NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS

Griffey Global Holdings, Inc. (“Griffey Holdings” or “the Company”) was incorporated in Delaware on September 25, 2012. In October of the same year, the Company indirectly acquired Getty Images, Inc. (“Getty Images”). Getty Images and its subsidiaries collectively represent the operations of the Company.

Getty Images is a world leader in serving the visual content needs of businesses with over 486 million assets available through its industry-leading sites; gettyimages.com, istock.com and unsplash.com. The Company serves businesses in almost every country in the world with websites in 23 languages bringing content to media outlets, advertising agencies and corporations and, increasingly, serving individual creators and prosumers.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation — These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with the generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim reporting. Certain notes or other information that are normally required by U.S. GAAP have been omitted if they substantially duplicate the disclosures contained in the Company’s annual audited financial statements. Accordingly, the unaudited financial statements should be read in connection with the Company’s audited financial statements and related notes as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 and for the two years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020. The financial data and the other financial information disclosed in the notes to the financial statements related to these periods are also unaudited. The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements, in the opinion of management, include all normal and recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s unaudited financial statements for the periods presented.

The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 or for any other future annual or interim period.

The accompanying unaudited financial statements include the accounts and operations of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Deferred Offering Costs — The Company has capitalized direct and incremental qualified legal, accounting and direct costs related to its proposed equity offering and merger with CC Neuberger Principal Holdings II, a Cayman Island exempt company (“CCNB”). Deferred offering costs are included in other assets on the balance sheets and will be deferred until the completion of the equity offering and merger with CCNB, at which time they will be deducted from the combined companies’ additional paid-in capital. If the Company terminates its planned equity offering and merger or there is a significant delay, all of the deferred offering costs will be immediately written off to operating expenses. As of March 31, 2022, $5.9 million of deferred offering costs were capitalized.

F-6

Contingent Consideration — The Company records a liability for contingent consideration at the date of a business combination and reassesses the fair value of the liability each period until it is settled. Upon settlement of these liabilities, the portion of the contingent consideration payment that is attributable to the initial amount recorded as part of the business combination will be classified as a cash flow from financing activities and the portion of the settlement that is attributable to subsequent changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration will be classified as a cash flow from operating activities in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.

Estimates and Assumptions — The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and revenues and expenses reported during the period. Some of the estimates and assumptions that require the most difficult judgments are: a) the appropriateness of the valuation and useful lives of intangibles and other long-lived assets; b) the appropriateness of the amount of accrued income taxes, including the potential outcome of future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the condensed consolidated financial statements as well as the deferred tax asset valuation allowances; c) the sufficiency of the allowance for doubtful accounts; d) the assumptions used to value equity-based compensation arrangements; e) the assumptions used to allocate transaction price to multiple performance obligations for uncapped subscription arrangements; f) the assumptions used to estimate unused capped subscription-based and credit-based products; and g) the assumptions used to estimate the Contingent Consideration. These judgments are inherently uncertain which directly impacts their valuation and accounting. Actual results and outcomes may differ from management’s estimates and assumptions.

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash — The following represents the Company’s cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 (in thousands):

	As of March 31, 2022		As of December 31, 2021
Cash and cash equivalents	$	210,847	$	186,301
Restricted cash		4,574		5,228
Total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash	$	215,421	$	191,529

Cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid investments that are both readily convertible to cash and have maturities at the date of acquisition of three months or less. Cash equivalents are generally composed of investment-grade debt instruments subject to lower levels of credit risk, including certificates of deposit and money market funds. The Company’s current cash and cash equivalents consist primarily of cash on hand, bank deposits, and money market accounts.

Restricted cash consists of cash held as collateral related to corporate credit cards and real estate lease obligations.

Accounts Receivable — Net — Accounts receivable are trade receivables, net of reserves for allowances for doubtful accounts totaling $6.3 million as of March 31, 2022 and $5.9 million as of December 31, 2021. During the three months ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021, the Company recorded net bad debt expense of $0.4 million and net recoveries of $0.1 million, respectively.

F-7

Allowance for doubtful accounts is calculated based on historical losses, existing economic conditions, and analysis of specific older account balances of customer and delegate accounts. Trade receivables are written off when collection efforts have been exhausted.

Minority Investment without Readily Determinable Fair Value — The carrying amount of the minority investment, which is included within “Other long-term assets” on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, was $8.0 million and $8.1 million as March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The Company uses the measurement alternative for these equity investments and their carrying value is reported at cost, adjusted for impairments or any observable price changes in ordinary transactions with identical or similar investments. Revenue related to content consumed by the minority investee was not material during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021.

On a quarterly basis, the Company evaluates the carrying value of its long-term investments for impairment, which includes an assessment of revenue growth, earnings performance, working capital and general market conditions. As of March 31, 2022, no adjustments to the carrying values of the Company’s long-term investments were identified as a result of this assessment. Changes in performance negatively impacting operating results and cash flows of these investments could result in the Company recording an impairment charge in future periods.

Revenue Recognition — Revenue is derived principally from licensing rights to use images, video footage and music that are delivered digitally over the internet. Digital content licenses are generally purchased on a monthly or annual subscription basis, whereby a customer either pays for a predetermined quantity of content or for access to the Company’s content library that may be downloaded over a specific period of time, or, on a transactional basis, whereby a customer pays for individual content licenses at the time of download. Also, a significant portion of revenue is generated through the sale and subsequent use of credits. Various amounts of credits are required to license digital content.

The Company maintains a credit department that sets and monitors credit policies that establish credit limits and ascertains customer creditworthiness, thus reducing the risk of potential credit loss. Revenue is not recognized unless it is determined that collectability is reasonably assured. Revenue is recorded at invoiced amounts (including discounts and applicable sales taxes) less an allowance for sales returns which is based on historical information. Customer payments received in advance of revenue recognition are contract liabilities and are recorded as deferred revenue. Customers that do not pay in advance are invoiced and are required to make payments under standard credit terms.

The Company recognizes revenue under the core principle to depict the transfer of control to the Company’s customers in an amount reflecting the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled. In order to achieve that core principle, the Company applies the following five-step approach: (i) identify the contract with a customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determine the transaction price, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract and (v) recognize revenue when a performance obligation is satisfied.

For digital content licenses, the Company recognizes revenue on both its capped subscription-based, credit-based sales and single image licenses when content is downloaded, at which time the license is provided. In addition, management estimates expected unused licenses for capped subscription-based and credit-based products and recognizes the revenue associated with the unused licenses throughout the subscription or credit period. The estimate of unused licenses is based on historical download activity and future changes in the estimate could impact the timing of revenue recognition of the Company’s subscription products.

F-8

For uncapped digital content subscriptions, the Company has determined that access to the existing content library and future digital content updates represent two separate performance obligations. As such, a portion of the total contract consideration related to access to the existing content library is recognized as revenue at the commencement of the contract when control of the content library is transferred. The remaining contractual consideration is recognized as revenue ratably over the term of the contract when updated digital content is transferred to the licensee, in line with when the control of the new content is transferred.

Leases —The Company records rent expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the related lease. Prior to the adoption of ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), as amended (“ASC 842”), the difference between the rent expense recognized and the actual payments made in accordance with the operating lease agreement was recognized as a deferred rent liability on the Company’s balance sheet. As of December 31, 2021, the Company had deferred rent of $8.3 million, which is included in “Accrued liabilities” and “Other long-term liabilities” in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Effective January 1, 2022, the Company adopted ASC 842. In accordance with ASC 842, the Company first determines if an arrangement contains a lease and the classification of that lease, if applicable, at inception. This standard requires the recognition of right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities for the Company’s operating leases. For contracts with lease and non-lease components, the Company has elected not to allocate the contract consideration, and to account for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component. The Company has also elected not to recognize a lease liability or ROU asset for leases with a term of 12 months or less, and recognize lease payments for those short-term leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Operating leases are included in “Right of use assets”, “Accrued liabilities” and “Lease liabilities” (net of current portion) in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments under the lease. ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. The implicit rate within the Company’s leases is generally not determinable and therefore the incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date is utilized to determine the present value of lease payments. The determination of the incremental borrowing rate requires judgment. Management determines the incremental borrowing rate for each lease using the Company’s estimated borrowing rate, adjusted for various factors including level of collateralization, term and currency to align with the terms of the lease. The ROU asset also includes any lease prepayments, offset by lease incentives. Certain of the Company’s leases include options to extend or terminate the lease. An option to extend the lease is considered in connection with determining the ROU asset and lease liability when the Company is reasonably certain that the option will be exercised. An option to terminate is considered unless the Company is reasonably certain the option will not be exercised. The ROU assets are reviewed for impairment with the Company’s long-lived assets

Recently Adopted Accounting Standard Updates —In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (“ASU 2016-02”). ASU 2016-02 amends the accounting for leases. The new guidance requires the recognition of lease assets and liabilities for operating leases with terms of more than twelve months, in addition to those currently recorded, on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Presentation of leases within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows will be generally consistent with the current lease accounting guidance. The Company adopted the new standard as of January 1, 2022 using the modified retrospective transition method and will elect the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance, which allows a carryforward of the historical lease classification. The Company also elected the hindsight practical expedient to determine the reasonably certain lease term for existing leases. The election of the hindsight practical expedient did not alter the lease terms for any of the existing leases. Upon adoption of this standard on January 1, 2022, the Company recognized a total lease liability in the amount of $61.3 million, representing the present value of the minimum rental payments remaining as of the adoption date, a right-of-use asset in the amount of $53.1 million with offsets to deferred rent of $8.3 million.

F-9

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (Topic 740) (“ASU 2019-12”), which removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and improves consistent application of and simplifies U.S. GAAP for other areas of Topic 740 by clarifying and amending existing guidance. The Company adopted ASU 2019-12, effective January 1, 2022. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Standard Updates — In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13 (Topic 326), Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (“ASU 2016-13”). ASU 2016-13 changes how to recognize expected credit losses on financial assets. The standard requires more timely recognition of credit losses on loans and other financial assets and also provides additional transparency about credit risk. The current credit loss standard generally requires that a loss actually be incurred before it is recognized, while the new standard will require recognition of full lifetime expected losses upon initial recognition of the financial instrument. The effective date of ASU 2016-13 for non-public companies is fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2016-13 on its financial statements for future periods and had not elected early adoption.

3. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

Foreign Currency Risk — Certain assets, liabilities and future operating transactions are exposed to foreign currency exchange rate risk. The Company utilizes derivative financial instruments, namely foreign currency forwards and option contracts, to reduce the impact of foreign currency exchange rate risks where natural hedges do not exist. The Company is exposed to market risk from foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations as a result of foreign currency-denominated revenues and expenses. The Company enters into certain foreign currency derivative contracts, including foreign currency forward options, with varying maturity dates, currently ranging from three to eighteen months, to manage these risks.

Interest Rate Risk — The Company does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading purposes. In general, the Company’s derivative activities do not create foreign currency exchange rate risk because fluctuations in the value of the instruments used for economic hedging purposes are offset by fluctuations in the value of the underlying exposures being hedged. Counterparties to derivative financial instruments expose the Company to credit related losses in the event of nonperformance; however, the Company has entered into these instruments with creditworthy financial institutions and considers the risk of nonperformance to be minimal.

4. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company’s disclosable financial instruments consist of cash equivalents, forward foreign currency exchange contracts, interest rate swaps and debt. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis (cash equivalents, forward exchange contracts and interest rates swaps) and a nonrecurring basis (debt) are categorized in the tables below.

Financial instrument assets recorded at fair value as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 are as follows (in thousands):

The fair value of the Company’s money market funds is based on quoted active market prices for the funds and is determined using the market approach.

Financial instrument liabilities recorded or disclosed at fair value as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 are as follows (in thousands):

	As of March 31, 2022
	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total
Term Loans	$	—	$	1,459,561	$	—	$	1,459,561

	$	—	$	1,807,893	$	14,039	$	1,821,932

The fair value of the Company’s Term Loans and Senior Notes are based on market quotes provided by a third-party pricing source.

The fair value of the Company’s interest rate swap contracts and foreign currency exchange contracts are based on market quotes provided by the counterparty. Quotes by the counterparty are calculated based on observable current rates and forward interest rate curves and exchange rates. The Company recalculates and validates this fair value using publicly available market inputs using the market approach.

As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had estimated its obligations to transfer Contingent Consideration relating to the acquisition of Unsplash to be $14.5 million and $14.0 million, respectively. The Company recorded the acquisition-date fair value of the Contingent Consideration, based on the likelihood of contingent earn-out payments, as part of the consideration transferred. The earn-out payments are remeasured to fair value each reporting date. Changes in the fair value of the Contingent Consideration are recognized within “Other operating expense — net” on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. The fair value of the Contingent Consideration is based on significant inputs not observable in the market, and as such the Company classified the financial liability as Level 3. The fair value of the Contingent Consideration may change significantly as additional data is obtained, impacting the Company’s assumptions regarding probabilities of outcomes used to estimate the fair value of the liabilities. In evaluating this information, considerable judgment is required to interpret the data used to develop the assumptions and estimates. The estimates of fair value may not be indicative of the amounts that could be realized in a current market exchange. Accordingly, the use of different market assumptions and/or different valuation techniques may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts, and such changes could materially impact the Company’s results of operations in future periods.

F-12

The following table provides quantitative information associated with the fair value measurements of the Company’s Level 3 inputs:

	Fair Value as of
	March 31, 2022		Valuation
	(in thousands)		Technique	Unobservable Input	Range
Contingent Consideration		14,470	Probability-adjusted discounted cash flow	Probabilities of success		55% - 100%
				Years until milestones are expected to be achieved		0.25 - 1.90 years
				Discount rate		8.10% - 8.53%

This Contingent Consideration was valued using an income approach where revenue was simulated in a risk-neutral framework using Geometric Brownian Motion, a model of stock price behavior that is used in option pricing models such as the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The real options method extends this model to situations where the asset of interest (revenue in this case) is not priced in the market. The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Contingent Consideration forecasts of expected future revenues and the probability of achievement of those forecasts. Increases in the assessed likelihood of a higher payout under a Contingent Consideration arrangement contribute to increases in the fair value of the related liability. Conversely, decreases in the assessed likelihood of a higher payout under a Contingent Consideration arrangement contribute to decreases in the fair value of the related liability.

The following table presents changes in the fair value of the Contingent Consideration for the three months ended March 31, 2022 (in thousands):

10. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into certain types of agreements that contingently require the Company to indemnify counterparties against third-party claims. The nature and terms of these indemnifications vary from contract to contract, and generally a maximum obligation is not stated. Because management does not believe a liability is probable, no related liabilities were recorded at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

The Company is subject to a variety of legal claims and suits that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of business. Although management currently believes that resolving such claims, individually or in aggregate, will not have a material adverse impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements, these matters are subject to inherent uncertainties and management’s view of these matters may change in the future. The Company holds insurance policies that mitigate potential losses arising from certain indemnifications, and historically, significant costs related to performance under these obligations have not been incurred.

As of March 31, 2022, the Company signed a new lease for office space effective as of March of 2022 which increased our commitments by $8.4 million through August of 2032. The lease for the existing space the Company occupied was expiring. There were no other material changes to the commitments since December 31, 2021.

Such dividends are also included as an adjustment to net income attributable to Griffey Holdings. See “Note 16 — Net Income Attributable to Common Stockholders”.

The Company has classified its Redeemable Preferred Stock as mezzanine equity in the balance sheets as the shares are redeemable at the option of the holders.

The Redeemable Preferred Stock is considered probable of becoming redeemable as the holders have an option to request redemption of their Redeemable Preferred Shares on February 19, 2027. The Redeemable Preferred Stock has no voting rights and is not convertible into any other equity interests.

14. LEASES

The Company’s leases relate primarily to office facilities that expire on various dates from 2022 through 2032, some of which include one or more options to renew. All of the Company’s leases are classified as operating leases. Operating leases are included in “Right of use assets” in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Current portion of the lease liabilities are included in “Accrued liabilities” and non-current portion of lease liabilities are included in “Lease liabilities” in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Operating lease costs, including insignificant costs related to short-term leases, were $3.4 million and $6.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021, respectively.

Total undiscounted lease payments		78,262
Less: imputed interest	$	(14,623	)
Total lease liabilities	$	63,639

Due to hybrid working arrangements, the Company reassessed its office needs and subleased several office locations during the quarter ending March 31, 2022. These agreements were considered to be operating leases. The Company has not been legally released from our primary obligations under the original leases and therefore the Company continues to account for the original lease separately. The Company recorded an ROU asset impairment charge in the three months ending March 31, 2022 of $2.6 million, which was the amount by which the carrying value of the lease ROU assets exceeded the fair values. Estimated fair values are based on the discounted cash flows of estimated net rental income for the office spaces subleased. The ROU asset impairment charge is included in “Other operating expense (income) - net” on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. Rent income from the sublessees are included in the statement of operations on a straight-line basis as an offset to rent expense associated with the original operating lease included in “Selling, general and administrative expenses” on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.

15. INCOME TAXES

The Company recorded an income tax expense of $13.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, as compared to income tax expense of $14.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The decrease in tax expense compared to the prior year is primarily due to a change in valuation allowance and pre-tax income. The provision for income taxes for interim periods is determined using an estimate of our annual effective rate. Any changes to the estimated annual rate is recorded in the interim period in which the change occurs.

The Company’s effective income tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2022 is 34.3%. The most significant drivers of the difference between the Company’s 2022 statutory U.S. federal income tax rate of 21.0% and the Company’s effective tax rate are primarily due to jurisdictions with losses for which no tax benefit can be recognized and foreign withholding tax expense not analogous to pre-tax income. The effective income tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was 32.1%. The most significant drivers of the difference between the Company’s 2021 statutory U.S. federal income tax rate of 21.0% and the Company’s effective tax rate are primarily due to jurisdictions with losses for which no tax benefit can be recognized and foreign withholding tax expense not analogous to pre-tax income.
