Item 8. Additional Information.

The section of Item 8 captioned “ICANN Approval” is hereby amended and restated as follows:

ICANN Approval. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, the consummation of the Offer is conditioned on, among other things, the Company providing applicable advance notice to the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (“ICANN”), and ICANN not having expressly denied or withheld its consent to the transaction by the applicable time periods set forth in the Company’s registry agreements with ICANN. On June 14, 2017 the Company provided the applicable advance notice to ICANN, and the Company and Parent received notice of ICANN’s express consent to the transactions on July 15, 2017. Accordingly, the condition to the Offer relating to ICANN not expressly denying or expressly withholding its consent to transaction has been satisfied.
