Top Level Domain Holdings Limited ("TLDH", the "Company" or "Group")
Minds+Machines works with .bayern
The Directors of Top Level Domain Holdings Limited (AIM:TLDH.L), the only publicly traded company focused exclusively on acquiring and operating new generic top-level domains ("gTLDs"), are pleased to announce that Bayern Connect GmbH, the German operating company in which TLDH has a majority holding, has been exclusively awarded the contract to apply for the .BAYERN gTLD string by the Bavarian State Government. Top Level Domain Holdings' wholly owned registry services company, Minds+Machines, will provide the back-end registry services for the proposed new domain. Revenue to the Company will be based on a share of the revenues generated by the domain.
Antony Van Couvering, CEO of Top Level Domain Holdings, commented: "We view .bayern as a very significant win for Bayern Connect and for TLDH. We are fully aware of the responsibility entrusted to us and plan to fully support Bayern Connect in its mission. Germany has 82 million inhabitants, 62 million internet users1 and 15 million domain2 names registered under .de. By comparison, Bavaria has 12.5 million inhabitants. We foresee a long and mutually profitable relationship with Bayern Connect and the people of Bavaria through this initiative."
Top Level Domain Holdings is currently supporting a portfolio of gTLD applications ranging from geographic applications, wholly-owned or joint venture applications for generic word based domains, and applications by third party clients where Top Level Domain's registry services company, Minds+Machines, provides the registry service.

Top Level Domain Holdings Limited ("TLDH", the "Company" or "Group")
gTLD Application Window Opens
The Directors of Top Level Domain Holdings Limited (AIM:TLDH.L), the only publicly traded company focused exclusively on acquiring and operating new generic top-level domains ("gTLDs"), are delighted to announce that the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers ("ICANN") has today formally opened the application window under which organisations can apply for the right to own and operate a new generic top level domain. The application window will remain open until 12 April 2012. Under ICANN's rules, applicants for new gTLDs must first purchase an application slot, or placeholder, for each application for US$5,000 each, which will then be deducted from the US$185,000 gTLD application fee.
To that end, the Directors are pleased to report that Top Level Domain Holdings will shortly be purchasing its first batch of twenty application slots for new gTLDs on behalf of itself and clients of Minds + Machines. This first tranche will include slots for client applications for geographic-based gTLDs and generic words. The Company expects to submit multiple batches for application slots during the application window.
Separately, the Directors are pleased to report that Minds + Machines has today been appointed as the registry services provider for DOT KIWI LIMITED, a New Zealand company that has publically stated it will apply for the ".kiwi" gTLD string. A proportion of DOT KIWI's domain revenue and profit will be donated to a trust established to help fund the reconstruction of the earthquake devastated city of Christchurch, New Zealand. Dot Kiwi joins other geographical, brand, and entrepreneurial clients from Africa, Asia, Europe, and North America that have chosen Minds + Machines, but who wish to keep their plans confidential.
Peter Dengate Thrush, Chairman of TLDH, commented: "This is a historic day in the Internet's evolution. It marks a new beginning for the domain name system, after a six-year process in which ICANN has successfully gained global consensus for the new gTLD programme through its multi-stakeholder model. We applaud the ICANN Board for having the strength to see this initiative across the line. We now look forward to playing our part in creating a vibrant new wave of innovation, consumer choice and wealth creation on the Internet as a result of the gTLD programme."

RNS Number : 1242U Top Level Domain Holdings Ltd 16 December 2011 For immediate release: 16 December 2011
Top Level Domain Holdings Limited ("TLDH", the "Company" or "Group") gTLD Programme Update
The Directors of Top Level Domain Holdings Limited (AIM:TLDH.L), the only publicly traded company focused exclusively on acquiring and operating new generic top-level domains ("gTLDs"), are pleased to announce that the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers ("ICANN") proposed timetable for applications for new generic top-level domains ("gTLDs") remains as previously announced.
The commencement of the application window on 12 January 2012 remains intact following the recent US Senate and House of Representative sub-committee hearings. The Directors of TLDH were also pleased to note that during the House of Representative sub-committee hearing on 14 December 2011, the head of the NTIA, the US Government department responsible for overseeing ICANN related issues, stated that the NTIA fully supports the multi-stakeholder model pioneered by ICANN and will not intervene to stop or delay the new gTLD programme.
As previously reported, the Company's subsidiary, Minds + Machines, is working with a wide number of gTLD applicants, including cities and regions, brand owners, organisations and entrepreneurs worldwide who have either issued request for proposals or who are in direct discussions with Minds + Machines. In addition, the Company continues to progress preparations for applications for gTLDs on its own behalf.
Antony Van Couvering, CEO of TLDH, commented:
"The US hearings have had the effect of galvanizing organisations into positive action. By extending the debate beyond the domain industry, a wider audience has been reached and they are now realising the need for urgent action now that the final perceived hurdles of the gTLD programme have been overcome. We are now seeing a significant uplift in interest in gTLDs from organisations of all sizes."

RNS Number : 9461S Top Level Domain Holdings Ltd 29 November 2011 For immediate release: 0700hrs 29 November 2011
Top Level Domain Holdings Limited ("TLDH", the "Company" or "Group") Update on gTLD Programme
Highlights * Client agreements now signed, or close to being finalized, in the US, Canada, South America, Asia, Africa and Europe; * Continued progress being made with the Company's own application bids; * TLDH seeing strong international interest in the gTLD programme; and * ICANN's timetable remains unchanged.
The Directors of Top Level Domain Holdings Limited (AIM:TLDH.L), the only publicly traded company focused exclusively on acquiring and operating new generic top-level domains ("gTLDs"), are pleased to provide an update on the business development activity of its registry services business, Minds+Machines and the progress of the new generic top-level domain ("gTLD") programme administered by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers ("ICANN").
Company Update Further to the announcement on 7 September 2011, the Directors are pleased to report that Minds+Machines continues to engage with a wide spectrum of gTLD applicants, including cities and regions, brand owners and entrepreneurs who have either issued request for proposals ("RFPs") or who are in direct discussions with Minds+Machines. To date, Minds+Machines has now signed, or is close to finalising, agreements with clients in the US, Canada, South America, Africa, Asia and Europe to represent them in the gTLD application process. For competitive reasons, the clients do not wish their names to be disclosed until after the application window has closed.
In addition, the Company continues to make good progress on preparing applications for gTLDs on its own behalf.
gTLD Market Update There continues to be growing world wide interest in the gTLD programme and a range of governments, businesses, and entrepreneurs have announced their intention to apply for new gTLDs in recent weeks. For competitive reasons, most applicants are unlikely to disclose their plans publicly at this stage. However, excluding the prospective applications being prepared by Minds+Machines for its clients and own account, the Directors are aware of globally recognised brands requesting information or issuing RFPs, as well as entrepreneurs searching for services for one or several applications. Over 100 named-bids have already been identified by market commentators as intending to apply (of which over 40 are cities or regions) and the Directors believe the industry wide applications which will be made during the application window will be a significant multiple of this.
ICANN gTLD Update The Directors are also pleased to report that ICANN's planned schedule for the new gTLD programme remains unchanged. The application window will open on 12 January 2012, and close on 12 April 2012. On 27April 2012, ICANN will announce which applicants have applied for which gTLDs (or strings), after which they will evaluate the applications according to the criteria established by international consensus in the Applicant Guidebook (see http://newgtlds.icann.org/applicants/agb). While the length of the evaluation period will depend on the volume of applications to be processed, the Directors estimate that the first new gTLDs will go live in late 2012 or early 2013.
In the past month, ICANN has provided a significant amount of information to prospective applicants and has made available a number of useful tools on its new web site devoted to new gTLDs (see http://newgtlds.icann.org), including a knowledgebase and FAQ devoted to the new gTLD programme (see http://www.icann.org/en/announcements/announcement-4-21nov11-en.htm). ICANN has also opened a customer assistance center and a demonstration version of their Top Level Domain Application System ("TAS"), which will be used by applicants to submit their applications (see http://newgtlds.icann.org/applicants/tas/demo).
Peter Dengate Thrush, Chairman of TLDH, commented:
"We are very pleased to see that there is now a ground swell of strong international interest in the newgTLDprogramme and we look forward to Minds+Machines submitting applications both for its clients and its own account when the application window opens early in January."
