Material Changes
On August 10, 2020, GoDaddy Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, the "Borrowers") entered into a Joinder and Fourth Amendment Agreement to their existing Credit Agreement. This amendment established a new tranche of incremental term loans totaling $750 million. The filing does not provide comparative financial data against prior periods as it is a transactional report rather than a periodic financial statement.
Use of Proceeds and Management Commentary
Use of Proceeds: The $750 million in proceeds from the New Term Loans will be used to make payments associated with the settlement and release of GoDaddy Inc.'s obligations under certain tax receivable agreements.
Outlook and Risks: The filing does not contain forward-looking guidance, risk factors, or management commentary beyond the description of the debt amendment and its specific purpose.
Investor Verification Checklist
