ITEM 5.  OTHER EVENTS

         Mail.com, Inc. ("Mail.com") completed on March 19, 2001 the issuance of
$3.9 million principal amount of 10% Senior Convertible Notes due January 8,
2006 (the "Notes") to certain accounts managed by Zesiger Capital Group LLC and
an individual investor. The Notes are joint and several obligations of Mail.com
and its subsidiaries Mail.com Business Messaging Services, Inc. and The Allegro
Group, Inc. (collectively, the "Companies").

         The Notes bear interest, payable semi-annually, at the rate of 10% per
annum. One half of each interest payment is payable in cash and one half is
payable in shares of Mail.com Class A common stock, par value $.01 per share
("Class A common stock"), until 18 months after the closing date of the
financing. Thereafter, one half of each interest payment may be paid in shares
of Class A common stock at the option of the Companies. For purposes of
determining the number of shares issuable upon payment of interest in shares of
Class A common stock, such shares will be deemed to have a value equal to the
applicable conversion price at the time of payment.

         Each of the Notes is convertible at any time at the option of the
holder into Class A common stock at an initial conversion price equal to $1.00
per share. The conversion price is subject to anti-dilution adjustments.

         The Companies may, at their option, prepay the Notes, in whole or in
part, at any time (i) on or after the third anniversary of the closing date of
the financing, (ii) if the closing price of the Class A common stock on the
NASDAQ stock market, or other securities market on which the Class A common
stock is then traded, is at or above $5.00 per share (such amount to be
appropriately adjusted in the event of a stock split, stock dividend, stock
combination or recapitalization or similar event having a similar effect) for 30
consecutive trading days or (iii) Mail.com desires to effect a merger,
consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of its assets in a manner that
is prohibited by the Note Purchase Agreement dated as of March 13, 2001 between
Mail.com and the initial purchasers of the Notes (the "Note Purchase Agreement")
and the holders of the Notes fail to consent to a waiver of such prohibition to
permit such merger, consolidation or sale.

         The Note Purchase Agreement contains certain customary covenants and
events of default, including certain limitations on the ability of the Companies
to incur additional indebtedness and additional liens on its assets.

         Mail.com granted shelf and piggyback resale registration rights to the
holders of the Notes with respect to the shares of Class A common stock issuable
upon conversion of the Notes or in payment of interest on the Notes pursuant to
a Registration Rights Agreement.

         On March 20, 2001, Mail.com completed a private placement of 3,000,000
shares of Class A common stock (the "Common Shares") to Federal Partners, L.P.
("Federal Partners") for an aggregate price of $3,000,000. Pursuant to the
Common Stock Purchase Agreement dated as of March 13, 2001 between Mail.com and
Federal Partners (the "Common Stock Purchase Agreement") and subject to the
effectiveness of a registration statement covering shares of Class A common
stock issuable upon conversion of certain Mail.com convertible notes, Mail.com
is obligated to issue an additional 1,000,000 shares of Class A common stock
(the "Adjustment Shares") to Federal Partners if the closing price of Mail.com's
Class A common stock is not at or above $10 per share for at least five
consecutive trading days during 2001.

                                      -1-


         Mail.com granted shelf and piggyback resale registration rights to
Federal Partners with respect to the Common Shares and the Adjustment Shares
pursuant to a Registration Rights Agreement.

         The net proceeds of the issuance of the Notes and Common Shares will be
used for working capital and other general corporate purposes.

         A copy of the Note Purchase Agreement, the Registration Rights
Agreement relating to shares of Class A common stock issuable upon conversion of
the Notes, the Common Stock Purchase Agreement and the Registration Rights
Agreement relating to the shares of Class A common stock issued or issuable
pursuant to the Common Stock Purchase Agreement are filed herewith as Exhibits
99.1, 99.2, 99.3 and 99.4 and are incorporated herein by reference.
