Item 2.02Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
On November 9, 2015, Rightside Group, Ltd. (“Rightside”) issued a press release announcing financial results for its fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2015. The full text of Rightside’s press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference herein.
The information in this Form 8-K and Exhibit 99.1 attached hereto shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and is not incorporated by reference into any filing of Rightside, whether made before or after the date hereof, regardless of any general incorporation language in such filing.
Rightside makes reference to certain non-GAAP financial measures in the press release and will make reference to these same measures in its related earnings conference call. A reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures is contained in the attached press release.
Item 5.02Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On November 5, 2015, Shawn Colo tendered his resignation, effective November 9, 2015, as a director of Rightside in order to pursue other opportunities. His resignation was not as a result of any disagreement with Rightside relating to its operations, policies or practices. In recognition of Mr. Colo’s services to the company, Rightside accelerated the vesting of 8,389 shares of unvested restricted stock units previously awarded to him, representing the number of restricted stock units that would have otherwise vested through November 25, 2016.
