Item 8.01 Other Events.

On April 19, 2021, J2 Global, Inc. (“J2 Global”) announced that it intended to separate into two independent publicly traded companies: one addressing healthcare interoperability and comprising the Cloud Fax business, which will do business as Consensus, and one that will continue J2 Global’s strategy of building a leading internet platform focused on key verticals, including technology & gaming, shopping, health, cybersecurity and SMB enablement (the “Spin-Off”).

In addition, J2 Global previously announced that it intends to redeem all of its outstanding 3.25% convertible senior notes due 2029 (CUSIP Number 48123V AC6) (the “Notes”) in full on August 2, 2021 (the “Redemption Date”). Accordingly holders may surrender their Notes for conversion at any time prior to the close of business (which is 5:00 p.m., New York City time), on July 30, 2021, the business day immediately preceding the Redemption Date. J2 Global expects to complete the Spin-Off after the Redemption Date and currently expects to complete the Spin-Off prior to the end of the third quarter of 2021.

Certain statements in this Current Report on Form 8-K are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 with respect to the Spin-Off. These forward-looking statements are subject to numerous assumptions, risks and uncertainties, including market and other conditions, whether the Spin-Off can be completed with the proposed form, terms or timing, or at all, the expected benefits of the Spin-Off and what method of settlement J2 Global will elect for any conversions of the Notes in connection with the Redemption. There are important factors that could cause actual results, performance or achievements of J2 Global and Consensus to differ materially from the performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements, including those factors described in J2 Global’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Current Reports on Form 8-K and other documents filed from time to time by J2 Global with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Although management’s expectations may change after the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K, J2 Global undertakes no obligation to revise or update these statements.
