As previously disclosed in the Form 12b-25 filed on May 18, 2021 by Dragoneer Growth Opportunities Corp. III (Nasdaq: DGNU) (the “Company”) with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), the Company is reevaluating the accounting treatment of the Company’s private placement warrants (the “Warrants”) and of the forward purchase agreement between the Company and Dragoneer Funding III LLC (the “Forward Purchase Agreement”), in light of the SEC’s recently issued “Staff Statement on Accounting and Reporting Considerations for Warrants Issued by Special Purpose Acquisition Companies (“SPACs”)” (the “Staff Statement”). This Staff Statement issued on April 12, 2021 informed market participants that warrants issued by SPACs and former SPACs may need to be reclassified as liabilities with non-cash fair value adjustments recorded in earnings at each reporting period.

The Company is working diligently with its auditors in order to determine the appropriate treatment of the Warrants and of the Forward Purchase Agreement in accordance with the Staff Statement.

Given the time and focus dedicated to the process for determining the appropriate treatment of the Warrants and of the Forward Purchase Agreement, the Company requires additional time to complete its customary quarterly review and reporting process and the filing of its Form 10-Q for the first quarter ended March 31, 2021 (the “Form 10-Q”) and was unable to file the Form 10-Q by the May 17, 2021 deadline. As a result, the Company received a Notification of Deficiency by the Listing Qualifications Department at Nasdaq on May 28, 2021 indicating that it is in violation of Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1). The Form 10-Q will be filed as soon as is practicable.
