Forward - looking statements are inherently subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions.

These statements may be preceded by, followed by or include the words “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” “projects,” “forecasts,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “seeks,” “plans,” “scheduled,” “a nt icipates” or “intends” or similar expressions. Such forward - looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that may cause actual events, results or performance to differ materially from those indicated by such statements. Certain of these risks are identified an d d iscussed in Churchill II’s Form 10 - K for the year ended December 31, 2019 under Risk Factors in Part I, Item 1A. These risk factors will be important to consider in determining future results and should be reviewed in their entirety. These forward - looking statements a re expressed in good faith, and Churchill, Skillsoft and Global Knowledge believe there is a reasonable basis for them. However, th ere can be no assurance that the events, results or trends identified in these forward - looking statements will occur or be achie ved. Forward - looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and none of Churchill, Skillsoft or Global Knowledge is unde r any obligation, and expressly disclaim any obligation, to update, alter or otherwise revise any forward - looking statement, whe ther as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law. Readers should carefully review the state men ts set forth in the reports, which Churchill has filed or will file from time to time with the SEC. ​ In addition to factors previously disclosed in Churchill II’s reports filed with the SEC and those identified elsewhere in th is communication, the following factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from forward - looking stateme nts or historical performance: ability to meet the closing conditions to the Skillsoft merger, including approval by stockholders of Churchill and Skillsoft, and the Global Knowledge merger on the expected terms and schedule and the risk that regulatory approvals required f or the Skillsoft merger and the Global Knowledge merger are not obtained or are obtained subject to conditions that are not anticipa ted ; delay in closing the Skillsoft merger and the Global Knowledge merger; failure to realize the benefits expected from the pr opo sed transactions; the effects of pending and future legislation; risks related to disruption of management time from ongoing busi nes s operations due to the proposed transactions; business disruption following the transactions; risks related to the impact of th e COVID - 19 pandemic on the financial condition and results of operations of Churchill, Skillsoft and Global Knowledge; risks related to Chu rchill’s, Skillsoft’s or Global Knowledge’s indebtedness; other consequences associated with mergers, acquisitions and divest itu res and legislative and regulatory actions and reforms; and risks of demand for, and acceptance of, our products and for cloud - based tec hnology learning solutions in general; our ability to compete successfully in competitive markets and changes in the competit ive environment in our industry and the markets in which we operate; our ability to develop new products; failure of our informat ion technology infrastructure or any significant breach of security; future regulatory, judicial and legislative changes in our i nd ustry; the impact of natural disasters, public health crises, political crises, or other catastrophic events; our ability to attract and re tain key employees and qualified technical and sales personnel; fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates; our ability to protect or obtain intellectual property rights; our ability to raise additional capital; the impact of our indebtedness on our financial positi on and operating flexibility; and our ability to successfully defend ourselves in legal proceedings. ​ Any financial projections in this communication are forward - looking statements that are based on assumptions that are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond Churchill’s, Skillsoft’s and Global Knowledg e’ s control. While all projections are necessarily speculative, Churchill, Skillsoft and Global Knowledge believe that the prepar ati on of prospective financial information involves increasingly higher levels of uncertainty the further out the projection ext end s from the date of preparation. The assumptions and estimates underlying the projected results are inherently uncertain and are subject to a wid e variety of significant business, economic and competitive risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ ma terially from those contained in the projections. The inclusion of projections in this communication should not be regarded as an indi cat ion that Churchill, Skillsoft and Global Knowledge, or their representatives, considered or consider the projections to be a rel iable prediction of future events. ​ Annualized, pro forma, projected and estimated numbers are used for illustrative purpose only, are not forecasts and may not ref lect actual results. ​ This communication is not intended to be all - inclusive or to contain all the information that a person may desire in considering an investment in Churchill and is not intended to form the basis of an investment decision in Churchill. All subsequent writt en and oral forward - looking statements concerning Churchill, Skillsoft and Global Knowledge, the proposed transactions or other matters and attributable to Churchill, Skillsoft and Global Knowledge or any person acting on their behalf are expressly qualified in the ir entirety by the cautionary statements above. ​ Some financial information in this communication, including Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin projections, have not bee n prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Churchill II is unable to provide reconcilia tio ns to the most directly comparable GAAP measures without unreasonable effort due to the uncertainty of the necessary information fo r such calculations.
