Item 5.07. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders. 

 

On July 17, 2025, Skillsoft Corp. (the “Company”) held its 2025 annual meeting of stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”). The following matters were voted upon at the Annual Meeting: (i) election of three Class I directors to a term of three years each, or until their successors have been elected and qualified; (ii) approval, on an advisory basis, of the compensation of our named executive officers; (iii) approval, on an advisory basis, of the frequency of advisory votes on the compensation of our named executive officers; and (iv) ratification of the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending January 31, 2026. The Company also solicited proxies with respect to the adjournment of the Annual Meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary or appropriate, to solicit additional proxies if there were insufficient votes at the time of the Annual Meeting to approve the presented proposals or to constitute a quorum (the “Adjournment Proposal”). As a quorum was present, and there were sufficient votes to adopt the other proposals, adjournment of the Annual Meeting was unnecessary and the Adjournment Proposal was not presented to the Company’s stockholders. Each of the proposals is described in greater detail in the Company’s definitive proxy statement for the Annual Meeting filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on May 29, 2025 (the “Proxy Statement”).

 

There were 8,482,641 shares of Class A Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (“Common Stock”), issued and outstanding at the close of business on May 19, 2025, the record date (the “Record Date”) for the Annual Meeting. At the Annual Meeting, there were 6,403,947 shares of Common Stock present in person or by proxy, representing approximately 75.49% of the total outstanding shares of Common Stock as of the Record Date, which constituted a quorum. A summary of the voting results for each proposal is set forth below.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

While this advisory vote on the frequency of future advisory votes on the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers is not binding on the Company’s Board of Directors (the "Board"), the Board will carefully evaluate the results of such vote at a future meeting and determine whether it will submit advisory votes on executive compensation for consideration by stockholders every one, two, or three years. The Company will amend this Current Report on Form 8-K to provide information regarding such determination.

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
