LOS ANGELES, CA – June 28, 2017 — /BackupReview.info/ — j2 Global, Inc. (NASDAQGS:JCOM) (“j2 Global”) and its subsidiary, j2 Cloud Services, LLC (“j2 Cloud”), today announced that j2 Cloud and j2 Cloud Co-Obligor, Inc. have completed the issuance of $650 million aggregate principal amount of its 6.000% Senior Notes due 2025 (the “Notes”) in a private placement that is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Notes will pay interest at the rate of 6.000% per annum, and are to be guaranteed on an unsecured basis by certain of j2 Cloud’s wholly-owned restricted subsidiaries.

j2 Cloud estimates that the net proceeds from such offering will be approximately $636.4 million, after deducting the initial purchasers’ discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses. j2 Cloud intends to use the net proceeds from the offering to redeem all of its outstanding 8.000% Senior Notes due 2020, to distribute sufficient net proceeds to j2 Global to pay off all amounts outstanding under j2 Global’s existing credit facility and, to the extent any proceeds remain thereafter, for general corporate purposes, which may include acquisitions.

The Notes and the related guarantees were issued only to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers in reliance on Rule 144A under the Securities Act, and outside the United States only to non-U.S. persons pursuant to Regulation S. The Notes and the related guarantees have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws.

This press release does not constitute an offer to sell, or the solicitation of an offer to buy, any security and shall not constitute an offer, solicitation or sale in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.
