Basis of Presentation

Our fiscal year ends on June 30. Unless otherwise noted, any reference to a year preceded by the word “fiscal” refers to the fiscalyear ended June 30 of that year. For example, references to “fiscal 2021” refer to the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021. Any reference to a year not preceded by “fiscal” refers to a calendar year.

Paycor HCM, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Paycor HCM”), was incorporated in August 2018 to serve as a holding company in connectionwith Apax Partners’ (as defined below) acquisition of the Company (the “Apax Acquisition”). As Paycor HCM did not have any previous operations, Paycor, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Predecessor Paycor”), is viewed as thepredecessor to Paycor HCM and its consolidated subsidiaries. Accordingly, this prospectus and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021 (our “2021 Form 10-K”), which is incorporated by reference herein, includes certain historical consolidated financial and other data for Predecessor Paycor for periods prior to the completion of the Apax Acquisition. The ApaxAcquisition closed on November 2, 2018. The financial information for the period after November 2, 2018, represents the consolidated financial information of Paycor HCM and its subsidiaries, including Predecessor Paycor, which is referredto as the “Successor” company. Prior to November 2, 2018, the consolidated financial statements included in this prospectus and our 2021 Form 10-K, which is incorporated by reference herein,include the accounts of Predecessor Paycor and its subsidiaries, which is referred to herein as the “Predecessor” company. References to the “Successor 2019 Period” refer to the period from November 2, 2018 throughJune 30, 2019, following the Apax Acquisition. References to the “Predecessor 2019 Period” refer to the period from July 1, 2018 through November 1, 2018, prior to the Apax Acquisition.

As a result of the Apax Acquisition, Paycor HCM was determined to be the accounting acquirer and Predecessor Paycor’s historical assetsand liabilities are reflected at fair value as of November 2, 2018, the closing date of the Apax Acquisition.

As a result of theApax Acquisition, the results of operations and financial position of the Predecessor and Successor are not directly comparable.

RISK FACTORS

You should carefully consider the risks described below, as well as the risks and uncertainties set forth under the heading “RiskFactors” in our 2021 Form 10-K, which is incorporated by reference in this prospectus, together with the financial and other information contained in this prospectus, before you decide topurchase shares of our common stock. If any of the following risks actually occur, or if any additional risks not presently known to us or that we have currently deemed immaterial occur, our business, financial condition, results of operations, cashflows and prospects could be materially and adversely affected. In such an event, the trading price of our common stock could decline and you could lose all or part of your investment in our common stock.

Risks Relating to Our Common Stock and This Offering

Apax Partners controls us, and its interests may conflict with ours or yours in the future.

Immediately following this offering, Apax Partners will continue to beneficially own approximately 74.0% of our shares of common stockoutstanding (or 73.0% if the underwriters exercise in full their option to purchase additional shares). Based on its percentage voting power, Apax Partners will continue to control the election and removal of directors on the Board and therebydetermine our corporate and management policies, including potential mergers or acquisitions, payment of dividends, asset sales, amendment of our certificate of incorporation or bylaws, and other significant corporate transactions for so long asApax Partners and its affiliates retain significant ownership of us. This concentration of our ownership may delay or deter possible changes in control of the Company, which may reduce the value of an investment in our common stock. In addition, ourbylaws provide that Apax Partners will have the right to designate the Chairman of the Board for so long as Apax Partners beneficially owns at least 30% or more of the voting power of the then outstanding shares of our capital stock then entitled tovote generally in the election of directors. Even when Apax Partners ceases to own shares of our stock representing a majority of the total voting power, for so long as Apax Partners continues to own a significant portion of our stock, Apax Partnerswill still be able to significantly influence the composition of our Board, including the right to designate the Chairman of our Board, and the approval of actions requiring stockholder approval. Accordingly, for such period of time, Apax Partnerswill have significant influence with respect to our management, business plans, and policies, including the appointment and removal of our officers, decisions on whether to raise future capital, and amending our charter and bylaws, which govern therights attached to our common stock. In particular, for so long as Apax Partners continues to own a significant percentage of our stock, Apax Partners will be able to cause or prevent a change of control of the Company or a change in the compositionof our Board, including the designation of our Chairman of our Board, and could preclude any unsolicited acquisition of us. The concentration of ownership could deprive you of an opportunity to receive a premium for your shares of common stock aspart of a sale of us and ultimately might affect the market price of our common stock.

In addition, in connection with our IPO, weentered into a Director Nomination Agreement with Apax Partners that provides Apax Partners the right to designate: (i) all of the nominees for election to our Board for so long as it beneficially owns at least 40% of the total number of sharesof our common stock beneficially owned by it upon completion of this offering, as adjusted for any reorganization, recapitalization, stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, or similar changes in the Company’s capitalization (the“Original Amount”); (ii) 40% of the nominees for election to our Board for so long as it beneficially owns less than 40% but at least 30% of the Original Amount; (iii) 30% of the nominees for election to our Board for so long as itbeneficially owns less than 30% but at least 20% of the Original Amount; (iv) 20% of the nominees for election to our Board for so long as it beneficially owns less than 20% but at least 10% of the Original Amount; and (v) one of the nomineesfor election to our Board for so long as it beneficially owns at least 5% of the Original Amount. Apax Partners may also assign such right to its affiliates. If Pride Aggregator, the investment vehicle through which Apax Partners holds itsinvestment, is dissolved, then Apax Partners will be permitted to cause the rights of Pride Aggregator to be assigned to it or one or more of its Affiliates (as defined in the Director Nomination Agreement). The Director

8

Nomination Agreement also provides for certain consent rights for Apax Partners so long as it owns at least 5% of the Original Amount, including for any increase to the size of our Board.Additionally, the Director Nomination Agreement also prohibits us from increasing or decreasing the size of our Board without the prior written consent of Apax Partners for so long as Apax Partners holds at least 5% of the Original Amount.

Apax Partners and its affiliates engage in a broad spectrum of activities, including investments in the software industry generally. In theordinary course of their business activities, Apax Partners and its affiliates may engage in activities where their interests conflict with our interests or those of our other stockholders, such as investing in or advising businesses that directlyor indirectly compete with certain portions of our business or are suppliers or customers of ours. Our certificate of incorporation that became effective in connection with the closing of our IPO provides that none of Apax Partners, any of itsaffiliates or any director who is not employed by us (including any non-employee director who serves as one of our officers in both his director and officer capacities) or its affiliates has any duty torefrain from engaging, directly or indirectly, in the same business activities or similar business activities or lines of business in which we operate. Apax Partners also may pursue acquisition opportunities that may be complementary to ourbusiness, and, as a result, those acquisition opportunities may not be available to us. In addition, Apax Partners may have an interest in pursuing acquisitions, divestitures, and other transactions that, in its judgment, could enhance itsinvestment, even though such transactions might involve risks to you.

We are a “controlled company” within the meaning of Nasdaq rulesand, as a result, we qualify for, and rely on, exemptions from certain corporate governance requirements. You do not have the same protections as those afforded to stockholders of companies that are subject to such governance requirements.

Apax Partners controls a majority of the voting power of our outstanding common stock. As a result, we are a “controlledcompany” within the meaning of the corporate governance standards of Nasdaq. Under these rules, a company of which more than 50% of the voting power for the election of directors is held by an individual, group, or another company is a“controlled company” and may elect not to comply with certain corporate governance requirements, including:

As a result, our Compensation & Benefits Committee and our Nominating & GovernanceCommittee do not consist entirely of independent directors and our Compensation & Benefits and Nominating & Governance Committees are not subject to annual performance evaluations. Accordingly, you will not have the sameprotections afforded to stockholders of companies that are subject to all of the corporate governance requirements of Nasdaq.

We are an“emerging growth company” and have elected to comply with reduced public company reporting requirements, which could make our common stock less attractive to investors.

We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups (“JOBS”) Act. For as long as wecontinue to be an emerging growth company, we are eligible for certain exemptions from various public company reporting requirements. These exemptions include, but are not limited to, (i) not being required to comply with the auditorattestation requirements of Section 404 of Sarbanes-Oxley, (ii) reduced

9

disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports, proxy statements and registration statements, and (iii) exemptions from the requirements of holding anonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. We could be an emerging growth company for up to five years following our IPO, with the fifth anniversary occurringin 2026. However, if certain events occur prior to the end of such five-year period, including if we become a “large accelerated filer,” our annual gross revenue exceeds $1.07 billion or we issue more than $1.0 billion of non-convertible debt in any three-year period, we would cease to be an emerging growth company prior to the end of such five-year period. We have made certain elections with regard to the reduced disclosureobligations regarding executive compensation and may elect to take advantage of other reduced disclosure obligations in future filings. As a result, the information that we provide to holders of our common stock may be different than you mightreceive from other public reporting companies in which you hold equity interests. We cannot predict if investors will find our common stock less attractive as a result of our reliance on these exemptions. If some investors find our common stock lessattractive as a result of any choice we make to reduce disclosure, there may be a less active trading market for our common stock and the market price for our common stock may be more volatile.

In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can use the extended transition period provided inSection 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act to delay adoption of new or revised accounting standards until such time as those standards apply to private companies. In connection with our IPO, we elected to“opt-in” to this extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards and, therefore, we will not be subject to the same new or revised accounting standards as otherpublic companies that comply with such new or revised accounting standards on a non-delayed basis. As a result of this election, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply withpublic company effective dates.

The requirements of being a public company may strain our resources and distract our management, which could makeit difficult to manage our business, particularly after we are no longer an “emerging growth company.”

As a publiccompany, we incur legal, accounting and other expenses that we did not incur before our IPO. We are subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the listing requirements of Nasdaq and other applicablesecurities rules and regulations. Compliance with these rules and regulations will continue to increase our legal and financial compliance costs, make some activities more difficult, time-consuming or costly and continue to increase demand on oursystems and resources, particularly after we are no longer an “emerging growth company.” The Exchange Act requires that we file annual, quarterly and current reports with respect to our business, financial condition, results of operations,cash flows and prospects. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires, among other things, that we establish and maintain effective internal controls and procedures for financial reporting. Furthermore, establishing the corporate infrastructure demanded of apublic company may divert our management’s attention from implementing our growth strategy, which could prevent us from improving our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and prospects. We have made, and willcontinue to make, changes to our internal controls and procedures for financial reporting and accounting systems to meet our reporting obligations as a public company.

However, the measures we take may not be sufficient to satisfy our obligations as a public company. In addition, these rules and regulationsincrease our legal and financial compliance costs and will make some activities more time-consuming and costly. For example, these rules and regulations make it more difficult and more expensive for us to obtain director and officer liabilityinsurance, and we may be required to incur substantial costs to maintain the same or similar coverage. These additional obligations could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows andprospects.

In addition, changing laws, regulations and standards relating to corporate governance and public disclosure are creatinguncertainty for public companies, increasing legal and financial compliance costs and making some activities more time consuming. These laws, regulations and standards are subject to varying interpretations, in

10

many cases due to their lack of specificity, and, as a result, their application in practice may evolve over time as new guidance is provided by regulatory and governing bodies. This could resultin continuing uncertainty regarding compliance matters and higher costs necessitated by ongoing revisions to disclosure and governance practices. We intend to continue to invest resources to comply with evolving laws, regulations and standards, andthis investment may result in increased general and administrative expenses and a diversion of our management’s time and attention from revenue-generating activities to compliance activities. If our efforts to comply with new laws, regulationsand standards differ from the activities intended by regulatory or governing bodies due to ambiguities related to their application and practice, regulatory authorities may initiate legal proceedings against us and there could be a material adverseeffect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and prospects.

Provisions of our corporate governance documentscould make an acquisition of us more difficult and may prevent attempts by our stockholders to replace or remove our current management, even if beneficial to our stockholders.

In addition to Apax Partners’ beneficial ownership, our certificate of incorporation and bylaws and the Delaware General CorporationLaw (the “DGCL”) contain provisions that could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire us, even if doing so might be beneficial to our stockholders. Among other things:

Our certificate of incorporation contains aprovision that provides us with protections similar to Section 203 of the DGCL, and prevents us from engaging in a business combination with a person (excluding Apax Partners and any of its direct or indirect transferees and any group as towhich such persons are a party) who acquires at

11

least 15% of our common stock for a period of three years from the date such person acquired such common stock, unless board or stockholder approval is obtained prior to the acquisition. Theseprovisions could discourage, delay or prevent a transaction involving a change in control of us. These provisions could also discourage proxy contests and make it more difficult for you and other stockholders to elect directors of your choosing andcause us to take other corporate actions you desire, including actions that you may deem advantageous, or negatively affect the trading price of our common stock. In addition, because our Board is responsible for appointing the members of ourmanagement team, these provisions could in turn affect any attempt by our stockholders to replace current members of our management team.

These and other provisions in our certificate of incorporation, bylaws, and Delaware law could make it more difficult for stockholders orpotential acquirers to obtain control of our Board or initiate actions that are opposed by our then-current Board, including delay or impede a merger, tender offer, or proxy contest involving our company. The existence of these provisions couldnegatively affect the price of our common stock and limit opportunities for you to realize value in a corporate transaction. For a description of our capital stock and the material terms of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation andamended and restated bylaws, see our 2021 Form 10-K filed with the SEC and incorporated by reference in this prospectus.

Our certificate of incorporation designates the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware as the exclusive forum for certain litigation that may beinitiated by our stockholders and the federal district courts of the United States as the exclusive forum for litigation arising under the Securities Act, which could limit our stockholders’ ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum fordisputes with us.

Pursuant to our certificate of incorporation, unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternativeforum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware will be the sole and exclusive forum for (1) any derivative action or proceeding brought on our behalf, (2) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any of ourdirectors, officers, or other employees to us or our stockholders, (3) any action asserting a claim against us arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL, our certificate of incorporation or our bylaws, or (4) any other action assertinga claim against us that is governed by the internal affairs doctrine; provided that for the avoidance of doubt, the forum selection provision that identifies the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware as the exclusive forum for certainlitigation, including any “derivative action,” will not apply to suits to enforce a duty or liability created by Securities Act, the Exchange Act, or any other claim for which the federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction. Our certificateof incorporation also provides that, unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the federal district courts of the United States shall be the exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of actionarising under the Securities Act. However, Section 22 of the Securities Act creates concurrent jurisdiction for federal and state courts over all suits brought to enforce a duty or liability created by the Securities Act or the rules andregulations thereunder; accordingly, we cannot be certain that a court would enforce such provision. Our certificate of incorporation further provides that any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in shares of our capitalstock is deemed to have notice of and consented to the provisions of our certificate of incorporation described above; however, our stockholders will not be deemed to have waived (and cannot waive) compliance with the federal securities laws and therules and regulations thereunder. The forum selection clause in our certificate of incorporation may have the effect of discouraging lawsuits against us or our directors and officers and may limit our stockholders’ ability to obtain a favorablejudicial forum for disputes with us. If the enforceability of our forum selection provision were to be challenged, we may incur additional costs associated with resolving such a challenge. While we currently have no basis to expect any suchchallenge would be successful, if a court were to find our forum selection provision to be inapplicable or unenforceable, we may incur additional costs associated with having to litigate in other jurisdictions, which could have an adverse effect onour business, financial condition, and results of operations and result in a diversion of the time and resources of our employees, management, and Board. For a description of our exclusive forum provision, see our 2021 Form 10-K filed with the SEC and incorporated by reference in this prospectus.

An active, liquid trading market for our common stock may not develop, which may limit your ability tosell your shares.

Our IPO occurred in July 2021. Therefore, there has only been a public market for our common stock for a shortperiod of time. Although our common stock is listed on Nasdaq under the trading symbol “PYCR,” there is a very limited trading history and an active trading market for our common stock may not be sustained. The public offering price inthis offering will be determined by negotiations between the selling stockholders and the underwriters and may not be indicative of market prices of our common stock that prevail in the open market after the offering. A public trading market havingthe desirable characteristics of depth, liquidity and orderliness depends upon the existence of willing buyers and sellers at any given time, such existence being dependent upon the individual decisions of buyers and sellers over which neither wenor any market maker has control. The failure of an active and liquid trading market to continue would likely have a material adverse effect on the value of our common stock. The market price of our common stock may decline below the public offeringprice, and you may not be able to sell your shares of our common stock at or above the price you pay in this offering, or at all. An inactive market may also impair our ability to raise capital to continue to fund operations by issuing additionalshares of our common stock or other equity or equity-linked securities and may impair our ability to acquire other companies or technologies by using any such securities as consideration.

Our operating results and stock price may be volatile, and the market price of our common stock after this offering may drop below the price you pay.

Our quarterly operating results are likely to fluctuate in the future. In addition, securities markets worldwide have experienced,and are likely to continue to experience, significant price and volume fluctuations, including as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. This market volatility, as well as general economic, market or politicalconditions, could subject the market price of our common stock to wide price fluctuations regardless of our operating performance. The market price of our common stock has ranged from $24.00 to $39.71 from the date of our IPO to and includingOctober 8, 2021. Our operating results and the trading price of our common stock may fluctuate in response to various factors, including:

These and other factors, many of which are beyond our control, may cause our operating results and the market price and demand for our sharesto fluctuate substantially. Fluctuations in our quarterly operating results could limit or prevent investors from readily selling their shares and may otherwise negatively affect the market price and liquidity of our shares. In addition, in thepast, when the market price of a stock has been volatile, holders of that stock have sometimes instituted securities class action litigation against the company that issued

13

the stock. If any of our stockholders brought a lawsuit against us, we could incur substantial costs defending the lawsuit. Such a lawsuit could also divert the time and attention of ourmanagement from our business, which could significantly harm our profitability and reputation.

A significant portion of our total outstandingshares are restricted from immediate resale but may be sold into the market in the near future. This could cause the market price of our common stock to drop significantly, even if our business is doing well.

Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market could occur at any time. These sales, or the perception in themarket that the holders of a large number of shares intend to sell shares, could reduce the market price of our common stock. We have 174,429,903 outstanding shares of common stock as of August 31, 2021. Shares that were not sold in our IPO aresubject to a 180-day lock-up period provided under lock-up agreements executed in connection with our IPO and restricted fromimmediate resale under the federal securities laws. Subject to applicable federal securities laws, all of these shares will, however, be able to be resold after the expiration of the lock-up period, as well aspursuant to customary exceptions thereto or upon the waiver of the lock-up agreement by Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC on behalf of the underwriters. As restrictions on resaleend, the market price of our stock could decline if the holders of currently restricted shares sell them or are perceived by the market as intending to sell them.

We have no current plans to pay regular cash dividends on our common stock and you may not receive any return on investment unless you sell your commonstock for a price greater than that which you paid for it.

We do not anticipate paying any regular cash dividends on our commonstock for the foreseeable future. Any decision to declare and pay dividends in the future will be made at the discretion of our Board and will depend on, among other things, our results of operations, financial condition, cash requirements,contractual restrictions, and other factors that our Board may deem relevant. In addition, our ability to pay dividends is, and may be in the future, limited by covenants of indebtedness we or our subsidiaries incur. Therefore, any return oninvestment in our common stock is solely dependent upon the appreciation of the price of our common stock on the open market, which may not occur.

We may issue shares of preferred stock in the future, which could make it difficult for another company to acquire us or could otherwise adverselyaffect holders of our common stock, which could depress the price of our common stock.

Our certificate of incorporation authorizesus to issue one or more series of preferred stock. Our Board will have the authority to determine the preferences, limitations, and relative rights of the shares of preferred stock and to fix the number of shares constituting any series and thedesignation of such series, without any further vote or action by our stockholders. Our preferred stock could be issued with voting, liquidation, dividend, and other rights superior to the rights of our common stock. The potential issuance ofpreferred stock may delay or prevent a change in control of us, discouraging bids for our common stock at a premium to the market price, and materially adversely affect the market price and the voting and other rights of the holders of our commonstock.

If securities or industry analysts do not publish research or reports about our business, if they publish unfavorable research or reports,or adversely change their recommendations regarding our common stock or if our results of operations do not meet their expectations, our stock price and/or trading volume could decline.

The trading market for our shares is influenced by the research and reports that industry or securities analysts publish about us or ourbusiness. We do not have any control over these analysts. If one or more of these analysts cease coverage of us or fail to publish reports on us regularly, we could lose visibility in the financial markets, which in turn could cause our stock priceand/or trading volume to decline. Moreover, if one or more of the analysts who cover us downgrade our stock, or if our results of operations do not meet their expectations, our stock price could decline.

14

Future offerings of debt or equity securities by us may materially adversely affect the market priceof our common stock.

In the future, we may attempt to obtain financing or to further increase our capital resources by issuingadditional shares of our common stock or offering debt or other equity securities, including senior or subordinated notes, debt securities convertible into equity, or shares of preferred stock. In addition, we may seek to expand operations in thefuture to other markets which we would expect to finance through a combination of additional issuances of equity, corporate indebtedness, and/or cash from operations.

Issuing additional shares of our common stock or other equity securities or securities convertible into equity may dilute the economic andvoting rights of our existing stockholders or reduce the market price of our common stock or both. Upon liquidation, holders of such debt securities and preferred shares, if issued, and lenders with respect to other borrowings would receive adistribution of our available assets prior to the holders of our common stock. Debt securities convertible into equity could be subject to adjustments in the conversion ratio pursuant to which certain events may increase the number of equitysecurities issuable upon conversion. Preferred shares, if issued, could have a preference with respect to liquidating distributions or a preference with respect to dividend payments that could limit our ability to pay dividends to the holders of ourcommon stock. Our decision to issue securities in any future offering will depend on market conditions and other factors beyond our control, which may adversely affect the amount, timing, or nature of our future offerings. Thus, holders of ourcommon stock bear the risk that our future offerings may reduce the market price of our common stock and dilute their stockholdings in us. For a description of our capital stock, see our 2021 Form 10-K filedwith the SEC and incorporated by reference in this prospectus.

Forward-looking statements give our current expectations and projections relating to our financial condition, results ofoperations, plans, objectives, future performance, and business. You can identify forward-looking statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. These statements may include words such as“anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “project,” “plan,” “intend,” “believe,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “can have,” “likely,”“outlook,” “potential,” “targets,” “project,” “contemplates,” the negative version of such words, and other words and terms of similar meaning in connection with any discussion of the timing ornature of future operating or financial performance or other events. For example, all statements we make relating to our estimated and projected costs, expenditures, cash flows, growth rates and financial results or our plans and objectives forfuture operations, growth initiatives, or strategies are forward-looking statements.

The inclusion of forward-looking statements shouldnot be regarded as a representation by us, Apax, the selling stockholders, the underwriters or any other person that the future plans, estimates, or expectations contemplated by us will be achieved. Such forward-looking statements are subject tovarious risks and uncertainties and assumptions relations to our operations, financial results, financial condition, business, prospects, growth strategy, and liquidity. Accordingly there are, or will be, important factors that could cause our causeactual results to differ materially from those indicated in these statements. We believe that these factors include, but are not limited to:

16

We derive many of our forward-looking statements from our operating budgets and forecasts, which are based on many detailed assumptions. Whilewe believe that our assumptions are reasonable, we caution that it is very difficult to predict the impact of known factors, and it is impossible for us to anticipate all factors that could affect our actual results. Important factors that couldcause actual results to differ materially from our expectations, or cautionary statements, are disclosed under the sections entitled “Risk Factors” in this prospectus and “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion andAnalysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our 2021 Form 10-K, which is incorporated by reference herein. All written forward-looking statements attributable to us, or persons acting onour behalf, are expressly qualified in their entirety by these cautionary statements as well as other cautionary statements that are made from time to time in our other SEC filings and public communications. You should evaluate all forward-lookingstatements made in this prospectus in the context of these risks and uncertainties.

We caution you that the important factors referencedabove may not contain all of the factors that are important to you. In addition, we cannot assure you that we will realize the results or developments we expect or anticipate or, even if substantially realized, that they will result in theconsequences or affect us or our operations in the way we expect. The forward-looking statements included in this prospectus are made only as of the date hereof. We undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement as aresult of new information, future events, or otherwise, except as otherwise required by law. We claim the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 for allforward-looking statements.

USE OF PROCEEDS

The selling stockholders are selling all of the shares of common stock being sold in this offering, including any shares sold upon theexercise of the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares. See “Principal and Selling Stockholders.” Accordingly, we will not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares of our common stock by the selling stockholders inthis offering. We will bear the costs associated with the sale of the shares sold in this offering by the selling stockholders, other than underwriting discounts and commissions.

18

DIVIDEND POLICY

We currently intend to retain all available funds and any future earnings to fund the development and growth of our business and to repayindebtedness and, therefore, we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Additionally, our ability to pay dividends on our common stock is limited by restrictions on the ability of our subsidiaries to pay dividends ormake distributions to us. Any future determination to pay dividends will be at the discretion of our Board, subject to compliance with covenants in current and future agreements governing our and our subsidiaries’ indebtedness and requirementsunder Delaware law, and will depend on our results of operations, financial condition, capital requirements and other factors that our Board may deem relevant.

Because we are a holding company and have no direct operations, we will only be able to pay dividends from our available cash on hand and anyfunds we received from our subsidiaries. Certain of the agreements governing our existing indebtedness contain negative covenants that limit, among other things, certain of our subsidiaries from paying dividends and other distributions to us.

Under Delaware law, dividends may be payable only out of surplus, which is calculated as our net assets less our liabilities and our capital,or, if we have no surplus, out of our net profits for the fiscal year in which the dividend is declared and/or the preceding fiscal year.

See “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to Our Common Stock and This Offering—We have no current plans to pay regular cash dividendson our common stock and you may not receive any return on investment unless you sell your common stock for a price greater than that which you paid for it.”

PRINCIPAL AND SELLING STOCKHOLDERS

The following table sets forth information about the beneficial ownership of our common stock as of August 31, 2021, and as adjusted toreflect the sale of the common stock in this offering, for:

Each stockholder’s percentage ownership is based on common stock outstanding as of August 31, 2021. The selling stockholders havegranted the underwriters an option to purchase up to 1,800,000 additional shares of common stock. The numbers of shares of common stock beneficially owned and percentages of beneficial ownership set forth below are based on shares of common stockissued and outstanding immediately after the offering.

Beneficial ownership for the purposes of the following table is determined inaccordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC. These rules generally provide that a person is the beneficial owner of securities if such person has or shares the power to vote or direct the voting thereof, or to dispose or direct thedisposition thereof, or has the right to acquire such powers within 60 days. Common stock subject to options that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days of August 31, 2021, are deemed to be outstanding and beneficially owned bythe person holding the options. These shares, however, are not deemed outstanding for the purposes of computing the percentage ownership of any other person. Except as disclosed in the footnotes to this table and subject to applicable communityproperty laws, we believe that each stockholder identified in the table possesses sole voting and investment power over all common stock shown as beneficially owned by the stockholder.

Unless otherwise noted below, the address of each beneficial owner listed on the table is c/o 4811 Montgomery Road, Cincinnati, Ohio 45212.

Beneficial ownership representing less than 1% is denoted with an asterisk (*).

SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE

Prior to our IPO, there had been no public market for our common stock. As described below, only a limited number of shares currentlyoutstanding will be available for sale immediately after this offering due to contractual and legal restrictions on resale. Nevertheless, future sales of substantial amounts of our common stock, including shares issued upon the exercise ofoutstanding options, in the public market after this offering, or the perception that those sales may occur, could cause the prevailing market price for our common stock to fall or impair our ability to raise capital through sales of our equitysecurities.

As of August 31, 2021, we had 174,429,903 outstanding shares of our common stock. Of the 174,429,903 shares that will beoutstanding immediately after the closing of this offering, we expect that the 21,275,000 shares sold in our IPO and the 12,000,000 shares to be sold in this offering (or 13,800,000 if the underwriters’ option is exercised in full) will befreely tradable without restriction under the Securities Act unless purchased by our “affiliates”, as that term is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act. Shares purchased by our affiliates may not be resold except pursuant to aneffective registration statement or an exemption from registration, including the safe harbor under Rule 144 of the Securities Act described below.

The remaining 141,154,903 shares of our common stock outstanding (or 139,354,903 if the underwriters’ option is exercised in full) afterthis offering will be “restricted securities”, as that term is defined in Rule 144 of the Securities Act, and we expect that substantially all of these restricted securities will be subject to thelock-up agreements described below. These restricted securities may be sold in the public market only if the sale is registered or pursuant to an exemption from registration, such as Rule 144 or Rule 701 ofthe Securities Act, which are summarized below.

IPO Lock-up Agreements

We, each of our directors and executive officers and the selling stockholders, have agreed that, without the prior written consent of GoldmanSachs & Co. LLC and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC on behalf of the underwriters in the IPO, we and they will not, subject to limited exceptions, directly or indirectly sell or dispose of any shares of common stock or any securities convertibleinto or exchangeable or exercisable for shares of common stock for a period of 180 days from July 20, 2021, the date of that prospectus. The lock-up restrictions and specified exceptions are described inmore detail under “Underwriting”.

Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, the lead book-runners in ourIPO, are waiving lock-up restrictions entered into in connection with our IPO with respect to the shares being sold in this offering by the selling stockholders. The waiver will take effect on the pricing ofthis offering (and in any event no earlier than October 14, 2021), and the shares may be sold only pursuant to this offering.

Following the lock-up periods set forth in the agreements described above, and assuming that therepresentatives of the underwriters do not otherwise release any parties from these agreements, all of the shares of our common stock that are restricted securities or are held by our affiliates as of the date of this prospectus will be eligible forsale in the public market in compliance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act.

Registration Rights Agreement

Pursuant to the registration rights agreement, we have granted Pride Aggregator and Preferred Holders of Registrable Securities the right tocause us, in certain instances, at our expense, to file a Resale Shelf Registration statement or to piggyback on registered offerings initiated by us in certain circumstances. Further, on the first anniversary of our IPO or as promptly aspracticable thereafter, so long as the Company is then-eligible to use

26

any applicable short-form registration, the Company will use its reasonable best efforts to cause a Resale Shelf Registration statement to be filed and declared effective under the Securities Actfor the sale or distribution by the Preferred Holders, and any other holders approved by Pride Aggregator, of the Registrable Securities. See “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions—Related PartyTransactions—Registration Rights Agreement.” These shares will represent 80.7% of our outstanding common stock after this offering, or 79.7% if the underwriters exercise their option to purchase additional shares in full.

Rule 144

In general,under Rule 144, beginning 90 days after we became subject to the public company reporting requirements of the Exchange Act on July 20, 2021, any person who is not our affiliate, who was not our affiliate at any time during the preceding threemonths, and who has held their shares for at least six months, including the holding period of any prior owner other than one of our affiliates, may sell shares without restriction, subject to the availability of current public information about usand subject to applicable lock-up restrictions. If such a person has beneficially owned the shares proposed to be sold for at least one year, including the holding period of any prior owner other than one ofour affiliates, then that person would be entitled to sell those shares without complying with any of the requirements of Rule 144.

Beginning 90 days after we became subject to the public company reporting requirements of the Exchange Act on July 20, 2021 and subjectto applicable lock-up restrictions, a person who is our affiliate or who was our affiliate at any time during the preceding three months and who has beneficially owned restricted securities for at least sixmonths, including the holding period of any prior owner other than one of our affiliates, is entitled to sell a number of shares within any three-month period that does not exceed the greater of: (1) 1% of the number of shares of our common stockoutstanding, which will equal approximately shares immediately after this offering; and (2) the average weekly trading volume of our common stock on Nasdaq during the four calendar weeks preceding the filing of a notice on Form 144 with respectto the sale.

Sales under Rule 144 by our affiliates are also subject to certain manner of sale provisions, notice requirements, and tothe availability of current public information about us.

Rule 701

In general, under Rule 701, any of our employees, directors, or officers who acquired shares from us in connection with a compensatory stockor option plan or other compensatory written agreement before the effective date of our IPO are, subject to applicable lock-up restrictions, eligible to resell such shares in reliance upon Rule 144 beginning90 days after July 20, 2021, the date of IPO prospectus. If such person is not an affiliate and was not our affiliate at any time during the preceding three months, the sale may be made subject only to the manner-of-sale restrictions of Rule 144. If such a person is an affiliate, the sale may be made under Rule 144 without compliance with the holding period requirements under Rule 144, but subject to the otherRule 144 restrictions described above.

Stock Plans

We have filed a registration statement on Form S-8 under the Securities Act to register shares of ourcommon stock issued or reserved for issuance under the 2021 Plan and the ESPP. Accordingly, shares of common stock registered under such registration statement are generally eligible for resale in the open market, unless such shares are subject tovesting restrictions with us, Rule 144 restrictions applicable to our affiliates or the lock-up restrictions described above.

MATERIAL U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES TO NON-U.S. HOLDERS

The following discussion is a summary of the material U.S. federal income taxconsequences to Non-U.S. Holders (as defined below) of the purchase, ownership, and disposition of our common stock sold pursuant to this offering, but does not purport to be a complete analysis of allpotential tax effects to such holders. The effects of other U.S. federal tax laws, such as estate and gift tax laws, the Medicare tax on net investment income and any applicable state, local, or non-U.S. taxlaws are not discussed. This discussion is based on the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder, judicial decisions, published rulings and administrative pronouncements of theU.S. Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”), in each case as in effect as of the date hereof. These authorities may change or be subject to differing interpretations. Any such change or differing interpretation may be applied retroactivelyin a manner that could adversely affect a Non-U.S. Holder of our common stock. We have not sought and will not seek any rulings from the IRS regarding the matters discussed below. There can be no assurance theIRS or a court will not take a contrary position to those discussed below regarding the tax consequences of the purchase, ownership, and disposition of our common stock.

This discussion is limited to Non-U.S. Holders that hold our common stock as a “capitalasset” within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code (generally, property held for investment). This discussion does not address all U.S. federal income tax consequences relevant to a Non-U.S.Holder’s particular circumstances or the effects of other U.S. federal tax laws, such as estate and gift tax laws, the Medicare tax on net investment income, and any applicable state, local, or non-U.S.tax law. In addition, it does not address consequences relevant to Non-U.S. Holders subject to special rules, including, without limitation:

If any partnership or other entity or arrangement classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes holds our common stock, thetax treatment of a partner in the partnership will depend on the status of

28

the partner, the activities of the partnership and certain determinations made at the partner level. Accordingly, partnerships holding our common stock and partners in such partnerships shouldconsult their tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences to them.

THIS DISCUSSION IS FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLYAND IS NOT TAX ADVICE. INVESTORS SHOULD CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISORS WITH RESPECT TO THE APPLICATION OF THE U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX LAWS TO THEIR PARTICULAR SITUATIONS AS WELL AS ANY TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE PURCHASE, OWNERSHIP AND DISPOSITION OF OURCOMMON STOCK ARISING UNDER THE U.S. FEDERAL ESTATE OR GIFT TAX LAWS OR THE MEDICARE TAX ON NET INVESTMENT INCOME OR UNDER THE LAWS OF ANY STATE, LOCAL, OR NON-U.S. TAXING JURISDICTION OR UNDER ANY APPLICABLEINCOME TAX TREATY.

Definition of a Non-U.S. Holder

For purposes of this discussion, a “Non-U.S. Holder” is any beneficial owner of our commonstock that is neither a “United States person” nor a partnership or other entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes. A United States person is any person that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes,is or is treated as any of the following:

Distributions

Asdescribed in the section entitled “Dividend Policy,” we do not anticipate declaring or paying dividends to holders of our common stock in the foreseeable future. However, if we do make distributions of cash or property on our common stock,such distributions will constitute dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent paid from our current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles. Amounts not treated as dividends forU.S. federal income tax purposes will constitute a return of capital and first be applied against and reduce a Non-U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in its common stock, but not below zero. Any excess willbe treated as capital gain and will be treated as described below under “Sale or Other Taxable Disposition.”

Subject to thediscussion below on effectively connected income, backup withholding, and the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act, dividends paid to a Non-U.S. Holder of our common stock will be subject to U.S. federalwithholding tax at a rate of 30% of the gross amount of the dividends (or such lower rate specified by an applicable income tax treaty, provided the Non-U.S. Holder furnishes to us or our paying agent prior tothe payment of dividends a valid IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or other applicable documentation) certifying qualification for thelower treaty rate). A Non-U.S. Holder that does not timely furnish the required documentation, but that qualifies for a reduced treaty rate, may obtain a refund of any excess amounts withheld by timely filingan appropriate claim for refund with the IRS. Non-U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding their entitlement to benefits under any applicable income tax treaty.

If dividends paid to a Non-U.S. Holder are effectively connected with the Non-U.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, the Non-U.S.

29

Holder maintains a permanent establishment in the United States to which such dividends are attributable), the Non-U.S. Holder will be exempt from the U.S.federal withholding tax described above. To claim the exemption, the Non-U.S. Holder must furnish to the applicable withholding agent a valid IRS Form W-8ECI, certifyingthat the dividends are effectively connected with the Non-U.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the United States.

Any such effectively connected dividends will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on a net income basis at the regular graduated rates. A Non-U.S. Holder that is a corporation also may be subject to a branch profits tax at a rate of 30% (or such lower rate specified by an applicable income tax treaty) on its effectively connected earnings and profits(as adjusted for certain items), which will include such effectively connected dividends. Non-U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding any applicable tax treaties that may provide for differenttreatment.

Sale or Other Taxable Disposition

Subject to the discussion below on backup withholding and the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act, aNon-U.S. Holder generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on any gain realized upon the sale or other taxable disposition of our common stock unless:

Gain described in the first bullet point above generally will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on a net income basis at the regulargraduated rates. A Non-U.S. Holder that is a corporation also may be subject to a branch profits tax at a rate of 30% (or such lower rate specified by an applicable income tax treaty) on its effectivelyconnected earnings and profits (as adjusted for certain items), which will include such effectively connected gain.

A Non-U.S. Holder described in the second bullet point above will be subject to U.S. federal income tax at a rate of 30% (or such lower rate specified by an applicable income tax treaty) on any gain derived from thedisposition, which may generally be offset by U.S. source capital losses of the Non-U.S. Holder (even though the individual is not considered a resident of the United States), provided the Non-U.S. Holder has timely filed U.S. federal income tax returns with respect to such losses.

Withrespect to the third bullet point above, we believe we currently are not, and do not anticipate becoming, a USRPHC. Because the determination of whether we are a USRPHC depends, however, on the fair market value of our USRPIs relative to the fairmarket value of our non-U.S. real property interests and our other business assets, there can be no assurance that we currently are not a USRPHC or will not become one in the future. Even if we are or were tobecome a USRPHC, gain arising from the sale or other taxable disposition by a Non-U.S. Holder of our common stock will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax if our common stock is

30

“regularly traded,” as defined by applicable Treasury Regulations, on an established securities market, and such Non-U.S. Holder owned, actuallyand constructively, five percent or less of our common stock throughout the shorter of the five-year period ending on the date of the sale or other taxable disposition or the Non-U.S. Holder’s holdingperiod. If we were to become a USRPHC and our common stock were not considered to be “regularly traded” on an established securities market during the calendar year in which the relevant disposition by aNon-U.S. holder occurs, such Non-U.S. holder (regardless of the percentage of stock owned) would be subject to U.S. federal income tax on a sale or other taxabledisposition of our common stock and a 15% withholding tax would apply to the gross proceeds from such disposition.

Non-U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding potentially applicable income tax treaties that may provide for different treatment.

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding

Payments of dividends on our common stock generally will not be subject to backup withholding, provided the applicable withholding agent doesnot have actual knowledge or reason to know that the Non-U.S. Holder is a United States person and the Non-U.S. Holder either certifies its non-U.S. status, such as by furnishing a valid IRS Form W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E, or W-8ECI, or otherwise establishes an exemption. However, information returns are required to be filed with the IRS in connection with any dividends on our common stock paid to theNon-U.S. Holder, regardless of whether any tax was actually withheld. In addition, proceeds of the sale or other taxable disposition of our common stock within the United States or conducted through certainU.S.-related brokers generally will not be subject to backup withholding or information reporting if the applicable withholding agent receives the certification described above and does not have actual knowledge or reason to know that such Non-U.S. Holder is a United States person, or the Non-U.S. Holder otherwise establishes an exemption. If a Non-U.S. Holder does notprovide the certification described above or the applicable withholding agent has actual knowledge or reason to know that such Non-U.S. Holder is a United States person, payments of dividends or of proceeds ofthe sale or other taxable disposition of our common stock may be subject to backup withholding at a rate currently equal to 24% of the gross proceeds of such dividend, sale, or taxable disposition. Proceeds of a disposition of our common stockconducted through a non-U.S. office of a non-U.S. broker generally will not be subject to backup withholding or information reporting.

Copies of information returns that are filed with the IRS may also be made available under the provisions of an applicable treaty or agreementto the tax authorities of the country in which the Non-U.S. Holder resides or is established.

Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules may be allowed as a refund or a creditagainst a Non-U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability, provided the required information is timely furnished to the IRS.

Non-U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding information reporting and backupwithholding.

Additional Withholding Tax on Payments Made to Foreign Accounts

Withholding taxes may be imposed under Sections 1471 to 1474 of the Code (such Sections commonly referred to as the Foreign Account TaxCompliance Act (the “FATCA”)), on certain types of payments made to non-U.S. financial institutions and certain other non-U.S. entities. Specifically, a 30%withholding tax may be imposed on dividends on, or gross proceeds from the sale or other disposition of, our common stock paid to a “foreign financial institution” or a “non-financial foreignentity” (each as defined in the Code) (including, in some cases, when such foreign financial institution or non-financial foreign entity is acting as an intermediary),

31

unless (1) the foreign financial institution undertakes certain diligence and reporting obligations, (2) the non-financial foreign entity eithercertifies it does not have any “substantial United States owners” (as defined in the Code) or furnishes identifying information regarding each direct and indirect substantial United States owner, or (3) the foreign financialinstitution or non-financial foreign entity otherwise qualifies for an exemption from these rules. If the payee is a foreign financial institution and is subject to the diligence and reporting requirements in(1) above, it must enter into an agreement with the U.S. Department of the Treasury requiring, among other things, that it undertake to identify accounts held by certain “specified United States persons” or “United States-ownedforeign entities” (each as defined in the Code), annually report certain information about such accounts, and withhold 30% on certain payments to noncompliant foreign financial institutions and certain other account holders. Foreign financialinstitutions located in jurisdictions that have an intergovernmental agreement with the United States governing FATCA may be subject to different rules.

Under the Code, applicable Treasury Regulations and administrative guidance, withholding under FATCA generally applies to payments ofdividends on our common stock. On December 13, 2018, the U.S. Department of the Treasury released proposed regulations (which may be relied upon by taxpayers until final regulations are issued), which eliminate FATCA withholding on the grossproceeds from a sale or other disposition of our common stock. Prospective investors should consult their tax advisors regarding the potential application of withholding under FATCA to their investment in our common stock.

UNDERWRITING

The selling stockholders are offering the shares of common stock described in this prospectus through a number of underwriters. GoldmanSachs & Co. LLC and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC are acting as representatives of the underwriters. We and the selling stockholders have entered into an underwriting agreement with the underwriters. Subject to the terms and conditions of theunderwriting agreement, the selling stockholders have agreed to sell to the underwriters, and each underwriter has severally agreed to purchase, at the public offering price less the underwriting discounts and commissions set forth on the cover pageof this prospectus, the number of shares of common stock listed next to its name in the following table:

The underwriters are committed to purchase all the shares of common stock offered by the selling stockholdersif they purchase any shares. The underwriting agreement also provides that if an underwriter defaults, the purchase commitments of non-defaulting underwriters may also be increased or the offering may beterminated.

The underwriters propose to offer the shares of common stock directly to the public at the public offering price set forth onthe cover page of this prospectus and to certain dealers at that price less a concession not in excess of $                 per share. After the initial offering of theshares to the public, if all of the shares of common stock are not sold at the public offering price, the underwriters may change the offering price and the other selling terms. The offering of the shares by the underwriters is subject to receiptand acceptance and subject to the underwriters’ right to reject any order in whole or in part. Sales of shares made outside of the United States may be made by affiliates of the underwriters.

The underwriters have an option to buy up to 1,800,000 additional shares of common stock from the selling stockholders to cover sales ofshares by the underwriters which exceed the number of shares specified in the table above. The underwriters have 30 days from the date of this prospectus to exercise this option to purchase additional shares. If any shares are purchased with thisoption to purchase additional shares, the underwriters will purchase shares in approximately the same proportion as shown in the table above. If any additional shares of common stock are purchased, the underwriters will offer the additional shareson the same terms as those on which the shares are being offered.

The underwriting fee is equal to the public offering price per share ofcommon stock less the amount paid by the underwriters to the selling stockholders per share of common stock. The underwriting fee is $                 per share. Thefollowing table shows the per share and total underwriting discounts and commissions to be paid to the underwriters assuming both no exercise and full exercise of the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares.

We estimate that the total expenses of this offering, including registration, filing and listing fees,printing fees, and legal and accounting expenses, but excluding the underwriting discounts and commissions, will be

33

approximately $                 million. We have also agreed to reimburse the underwriters for certain of theirexpenses in connection with this offering in an amount up to $                . In addition, the underwriters have agreed to reimburse certain of our expenses inconnection with this offering.

A prospectus in electronic format may be made available on the web sites maintained by one or moreunderwriters, or selling group members, if any, participating in the offering. The underwriters may agree to allocate a number of shares to underwriters and selling group members for sale to their online brokerage account holders. Internetdistributions will be allocated by the representatives to underwriters and selling group members that may make Internet distributions on the same basis as other allocations.

We have agreed that for a period of 90 days after the date of this prospectus, we will not (i) offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell,sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, lend, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, or submit to, or file with, the Commission aregistration statement under the Securities Act relating to, any shares of common stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for common stock, or publicly disclose the intention to undertake any of the foregoing, or(ii) enter into any swap or other agreement that transfers, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the common stock or any such other securities, whether any such transaction described in clause (i) or (ii)above is to be settled by delivery of common stock or such other securities, in cash or otherwise, without the prior written consent of Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC.

The restrictions on our actions, as described above, do not apply to certain transactions, including (i) the shares of common stock to besold in this offering; (ii) the issuance of shares of common stock or securities convertible into or exercisable for shares of common stock pursuant to the conversion or exchange of convertible or exchangeable securities or the exercise ofwarrants or options (including net exercise) or the settlement of RSUs (including net settlement), in each case outstanding on the date of this prospectus; (iii) grants of stock options, stock awards, restricted stock, RSUs or other equityawards and the issuance of shares of common stock or securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of common stock (whether upon the exercise of stock options or otherwise) to the Company’s employees, officers,directors, advisors or consultants pursuant to the terms of an equity compensation plan in effect as of the closing of this offering and described herein, provided that such recipients enter into a lock-upagreement with the underwriters described below; (iv) the issuance of up to 7.5% of the shares of common stock issued and outstanding immediately following the consummation of this offering, in acquisitions or other similar strategictransactions, provided that such recipients enter into a lock-up agreement with the underwriters described below; and (v) the filing of any registration statement on FormS-8 relating to securities granted or to be granted pursuant to any plan in effect on the date of this prospectus and described herein or any assumed benefit plan pursuant to an acquisition or similarstrategic transaction.

Subject to certain customary limitations, we and the selling stockholders have agreed to indemnify theunderwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

Our common stock is listed on Nasdaq under thesymbol “PYCR.”

In connection with this offering, the underwriters may engage in stabilizing transactions, which involves makingbids for, purchasing and selling shares of common stock in the open market for the purpose of preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of the common stock while this offering is in progress. These stabilizing transactions may includemaking short sales of the common stock, which involves the sale by the underwriters of a greater number of shares of common stock than they are required to purchase in this offering, and purchasing shares of common stock on the open market to coverpositions created by short sales. Short sales may be “covered” shorts, which are short positions in an amount not greater than the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares referred to above, or may be “naked”shorts, which are short positions in excess of that amount.

34

The underwriters may close out any covered short position either by exercising their option to purchase additional shares, in whole or in part, or by purchasing shares in the open market. Inmaking this determination, the underwriters will consider, among other things, the price of shares available for purchase in the open market compared to the price at which the underwriters may purchase shares through the option to purchaseadditional shares. A naked short position is more likely to be created if the underwriters are concerned that there may be downward pressure on the price of the common stock in the open market that could adversely affect investors who purchase inthis offering. To the extent that the underwriters create a naked short position, they will purchase shares in the open market to cover the position.

The underwriters have advised us that, pursuant to Regulation M of the Securities Act, they may also engage in other activities thatstabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the price of the common stock, including the imposition of penalty bids. This means that if the representatives of the underwriters purchase common stock in the open market in stabilizing transactions or tocover short sales, the representatives can require the underwriters that sold those shares as part of this offering to repay the underwriting discount received by them.

These activities may have the effect of raising or maintaining the market price of the common stock or preventing or retarding a decline inthe market price of the common stock, and, as a result, the price of the common stock may be higher than the price that otherwise might exist in the open market. If the underwriters commence these activities, they may discontinue them at any time.The underwriters may carry out these transactions on Nasdaq, in the over-the-counter market or otherwise.

Section 145 of the DGCL, or Section 145, provides that a Delawarecorporation may indemnify any person who was, is or is threatened to be made, party to any threatened, pending, or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative (other than an action by or in theright of such corporation), by reason of the fact that such person is or was an officer, director, employee, or agent of such corporation or is or was serving at the request of such corporation as a director, officer, employee, or agent of anothercorporation or enterprise. The indemnity may include expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit, or proceeding,provided such person acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the corporation’s best interests and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that hisconduct was illegal. A Delaware corporation may indemnify any persons who are, were or are a party to any threatened, pending, or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation by reason of the fact that such person is or was adirector, officer, employee, or agent of another corporation or enterprise. The indemnity may include expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the defense or settlement of suchaction or suit, provided such person acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the corporation’s best interests, provided that no indemnification is permitted without judicial approval if the officer,director, employee, or agent is adjudged to be liable to the corporation. Where an officer or director is successful on the merits or otherwise in the defense of any action referred to above, the corporation must indemnify him against the expenseswhich such officer or director has actually and reasonably incurred.

Section 145 further authorizes a corporation to purchase andmaintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee, or agent of the corporation or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee, or agent of another corporation orenterprise, against any liability asserted against him and incurred by him in any such capacity, or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the corporation would otherwise have the power to indemnify him under Section 145.

Our bylaws provide that we will indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest extentauthorized by the DGCL and must also pay expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition upon delivery of an undertaking, by or on behalf of an indemnified person, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shouldbe determined ultimately that such person is not entitled to be indemnified under this section or otherwise.

We have entered intoindemnification agreements with each of our executive officers and directors. The indemnification agreements provide the executive officers and directors with contractual rights to indemnification, expense advancement, and reimbursement, to thefullest extent permitted under the DGCL.

The indemnification rights set forth above shall not be exclusive of any other right which anindemnified person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of our certificate of incorporation or bylaws, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise.

We will maintain standard policies of insurance that provide coverage (1) to our directors and officers against loss arising from claimsmade by reason of breach of duty or other wrongful act and (2) to us with respect to indemnification payments that we may make to such directors and officers. The proposed form of Underwriting Agreement to be filed as Exhibit 1.1 to thisRegistration Statement provides for indemnification of our directors and officers by the underwriters party thereto against certain liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) or otherwise.

(ii)     Financial statement schedules

No financial statement schedules are provided because the information called for is not applicable or is shown in the financial statements ornotes.

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to provide to the underwriters at the closing specified in the underwriting agreement,certificates in such denominations and registered in such names as required by the underwriters to permit prompt delivery to each purchaser.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers, and controlling personsof the registrant pursuant to the provisions referenced in Item 14 of this Registration Statement, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in theSecurities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer, or controlling person of theregistrant in the successful defense of any action, suit, or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer, or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered hereunder, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of itscounsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the finaladjudication of such issue.

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that:

(1) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part ofthis Registration Statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in the form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this RegistrationStatement as of the time it was declared effective.

(2) For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, eachpost-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at the time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fideoffering thereof.
