Rightside Group, Ltd. (NASDAQ:NAME) and Donuts Inc. today announced
that the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers
(ICANN) gave Rightside and Donuts notice on July 15, 2017 of
ICANN’s express consent to the transactions contemplated by the
merger agreement (the “Transactions”) among Donuts, DTS Sub Inc., a
wholly owned subsidiary of Donuts, and Rightside, which
Transactions include the previously announced tender offer by DTS
Sub Inc. to purchase all issued and outstanding shares of Rightside
common stock.
Together with the advance notice provided by Rightside (on
behalf of itself and its subsidiaries) of the Transactions and the
related change of control to ICANN on June 14, 2017, ICANN’s
express consent to the Transactions with respect to Rightside and
its applicable subsidiaries satisfies one of the conditions to the
tender offer. The completion of the tender offer is conditioned
upon the valid tender (without withdrawal) of at least a majority
of the issued and outstanding shares of Rightside common stock (as
calculated in the offer), as well as other important conditions
specified in the Schedule TO filed by Donuts with the Securities
and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on June 27, 2017. The tender
offer is scheduled to expire at 12:00 midnight, New York City time,
on July 26, 2017 (one minute after 11:59 p.m., New York City time,
on July 26, 2017), unless extended in accordance with applicable
SEC rules and the terms of the merger agreement among Donuts, DTS
Sub Inc. and Rightside.
