Under the terms of the merger agreement, the Company has agreed to pay FTD stockholders $7.34 in cash, 0.4087 of a share of United Online common stock and $3.31 principal amount of United Online 13% senior secured notes due in 2013 (“UOL notes”) for each share of FTD common stock, subject to adjustment as described in the merger agreement. The total consideration payable by the Company to FTD stockholders is estimated to be approximately $456 million, consisting of $222 million in cash, 12.35 million shares of Company common stock and $100 million aggregate principal amount of UOL notes based on the Company’s closing stock price of $10.83 on April 29, 2008, the last trading day prior to the announcement of the proposed transaction.
