Lehman Brothers and Merrill Lynch & Co. will act as joint book-running managers for the
offering. In addition, UBS Investment Bank, Cowen and Company, Piper Jaffray and JMP
Securities will act as co-managers for the offering. The number of shares to be offered and the
price range for the offering have not yet been determined.

Quote: GoDaddy, which sells Internet registration names, hasn't been profitable since launching in 1997. Parsons blames this on "ultra conservative accounting" methods the company is required to use and believes the press was wrong to point out in stories on the pending sale.

Of course, he couldn't say that because of the quiet period.

Regardless, the company's financial performance wasn't among the three reasons he gave for pulling the IPO - which the company registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission in May.
