"Top Level Domain Holdings (LON:TLDH) is going head-to-head with web giants Google and Amazon in an unprecedented internet land grab" “We believe the next 12 months will be a momentous time for the company as the real value from its portfolio of gTLDs emerges; we believe that value is substantially underestimated by the current share price,” Stormont concludes."

Top Level Domain Hdg

Private Auction and gTLD Program Update


RNS Number : 3922R

Top Level Domain Holdings Ltd

25 October 2013






For immediate release

25 October 2013



Top Level Domain Holdings Limited

("TLDH" or the "Company")



Private Auction and gTLD Program Update



· TLDH to realise US$4.81 million (£2.97 million) in cash from .website and .lawyer private auctions

· ICANN delegates first four gTLDs into the Internet's Root Zone

· Company well positioned for growth and acquisition of further gTLDs



The directors of Top Level Domain Holdings (AIM:TLDH) are delighted to announce that following the private auctions for .website and .lawyer, which concluded late on 23 October 2013, the Company will add £2.97 million (US$4.81 million) to its cash reserves. The amount includes proceeds from the two private auctions, net of commissions payable to the auctioneer, and refunds due from ICANN in relation to each of the two applications.



Separately, the directors are pleased to report that the first four gTLDs under ICANN's New gTLD Program have now been delegated into the Internet's Root Zone. As expected, the first four gTLDs to be delegated by ICANN are in non Roman scripts - شبكة. (Arabic for "web/network"),.онлайн (Cyrillic for "online"), .сайт (Cyrillic for "site") and .游戏(Chinese for "game(s)").



Following the receipt of cash from the latest round of private auctions, the Company will have cash reserves of £10.1 million - as well as access to up to a further US$15 million to compete in a single auction. The reserves will allow the Company to continue growing its portfolio of uncontested applications and move its portfolio to launch. TLDH's portfolio of uncontested applications in which it has interests remains at 25, 17 of which it wholly owns.



Fred Krueger, Chairman of TLDH, said:

"We are delighted with the result of the latest private auction rounds. Our strategy remains to best monetise those applications where we see least value so that we can maximise our ability to acquire those names in which we see greatest value. We very much look forward to competing in the next private auction rounds. We are additionally delighted with the speed with which the first four gTLDs have moved from contract signing to delegation. This is a momentous point in the Internet's development and means there is a strong probability that our portfolio will move to cash generative positions within the time-frames previously indicated."

WAKEFIELD, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--As the Internet faces a historic transformation with hundreds of new domain names coming online, an international nonprofit organization has been created to promote the interests of the domain name industry by advocating the use, adoption, and expansion of domain names as the primary tool for users to navigate the Internet.


“The domain name industry sorely lacks a vocal advocacy body that is prepared to fight for our commercial interests, and this is the gap the Domain Name Association is going to fill as the first-ever domain name industry trade group”

The Domain Name Association (DNA), launched today by companies active in the Internet sector, will educate Internet users around the world about the benefits of domain names, with a specific focus on the imminent introduction of new Top-Level Domains which will revolutionize the way we navigate the Internet. The DNA will develop educational resources and campaigns to prepare users for these changes and support the success of the new domains.

Membership is open to organizations involved in all aspects of managing domain names, including domain name registries, registrars, resellers, and registry service providers. Founding members serving on an Interim Board include ARI Registry Services, Demand Media, Donuts, FairWinds Partners, Go Daddy, Google, Momentous, United TLD, and WhatBox?. DomainsBot Inc., Minds + Machines, and RightOfTheDot, LLC are also Founding members.

The DNA aims to play a key role in helping individuals, businesses, and public-benefit organizations understand the benefits and take advantage of the upcoming expansion of Internet domains. It will also promote, advance, and support the common interests of the domain name industry with respect to provisioning, expanded adoption, and use of domain names.

"The domain name industry sorely lacks a vocal advocacy body that is prepared to fight for our commercial interests, and this is the gap the Domain Name Association is going to fill as the first-ever domain name industry trade group," said Adrian Kinderis, Chair of the Interim Board of the DNA.

"As such, we are ideally placed to help Internet users learn about the upcoming new Top-Level Domains and to help them navigate the changing Internet landscape. We will also work to build trust, exchange ideas, educate, and raise awareness of domain related issues within the industry, and we invite all stakeholders in the domain name industry to join the DNA and work together in support of our shared objectives."

The DNA's first priority will be to educate Internet users around the world about new Top-Level Domains. Many Internet users are unaware that these changes are coming and they may be confused when they first arrive. The DNA is already working to develop educational resources and campaigns to prepare end users for these changes and ensure the success of the new domains. An example of the group's efforts is the informative website whatdomain.org, an educational resource about the new Top-Level Domain program.

DNA membership is organized as a multi-tiered structure that accommodates various levels of interest and desire for participation in the work of the DNA. More information is available on the DNA website.

Industry participants are invited to join the DNA to collaborate with peers to promote and ensure mutual success through a period of major change. DNA membership will solidify a company's role as a critical player in the next phase of the growth of the Internet, with the opportunity to influence important industry policy decisions. Members can also leverage the DNA’s marketing and education programs in their own activities, and they will receive exclusive information via newsletters and bulletins, as well as access to research results.

& this imo still under estimates true value potential here......................

As posted on another forum

"I've actually had ongoing communication with Company representatives in an effort to more fully understand the business and revenue expectations associated with the stock.

It's important to point out that many of the parameters used are grossly understated, but sufficient at pointing out the upside potential here. I actually believe the real outcome could be Multiples of the calculated figure.

The following are my own relatively crude calculations to demonstrate the real ball park expectations, utilising very conservative parameters in arriving at the expected price targets.

The current rule of thumb is that the number of Domains per population is 20% (figure supplied by TLDH). ie if a country or city has 20Million inhabitants, then you would expect 4 Million Domains at the lower end of Internet penetration. I'll be utilizing the lower end figures to give a low end, conservative calculation.

London 8.2M population (client) - $3.28M ($2 fee)
Miami (Metropolitan Area) 5.5M population (client) - $2.2M ($2 fee)
Budapest (Metropolitan Area) 2.6M population (100% ownership) - $5.2M ($10 domain sale)
NRW Germany 18M poulation (majority owned assuming a bottom end 51% share) - $18.36M ($10)

Total – $29M

Again, If we make a (very) conservative assumption of 3M total domains sold to a Global market from all those won at the low end *$10 per domain & 34.3M Geographic domains with a $2 recurring fee structure for 'client' arrangements & $10 on 100% ownership on the low end 20% penetration)

(3M x 10 = $30M) + ($29M) = $59M

That's an annual recurring revenue of circa £36.87M (using a £1 = $1.6 conversion rate)

Applying a multiple of 20 would give us £737M

Dividing that by 650M shares gives us £1.13 price per share"

more blue today - I would not want to be out of tldh this weekend with so much news imminent!! personally I don't take any notice of rhps but for those who do update last night :

'Upgrade from RHPS TONIGHT "Finally, Top Level Domain Holdings (TLDH) has caught fire in the last month, rising from 5p to the current 14p on huge volume. Our limit was 8p which is removed and they also become a STRAIGHT BUY. I think there is a great deal more to come from that stock."

50p+ here we come probably by year end or earlier perhaps

BREAKOUT from the Intraday high is very close now, has been strong as the Golden Cross is on ( 50 days MA crossing up the 200 days MA )
