Posted at 21/2/2014 07:50 by spiritfinder David Weill, one of the Founders of TLDH conveyed the following overview this morning."No need to get caught up in this reporting of trades issue and I personally do not believe that it is any conspiracy - the market makers are nice young men doing their job and creating liquidity by matching trades and that is what they get paid for. I do not believe that they run any large positions for their own book. My own analysis based on the flows that we have seen is that to mind there is still pent up demand from the placing that did not get satisfied and that is why we are already 30% up from the level that they purchased. Needless to say that is the highest compliment that the company can be paid as it shows real confidence from the investor community that they are willing to aggressively buy shares. It looks like a test of 20p is in store for us soon in my opinion. There seems to be rag tag amounts of 50-100k lots going through but there aren't any big offers in the millions that I can see. That implies the share price will get marked up on the marginal purchase which is good news. With time we should see a movement in the share price to a more realistic valuation of the company which is where I think that it should be at this stage of its development which is around 45p." He's stated that eventually, this should command a multi billion dollar mkt cap, based on the Company's own proje tions, hence with a view to their own expectations regarding Takeover starting points. |
Posted at 17/2/2014 08:43 by johnma Top Level Domain Holdings (TLDH.L) CORPORATE FTSE AIM .LONDON Launch Dot London Domains Ltd, the subsidiary of London & Partners, the official promotional organisation of the Mayor's office, announced that .LONDON will be launched on the 29th of April. This is an exciting time for TLDH as .LONDON is one of the key assets in its portfolio of 25 uncontested, generic top-level domains in which it has an economic interest in. A YouGov survey has shown over 200,000 small businesses are likely to register. TLDH also has a "seat at the table" for 43 contested names and we expect a good proportion of these to be settled by private auctions over the next few months. With the recent £21m fund raising, TLDH is in a strong position to further enhance its portfolio. April 29 Launch Date for .LONDON TLDH's client, Dot London Domains Ltd, has today announced that .LONDON will begin taking registrations on 29 April 2013, marking the formal launch of the .LONDON domain. This is an exciting time for TLDH, with .LONDON being one of the most attractive of the 25 uncontested, generic, top-level domains it has an economic interest in. TLDH also has a "seat at the table" for 43 contested TLDs which will be settled over the next few months either through deals, private auctions (losing bidders split the winning bid) or as a last resort, ICANN auctions. Over 200,000 Small Businesses Likely to Register A YouGov research commissioned by London & Partners, the Mayor's official promotional organisation for London, shows that over a quarter of London's 840,000 small businesses are likely to apply for an address in the .LONDON domain. Interestingly, of these 41% said a .LONDON web address would help customers find them more easily and 27% said it would help them generate more sales. Registrars have confirmed the high levels of interest in .LONDON based on registrations of interest received thus far. 3-Month Priority Period As part of the launch programme, London-based businesses and Londoners will be given an initial three-month priority period in which to pre-register domain names. During the same period, trademark holders registered in ICANN's Trademark Clearinghouse, will also be able to submit a claim for their associated address (es) for their trademark. News Flow Over Next Few Months to Remain Exciting The internet landscape will be going through a sea-change with new internet endings such as .london, .app, and .music to be launched, challenging the .com dominance. It has taken years to get to this stage but the programme is now in full flow and with TLDH being one of the largest applicants together with Google, Amazon, and Donuts, we believe they are strongly positioned. We expect the news flow over the next few months on private auctions, launch dates, customer registrations to drive a better understanding of the value of TLDH's portfolio. |
Posted at 08/2/2014 05:45 by johnma Top Level Domain Holdings (LON:TLDH) is one of the companies behind the International Rugby Board's (IRB) application to control the .RUGBY top level domain (TLD).On Friday, the IRB saw two competing applications to control the .RUGBY TLD dismissed by the International Chamber of Commerce.What this means, in effect, is that if rugby league team Wigan wants to set up a web site called www.wiganwarriors.ru |
Posted at 05/2/2014 16:20 by nickg2 Stumbled across this from just after their recent placing:-"It is rare that a placing done at a discount prompts the share price racing higher, but that's what's happened with Top Level Domain Holdings (LON:TLDH). In late morning trading, shares were up 1.3p to 14.05p, more than 2p above the price of the placing. Investors appear to have got the message espoused by the company's house broker, N+1 Singer, that there is considerable upside potential for shareholders. "The old world dominated by Verisign (registry in charge of .com) and GoDaddy (largest registrar i.e. retailer of domain names) is about to be disrupted by new players that include Google and Amazon. TLDH, one of the two largest independent players, offers a unique exposure to this market where we believe considerable value for shareholders can be created," said N+1 Singer's technology specialist, Tintin Stormont." |
Posted at 04/2/2014 10:02 by ftangftang some recent relevant info for anyone new to TLDHcheers ft ft TLDH Announces Raising $34m, Board Changes And gTLD Update TLDH logoTop Level Domain Holdings, the applicant for the fourth largest number of gTLDs (92) for both itself and clients, has announced it has conditionally raised £21 million (approximately US$33.6 million) from institutional and other investors to develop its services and contest gTLD auctions. In addition it announced Tucows' Elliot Noss has joined the board, replacing Guy Elliott, and given an update on the status of all of its applications. In the gTLD update, TLDH currently has interests in 24 uncontested gTLD applications, which it is progressing to operational launch through its wholly-owned registry services business, Minds + Machines Limited. It is also developing its global network of registrars through which names in the new domains can be sold to the public. For more information on the above and other issues, see the TLDH announcement below: Placing to raise £21 million; Board Changes Highlights £21 million (approximately US$33.6 million) conditionally raised from institutional and other investors Cash balances on completion in excess of approximately US$48 million with an additional US$15 million available to compete in a single private auction Elliot Noss, President and CEO of Tucows, Inc (NASDAQ:TCX) to join Board as a non-executive director Company to be re-named Minds + Machines Limited to reflect transition to a full operating business Placing The Board of Top Level Domain Holdings Limited, is delighted to announce that the Company has today conditionally placed 175,000,000 new ordinary shares (the "Ordinary Shares") through N+1 Singer as broker to the Company at a placing price of 12p per Ordinary Share (the "Placing Price") with institutional and other investors to raise £21 million before expenses (equivalent to approximately US$33.6 million at current exchange rates) subject to admission (the "Placing"). The Company intends to use the Placing proceeds to continue developing its registry and registrar operations, Minds + Machines LLC and Minds + Machines Registrar Limited, as well as to provide additional funding for participation in the relevant private auction rounds for the 43 contested generic top-level domain ("gTLD") applications in which TLDH has an interest. The Company believes private auctions provide a significant opportunity for the Company both to increase the number of high-value gTLDs within its portfolio and to generate cash from those gTLDs which it chooses to relinquish. Under the private auction process, the winning bid is divided equally and paid to the losing applicants net of the auctioneer's fees. The new Ordinary Shares being issued pursuant to the Placing will, on issue, rank pari passu with the existing Ordinary Shares in issue and application will be made for the new Ordinary Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM. Trading in the new Ordinary Shares on AIM is expected to commence on or around 5 February 2014. Status of Operations and Available Cash TLDH was the fourth largest new gTLD programme applicant after Donuts, Inc., Google, Inc., and Amazon, Inc. having submitted 92 new gTLD applications on behalf of itself and its clients in 2012. TLDH has subsequently established itself as one of the major participants in the Internet governing body's new gTLD programme and currently has interests in 24 uncontested gTLD applications, which it is progressing to operational launch through its wholly-owned registry services business, Minds + Machines Limited. TLDH is also developing its global network of registrars through which names in the new domains can be sold to the public. The Company is further extending its sales channel reach through the recent launch of its wholly-owned registrar business, Minds + Machines Registrar Limited, and priority reservation service, OPENdb. Launched in November 2013, the industry and consumer interest in priority reservations continues to be strong. TLDH also has a further 43 wholly-owned new gTLD applications which are in contention with one or more applicants for the following strings: .app .art .baby .beauty .blog .book .cloud .coupon .cpa .cricket .data .dds .deals .design .dog .eco .fashion .flowers .garden .gay .green .home .hotel .immo .inc .latino .law .llc .love .pizza .property .realestate .restaurant .school .site .soccer .store .style .tech .video .vip .wedding .yoga As indicated above, the Company intends to use the Placing proceeds to provide additional funding for participation in the relevant private auction rounds for the contested generic top-level domain ("gTLD") applications in which TLDH has an interest. On completion of the Placing, the Company's cash balances will increase to in excess of US$48 million (approximately £30 million). In addition, as previously announced, the Company also has a funding facility in place for up to US$15 million (equivalent to approximately £9.4 million) to support its participation in a single prospective auction for one contested gTLD. The Directors therefore believe the Company is now very well positioned to participate fully in the auctions and maximise the value of the contested gTLD applications in which the Company is interested. In addition, the Company has an interest in a further 10 contested applications listed below, seven of which are third party client applications and three of which are joint venture applications with the Federation Internationale de Basketball (.basketball), the International Rugby Board (.yogarugby) and Tucows, Inc. (.yogagroup). .basketball .broadway .casino .group .music .poker .radio .rugby .tickets .tube Board Changes As part of the Company's impending transition from an investment company to a full operating business, the Board is also delighted to announce that, subject to the satisfactory completion of standard regulatory checks in compliance with the AIM Rules, Mr Elliot Noss has agreed to join the Board of TLDH as a non-executive director. Mr Noss is President and CEO of Tucows, Inc, one of the largest domain registrars. Mr Guy Elliott will at the same time step down from the Board. Mr Elliott was a founding director of the Company and has played a key role in the development of the Company's portfolio of gTLD investments. Fred Krueger, Chairman of TLDH, commented: On behalf of the Board I would like to personally thank Guy for his wise counsel and support over the years and we wish him well on his other projects. We are likewise delighted that Elliot Noss has accepted our invitation to join the Board as a non-executive director at this key time in our development. Elliot is a highly regarded and respected individual within the domain industry and we welcome the additional commercial and operational perspectives he can bring as we continue to build our registry and registrar operations and commence the commercial launch our gTLDs. We are also exceptionally pleased by the level of interest from institutions to the placing which has exceeded our expectations. Proposed Change of Name, Transition to an Operating Business and Re-Admission The Company is now fully focused on commercialising its gTLD assets through its registry, registrar and registry service provider operations. As a result, the Board intends to implement fully a number of changes to the way in which TLDH is managed which will have the effect of changing the status of the Company from an investing company under the AIM Rules to an operating company with a material trading activity. As part of this transition, the Directors intend to change the name of the Company to Minds + Machines Limited, the same name as the Company's 100 per cent. owned subsidiaries, operating in Ireland and the United Kingdom. The Directors believe the change of name will benefit stakeholder communications and branding significantly. The change to an operating company with a material trading activity would be classified as reverse takeover of the Company under the AIM Rules and therefore would be conditional, inter alia, upon the approval of Shareholders at the Meeting of Shareholders. The Company is at an advanced stage of preparation of a circular to shareholders and a further announcement is expected to be made during February. Total Voting Rights Following the issue of the new Ordinary Shares, the Company's issued share capital will consist of 825,558,522 Ordinary Shares, with voting rights. This figure may be used by shareholders in the Company as the denominator for the calculation by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, the share capital of the Company under the Financial Conduct Authority's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.

Posted at 31/1/2014 16:04 by johnma January 31 2014, 11:30am There is an immediate opportunity to enhance the portfolio and realise cash, N+1 Singer saidIt is rare that a placing done at a discount prompts the share price racing higher, but that's what's happened with Top Level Domain Holdings (LON:TLDH).In late morning trading, shares were up 1.3p to 14.05p, more than 2p above the price of the placing.Funds from the share issue will top up the company's war chest ahead of a round of auctions for generic top level domains (gTLDs), such as .blog, .restaurant and .soccer.Investors appear to have got the message espoused by the company's house broker, N+1 Singer, that there is considerable upside potential for shareholders."The old world dominated by Verisign (registry in charge of .com) and GoDaddy (largest registrar i.e. retailer of domain names) is about to be disrupted by new players that include Google and Amazon. TLDH, one of the two largest independent players, offers a unique exposure to this market where we believe considerable value for shareholders can be created," said N+1 Singer's technology specialist, Tintin Stormont.In all, Top Level Domain Holdings soon to change its name to Minds + Machines is contesting 43 auctions for gTLDs, while it has 24 uncontested applications for gTLDs, most of which have now received approval from the internet's governing body, ICANN."An analysis of its current portfolio (largely DCF-based) suggest to us a value of c24p is not unreasonable (18.1p for uncontested names, 2.0p for contested names, and 3.8p for cash) and we believe there is upside to this if it can enhance its portfolio further," Stormont said.The change in name to Minds + Machines, a brand under which the company has been operating for some time, marks the evolution of the company from an investment firm to an operational company, as it will start to act, in the words of company boss Antony Van Couvering, as a 'wholesaler' of the gTLDs it controls to internet domain name registration companies.Internet domain names need to be renewed regularly, while companies need to protect their brands to prevent opportunistic "cyber-squatting", so acting as gatekeeper to gTLDs should provide a steady income for the company.Brand owners may grumble about having to register a new batch of domain names, but as Van Couvering told Proactive Investors: "It is part of the cost of having a good brand name that you have to defend it."Meanwhile, Stormont noted: "For those TLDs it secures (and it already has 24 uncontested ones), the model is highly attractive, with long-term annuity revenue streams and LT EBIT [long term earnings before interest and tax] margins in excess of 50%,"The share price reaction certainly suggests investors are cognisant of the opportunities offered by the massive expansion in the number of gTLDs available, and from Top Level Domain Holdings' point of view, the good news is that it is too late for other companies to gate-crash the party; applications to acquire the gTLDs had to be in by January 2012.At some point in the future there may be another wave of gTLDs made available, but van Couvering said he does not see this happening for another five-to-seven years. |
Posted at 31/1/2014 07:47 by spiritfinder "This is what I wrote around the 1st Jan 2014There's been various discussions about TLDH going for .BLOG & .APP but the concensus seems to be that those particular gTLDs will be secured at a premium price beyond the resources available to the Company. We obviously have the $15M allocated for one specific domain, again the speculation being that the external interested party may be Yahoo protecting its interests in Tumblr, which currently runs over 163 Million Blogs! TLDH have a very clever strategy in place establishing itself in the Registry AND Registrar markets, with the advantage of the OPEN Platform (we can expect further update on that from the initial positive indications already given). On that basis they're looking to challenge GoDaddy, 1and1 etc in the new gTLD Registrar space focus with the additional Revenue stream from OPEN. The focus on the GEOS also looks to have been an excellent strategic move, especially given the high profile contracts secured, especially the 80% ownership of NWR - revenues from that should even dwarf .LONDON. From that perspective alone, we have an excellent platform for Growth off the launch of the new gTLDs going into 2014. However, what I'd like to see is the Company securing additional cash resources to be able to realistically bid for both .BLOG & .APP. We're in a 'land grab' situation where once those particular Domains are gone, the party securing them will be able to capitalise on potentially Massive recurring revenues. The growth projections there are pretty astronomical as many will obviously be aware. For me, an ideal scenario would be the allocation of limited stock to specific Institutions to secure further resources, in addition to that which should be made available from the Private Auction process. That would be a Major boost for the Company going forward & its Share Price. At the moment I have every confidence of the previous calculated Share Price levels in the 100-200p range being reached - with .BLOG and / or .APP, the additional revenues & Takeover premium, people can make their own conclusions on the price trajectory! That's what I'd like to see - in some ways, it can be more about the domains you dont win as far as the Private Auction bidding system goes. Additional cash resources would give TLDH a more realistic chance of going for .APP / .BLOG. If they lost, which I accept is still the more likely outcome, there'd be greater resources available for alternative domains & promo. Institutions would be buying in to the already excellent investment case beyond .APP / BLOG specifically. Again, that's what I'd like to see happen -the Management of have shown themselves to be particularly astute in positioning TLDH in a top tier position in the sector." |
Posted at 28/1/2014 20:37 by spiritfinder Good article and reinforces the views discussed here that Google & Amazon will go down the Applicant Auction route for contested Domains. Bear in mind Donuts initially articulated reliance on the Icaan auctions also but are active in the applicant auctions now!" ICANN has not yet even settled on the rules for its auctions, expects all auctions to take more than a year to complete (from whence they ever begin), and has no idea how it will spend the auction proceeds. Thus, at first blush, it surely seems silly to wait to participate in an ICANN auction." " At least one public company (TLDH) and two well-funded portfolio applicants (Donuts and Radix) have participated in these auctions..." "Given the obvious advantages of true private auctions, compared to ICANN's unsettled but surely rigid plan, it seems likely that NEARLY ALL gTLD contention sets will be resolved prior to ICANN's "mechanism of last resort." hxxp://www.circleid. Google & Amazons inclusion in such should majorly impact any strategy TLDH may have, to increase the amount of distribution into its coffers from strategic participation in high Cash return Domains! Bullish signs in the Share Price today as we saw an increase in the actual Bid price as Buyers start to re-enter the stock & with confirmation of the next Applicant Auction date (leading soon therafter into .London of course). The share price about to undergo a strong reversal of its recent downward slippage imho. Gla |
Posted at 14/1/2014 07:04 by nickg2 Top Level Domain Holdings Ltd Portfolio updateTIDMTLDHRNS Number : 5542XTop Level Domain Holdings Ltd14 January 2014For immediate release14 January 2014Top Level Domain Holdings Limited("TLDH", the "Company" or "Group")gTLD Portfolio UpdateThe Directors of Top Level Domain Holdings (AIM: TLDH) are pleased to provide an update on the progress of its uncontested gTLD applications, Minds + Machines' OPEN Priority Reservation programme and the private auction process.Progress of uncontested TLDH and client applicationsOf the 24 uncontested applications in which TLDH has an interest, the Company is delighted to confirm that contracts have now been exchanged with ICANN on seventeen - fifteen of which are wholly/majority owned by TLDH, with the remaining two being client-led applications.The fifteen TLDH wholly/majority owned applications where contracts have now been signed and exchanged with ICANN are: .FISHING, .CASA, .BUDAPEST, .VODKA, .RODEO, .WORK, .MIAMI, .COOKING, .HORSE, .LUXE, .NRW, .COUNTRY, .BAYERN, .BEER, and .SURF. Of these, .FISHING, .CASA, .BUDAPEST, .COOKING, and .HORSE have already passed pre-delegation testing ("PDT").The directors are confident that all of its uncontested portfolio will continue to move smoothly through the PDT and final approval phases ahead of delegation into the Internet's root zone.Meanwhile, TLDH's portfolio of uncontested client-led applications continues to progress well with .KIWI now delegated into the Internet's root and scheduled to start its Sunrise later in January. The Sunrise is the 30-60 day period where trademark owners can claim their name within a new gTLD ahead of the public launch of a new top level domain.Priority Reservation PlatformFurther to the announcement of 18 December, reservations for TLDH's wholly-owned domains .CASA, .COOKING, and .HORSE via the Company's OPEN Priority Reservation platform continues to be strong, as have early sales of PeopleBrowsr's .CEO and .BEST names which are also available through Minds + Machines OPEN service. To date, 17 registrars from around the world have signed Registry-Registrar Agreements ("RRAs") with TLDH enabling them to market/sell names to consumers within TLDH owned domains when launched; in addition 11 registrars have agreed to implement Minds + Machines' Priority Reservation service thereby extending its marketing reach.Private and ICANN Auction UpdateAs previously announced, the directors fully expect TLDH to participate in the upcoming private auctions for the 43 contested strings in which it has an interest as and when they occur.The Board also notes ICANN has recently published a preliminary schedule for potential ICANN sponsored auctions for contested strings on which ICANN is seeking comment ( The Board believes this development should provide further stimulus to those applicants not wishing to go down the ICANN auction route to resolve contention issues in a timely manner and enable the Company to take a more strategic view on those applications that advance to the ICANN auction rounds.Antony Van Couvering, Group CEO, commented:"We have an exceptionally strong portfolio of uncontested applications already in place, the first of which are now entering their respective launch phases. We likewise are gathering significant market insights through our OPEN platform which in turn is enabling us to better understand the potential value of our contested gTLDs. We therefore look forward to advancing our contested portfolio in a manner that best returns value to our shareholders."Furthe |
