FTD, INC. AND FTD.COM COMPLETE MERGER

FTD, INC. AND FTD.COM COMBINE TO CREATE FLORAL INDUSTRY LEADER

DOWNERS GROVE, Ill. - June 28, 2002 - FTD, Inc. (formerly IOS Brands Corporation) and FTD.COM INC. announced today that they have completed a transaction to combine their respective businesses through a merger, previously announced on March 4, 2002. As a result of the merger, the shareholders of FTD.COM have become shareholders of FTD, Inc., which now trades on the Nasdaq National Market under the symbol "FTDI". The new public company unites FTD, Inc.'s strong cash flow florist business with an Internet company that has demonstrated continued revenue growth and profitability.

"This merger is an important milestone for FTD, Inc.," said President, CEO and Chairman, Robert L. Norton. "It creates a unified company with a more flexible structure and a balance sheet with minimal net debt that will allow us to develop FTD's world-wide brand across all merchandising categories and distribution channels. As such, we believe we are well positioned to continue to grow our core businesses organically and through acquisitions," said Norton. For the trailing twelve months ending March 31, 2002, without giving affect to the merger, FTD, Inc. had revenues of $311 million, net income per basic share of $0.87 and EBITDA of $41 million, excluding nonrecurring charges and gains as described in the attached financial table.

At a shareholder meeting held on June 27, 2002, FTD.COM shareholders voted to approve the merger by which shareholders of FTD.COM have become shareholders of FTD, Inc. Under the terms of the merger agreement, each outstanding share of FTD.COM Class A common stock held by public shareholders was converted into the right to receive 0.26 shares of FTD, Inc. Class A common stock. As a result of the merger, FTD, Inc. expects to issue approximately 2.1 million shares of Class A common stock to FTD.COM shareholders, resulting in approximately 16.7 million shares of FTD, Inc. common stock outstanding. Based on FTD.COM's June 27, 2002 closing price of $3.21 per share and the exchange ratio of 0.26 shares of FTD, Inc. for each share of FTD.COM, the implied closing price for FTD, Inc.'s common stock on June 27, 2002 would have been $12.35 per share. The previously anticipated stock dividend was abandoned in order to comply with Nasdaq National Market listing requirements.
