Exhibit 99.1

UNITED ONLINE, INC. ANNOUNCES $60 MILLION FINANCING

COMMITMENT FROM SILICON VALLEY BANK AND ELECTION TO

SUBSTITUTE ADDITIONAL CASH IN LIEU OF SELLER NOTES

IN ACQUISITION OF FTD GROUP, INC.

FTD STOCKHOLDERS TO RECEIVE AN ADDITIONAL $2.81 IN CASH PER FTD SHARE

IN LIEU OF $3.31 OF UNITED ONLINE NOTES

WOODLAND HILLS, Calif., July 17, 2008 – United Online, Inc. (Nasdaq: UNTD), a leading provider of consumer Internet and media services, today announced that it has received a commitment from Silicon Valley Bank to provide to United Online, on the terms and subject to the conditions therein, a $60 million senior secured term loan facility to be used to fund a portion of the cash merger consideration for the acquisition of FTD Group, Inc. (NYSE: FTD) by United Online. The term loans under the senior secured term loan facility will bear interest at either LIBOR plus 3.5% per annum (with a LIBOR floor of 3.0%) or a base rate plus 2% per annum.

In connection with receipt of the commitment from Silicon Valley Bank, United Online and FTD entered into an amendment to their previously announced merger agreement pursuant to which United Online has elected to exercise its right under the terms of the merger agreement related to United Online obtaining additional financing to increase the per share cash merger consideration payable to FTD’s stockholders by $2.81 in full substitution of the $3.31 principal amount of United Online 13% senior secured notes due 2013 (the “Notes”). As a result of the substitution, the aggregate debt incurred in connection with the transaction will be reduced by $40 million, and in lieu of the issuance of $100 million of Notes, United Online will provide FTD stockholders with $85 million in cash. As a result, in accordance with the formula provided in the merger agreement, FTD stockholders will receive a total of $10.15 in cash and 0.4087 of a share of United Online common stock (“United Online Stock”) in exchange for each share of FTD common stock in the merger, for a total value of $14.38 per share of FTD common stock, based on United Online’s closing stock price of $10.35 on July 16, 2008. In such case, the total consideration to FTD stockholders and option holders would be approximately $434 million, consisting of approximately $307 million in cash and approximately 12.35 million shares of United Online Stock.

The amendment to the merger agreement provides, among other things, that in the event that the proceeds of the borrowings under the $60 million senior secured term loan facility from Silicon Valley Bank are unavailable to United Online, FTD stockholders will instead receive the previously announced $7.34 in cash, 0.4087 of a share of United Online Stock and $3.31 principal amount of Notes for each share of FTD common stock in the merger. In such case, United Online and FTD have agreed to notify FTD’s stockholders by press release of such change in merger consideration on or before the fifth business day prior to the scheduled date of the special meeting of the FTD stockholders to consider the merger.
