MMX (AIM: MMX), aka Minds + Machines, is offering its remaining shareholders 10.4 pence per share to surrender their equity in the firm.

The top level domain name firm sold its domain names to GoDaddy last year and is winding down its operations. Its remaining activities are essentially a support agreement with GoDaddy.

In October, MMX returned the bulk of the cash proceeds to shareholders in a tender offer at 9.6 pence per ordinary share.

MMX will return up to £19 million to shareholders in the fresh tender offer. The 10.4 pence price is a 26.1% premium to yesterday’s closing price. Shares are up over 10% today but are still trading at just over 9 pence each.

The firm plans to cancel trading its shares on the London AIM market as it winds down operations.
