Minds + Machines Group Limited

.work update

 

Minds + Machines Group Limited (LSE:MMX), the publicly quoted owner and operator of Internet top-level domains, is pleased to announce that registrations within .work have now passed 55,000 positioning it in the top 20 of new top-level domains launched under ICANN's new gTLD programme.

 

The Company is also pleased to report the sale of the Premium Name "net.work" for US$100,000 (£62,500) as a result of the Group's direct sales team activity. The price charged is for the first year usage, a significant annual renewal fee then applies.

 

In total, over 430 Premium Names have been sold in the .work domain to date.

 

Antony Van Couvering, CEO of Minds + Machines, commented:

"We are very pleased with the traction our pricing strategy is having in the market for broad generic names such as .work with low-cost incentives driving volume and high-value/lower volume premium names driving revenue. We will look to continue building on this momentum across our portfolio."

 

During the month of June, Minds + Machines ran a heavily discounted promotion on .work through the registrar channel.

 

Separately, the Company operates a direct sales programme for its significant portfolio of Premium Names. Under the programme, Minds + Machines' portfolio of Premium Names is segmented into eight tiers with Minds +Machines' direct sales teams focused on selling those names of higher value.
