Prior owners were using it to redirect to their Swiss site, https://www.medidata.ch and the new owners have a market cap of nearly $6 billion: https://www.google.com/search?q=NASDAQ:+MDSO

So, those presumably influenced the valuation.

This is an end-user to end-user sale.

The seller was well aware it is a great name - they were already using it! And presumably they did not need to sell, this was a windfall and only worth taking if the price was really persuasive.

I don't like the name to be honest, but it fits their business, so it's a win-win deal
