Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
 
On July 18, 2024, Skillsoft Corp. (the “Company”) held its 2024 annual meeting of stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”). At the Annual Meeting, the Company’s stockholders approved an amendment to the Skillsoft Corp. 2020 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2020 Plan”) to increase the number of shares authorized under the 2020 Plan by 1,100,000 shares (the “Amendment”). The 2020 Plan was approved by the Company’s stockholders at the June 2021 special meeting of stockholders.
 
A summary of the material terms of the 2020 Plan, as amended, is set forth under the caption “Proposal No. 2: Approval of Amendment to the 2020 Plan” in the Company’s definitive proxy statement for the Annual Meeting filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on June 7, 2024 (the “Proxy Statement”), which summary is incorporated herein by reference.
 
The summary of the Amendment contained herein and in the Proxy Statement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Amendment. A copy of the Amendment is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
 
Item 5.07. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
 
On July 18, 2024, the Company held its Annual Meeting. The following matters were voted upon at the Annual Meeting: (1) election of Class III Directors to hold office until the 2027 Annual Meeting of Stockholders or until their successors have been elected and qualified, (2) approval of an amendment to the 2020 Plan to increase the number of shares of common stock available for issuance under the 2020 Plan, and (3) ratification of the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for its fiscal year ending January 31, 2025. The proposal to adjourn the Annual Meeting to a later date if, based upon the tabulated votes at the time of the Annual Meeting, there were insufficient shares of capital stock represented, either in person or by proxy, to constitute a quorum necessary to conduct business at the Annual Meeting or to approve Proposal No. 2 (Amendment to the 2020 Plan), was not necessary due to the presence of a quorum and the approval of the Amendment. Each of the proposals is described in greater detail in the Proxy Statement. All matters voted on at the Annual Meeting were approved.
 
There were 8,157,124 shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (“Common Stock”), issued and outstanding on May 20, 2024, the record date (the “Record Date”) for the Annual Meeting. At the Annual Meeting, there were 6,220,052 shares present either by proxy or at the meeting, representing approximately 76.25% of the total outstanding shares of Common Stock as of the Record Date, which constituted a quorum.
