Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing

On May 28, 2021, Dragoneer Growth Opportunities Corp. III (the “Company”) received a Notification of Deficiency by the Listing Qualifications Department at The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) which stated that, because the Company had not as of the date of the letter filed its Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2021 (the “Form 10-Q”), it is in violation of Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1).

As previously disclosed in the Form 12b-25 filed on May 18, 2021 by the Company with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), the Company’s management 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.

Given the time and focus dedicated to determining the appropriate treatment of the Warrants and the Forward Purchase Agreement in accordance with the Staff Statement, the Company was unable to complete and file the Form 10-Q by the required due date of May 17, 2021 without unreasonable effort and expense. The Form 10-Q will be filed as soon as is practicable.

As required by Nasdaq rules, on June 4, 2021, the Company issued a press release regarding the matters described in this Item 3.01. A copy of the press release is included as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report and incorporated herein by reference.

Item 9.01 Financial Statements and Exhibits.

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
