Explanatory Note

This Post-Effective Amendment (the “Post-Effective Amendment”) relates to the following Registration Statements on Form S-8 (the “Registration Statements”), filed by j2 Global, Inc. a Delaware corporation (“j2 Global”), with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”):

• Registration No. 333-31064, originally covering 5,215,000 shares of j2 Global’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share, issuable under the JFAX.COM, Inc. Amended and Restated 1997 Stock Option Plan;

• Registration No. 333-55402, originally covering 696,250 shares of j2 Global’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share, issuable under the JFAX Communications, Inc. (j2 Global Communications, Inc.) Amended and Restated 1997 Stock Option Plan;

• Registration No. 333-64986, originally covering 500,000 shares of j2 Global’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share, issuable under the j2 Global, Inc. 2001 Employee Stock Purchase Plan;

• Registration No. 333-87504, originally covering 500,000 shares of j2 Global’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share, issuable under the j2 Global Communications, Inc. Second Amended and Restated 1997 Stock Option Plan;

• Registration No. 333-135340, originally covering 2,000,000 shares of j2 Global’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share, issuable under the j2 Global Communications, Inc. Second Amended and Restated 1997 Stock Option Plan; and

• Registration No. 333-149641, originally covering 4,500,000 shares of j2 Global’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share, issuable under the j2 Global, Inc. 2007 Stock Plan (collectively, the “Plans”).

This Amendment is being filed pursuant to Rule 414 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), to reflect the adoption by j2 Global of a holding company form of organizational structure (the “Reorganization”). In accordance with Section 251(g) of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”), the holding company organizational structure was implemented by the merger (the “Merger”) of Merger Sub, Inc. (“Merger Sub”) a Delaware corporation, with and into j2 Global, with j2 Global being the surviving entity (the “Surviving Entity”). In the Merger, which was completed on June 10, 2014, each share of the issued and outstanding common stock of j2 Global (“Pre-Merger Stock”) was converted into one share of common stock of j2 Global Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Registrant”), having the same rights, powers, preferences, qualifications, limitations and restrictions as the Pre-Merger Stock. Pursuant to the Merger, the Surviving Entity became a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of the Registrant and the Registrant became the successor issuer to j2 Global pursuant to Rule 12g-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). In connection with the Reorganization, immediately following the Merger, j2 Global changed its name to “j2 Cloud Services, Inc.” and the Registrant changed its name from “j2 Global Holdings, Inc.” to “j2 Global, Inc.”

In connection with the Reorganization, the Registrant assumed the Plans and all of the outstanding equity awards under the Plans. Each outstanding equity award assumed by the Registrant under the Plans is issuable upon the same terms and conditions as were in effect immediately prior to the completion of the Reorganization, except that all such equity awards now entitle the holder thereof to acquire the equity interests of the Registrant.

In accordance with Rule 414 under the Securities Act, the Registrant, as the successor registrant to j2 Global, hereby expressly adopts this registration statement as its own for all purposes of the Exchange Act.

Article VI of the Registrant’s By-laws provides:

“The Corporation shall indemnify to the full extent permitted by law any person made or threatened to be made a party to any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that such person or such person’s testator or intestate is or was a director, officer or employee of the Corporation or serves or served at the request of the Corporation any other enterprise as a director, officer or employee. Expenses, including attorneys’ fees, incurred by any such person in defending any such action, suit or proceeding shall be paid or reimbursed by the Corporation promptly upon receipt by it of an undertaking of such person to repay such expenses if it shall ultimately be determined that such person is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation. The rights provided to any person by this by-law shall be enforceable against the Corporation by such person who shall be presumed to have relied upon it in serving or continuing to serve as a director, officer or employee as provided above. No amendment of this by-law shall impair the rights of any person arising at any time with respect to events occurring prior to such amendment. For purposes of this by-law, the term ‘Corporation’ shall include any predecessor of the Corporation and any constituent corporation (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed by the Corporation in a consolidation or merger; the term ‘other enterprise’ shall include any corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or employee benefit plan; service ‘at the request of the Corporation’ shall include service as a director, officer or employee of the Corporation which imposes duties on, or involves services by, such director, officer or employee with respect to an employee benefit plan, our participants or beneficiaries; any excise taxes assessed on a person with respect to an employee benefit plan shall be deemed to be indemnifiable expenses; and action by a person with respect to an employee benefit plan which such person reasonably believes to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of such plan shall be deemed to be action not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation.”

The Registrant has also obtained a policy of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance for its directors and officers to insure directors and officers against the cost of defense, settlement or payment of a judgment under certain circumstances.

Item 9. Undertakings.

(a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement

4

(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;

(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement;

(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;

Provided, however , that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post- effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the SEC by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement.

(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of any offering.

(b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
