Top Level Domain Holdings Limited

("TLDH" or the "Company")

 

Portfolio Update: .KIWI Passes Pre-delegation

 

The Directors of Top Level Domain Holdings (AIM:TLDH) are delighted to announce that its client, Dot Kiwi Limited, the owner of the top-level domain .KIWI, has passed the pre-delegation testing mandated by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers ("ICANN"). The next and final step will be the insertion of .KIWI into the root zone of the Internet, at which point .KIWI will be live and operational. The technical infrastructure for .KIWI is operated by Minds + Machines, TLDH's wholly-owned subsidiary.

 

The infrastructure tested for .KIWI is the same for most of the top-level domains operated by Minds + Machines and accordingly, the Directors now fully expect all of the Company's top-level domain applications using that infrastructure to pass pre-delegation testing and proceed smoothly to delegation.

 

Antony Van Couvering, CEO of TLDH, said:

"This is a moment for congratulating .KIWI, to recognize the hard work they have done, and to celebrate their imminent entry into the fraternity of operational top-level domains. We wish .KIWI the very best and look forward to the same results for our own top-level domains."

 

Tim Johnson, CEO of Dot Kiwi Limited, said:

"We are thrilled to be just one short step away from going live. The Minds + Machines team have been instrumental in our preparations to date, and we look forward to their ongoing expertise in making .KIWI a global success."
