gTLD update

For Immediate Release 4 March 2013

Top Level Domain Holdings Limited

("TLDH" or the "Company")

gTLD Update

·; ICANN String Similarity results released;

·; No TLDH or client strings affected;

·; Company and clients now have 22 uncontested strings.

The Board of TLDH (AIM: TLDH.L) is delighted to announce that ICANN's String Similarity Panel has determined that none of the strings for which it is the sole applicant will be placed in contention sets with other strings. In particular, the panel has ruled that TLDH's application for .work does not conflict with another application for ".works", and hence has a clear path to approval and delegation.

As a result the Company and its clients now have 22 uncontested strings, the Company having removed .work from its original list of uncontested strings in its Interim statement.

Fred Krueger, Chairman, said:

"We are very pleased with the results of the String Similarity Panel - in particular in relation to .work. We believe that the .work TLD will appeal to companies who are hiring staff and to individuals seeking employment. The string is short, memorable and ideal for career pages, resumés, service providers and many other uses."
