Item 8.01. Other Events.

On November 16, 2009, the United States Senate’s Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation issued a staff report (the “Report”) questioning certain e-commerce business practices including those known as post-transaction marketing. Certain of the companies identified in the Report are parties with which United Online, Inc. (the “Company”) or a subsidiary thereof has a contractual relationship. As noted in the Report, these companies have announced changes to their post-transaction marketing practices. The Company expects that certain of its arrangements or practices relating to post-transaction marketing will be terminated or modified in the near term, and is currently reviewing other post-transaction opportunities, which may be with the same vendors. As discussed most recently in the Company’s Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2009, any changes to industry business practices, the Company’s business practices or the terms of our agreements for post-transaction sales could cause a decrease in our advertising revenues from post-transaction sales as well as our profits. The Company’s revenues from post-transaction sales from its Classmates Media and FTD segments totaled $14.9 million and $5.3 million, respectively, for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009.
