Item 2.02.           Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On April 30, 2013, United Online, Inc. (“United Online” or the “Company”) issued a press release announcing its financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 and other financial information.  A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this report.  The information furnished under Item 2.02 of this Form 8-K and Exhibit 99.1 attached hereto shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.

Item 5.02.          Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On April 30, 2013, Mark R. Goldston, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of United Online, announced that, subject to the completion of the planned spin off of the Company’s FTD segment as an independent, publicly-traded company (the “FTD Spin-Off Transaction”), he would resign as a director and officer of United Online immediately thereafter.  Under the terms of Mr. Goldston’s employment agreement, the FTD Spin-Off Transaction would constitute a change in control of United Online.  His resignation following the FTD Spin-Off Transaction would constitute an involuntary termination for purposes of his employment agreement due to there having been a material decrease in his authorities, duties and responsibilities following a change in control.  As a result, effective upon such resignation, and subject to the terms and conditions of his employment agreement, Mr. Goldston would be entitled to the severance and other benefits described in his employment agreement in connection with an involuntary termination.  Mr. Goldston’s employment agreement has previously been filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
