II, the predecessor to the Issuer (“Dragoneer”) (such transaction, the “Business Combination”). The payment of the aggregate purchase price was funded by capital contributions from the purchaser’s limited partners.

Item 4.

Purpose of Transaction

Merger Agreement

On March 14, 2023, the Issuer entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Issuer, Capstone Borrower, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), Capstone Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”). Parent and Merger Sub are affiliates of funds managed by affiliates of Blackstone Inc. Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein have the meaning set forth in the Merger Agreement, which is filed herewith as Exhibit B.

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will be merged with and into the Company, with the Company surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (the “Merger”).

Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, except as may be otherwise agreed between Parent and the stockholders of the Company, at the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), (i) each share of Common Stock that is issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than any shares of Common Stock that are held by the Company as treasury stock or owned by Parent, Merger Sub or any other subsidiaries thereof, or any shares of Common Stock as to which appraisal rights have been properly exercised in accordance with Delaware law), will be automatically cancelled, extinguished and converted into the right to receive cash in an amount equal to $8.50, without interest thereon, and (ii) each share of Common Stock that is held by the Company as treasury stock or owned by Parent, Merger Sub or any other subsidiaries thereof, in each case, as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, will be automatically cancelled and extinguished without any conversion thereof or consideration paid therefor.

The closing of the Merger (the “Closing”) is conditioned on certain conditions, including (i) the adoption of the Merger Agreement by the holders of a majority of the outstanding Common Stock, (ii) the expiration or termination of any applicable waiting periods under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Act, (iii) certain other approvals and clearances by government authorities, and (iv) other customary conditions for a transaction of this type, such as the absence of any legal restraint prohibiting the consummation of the Transactions and the absence of any Company Material Adverse Effect (as defined in the Merger Agreement). The Closing will not occur prior to June 15, 2023, without the prior written consent of Parent.

The Merger Agreement contains certain termination rights for the parties, including the right of either party, subject to specified limitations, to terminate the Merger Agreement if the Merger is not consummated on or before December 14, 2023 (subject to an extension until 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on March 14, 2024 under certain circumstances for the purpose of obtaining certain regulatory approvals, in either case, the “Termination Date”). The Merger Agreement also provides that upon termination of the Merger Agreement in specified circumstances, including termination by the Issuer to accept and enter into an Alternative Acquisition Agreement, or termination by Parent following a Company Board Recommendation Change, or the occurrence of other, customary circumstances,

the Issuer must pay Parent a termination fee of $138,608,439. Further, Parent is required to pay the Company a termination fee equal to $276,216,878 (the “Parent Termination Fee”) if (i) the Company terminates the Merger Agreement due to Parent’s or Merger Sub’s breach or failure to perform of the representations, warranties, covenants or other agreements contained in the Merger Agreement or (ii) the Company terminates the Merger Agreement due to Parent’s failure to consummate the Merger by the date that is three business days after the first date on which Parent is required to consummate the Closing pursuant to the Merger Agreement.

Upon the consummation of the Merger, the Issuer will cease to be a publicly traded company and the Common Stock will be delisted from the Nasdaq Global Market and deregistered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement filed herewith as Exhibit B and incorporated by reference herein.

The consummation of the Merger is subject to the satisfaction of the conditions to the closing of the Merger, as described above and as set forth in the Merger Agreement. There can be no assurance as to whether the closing of the Merger will occur.

The Reporting Persons review on a continuing basis the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and Voting Agreements (as defined in Item 6). Based on such review, the Reporting Persons may exercise their rights under those agreements and/or the other agreements described in this Statement on Schedule 13D, including to terminate, amend or modify any of the transactions contemplated thereby, and/or may acquire, or cause to be acquired, beneficial interests in securities of the Issuer at any time, or formulate other purposes, plans or proposals regarding the Issuer or any of its securities, to the extent deemed advisable in light of the investment policies of the Reporting Persons, the Issuer’s business, financial condition and operating results, general market and industry conditions or other factors. Other than as described in this Item 4, and except as otherwise disclosed herein or in agreements described in this Statement on Schedule 13D, the Reporting Persons have no present plans or proposals that would relate to or result in any of the matters set forth in subparagraphs (a)-(j) of the instructions to Item 4 of this Statement on Schedule 13D. However, as part of the ongoing evaluation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and Voting Agreements, the Reporting Persons may at any time review or reconsider their respective positions with respect to the Issuer and formulate plans or proposals with respect to any of such matters and, from time to time, may hold discussions with or make formal proposals to management or the Issuer’s board of directors, other stockholders of the Issuer or other third parties regarding such matters. There can be no assurance that the possible courses of action expressed in this Item 4 will be consummated by the Reporting Persons.
