Item 1.01 (Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement)

Amendment to Credit Facility

On February 27, 2006, the Company and its subsidiary EasyLink Services USA, Inc.
entered into an amendment to their credit agreement with Wells Fargo Foothill,
Inc.

Under the amendment, the Company has agreed, among other things, to repay an
aggregate of approximately $4 million of advances and term loan through May 1,
2006 in exchange for reduced minimum levels of EBITDA that are required under
the credit agreement and a reduction in certain fees payable under the
agreement. The Company intends to meet this repayment obligation through a
combination of cash from operations and external debt and/or equity financing.
It is currently working towards obtaining the financing and has committed to
obtain a letter of intent by March 15, 2006.

The form of the amendment is included in this filing as Exhibit 10.1 and is
incorporated by reference herein. The foregoing summary of the terms of the
amendment is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to
Exhibit 10.1 to this filing.

Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On February 28, 2006, EasyLink Services Corporation (the "Company" or
"EasyLink") issued a press release relating to its financial results for the
fourth quarter and full year ending December 31, 2005. A copy of the press
release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

The information furnished under Item 2.02 and Exhibit 99.1 shall not be deemed
to be "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that Section and shall not be deemed
to be incorporated by reference into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933
or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 unless specifically incorporated by
reference in such filing.

Item 3.03 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or
Standard; Transfer of Listing

On February 22, 2006, EasyLink received notice from NASDAQ that it has
determined that EasyLink is entitled to the additional 180 day grace period to
regain compliance with NASDAQ's $1 minimum bid price requirement. As a result of
the determination, EasyLink will have until August 21, 2006 to comply with the
$1.00 minimum closing bid price requirement on the Nasdaq Capital Market. The
Company may regain compliance with the minimum bid price rule if, at any time
before August 21, 2006, the bid price of its common stock closes at $1.00 per
share or more for a minimum of ten consecutive trading days. The NASDAQ staff
may, in its discretion, require the Company to maintain a bid price of at least
$1.00 per share for a period in excess of ten consecutive business days (but
generally no more than 20 consecutive business days) before determining that the
Company has demonstrated the ability to maintain long-term compliance.
