01—Abstract

Summary

Summary of the 8-K filed August 27, 2026. Cited figures are marked; the original filing is the authoritative source.

VeriSign, Inc. filed a Form 8-K dated August 27, 2026 under Item 8.01 (Other Events) to announce an increase in the registry-level wholesale price for new and renewal .net domain names.

The price rises from $10.91 to $12.00a, effective March 1, 2027. The increase is made under the company's agreement with the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN). For investors, the key point is the scheduled repricing of .net, the company's principal registry service, which takes effect in March 2027, several months after the announcement.

The filing states only the old and new wholesale prices and the effective date, so it does not quantify the expected effect on revenue or earnings. The filing contains no financial results, guidance, or other operating disclosures.

The filing is brief and does not describe the reasons for the change beyond the contractual arrangement with ICANN. Investors seeking the financial impact would need to look to the company's other public disclosures.
