Item 1.01               Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On March 7, 2007, FTD Group, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an Underwriting Agreement with certain stockholders of the Company (the “Selling Stockholders”) and Goldman, Sachs & Co. and Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, acting on their behalf and as representatives of the underwriters named in Schedule I thereto (collectively the “Underwriters”), a copy of which is filed herewith as Exhibit 1.1 and incorporated herein by reference (the “Underwriting Agreement”).  Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the Selling Stockholders have agreed to sell to the Underwriters 6,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Shares”), at a public offering price of $17.50 per Share.  According to the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, the Underwriters will receive an underwriting discount equal to $0.875 per Share.  The Company has agreed to pay substantially all of the Selling Stockholders’ expenses in connecting with the offering, excluding underwriting discounts and commissions.  The Selling Stockholders also granted the Underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 900,000 Shares solely to cover any over-allotments.

Under the Underwriting Agreement, subject to certain exceptions, the Company, its directors and officers and the Selling Stockholders have agreed not to sell or otherwise dispose of any of the Company’s common stock held by them for 90 days after the expected closing date of the offering, which is expected to be March 12, 2007, without first obtaining the written consent of Goldman, Sachs & Co. and Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated.

The Company expects to close the offering on March 12, 2007, subject to the satisfaction of closing conditions.

Item 8.01               Other Events.

On March 7, 2007, the Company issued a press release announcing the pricing of its previously announced secondary stock offering by affiliates of Leonard Green & Partners, L.P. and management.  A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1, is incorporated herein by reference and is hereby filed.
