EXPLANATORY NOTE
Pursuant to General Instruction E of Form S-8, Skillsoft Corp. (the "Registrant" or the "Company") is filing this registration statement on Form S-8 (this "Registration Statement") with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") for the purpose of registering 579,647 shares (the "Shares") of the Company's Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, that may be issued to participants under the Company's 2020 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the "2020 Plan"). The Shares are being registered in addition to (a) 13,105,902 shares registered on that registration statement on Form S-8 filed with the SEC on August 17, 2021 (File No. 333-258867); (b) 10,211,499 shares registered on that registration statement on Form S-8 filed with the SEC on May 24, 2022 (File No. 333-265182); and (c) 12,353,687 shares registered on that registration statement on Form S-8 filed with the SEC on April 14, 2023 (File No. 333-271269) (collectively, the "Prior Registration Statements"). The Shares consist of (i) an additional 403,939 Shares that have or will become reserved for issuance pursuant to Section 6(a) (the "evergreen" provision) of the 2020 Plan, which provides for an automatic annual increase in the number of shares of Class A common stock available for issuance under the 2020 Plan, and (ii) 175,708 Shares that have become available for issuance under the 2020 Plan as a result of expiration, cancelation, forfeiture or termination, which were previously registered on the Prior Registration Statements. Other than the 403,939 Shares that have become available for issuance pursuant to the "evergreen" provision of the 2020 Plan, the Shares registered by this Registration Statement do not represent an increase in the number of shares previously reserved for issuance under the 2020 Plan.
