Estimated solely for purposes of calculating the amount of the filing fee. The transaction valuation was calculated by (i) multiplying the offer price of $10.60 by 21,309,166 Shares, which is the sum of
(a) 19,287,957 outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (Shares), of Rightside Group, Ltd. (Rightside), (b) 772,896 Shares underlying outstanding in-the-money stock options exercisable under
Rightsides equity plans (the Options), and (c) 1,248,313 Shares underlying outstanding restricted stock units, and (ii) subtracting the aggregate exercise price of the Options. This calculation does not include any Shares
issuable upon exercise of the Companys outstanding warrants, as the exercise price per share for the warrants is greater than $10.60 per share. The warrants are therefore not expected to be exercised. The foregoing share figures and aggregate
exercise price have been provided by Rightside to the offeror and are as of June 23, 2017, the most recent practicable date.

The filing fee was calculated in accordance with Rule 0-11 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Fee Rate Advisory #1 for fiscal year 2017, issued August 31, 2016, by multiplying the transaction
value by 0.00011590.

This Amendment No. 5 (this
Amendment
) amends and supplements the Tender Offer
Statement on Schedule TO filed on June 27, 2017 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (together with any subsequent amendments and supplements thereto, the
Schedule TO
). The Schedule TO relates to the offer (the
Offer
) by DTS Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation (
Purchaser
) and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Donuts Inc., a Delaware corporation (
Parent
), to purchase all of the
outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the
Shares
), of Rightside Group, Ltd., a Delaware corporation (
Rightside
or the
Company
), at a price of
$10.60 per Share, net to the holder in cash, without interest, less any applicable withholding taxes, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase, dated June 27, 2017 (as it may be amended or supplemented,
the
Offer to Purchase
), and the related Letter of Transmittal (as it may be amended or supplemented, the
Letter of Transmittal
, and together with the Offer to Purchase, the
Offer
).
Except as otherwise indicated in this Amendment, the information set forth in the Schedule TO and its applicable
exhibits remains unchanged. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings ascribed to them in the Schedule TO (or applicable exhibit).
Item 11.
|
Additional Information.
|
Item 11 of the Schedule TO is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:
The information set forth in Section 16 Certain Legal Matters; Regulatory Approvals of the Offer to Purchase is hereby amended and
supplemented by deleting the last two sentences of the final paragraph, and adding the following immediately after the final paragraph:
On July 18,
2017, Susan Paskowitz, Rightside, Parent, Purchaser and the individual defendants named in the complaint entered into a memorandum of understanding (the MOU) regarding the settlement of the action described above. Pursuant to the MOU,
Rightside agreed to make available in Amendment No. 5 to Rightsides Schedule 14D-9 additional information to Rightside stockholders (the Supplemental Disclosures). The Supplemental Disclosures should be read in conjunction
with the Schedule 14D-9, and the documents incorporated by reference therein. Rightside, Parent, Purchaser and the individual defendants deny all of the allegations in the complaint, including any allegations asserting a violation of law, and
believe the disclosures in the Schedule 14D-9 are adequate. Nevertheless, Rightside, Parent, Purchaser and the other defendants have agreed to settle the lawsuit in order to avoid the costs, disruption, and distraction of further litigation.
The MOU states that within five business days of the expiration of the Offer, the parties to the lawsuit will file a stipulation of dismissal of the lawsuit
that will dismiss plaintiffs individual claims with prejudice, and will dismiss claims asserted on behalf of a purported class of Rightside shareholders without prejudice. The MOU provides for a release of plaintiffs individual claims
against the defendants and other released persons. The MOU contemplates that plaintiff may seek to have the United States District Court for the Western District of Washington determine the amount of plaintiffs counsels claim for a
mootness fee in connection with the dissemination of the Supplemental Disclosures, the fee to be paid by Rightside or its successor, and that the parties reserve all rights to make arguments for and against any such claim, including but
not limited to the amount requested.
