Explanatory Note

This Current Report on Form 8-K/A (this “Current Report”) amends the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by GoDaddy Inc. (the “Company”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on June 24, 2020 (the “Original Report”) and is being filed in order to amend and supplement the Company’s disclosure under Item 2.05 of the Original Report. The Original Report otherwise remains unchanged.

Item 2.05 Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities

As previously announced, on June 24, 2020, the Company implemented a restructuring plan to address the sustainability of its U.S. outbound sales and operations. At the time of the Original Report, the Company estimated that it would incur approximately $15 million of pre-tax restructuring charges, substantially all of which represents future cash expenditures for the payment of severance and related benefit costs. The Company continues to expect to incur such pre-tax restructuring charges, approximately $10 million of which was recognized in the second quarter of 2020, while the remainder will be recognized in the third quarter of 2020. The Company further expected that certain lease assets with a book value of approximately of $58 million would be impaired. At the time of the Original Report, the Company was not able to make a good faith estimate of the range of potential impairment of this book value. The Company has determined that impairment charge, and in the second quarter of 2020, recognized a pre-tax impairment charge of approximately $29 million to operating lease assets, resulting in a total pre-tax restructuring charge of approximately $39 million during the period.
