategic in the Company’s services to its global clients. The decision to close the call center was based upon cost savings considerations.

In connection with the sale of the Teleservices Business, the closure of market research operations in South Korea and Mexico and the closure of one call center, the Company anticipates that it will incur certain charges, including but not limited to charges related to one-time termination benefits; however, the Company is unable in good faith to definitively set a range of estimated charges at this time. The Company will file an amendment to this Form 8-K within four days after it makes a determination of an estimate of such charges.

Item 8.01 Other Events

On January 3, 2006, the Company issued a press release announcing the sale of the Teleservices Business to the Purchaser and the restructuring of its market research operations. The press release is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Current Report on Form 8-K contains, within the meaning of the safe harbor provision of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, forward-looking statements that are based on management’s beliefs and assumptions, current expectations, estimates and projections.
