Item 8.01           Other Events

          On February 22, 2005, Paul Worsham filed a purported class action in the Circuit Court for Montgomery County, Maryland against Xpedite Systems, LLC (f/k/a Xpedite Systems, Inc.) (“Xpedite”), the Data Communications subsidiary of Premiere Global Services, Inc. (the “Company”). The complaint alleged that Xpedite transmitted pre-recorded telephone calls advertising its Data Communications services to telephone numbers in Maryland, including one call to Mr. Worsham's telephone number, in violation of the federal Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991, as amended, and applicable Federal Communication Commission (“FCC”) rules. The complaint also alleged violations of federal caller identification requirements under FCC rules and violations of the Maryland Telephone Consumer Protection Act. The complaint sought statutory damages under the federal and Maryland statutes for each of four alleged violations of the two statutes, treble damages for what is alleged to have been willful conduct and injunctive relief. No class had been certified in the case.

          On June 14, 2006, the parties entered into a settlement agreement that provides for, among other things, dismissal of the action with prejudice, mutual releases and the payment of a settlement amount by Xpedite to Mr. Worsham of $32,000.
