Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On February 28, 2011, United Online, Inc. (the Company) and Computershare Trust Company, N.A. (successor rights agent to U.S. Stock Transfer Corporation) (the Rights Agent) executed Amendment No. 2 (Amendment No. 2) to that certain Rights Agreement, dated as of November 15, 2001, by and between the Company and the Rights Agent, as amended by that certain Amendment No. 1 to the Rights Agreement, dated as of April 29, 2003 (as amended, the Rights Agreement). Amendment No. 2 accelerated the Final Expiration Date of the Rights Agreement to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on February 28, 2011, effectively terminating the Rights Agreement as of such date and time.
The foregoing summary of Amendment No. 2 is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of Amendment No. 2, which is set forth as Exhibit 4.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
Item 1.02 Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.
Item 1.01 is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 3.03 Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders.
Pursuant to the Rights Agreement, the Company previously distributed one Right (a Right) for each share of the Companys common stock, par value $0.0001, with each Right representing the right to purchase, under certain circumstances, one one-thousandth of a share of the Companys Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock. As a result of Amendment No. 2 described in Item 1.01, as of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on February 28, 2011, the Rights have expired and no Right is outstanding or exercisable.
After the expiration of the Rights Agreement, the Company filed with the Delaware Secretary of State a Certificate of Elimination of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock (the Certificate of Elimination), which effectively returned the shares that were designated as Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock to the status of authorized but unissued shares of the preferred stock of the Company, without designation as to series.
The foregoing summary of the Certificate of Elimination is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Certificate of Elimination, which is set forth as Exhibit 4.2 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
