On May 4, 2010, j2 Global Communications, Inc. issued a press release announcing its financial results for the third quarter of fiscal 2010.

The Company also announced in the press release that its Board of Directors has approved a stock repurchase program authorizing the Company to purchase in the public market or in off-market transactions up to 10 million shares of the Company’s common stock at any time or times through April 30, 2012.
