J. Carlo Cannell‘s Cannell Capital recently filed a 13D with the US SEC regarding its investment in United Online Inc (NASDAQ:UNTD), in which it expressed its position vis-a-vis the proposed merger between United Online and B. Riley Financial Inc (NASDAQ:RILY) (a shareholder of the company).
Cannell Capital, which is a major shareholder of United Online and owns 684,210 shares, or 4.57% of the outstanding stock, said it had voted against the deal between two companies. In addition, compared to its latest 13F filing (for the end of March), Cannell Capital slightly decreased its the stake from 698,149 shares.

Looking to narrow the social media segment of their business United Online recently sold a set of its subsidiaries that together form StayFriends’ business. Over the past 12 months, the company’s shares have dropped by 27.52%. In its latest financial report for the first quarter of 2016 United Online (NASDAQ:UNTD) reported revenue of $18.4 million and a diluted net loss per share of $2.61, which compares to revenue of $24.3 and diluted loss per share of $0.06 reported for the same period in the previous year.
