ITEM 8.01.  Other Events.

As previously reported in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, we may be subject to governmental investigations or other legal actions in connection with our former post-transaction sales practices.  We have received subpoenas from the Attorney General for the State of Kansas and the Attorney General for the State of Maryland relating to FTD.com, Inc. (“FTD”) and Classmates Online, Inc. (“CMO”), respectively.  FTD and CMO are subsidiaries of United Online, Inc. (the “Company”).  The subpoenas were issued on behalf of a Multistate Work Group that consists of the Attorneys General for the following states: Delaware, Florida, Idaho, Illinois, Kansas, Maine, Maryland, Michigan, New Mexico, New Jersey, North Dakota, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Texas and Vermont.  Based on the subpoenas, the Company believes the primary focus of the inquiries concerns certain post-transaction sales practices in which FTD and CMO previously engaged with certain third-party vendors.  We are cooperating with such Attorneys General but we cannot predict the outcome of such inquiries.  These inquiries are at their early stages and there is no assurance that the outcome of such inquiries will not result in a material financial impact on the Company.
