TOP LEVEL DOMAIN HOLDINGS LIMITED

("TLDH" or the "Company")

 

gTLD portfolio update:

Uncontested applications increase to 23

 

The Directors of Top Level Domain Holdings (AIM: TLDH) are pleased to announce that the Company has resolved the contention for three of its gTLD applications - .fit, .science, and .review -following an agreement with gTLD investor Domain Venture Partners PCC Limited and its associates Platinum Registry Limited, dot Science Limited, dot Review Limited and Famous Four Media Limited. Each of TLDH's applications for the three gTLD strings in question were in contention with single competing applications by entities managed by Famous Four Media Limited.

 

As a result of the agreement, Platinum Registry Limited has withdrawn its application for .fit, leaving TLDH as the only applicant, and TLDH has withdrawn its applications for .science and .review in exchange for a revenue share in the .review registry to be operated by dot Review Limited.

 

TLDH now has interests in 23 uncontested applications, including 15 wholly/majority owned applications, 6 where it is acting as the registry service provider for client applications, 1 equal joint venture, and 1 where it will receive a minority revenue share. Of the remaining 63 applications which TLDH either wholly-owns, is a joint-venture partner, or is acting as the registry service provider, 7 are in contention with a single other applicant, 17 with two other applicants and 39 are in contention with three or more applicants.

 

Fred Krueger, chairman of TLDH, commented:

 

"We are highly encouraged by the progress being made in resolving those applications where there are one or more rival applications to our bid. We are well positioned for any private auction process that may arise for those strings that cannot be resolved through private discussion with competing applicants."
