PRELIMINARY—SUBJECT TO COMPLETION, DATED OCTOBER 19, 2021
PROXY STATEMENT FOR EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING OF DRAGONEER GROWTH OPPORTUNITIES CORP. II PROSPECTUS FOR 487,249,396 SHARES OF COMMON STOCK OF DRAGONEER GROWTH OPPORTUNITIES CORP. II (AFTER ITS DOMESTICATION AS A CORPORATION INCORPORATED IN THE STATE OF DELAWARE, WHICH WILL BE RENAMED CVENT HOLDING CORP. IN CONNECTION WITH THE DOMESTICATION DESCRIBED HEREIN)
The board of directors of Dragoneer Growth Opportunities Corp. II, a Cayman Islands exempted company (“Dragoneer”), has unanimously approved the transactions (collectively, the “Business Combination”) contemplated by that certain Business Combination Agreement, dated July 23, 2021 (as may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Business Combination Agreement”), by and among Dragoneer, Redwood Opportunity Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Merger Sub I”), Redwood Merger Sub LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Merger Sub II”), and Papay Topco, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Cvent”), a copy of which is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus/consent solicitation as Annex A, including the domestication of Dragoneer as a Delaware corporation (the “Domestication”). As described in this proxy statement/prospectus/consent solicitation, Dragoneer’s shareholders are being asked to consider a vote upon each of the Domestication and the Business Combination, among other items. As used in this proxy statement/prospectus/consent solicitation, “New Cvent” refers to Dragoneer after giving effect to the consummation of the Domestication and the Business Combination.
In connection with the Domestication, on the Closing Date prior to the First Effective Time (as defined below): (i) each issued and outstanding Class A ordinary share, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A ordinary shares”), and each issued and outstanding Class B ordinary share, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class B ordinary shares”), of Dragoneer will be converted into one share of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of New Cvent (the “New Cvent Common Stock”); (ii) the governing documents of Dragoneer will be amended and restated and become the certificate of incorporation and the bylaws of New Cvent as described in this proxy statement/prospectus/consent solicitation; and (iii) Dragoneer’s name will change to “Cvent Holding Corp.”
On the date of Closing, promptly following the Domestication, Merger Sub I will merge with and into Cvent (the “First Merger”; the time the First Merger becomes effective being referred to as the “First Effective Time”), with Cvent as the surviving company, and promptly following the First Effective Time, Cvent will merge with and into Merger Sub II (the “Second Merger” and, together with the First Merger, the “Mergers”), with Merger Sub II as the surviving company in the Second Merger and, after giving effect to the Mergers, Merger Sub II will be a wholly-owned subsidiary of Dragoneer (the time that the Second Merger becomes effective being referred to as the “Second Effective Time”).
In accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions of the Business Combination Agreement, at the First Effective Time, each share and equity award of Cvent outstanding as of immediately prior to the First Effective Time will be exchanged for shares of New Cvent Common Stock or comparable equity awards that are settled or are exercisable for shares of New Cvent Common Stock, as applicable, based on an implied Cvent equity value of $4,467,973,959. The market value of the shares to be issued could vary significantly from the market value as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus/consent solicitation.
Concurrently with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, Dragoneer entered into Subscription Agreements (the “Subscription Agreements”) with certain investors (together the “PIPE Investors”), pursuant to which the PIPE Investors have agreed to subscribe for and purchase, and Dragoneer has agreed to issue and sell to the PIPE Investors, an aggregate of 47,500,000 shares of New Cvent Common Stock at a price of $10.00 per share, for aggregate gross proceeds of $475,000,000 (the “PIPE Financing”). The shares of New Cvent Common Stock to be issued pursuant to the Subscription Agreements have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) in reliance upon the exemption provided in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. Dragoneer will grant the PIPE Investors certain registration rights in connection with the PIPE Financing. The PIPE Financing is contingent upon, among other things, the substantially concurrent closing of the Business Combination.
Immediately prior to the First Effective Time, but following the Domestication, and pursuant to the terms of the forward purchase agreement between Dragoneer and Dragoneer Funding II LLC, an affiliate of the Sponsor, (the “Forward Purchaser”), dated October 29, 2020 (the “Forward Purchase Agreement”) and the Business Combination Agreement, Dragoneer will issue to Dragoneer Funding II LLC an aggregate of 5,000,000 Class A ordinary shares (the “Forward Purchase Shares”) for a purchase price of $10.00 per share.
It is anticipated that, upon completion of the Business Combination, (i) the Cvent Supporting Shareholders (as defined herein), including the Vista Investors (as defined herein), will own, collectively, approximately [●]% of the outstanding New Cvent Common Stock, and (ii) Dragoneer’s initial shareholders will own approximately 1.46% of the outstanding New Cvent Common Stock, in each case, assuming that none of Dragoneer’s outstanding public shares are redeemed in connection with the Business Combination, or approximately 1.54%, assuming that all of Dragoneer’s outstanding public shares are redeemed in connection with the Business Combination. In either case, the Vista Investors will own a majority of the outstanding New Cvent common stock. See the section entitled “Risk Factors—Risks Related to the Business Combination and Dragoneer—As a “controlled company” within the meaning of Nasdaq listing standards, New Cvent will qualify for exemptions from certain corporate governance requirements. New Cvent has the opportunity to elect any of the exemptions afforded a controlled company”. These percentages (i) assume that 416,351,853 shares of New Cvent Common Stock are issued to the holders of shares of common stock of Cvent at Closing (not including shares of New Cvent Common Stock underlying options issued to current optionholders of Cvent), which would be the number of shares of New Cvent Common Stock issued to these holders if Closing were to occur on [●]; (ii) are based on 47,500,000 shares of New Cvent Common Stock to be issued in the PIPE Financing; (iii) gives effect to the issuance of the 5,000,000 Class A ordinary shares to be issued immediately prior to the First Effective Time; and (iv) do not take into account any shares of New Cvent Common Stock underlying vested and unvested options that will be held by equityholders of Cvent immediately following Closing. If the actual facts are different than these assumptions, the ownership percentages in New Cvent will be different.
This proxy statement/prospectus/consent solicitation covers up to 487,249,396 shares of New Cvent Common Stock (including shares issuable upon exercise of the equity awards described above) to be issued in connection with the Domestication. The number of shares of New Cvent Common Stock that this proxy statement/prospectus/consent solicitation covers represents the maximum number of shares that may be issued to holders of shares and equity awards of Cvent in connection with the Business Combination (as more fully described in this proxy statement/prospectus/consent solicitation), together with the shares issued or issuable to the existing shareholders of Dragoneer in connection with the Business Combination.
Dragoneer’s shares are currently listed on Nasdaq under the symbol “DGNS.” Dragoneer will apply for listing, to be effective at the time of the Business Combination, of New Cvent Common Stock on Nasdaq under the proposed symbol “CVT”. It is a condition of the consummation of the Business Combination that the New Cvent Common Stock be listed on Nasdaq and that Nasdaq shall have raised no objection to the continued listing of the New Cvent Common Stock, but there can be no assurance such listing condition will be met or that Nasdaq will not raise such objection. If such listing condition is not met or if such objection is raised, the Business Combination will not be consummated unless the Nasdaq condition set forth in the Business Combination Agreement is waived by the applicable parties.
The accompanying proxy statement/prospectus/consent solicitation provides shareholders of Dragoneer with detailed information about the Business Combination and other matters to be considered at the extraordinary general meeting of Dragoneer. We encourage you to read the entire accompanying proxy statement/prospectus/consent solicitation, including the Annexes and other documents referred to therein, carefully and in their entirety. You should also carefully consider the risk factors described in “Risk Factors” beginning on page 74 of the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus/consent solicitation.
NEITHER THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION NOR ANY STATE SECURITIES REGULATORY AGENCY HAS APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED THE TRANSACTIONS DESCRIBED IN THE ACCOMPANYING PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS/CONSENT SOLICITATION, PASSED UPON THE MERITS OR FAIRNESS OF THE BUSINESS COMBINATION OR RELATED TRANSACTIONS OR PASSED UPON THE ADEQUACY OR ACCURACY OF THE DISCLOSURE IN THE ACCOMPANYING PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS/CONSENT SOLICITATION. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY CONSTITUTES A CRIMINAL OFFENSE.
The accompanying proxy statement/prospectus/consent solicitation is dated [●], 2021, and is first being mailed to Dragoneer’s shareholders on or about [●], 2021.
