Overview

We are a blank check company incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company on September 25, 2020 for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (the "Business Combination"). While we may pursue an initial Business Combination target in any industry or geographic location, we intend to focus our search for a target business operating in the media, entertainment and technology industries. Our sponsor is Dragoneer Growth Opportunities Holdings III (an affiliate of Dragoneer Investment Group, LLC (the "Sponsor")), a Cayman Islands limited liability company.

Results of Operations

Our only activities from inception through December 31, 2021 were those related to our formation, the preparation for our Initial Public Offering and, since the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the search for a prospective initial Business Combination. We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any operating revenues to date. We will not generate any operating revenues until after completion of our initial Business Combination, at the earliest. We incurred expenses as a result of being a public company (including for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as for expenses in connection with searching for a prospective initial Business Combination.

For the year ended December 31, 2021, we had net income of $3,867,484, which consists of operating expenses of $1,030,464, loss from the issuance of the Private Placement Warrants of $7,767,566, interest expense related to the amortization of debt discount of $859,338, and transaction costs allocable to the warrant liability of $41,191, offset by a change in fair value of the warrant liability of $10,738,121 and a change in fair value of the conversion option liability of $2,827,922.

For the period from September 25, 2020 (inception) through December 31, 2020, we had a net loss of $5,000, which consists of formation and operating expenses of $5,000.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

On March 25, 2021 the Company consummated the Initial Public Offering of 40,000,000 Class A ordinary shares (the "Public Shares"), at $10.00 per Public Share, generating gross proceeds of $400,000,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the sale of 10,000,000 warrants (the "Private Placement Warrants") at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant in a private placement to Dragoneer Growth Opportunities Holdings III (an affiliate of Dragoneer Investment Group, LLC (the "Sponsor")), generating gross proceeds of $10,000,000.

On May 6, 2021, the underwriters partially exercised their over-allotment option, resulting in an additional 3,067,606 Public Shares issued for an aggregate amount of $30,676,060. In connection with the underwriters' partial exercise of their over-allotment option, the Company also consummated the sale of an additional 613,522 Private Placement Warrants at $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant, generating total gross proceeds of $613,522. A total of $30,676,060 was deposited into the Trust Account, bringing the aggregate proceeds held in the Trust Account to $430,676,061.

As of December 31, 2021, we had approximately $430,676,061 cash held in the Trust Account. We intend to use substantially all of the funds held the Trust Account and the proceeds from the sale of the forward purchase shares to complete our Business Combination. To the extent that our shares or debt is used, in whole or in part, as consideration to complete our Business Combination, the remaining proceeds held in the Trust Account will be used as working capital to finance the operations of the post-Business Combination entity, make other acquisitions and pursue our growth strategies.

As of December 31, 2021, we had cash of $3,185,171 held outside of the Trust Account. We intend to use the funds held outside of the Trust Account primarily to identify and evaluate target businesses, perform business due diligence on prospective target businesses, travel to and from the offices, properties, or similar locations of prospective target businesses or their representative or owners, review corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses, and structure, negotiate and complete a Business Combination.

In order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, our Sponsor or an affiliate of our Sponsor, or our officers and directors may provide us working capital loans ("Working Capital Loans"). As of December 31, 2021, there was $3,000,000 in borrowings under Working Capital Loans. The Company initially recorded the $3,000,000 loan net of a debt discount of $2,827,923, on the accompanying balance sheet. During the period ended December 31, 2021, the Company recorded $859,338 of interest expense related to the amortization of the debt discount. The balance of the debt discount amounted to $1,968,585 at December 31, 2021.

Based on the foregoing, management believes that we will have sufficient working capital and borrowing capacity to meet its needs through the earlier of the consummation of a Business Combination or one year from this filing. Over this time period, we will be using the funds held outside of the Trust Account for paying existing accounts payable, identifying, and evaluating prospective Business Combination candidates, performing due diligence on prospective target businesses, paying for travel expenditures, selecting the target business to merge with or acquire, and structuring, negotiating, and consummating the Business Combination.

Going Concern

We must consummate an initial Business Combination within 24 months (or 27 months, as applicable) from the closing of our Initial Public Offering or during any Extension Period. It is uncertain that we will be able to consummate an initial Business Combination within this time. If an initial Business Combination is not consummated within this time, there will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution. Management has determined that the mandatory liquidation, should an initial Business Combination not occur, and potential subsequent dissolution raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should we be required to liquidate after March 25, 2023.

Off-Balance

Sheet Arrangements; Commitments and Contractual Obligations



As of December 31, 2021, we did not have any
off-balance
sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation
S-K
and did not have any commitments or contractual obligations other than
obligations disclosed herein.

Contractual Obligations

Registration Rights Agreement

Pursuant to a registration rights agreement entered into on March 22, 2021, the
holders of the Founder Shares and Private Placement Warrants, and any warrants
that may be issued upon conversion of the Working Capital Loans (and any Class A
ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants and
any warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans and
conversion of Founder Shares) are entitled to registration rights pursuant to a
registration and shareholder rights agreement to be signed prior to or on the
effective date of the Initial Public Offering. The holders of these securities
will be entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that
the Company register such securities. In addition, the holders have certain
"piggy-back" registration rights with respect to registration statements filed
subsequent to the completion of a Business Combination. However, the
registration and shareholder rights agreement provides that the Company will not
permit any registration statement filed under the Securities Act to become
effective until termination of the applicable
lock-up
period. The registration rights agreement does not contain liquidating damages
or other cash settlement provisions resulting from delays in registering the
Company's securities. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection
with the filing of any such registration statements.

Underwriting Agreement



The Company granted the underwriters a
45-day
option to purchase up to 6,000,000 additional Public Shares to cover
over-allotments at the Initial Public Offering price, less the underwriting
discounts and commissions. The underwriters partially exercised their
over-allotment option on May 6, 2021 resulting in the sale of an additional
3,067,606 Public Shares at a price of $10.00 per Public Share. The underwriters'
remaining over-allotment option expired unexercised on May 6, 2021.

The underwriters are entitled to a deferred fee of $0.35 per Public Share, or $15,073,661 in the aggregate. The deferred fee will become payable to the underwriters from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that the Company completes a Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.

Forward Purchase Agreement

The Company entered into a forward purchase agreement pursuant to which an affiliate of the Sponsor agreed to purchase an aggregate of up to 5,000,000 forward purchase shares for $10.00 per share, or up to $50,000,000 in the aggregate, in a private placement to close substantially concurrently with the initial Business Combination. The Company will determine in its sole discretion the specific number of forward purchase shares that it sells to the purchaser, if any. The funds from the sale of forward purchase shares may be used as part of the consideration to the sellers in the initial Business Combination, expenses in connection with the initial Business Combination or for working capital in the post transaction company. The obligations under the forward purchase agreement do not depend on whether any public shareholders elect to redeem their shares and provide the Company with a minimum funding level for the initial Business Combination.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

This management's discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of our financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in our financial statements. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments, including those related to fair value of financial instruments and accrued expenses. We base our estimates on historical experience, known trends and events and various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The company has identified the following as its critical accounting policies:

Warrant Liability



We account for the warrants issued in connection with our Initial Public
Offering in accordance with the guidance contained in ASC 815 under which the
warrants do not meet the criteria for equity treatment and must be recorded as
liabilities. Accordingly, we classify the warrants as liabilities at their fair
value and adjust the warrants to fair value at each reporting period. This
liability is subject to
re-measurement
at each balance sheet date until exercised, and any change in fair value is
recognized in our statements of operations. The fair value of the warrants was
estimated using a Modified Black Scholes Option Pricing Model.

                                       52

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Table of Contents

Derivative Financial Instruments



We evaluate our financial instruments to determine if such instruments are
derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives in
accordance with ASC Topic 815, "Derivatives and Hedging". For derivative
financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative
instrument is initially recorded at its fair value on the issuance date and is
then revalued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in
the statements of operations. The classification of derivative instruments,
including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as
equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period. Derivative liabilities
are classified in the balance sheet as current or
non-current
based on whether or not
net-cash
settlement or conversion of the instrument could be required within 12 months of
the balance sheet date.

Class A Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption

We account for our ordinary shares subject to possible conversion in accordance with the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 480, "Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity." Ordinary shares subject to mandatory redemption are classified as a liability instrument and measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable ordinary shares (including ordinary shares that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within our control) are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, ordinary shares are classified as shareholders' equity. Our ordinary shares feature certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of our control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, ordinary shares subject to possible redemption are presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders' (deficit) equity section of our unaudited condensed balance sheets.

Net Earnings Per Ordinary Share

The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC Topic 260, "Earnings Per Share." The Company has two classes of shares, which are referred to as Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares. Income and losses are shared pro rata between the two classes of shares. Net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net income per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if warrants were to be exercised or converted or otherwise resulted in issuance of Ordinary Shares that then shared in the earnings of the entity. As the exercise of the warrants are contingent upon the completion of a business combination they have not been included in the calculation of diluted net income (loss) per share. Accretion associated with the redeemable Class A ordinary shares is excluded from earnings per share as the redemption value approximates fair value.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards



In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Accounting Standards Update ("ASU")
2020-06,
"Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic
470-20)
and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity's Own Equity (Subtopic
815-40)"
("ASU
2020-06")
to simplify accounting for certain financial instruments. ASU
2020-06
eliminates the current models that require separation of beneficial conversion
and cash conversion features from convertible instruments and simplifies the
derivative scope exception guidance pertaining to equity classification of
contracts in an entity's own equity. The new standard also introduces additional
disclosures for convertible debt and freestanding instruments that are indexed
to and settled in an entity's own equity. ASU
2020-06
amends the diluted earnings per share guidance, including the requirement to use
the
if-converted
method for all convertible instruments. ASU
2020-06
is effective January 1, 2022 and should be applied on a full or modified
retrospective basis, with early adoption permitted beginning on January 1, 2021.
The Company adopted ASU
2020-06
effective January 1, 2021. The adoption of ASU
2020-06
did not have a significant impact on the Company's financial statements.

Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company's financial statements.

JOBS Act



On April 5, 2012, the JOBS Act was signed into law. The JOBS Act contains
provisions that, among other things, relax certain reporting requirements for
qualifying public companies. Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging
growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial
accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a
Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class
of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the
new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a
company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with
the requirements that apply to
non-emerging
growth companies but any such an election to opt out is irrevocable. We have
elected to irrevocably opt out of such extended transition period, which means
that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates
for public or private companies, we will adopt the new or revised standard at
the time public companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make
comparison of our financial statements with another emerging growth company that
has not opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or
impossible because of the potential differences in accountant standards used.

Additionally, we are in the process of evaluating the benefits of relying on the other reduced reporting requirements provided by the JOBS Act. Subject to certain conditions set forth in the JOBS Act, if, as an "emerging growth company", we choose to rely on such exemptions we may not be required to, among other things, (i) provide an auditor's attestation report on our system of internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404, (ii) provide all of the compensation disclosure that may be required of non-emerging growth public companies under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, (iii) comply with any requirement that may be adopted by the PCAOB regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor's report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements (auditor discussion and analysis), and (iv) disclose certain executive compensation related items such as the correlation between executive compensation and performance and comparisons of the CEO's compensation to median employee compensation. These exemptions will apply for a period of five years following the completion of our Initial Public Offering or until we are no longer an "emerging growth company," whichever is earlier.
