As previously disclosed, on February 2, 2021, Dragoneer Growth Opportunities Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company (Dragoneer), entered into a Business Combination Agreement (as amended on April 22, 2021 by Amendment No. 1 to the Business Combination Agreement, and as may be further amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the Business Combination Agreement), by and among Dragoneer, Chariot Opportunity Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation (Chariot Merger Sub), and Cypress Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (CCC), providing for, among other things, the merger of Chariot Merger Sub with and into CCC, with CCC as the surviving company in the merger and, after giving effect to such merger, continuing as a wholly owned subsidiary of Dragoneer (the Business Combination).
On July 6, 2021, Dragoneer and CCC entered into Amendment No. 2 to the Business Combination Agreement (the Amendment). Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined in this current report on Form 8-K have the meanings given to such terms in the Business Combination Agreement.

Prior to the Amendment, the Business Combination Agreement had provided that the Termination Date was to be August 2, 2021.

In connection with the Business Combination, Dragoneer has filed with the SEC the Registration Statement, which included a preliminary proxy statement and preliminary prospectus.

This communication is not a substitute for the Registration Statement, the proxy statement/prospectus or any other document that Dragoneer will send to its shareholders in connection with the Business Combination. Investors and security holders of Dragoneer are advised to read the proxy statement/prospectus in connection with Dragoneers solicitation of proxies for its extraordinary general meeting of shareholders to be held on July 29, 2021 to approve the Business Combination (and related matters) because the proxy statement/prospectus contains important information about the Business Combination and the parties to the Business Combination.
