The stock is flat on the year even as the company has experienced a surge in online traffic amid the Covid-19 pandemic.

The Wall Street Journal first reported Starboard’s stake.

Starboard Value and GoDaddy did not immediately respond to CNBC’s requests for comment.

Starboard Value’s CEO, Jeff Smith, has been a prolific activist investor even during the pandemic as he pushed for changes in companies across the veterinary, chemicals and health-care industries.

Starboard Value manages about $6.2 billion in assets, according to filings through the first quarter of 2020. Smith spun the New York-based hedge fund out of investment firm Ramius in 2011.
