(the “Company”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 5, 2022 (the “Original Form 8-K”). The Original Form 8-K reported the completion of the mergers (“Mergers”) pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, by and among the Company, Ryzac, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Codecademy”), Skillsoft Finance II, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Borrower”), Skillsoft Newco I, Inc., a Delaware corporation and direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Borrower (“Merger Sub I”), Skillsoft Newco II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Borrower (“Merger Sub II”), and Fortis Advisors LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, solely in its capacity as the representative of the equity holders of Codecademy. Pursuant to the completion of the Mergers, the Company acquired Codecademy on April 4, 2022.
