The words "Buyout News: GoDaddy purchases MMX, .Club, .Design" on a yellow and blue background

Shareholders in MMX (aka Minds + Machines) voted today to approve a sale of the firm’s assets to GoDaddy.

The decision is not a surprise; MMX by now stated it had enough votes to approve the sale.

Further approvals are needed to complete the deal, counting Chinese government approval for the change of control of MMX China and a number of third-party approvals related to individual top level domains.

Once completed, GoDaddy will be the registry for 28 top level domain names counting .VIP, . work and .XXX.

The deal was disclosed earlier this month along with acquisitions of .design and .club.
